Shattering the myth that all videogame stories are nothing but mere trite compared to film, theatre and literature! Also Gene Simmons' kid did the same (ripping off Bleach) and it worked wonders for him
Honestly it's inconsistent for both because: Why didn't he teleport out of that fall from the mansion window, and why doesn't he move at all during the plane fight?
I see, so the ancient holy sniper rifle only held Vergil back, despite it's immense power. His true power lied within the soles of his feet, a kick that can instantly stop the hearts of even the strongest of devils, angels, and hybrids (not saying nephilim)
Vergin awakened to power in this alternate dimension because Donte didn't join his Nephilim fan club. He joins the humans fanclub instead because it has more wiccan chicks and less sniping babies.
@@MantraMan2077 What I wanna know is how Kubo didn't sue. I mean, Dark Souls 2 couldn't get away with porcelain masks, but Tameme and Friends can just totally plagiarize Bleach with no consequences.
You know what could have been a more interesting descent into darkness, and would have made more sense for this Vergil? Don't have him be corrupted, just have him be stubborn. He wanted to take over, simultaneously rule and protect humanity, because he thinks humans are helpless like children. Rather than becoming evil because he feels that Dante betrayed him, make him blinded by his convictions, that he must do the right thing and rule humanity, even if that means becoming stronger than Dante and killing him. This probably would have worked better for the pacing, since it's a short DLC, instead of everyone yelling at Vergil for being a dick and him either not responding or basically just saying "no", they tell him he's evil, and he argues that what he does is for the greater good. This is basically what happened at the end of the main game, Vergil said he wanted to take over, and Dante and Kat were like "what the fuck? No, that's evil", and a fight ensued due to those opposing view points. It would've made more sense if this DLC's story just elaborated on that, but instead Vergil just gets angry and starts yelling "I NEED POWER!"
It's also because the fake Dante and Kat, that are supposed to be in his mind and his perceptions, are not only saying things that the real ones never said, but their doesn't seem to be much foundation for them to say these things. If this game got a sequel, a big part of Vergil's motivation is equivalent to someone saying "I'm mad at you because you were a dick to me in my dream last night". Pat and Woolie already pointed out that Vergil pulled his sword on Dante first, Dante didn't want to fight his brother, he wanted to resolve things, then Kat stopped Dante from going too far and killing Vergil, so there is no reason for him to believe the two of them hate him like they do in this hell mindscape. Like I said, if they just made it that Vergil is stubborn in his decision, and thinks Dante is misguided, then he believes that Dante's foolish way of thinking will jeopardize the entire human race, so he has to become stronger and kill Dante to save and rule the human world.
You're not wrong but I kinda like how this story is like a fucked up Persona 4 dungeon. I already wrote a comment about it so I'll just paste it below: and to be fair Vergil does try to plea his case to Kat until she starts poking at his insecurities and attacking him. "I'll be honest I kinda unironically love how this story is basically a persona 4 dungeon gone HORRIBLY WRONG. In P4 a preson is trapped in their dungeon (a manifestation of their faults/repressed feelings) until the party comes to help them accept their shadow (the personification of said faults/feelings) and learn to be a better person. Except no one comes to help Vergil. He doesn't learn or accept anything and just brute forces his way out. this results in him refusing to admit he's wrong and doubling down super hard into villainy."
@@spartandumpster1158 I honesty think the Imprisoner (is that a word?) did something to the fake Kat considering when Vergil catches up it just drops her and leaves. not sure about Dante though; might have something to do with Vergil's obvious inferiority complex.
@@jakereese1216 I don't see why Tommy's idea wouldn't work better with the concept of a P4 dungeon gone wrong. Fake Donte and Kat could have pointed out flaws and hangups, only for Vergil to deny anything about his outlook needs to change. He encounters a cackling caricature of himself as a tyrant for a "shadow," and kills it through brute force instead (with the scene framing how through doing this, Vergil is acting just as his fake claims he does). Instead of accepting his flaws or growing as a person, the DLC could have ended on an actual Donte fight, where Donte (cognitive or real) offers a truce and Vergil rejects it out of hand. If the scene with his mother is still included, have it be nearer the end, and have Vergil be cold and declarative instead of sadistic. If they want to give Vergil a Kylo Ren inferiority complex hissy fit somewhere along the way (either him doing it, or a shadow of himself doing it), that'd still work fine.
One thing I like about this DLC is that the apparitions of Dante and Kat haven’t really twisted any of the events that happened. Vergil is just so narcissistic and full of himself that he can’t fathom the idea that he wasn’t doing the right thing. Also, does Vergil not get to fight the Dreamrunners?!
So let's see here Devil May Cry1:Trish cries after figuring out that Dante cares about her even though she's a Devil Devil May Cry2:Red head girl cries after finding out she was created by the villian Devil May Cry3:Dante cries after losing his twin brother to darkness Devil May Cry4:Nero cries after losing Kyrie to the Saviour Dmc Devil may cry:Lillith cries after heroes snipe her baby Theory DMCV: Vergil will cry because he can never live up to DADDY'S POWER!
Star Wolf64 I'm a hardcore vergil fan and i think seeing vergil cry in 5 could be really beautiful if done in a certain light. Actually I think him crying because him realizing he'll never be as powerful as he'd like would be a good reason, and then having to trust Nero to this as he doesnt have long to live
So Vergin kills a figment of his own imagination that somehow gives him DINO's real pendant, or real enough to fool their own mother who gave it to DINO?
Yeah, that way you can have the melodramatic scene you want, and not have to worry about what comes before, or after, or the characters, or logic. What the hell is wrong with Tameem Antoniades? In interviews he seems to have a general understanding of what humans are supposed to sound like when they talk. Does he just get blackout drunk every day at work, or what?
@@trickster721 Considering Drakengard and NieR's creator gets fall-down piss-yourself drunk before he starts writing his games, Tameem must've been on something way stronger than booze if that guy manages to be more coherent than him.
"Hey, where's Dante?" "He's dead." "How did he die?" "I killed him." "Why would you do that?" "Because I was always second best!" "But we gave you power and love!" SUCH GOOD EFFING DIALOGUE!!! I can really feel the humanity here. You know, like that time a family member dies and you're just like "What, why would you kill him?" instead of just getting pissed at the actual murderer who murdered someone you love. Truly the best entry in the series, lol!
Watching the base game playthrough, I can see why people legitimately like this game despite its flaws. Watching the playthrough of the DLC, I now understand why people hate this game despite its good points.
HYPETAUR THE HYPE CACTUAR! That kinda makes it even more insulting. Why would you call back to the first fight with Vergil if you're not even gonna put in an actual fight? It's already shit, by comparison or not, why make the comparison all the more obvious?
I was reading your comment and was reminded of Gilver from the first Devil May Cry novel. (Literally just move the first 3 letters to behind the last 3.)
It's a good point tho. Why is it when Donte has a demon weapon on he don't get hurt by the demons. Same for the "angelic" demons. And why do Demons use the Angel energy? Whhhhhhy?
You could argue that since the demon/angel weapons are just pure energy taking a physical form, they might operate on Pokémon rules, with the weapons doing less damage against enemies of the same origin.
I'll be honest I kinda unironically love how this story is basically a persona 4 dungeon gone HORRIBLY WRONG.

