    My major issue with the game then and now is characterization more than story writing. Vergil felt like outright character assassination when Vergil shot a pregnant woman/demon. I also felt disappointed they went the rival route. The twins as allies was a fun change and I was sad it was tossed out last minute for a Vergil fight.

    I think the reason why the will skull/locket are strong is intentional. Shovel knight is supposed to be a modernized version of mega man that is meant to be more approachable to new players. About the mobile gear, you don't get it until fairly late in the game, and it doesn't trivialize some platforming challenges such as those involving wide chasms without a lot of ground. Designing