@@millionshots2epic163 The funny thing is that at the end of his fight shadow Vergil says "We're one and the same!" almost as if he's trying to bait Vergil into rejecting him.
If you guys couldn't notice, the final boss of Vergil's Downfall pays homage (Read: Unashamedly rips off) the bastion of quality and originality, BLEACH.
@@MantraMan2077 You mean a desert? I mean, I get the joke, but the concept of a main character fighting an "evil/hollow" version of themselves isn't exclusive to Bleach. Get your head out of the anime-sphere.
@@stripedgillette3580 When the desert is in the afterlife (Or whatever the hell Limbo is), with a a pure white counter part to yourself with yellow eyes and black sclera as your only opponent, who's name is LITERALLY 'Hollow Vergil? You can't really defend theft like that.
Ya know. I liked the idea of Eva being a cool warrior angel. Instead what I got was ANOTHER damsel in distress! Their version is WORSE than the canon one! And we never saw her do anything either!
Supplementary material for the original Devil May Cry seemed to heavily imply that Eva was just as much of an asskicker and Sparda was despite being human. There was even an alternate timeline where she became humanity's champion.
@@Gunzerkingidiot not that I don't like that idea but Sparda sealed all of his power into Force Edge so he was probably above peak human with minor magic and highly skilled with weapons when he met Eva.
Wait, so if the clearly fake Dante had a necklace but the real "muther..." was there, wouldn't she be able to tell that piece of shit was imaginary garbage with no real power whatsoever.
At this point I stopped being amused by the bad writing and just got angry. Imagine being the co-founder of a company, insisting that you have to write everything yourself because you're such a creative genius or whatever, and then being this stupid and lazy about it.
@@ZyroShadowPony yes, which is why i want them to play that instead of DMC 2, and they already mentioned they'll give character action a rest so it'd be a nice palate cleanser
I've heard Dante wasn't very good in Nocturne though cuz you can't fuse him so he can't inherit skills and thus can't have a ridonkulously broken moveset. He's merely 'good'.
@@MarlonMacielBrando It's like a Suffering but lamer, or one of the bigger demons in general. Either way, it's not as good. I actually like Darksiders a lot; the point of the comparison in this case is that a final boss from DmC can't even really match up to a regular enemy from a contemporary title, let alone the franchise it's supposed to be rebooting.
So one really minor thing that keeps getting to me is how Vergil holds the sheath for Yamato. In all the other DMCs, he holds it close to his hips, arm parallel to the body and elbow bent. Even running, he doesn't move his left arm as much as his right. He always keeps Yamato close at hand, ready to draw. In DmC:DMC, except in his idle pose, he's either holding the sheath limply, or he throws it as far away from his body as possible, arm straight out and perpendicular to his body. Even if you don't know a thing about iaido (and I sure don't), you can tell this is a sloppy, clumsy way to hold it. It's a really small detail, but it's enough to give you the sense that DmC:DMC Vergil is a rank amateur with the Yamato and DMC Vergil has unquestionably mastered it.
why is this part not labeled final!? why!? the game is oveeeeeer! this cannot continue thiscannotcontinuethiscannotcontinuethiscannotcontinuethiscannot~
I do not actually know anything about DmC. Is there an actual reason it's not labeled final? (I don't care about spoilers, but others might, so heads-up.)
@@MrPsychojmnf because we need a "Power trip" level that completely fails at being a power trip and makes enemies, even harder and annoying and a reused boss fight with the Vagina face monster that was attacking his mother
This entire playthrough just reaffirms my dislike for this reboot. It's definitely more than "ur just mad bout white hair". Thanks for suffering through it for the rest of us.
They already covered this earlier in the LP - almost everyone defending the reboot bullshit either A) Never played the originals and don't understand what made them great, B) Never played the reboots and have no comprehension of how truly bad they are and just want to stick it to people they think are having an unreasonable reaction to a video game, or C) Don't play video games at all and just thrive on the hate and misery of people's subverted expectations. Basically, the same thing the Star Wars fandom is going through right now.
Saving sparda is one thing, you could argue he was hidden super hard. But your mom is right there, you could save your mom, who died. I know that hell is corrupting Virgil but man a single scene where he's like "I want power for myself now but it originale was because I could not protect you." Then he sends his mom to earth or heaven. Then he can be like I have no more regrets or attachments cue hollow fight. Ps. Pull my devil nuke.
So let me see if I got this straight. Vergil tells the actual spirit of his dead mother he killed his brother to break her heart and server his connection to his apparent humanity or something but the Dante and Kat he killed were just things he made up in his head and therefore are not real. Kind of want to know if Vergil has gone insane and thinks he actually killed Dante and if he did comeback in the sequel how is he going to react to the fact that he just killed a ghost he made up and it was not even close to the real thing. No matter how I look at it Vergil just comes off as incredibly pathetic in this portrayal.
Is this a bleach Reference? I mean, It looks like Hueco Mundo... And he's fighting Hollow Vergil... A Bleach White Version of him with all of his moves and evil.... Just like a certain Strawberry and his Hollow Strawberry...
If you ask the guy that wrote the DLC and more or less designed the fight he will get angry at you and claim he had no idea what Bleach was when he made it, instead he claims it's a reference to the poem that inspired the story of Dantes Inferno, and I mean the game not the Divine comedy.
'Hollow Vergil' 'Desert Hell' 'White with Yellow and Black Eye.' Did they literally rip off Bleach? Yeah I'm just repeating what another commenter said, but seriously did they?
There's an interview out there of a character designer that worked on "Hollow Virgil" he answered no and claimed that the whole thing was supposed to represent Vergin turning into Nelo Vergin.
Man seriously, the Bleach jokes are supposed to be Nero's thing and they had to steal that too. Also they knew we wanted to fight their Donte so we could take our frustrations out on him. They knew and gave us the biggest let down. Those lazy bastards.
Wait a minute. How does Vergil have issues with always being in Dante's shadow and all that when they were split apart at the age of 7 (I think it was?) and each had no memory of the other existing until the events of the main game? Or a bit before the game, in Vergil's case. Am I misremembering that plot point, or is this just stupid?
I feel like this really doesn't really even seem like it's trying to elaborate on what makes Vergil a villain, it's just tossing random negative stuff his way and calling it a downfall. The main story makes him a villain via his desire to control humanity, this suggests that he's jealous of dante and wants to be the strongest, this is just stapling old dmc elements onto a character they weren't meant for.
I wish Vergil wanted to rule the world with his brother Dante. Bing back the nephilim kingdom and try to convince other angels and demos to to be on their side and make more nephilim. But Dante refuses and he doesn't want to rule instead of rather let humanity have their freedom. Vergil is is pissed off at Dante for disrespecting their birthright and this was father's plan after Mundus killed all the nephilim against his orders.
Woolie's murderboner is SO HARD that he's not fine with merely launching enemies off platforms to kill them. He launches them off and then teleports to them so he can kill them in mid-air personally, even though that means falling off the platform himself. Incredible.
I think the biggest problem with this game's combat is that Ninja Theory seems to think the best way to challenge the player is to restrict their options. Like almost every single bad gameplay moment can be traced back to fighting enemies that just don't let you do the thing. Even with the coloured enemy thing toned down, you've still got bullshit like this, where the game's like "No, now you need to play like this, fuck you." It's like they didn't realize that freedom in combat is the main thing that makes DMC gameplay good. I'm glad this game exists, just for the sake of conversation and argument. Like it's a great way to highlight exactly what makes good character action games good, because this game manages to do almost everything the exact wrong way.
I like the way enemies turn off when you don't look at them in Dark Souls. They still do things, they just don't exist, so sometimes they'll ignore the geometry of the level while they're in King Crimson's world.
See, this is the reason we're not getting an LP of 2. It's not cuz the games bad, but because it'd be a whole LP of being frustrated and bored doing the same thing over and over in the same environment over and over, and while that's fun for a short thing like this, it'd get old real fast in a full LP.
Noxy look my guy... you're entitled to your opinion and everything and that's fine, but... why? Really, please explain why you like 2 better than the other games, I'm not even being sarcastic I genuinely want to know.
@@Lisa-pn3fm What i meant is that i prefer dmc2 over the one they just played. I can overlook all the crap in dmc2 thanks to being my first dmc game and my nostalgia lenses but i cant handle the crap of the love story of Vergin and Donte.
First thing I thought of when I saw Hollow Vergil's ingame model was Bleach and Zangetsu. Which I feel like is a insult to Bleach because of how shitty this DLC is.
Vergil himself already has a hole in his chest, from the beginning of the DLC. So all that's needed is the mask. God, the more I think about it the more I get pissed off how shameless it is.
it's not that they never noticed it before, it's that it's done to an extreme in this game their ais don't turn completely off in other games, just this one
The level 2 judgement cut is actually pretty neat because it's thing is that if you use it in melee range you smack the enemy right into the judgement cut. It's a really fun combo ender.
For those wondering, they always did had loud audio queues in the main game, and in the original no, there was still no lock on on this, this is also a DE thing. HOWEVER, in the Downfall of the Virgin the enemies do attack you offscreen, that was the main difference, in the main game they just sorta waited around, but here they'd just shank you no questions asked.
I think I could reconcile the hair/power problem with "Vergil got white hair from devil trigger, and years later learned how to get strong with that under his belt. Dante got strong without the crutch of the devil trigger, and the trigger then only made his already trained power stronger." So Vergil was gifted a power that left him comfortable and is only now pushed to try and get better. Dante had to learn to be that powerful through struggle and determination, and so that extra power was a bonus that pushes him even farther.
Spyro The Dragon also has that "off-screen enemies won't attack" thing going on. You could be standing still right next to an enemy and it won't do anything to you as long as you position the camera so it's not visible. Sometimes it can go a step further and they simply won't attack if Spyro himself isn't *facing* them. It's kinda nuts.
My thoughts watching this: "The fuck? That boss looks like some kind of Hollow Vergil from 'Bleach' or--" *(Name of enemy appears)* "MOTHERFUCKER. HOLLOW VERGIL? ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
VERGIL'S SECOND STRONGEST ATTACK:
*A KICK TO THE CHEST.*
Chest KICKA!
square: sniper rifle triangle:kick select: put on fedora
I thought it was ripping off Bleach with that final boss fight.
The strongest obviously being the sniper shot to the fetus snout
Finishes the last boss with the same kick
2:45 Vergin is essentially a Mortal Kombat player who tries to perform a fatality, but accidentally just hits their enemy.
Usually it's Pat losing his shit, but Woolie laughing gives me life, too
That's literally me when play mortal kombat. I'm terrible at games. The only things I can ever do is pulling some kind of impossible bullshit that I'll never replicate.
Way to go, Crazy Talk. Way to go. You made it worse in retrospect
Well, as we can all see in the final fight, the boot is Vergil's true ultimate weapon.
With pathetic low punch. I hate this Virgin and Donte.

He wanted to take over, simultaneously rule and protect humanity, because he thinks humans are helpless like children. Rather than becoming evil because he feels that Dante betrayed him, make him blinded by his convictions, that he must do the right thing and rule humanity, even if that means becoming stronger than Dante and killing him. This probably would have worked better for the pacing, since it's a short DLC, instead of everyone yelling at Vergil for being a dick and him either not responding or basically just saying "no", they tell him he's evil, and he argues that what he does is for the greater good. This is basically what happened at the end of the main game, Vergil said he wanted to take over, and Dante and Kat were like "what the fuck? No, that's evil", and a fight ensued due to those opposing view points. It would've made more sense if this DLC's story just elaborated on that, but instead Vergil just gets angry and starts yelling "I NEED POWER!"
It's also because the fake Dante and Kat, that are supposed to be in his mind and his perceptions, are not only saying things that the real ones never said, but their doesn't seem to be much foundation for them to say these things. If this game got a sequel, a big part of Vergil's motivation is equivalent to someone saying "I'm mad at you because you were a dick to me in my dream last night". Pat and Woolie already pointed out that Vergil pulled his sword on Dante first, Dante didn't want to fight his brother, he wanted to resolve things, then Kat stopped Dante from going too far and killing Vergil, so there is no reason for him to believe the two of them hate him like they do in this hell mindscape. Like I said, if they just made it that Vergil is stubborn in his decision, and thinks Dante is misguided, then he believes that Dante's foolish way of thinking will jeopardize the entire human race, so he has to become stronger and kill Dante to save and rule the human world.
You're not wrong but I kinda like how this story is like a fucked up Persona 4 dungeon. I already wrote a comment about it so I'll just paste it below: and to be fair Vergil does try to plea his case to Kat until she starts poking at his insecurities and attacking him.
"I'll be honest I kinda unironically love how this story is basically a persona 4 dungeon gone HORRIBLY WRONG.
In P4 a preson is trapped in their dungeon (a manifestation of their faults/repressed feelings) until the party comes to help them accept their shadow (the personification of said faults/feelings) and learn to be a better person.
Except no one comes to help Vergil. He doesn't learn or accept anything and just brute forces his way out. this results in him refusing to admit he's wrong and doubling down super hard into villainy."
@@spartandumpster1158 I honesty think the Imprisoner (is that a word?) did something to the fake Kat considering when Vergil catches up it just drops her and leaves. not sure about Dante though; might have something to do with Vergil's obvious inferiority complex.
You know what would make more sense, is if they chose words and phrases at random out of a dictionary and used that for the script.
@@jakereese1216 I don't see why Tommy's idea wouldn't work better with the concept of a P4 dungeon gone wrong. Fake Donte and Kat could have pointed out flaws and hangups, only for Vergil to deny anything about his outlook needs to change. He encounters a cackling caricature of himself as a tyrant for a "shadow," and kills it through brute force instead (with the scene framing how through doing this, Vergil is acting just as his fake claims he does). Instead of accepting his flaws or growing as a person, the DLC could have ended on an actual Donte fight, where Donte (cognitive or real) offers a truce and Vergil rejects it out of hand. If the scene with his mother is still included, have it be nearer the end, and have Vergil be cold and declarative instead of sadistic.
If they want to give Vergil a Kylo Ren inferiority complex hissy fit somewhere along the way (either him doing it, or a shadow of himself doing it), that'd still work fine.
Tip: Divorce is useful for breaking enemy shields.
Forgetting that Divorce was a move in the game, this was a confusing statement for the first 5 minutes I looked at it.
and breaking families apart :3
literally and Figuratively
I always thought I was pretty tough but [Divorce] certainly broke through my shield....
One thing I like about this DLC is that the apparitions of Dante and Kat haven’t really twisted any of the events that happened. Vergil is just so narcissistic and full of himself that he can’t fathom the idea that he wasn’t doing the right thing.
Also, does Vergil not get to fight the Dreamrunners?!
Vergil: Am i bad for trying to take power after killing Mundus? Nah, it's Dante and Kat who are wrong.
Yeah, that is nice.
Maybe he fights them only in DMD difficulty.
So let's see here
Devil May Cry1:Trish cries after figuring out that Dante cares about her even though she's a Devil
Devil May Cry2:Red head girl cries after finding out she was created by the villian
Devil May Cry3:Dante cries after losing his twin brother to darkness
Devil May Cry4:Nero cries after losing Kyrie to the Saviour
Dmc Devil may cry:Lillith cries after heroes snipe her baby
Theory DMCV: Vergil will cry because he can never live up to DADDY'S POWER!
Star Wolf64 I'm a hardcore vergil fan and i think seeing vergil cry in 5 could be really beautiful if done in a certain light. Actually I think him crying because him realizing he'll never be as powerful as he'd like would be a good reason, and then having to trust Nero to this as he doesnt have long to live
@@tumosa0 not without eating a smack first... cause you know he still cut off his son's arm
Now that it's confirmed Balrog won't get a boss, I'm hoping Vergil will have the gauntlets first.
that last area is just straight out copied from bleach. "Hollow Vergil" doesn't help
2:46 ladies and gentlemen....the greatest fight in the history of Devil May Cry
He defeats Hollow Dante with the exact same technique.

So Vergin kills a figment of his own imagination that somehow gives him DINO's real pendant, or real enough to fool their own mother who gave it to DINO?
or maybe he just imagined her too, who the fuck knows what kind of drugs he's on
Yeah, that way you can have the melodramatic scene you want, and not have to worry about what comes before, or after, or the characters, or logic. What the hell is wrong with Tameem Antoniades? In interviews he seems to have a general understanding of what humans are supposed to sound like when they talk. Does he just get blackout drunk every day at work, or what?
@@trickster721 Considering Drakengard and NieR's creator gets fall-down piss-yourself drunk before he starts writing his games, Tameem must've been on something way stronger than booze if that guy manages to be more coherent than him.
@@gaminggoddess85 Tameem wasn't the primary writer for the DLC, it was a guy who swears that he had no idea what Bleach was when he wrote it.

"Hey, where's Dante?"
"He's dead."
"How did he die?"
"I killed him."
"Why would you do that?"
"Because I was always second best!"
"But we gave you power and love!"
SUCH GOOD EFFING DIALOGUE!!! I can really feel the humanity here. You know, like that time a family member dies and you're just like "What, why would you kill him?" instead of just getting pissed at the actual murderer who murdered someone you love. Truly the best entry in the series, lol!
I am disgusted. the dante kick. is unforgivable
I feel spoiled with slock today between Matt's Inferno, Star Trek quest of the broken gamepad and now the most flaccid DMC fight in history.
Watching the base game playthrough, I can see why people legitimately like this game despite its flaws. Watching the playthrough of the DLC, I now understand why people hate this game despite its good points.
Well.... one the plus side they finally honored the tradition of Dante getting impaled with Rebellion
HYPETAUR THE HYPE CACTUAR!
That kinda makes it even more insulting. Why would you call back to the first fight with Vergil if you're not even gonna put in an actual fight? It's already shit, by comparison or not, why make the comparison all the more obvious?
It's not always Rebellion.
The problem is it kills him here, he needs to just kinda walk it off for it to work.

Dante: Mom says its my turn to play on the XBOX. The new demo is out!
Virgil: 2:46
“Why would Demons be weak to Demon weapons?” I don’t know Pat, why would Humans be weak to Human weapons?
Humans are weak to a lot of things
Why is a demon weak to a sniper rifle?
It's a good point tho. Why is it when Donte has a demon weapon on he don't get hurt by the demons. Same for the "angelic" demons. And why do Demons use the Angel energy? Whhhhhhy?
You could argue that since the demon/angel weapons are just pure energy taking a physical form, they might operate on Pokémon rules, with the weapons doing less damage against enemies of the same origin.
I dunno, why are humans weak to animal weapons?
None of this makes sense
I'll be honest I kinda unironically love how this story is basically a persona 4 dungeon gone HORRIBLY WRONG.

The idea's solid, it's just that Vergil's overall characterization prevents it from being effective.
@@Corrector1 You could say that about the entire game. Good concepts dragged down by faulty execution.
I now have the idea of Vergil rejecting his shadow it turns into a monster and he uses the judgment shot in leu of friendship
@@millionshots2epic163 The funny thing is that at the end of his fight shadow Vergil says "We're one and the same!" almost as if he's trying to bait Vergil into rejecting him.
If you guys couldn't notice, the final boss of Vergil's Downfall pays homage (Read: Unashamedly rips off) the bastion of quality and originality, BLEACH.

Ya know. I liked the idea of Eva being a cool warrior angel. Instead what I got was ANOTHER damsel in distress!
Their version is WORSE than the canon one! And we never saw her do anything either!
Supplementary material for the original Devil May Cry seemed to heavily imply that Eva was just as much of an asskicker and Sparda was despite being human. There was even an alternate timeline where she became humanity's champion.
I head canon Luce and Ombra were Eva's. Cuz why would Sparda use a gun? That part always confused me.
Gunzerking Idiot
If I meant more _STYLE,_ I could definitely see Sparda using guns.
@@Gunzerkingidiot not that I don't like that idea but Sparda sealed all of his power into Force Edge so he was probably above peak human with minor magic and highly skilled with weapons when he met Eva.
There’s a theory that Eva was a witch like bayonetta
Wait, so if the clearly fake Dante had a necklace but the real "muther..." was there, wouldn't she be able to tell that piece of shit was imaginary garbage with no real power whatsoever.
This writing rivals that of movies shut up though.

@@sam007695 ...but old Dante would get laughed out of bars, and there are no whores with guns.

And yet there was some dude in the comments like 2 episodes back complaining that Pat & Woolie are unfair to the game and "Obviously being biased"

@@ZyroShadowPony yes, which is why i want them to play that instead of DMC 2, and they already mentioned they'll give character action a rest so it'd be a nice palate cleanser
I've heard Dante wasn't very good in Nocturne though cuz you can't fuse him so he can't inherit skills and thus can't have a ridonkulously broken moveset. He's merely 'good'.
@@gaminggoddess85 Yeah but I think getting and using him would just be for fanservice anyway.
Every time I have this on in the background, it sounds like a video of someone stirring really wet and gooey oatmeal.

So the climactic boss of DmC: Devil May Cry is a Darksiders enemy?
And then Vergin has to fight his Hollow in order to get his Bankai or something.
Holy shit. He DOES get a Bankai after beating his hollow.
Which Darksiders enemy do you have in mind?
@@MarlonMacielBrando It's like a Suffering but lamer, or one of the bigger demons in general. Either way, it's not as good.
I actually like Darksiders a lot; the point of the comparison in this case is that a final boss from DmC can't even really match up to a regular enemy from a contemporary title, let alone the franchise it's supposed to be rebooting.
So one really minor thing that keeps getting to me is how Vergil holds the sheath for Yamato. In all the other DMCs, he holds it close to his hips, arm parallel to the body and elbow bent. Even running, he doesn't move his left arm as much as his right. He always keeps Yamato close at hand, ready to draw. In DmC:DMC, except in his idle pose, he's either holding the sheath limply, or he throws it as far away from his body as possible, arm straight out and perpendicular to his body. Even if you don't know a thing about iaido (and I sure don't), you can tell this is a sloppy, clumsy way to hold it. It's a really small detail, but it's enough to give you the sense that DmC:DMC Vergil is a rank amateur with the Yamato and DMC Vergil has unquestionably mastered it.
*Motivation.*
Goddammit, at least you could shoot Nelo Angelo when he was in the air using summoned swords 12 whole years before this game
Yeah but Nelo Angelo was a good boss.

They already covered this earlier in the LP - almost everyone defending the reboot bullshit either A) Never played the originals and don't understand what made them great, B) Never played the reboots and have no comprehension of how truly bad they are and just want to stick it to people they think are having an unreasonable reaction to a video game, or C) Don't play video games at all and just thrive on the hate and misery of people's subverted expectations.
Basically, the same thing the Star Wars fandom is going through right now.

Just play the demo, that is staying on my Xbox until March
Devil May Cry 4 is a better accidental shout-out to Bleach than this game's intentional shout-out to Bleach.
How is that even possible.
You can argue the white hair has nothing to do with strength but a symbol of the brothers accepting their demonic nature. Still it's stupid either way
Saving sparda is one thing, you could argue he was hidden super hard. But your mom is right there, you could save your mom, who died. I know that hell is corrupting Virgil but man a single scene where he's like "I want power for myself now but it originale was because I could not protect you." Then he sends his mom to earth or heaven. Then he can be like I have no more regrets or attachments cue hollow fight. Ps. Pull my devil nuke.
2:45 This part killed me
Daquan hayes a grower not a shower 😂
So let me see if I got this straight. Vergil tells the actual spirit of his dead mother he killed his brother to break her heart and server his connection to his apparent humanity or something but the Dante and Kat he killed were just things he made up in his head and therefore are not real. Kind of want to know if Vergil has gone insane and thinks he actually killed Dante and if he did comeback in the sequel how is he going to react to the fact that he just killed a ghost he made up and it was not even close to the real thing. No matter how I look at it Vergil just comes off as incredibly pathetic in this portrayal.
I mean, if he's insane, maybe he'd go "Oh good, I get to kill you a second time, brother."
Is this a bleach Reference? I mean, It looks like Hueco Mundo... And he's fighting Hollow Vergil... A Bleach White Version of him with all of his moves and evil.... Just like a certain Strawberry and his Hollow Strawberry...
If you ask the guy that wrote the DLC and more or less designed the fight he will get angry at you and claim he had no idea what Bleach was when he made it, instead he claims it's a reference to the poem that inspired the story of Dantes Inferno, and I mean the game not the Divine comedy.
'Hollow Vergil'
'Desert Hell'
'White with Yellow and Black Eye.'
Did they literally rip off Bleach?
Yeah I'm just repeating what another commenter said, but seriously did they?
There's an interview out there of a character designer that worked on "Hollow Virgil" he answered no and claimed that the whole thing was supposed to represent Vergin turning into Nelo Vergin.
Not to mention that most of the demons in the game have masks.
Man seriously, the Bleach jokes are supposed to be Nero's thing and they had to steal that too. Also they knew we wanted to fight their Donte so we could take our frustrations out on him. They knew and gave us the biggest let down. Those lazy bastards.

7:30 muuther ...pause for effect... thunder clap
Holy crap Eva's voice acting is just the worst.
Even her animations were bad.
Vergil's in-game model clipping is one thing, but for Eva's one and only 3D scene, it's so bad.
“We gave you power.” What the fuck does that even mean
Ah Hollow Virgin this was my favorite fight in bleach
Wait a minute. How does Vergil have issues with always being in Dante's shadow and all that when they were split apart at the age of 7 (I think it was?) and each had no memory of the other existing until the events of the main game? Or a bit before the game, in Vergil's case. Am I misremembering that plot point, or is this just stupid?
Because Dante beat him, and they still have their childhood memories to draw from.
I feel like this really doesn't really even seem like it's trying to elaborate on what makes Vergil a villain, it's just tossing random negative stuff his way and calling it a downfall. The main story makes him a villain via his desire to control humanity, this suggests that he's jealous of dante and wants to be the strongest, this is just stapling old dmc elements onto a character they weren't meant for.
I wish Vergil wanted to rule the world with his brother Dante. Bing back the nephilim kingdom and try to convince other angels and demos to to be on their side and make more nephilim. But Dante refuses and he doesn't want to rule instead of rather let humanity have their freedom. Vergil is is pissed off at Dante for disrespecting their birthright and this was father's plan after Mundus killed all the nephilim against his orders.
19:55 in a painting where he had a sword and shield
Went from "muther!" to "Mother always liked you best!"
Woolie's murderboner is SO HARD that he's not fine with merely launching enemies off platforms to kill them.
He launches them off and then teleports to them so he can kill them in mid-air personally, even though that means falling off the platform himself.
Incredible.
I think the biggest problem with this game's combat is that Ninja Theory seems to think the best way to challenge the player is to restrict their options.
Like almost every single bad gameplay moment can be traced back to fighting enemies that just don't let you do the thing. Even with the coloured enemy thing toned down, you've still got bullshit like this, where the game's like "No, now you need to play like this, fuck you."
It's like they didn't realize that freedom in combat is the main thing that makes DMC gameplay good.
I'm glad this game exists, just for the sake of conversation and argument. Like it's a great way to highlight exactly what makes good character action games good, because this game manages to do almost everything the exact wrong way.
I like the way enemies turn off when you don't look at them in Dark Souls. They still do things, they just don't exist, so sometimes they'll ignore the geometry of the level while they're in King Crimson's world.

Which I feel like is a insult to Bleach because of how shitty this DLC is.
lmao in that case hollow vergil shouldve hole in his chest and a mask
Vergil himself already has a hole in his chest, from the beginning of the DLC.

You want to let it really sink in? Let it play until 03:24 and then *watch that fire animation at the bottom background.* Bespoke.
For those wondering, they always did had loud audio queues in the main game, and in the original no, there was still no lock on on this, this is also a DE thing. HOWEVER, in the Downfall of the Virgin the enemies do attack you offscreen, that was the main difference, in the main game they just sorta waited around, but here they'd just shank you no questions asked.
I think I could reconcile the hair/power problem with "Vergil got white hair from devil trigger, and years later learned how to get strong with that under his belt. Dante got strong without the crutch of the devil trigger, and the trigger then only made his already trained power stronger." So Vergil was gifted a power that left him comfortable and is only now pushed to try and get better. Dante had to learn to be that powerful through struggle and determination, and so that extra power was a bonus that pushes him even farther.
Spyro The Dragon also has that "off-screen enemies won't attack" thing going on. You could be standing still right next to an enemy and it won't do anything to you as long as you position the camera so it's not visible. Sometimes it can go a step further and they simply won't attack if Spyro himself isn't *facing* them. It's kinda nuts.
My thoughts watching this:
"The fuck? That boss looks like some kind of Hollow Vergil from 'Bleach' or--"
*(Name of enemy appears)*
"MOTHERFUCKER. HOLLOW VERGIL? ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
They couldn't even bother to be subtle about it.
2:40 The ONLY thing they could have done right and its a mindbogglingly flaccid failure
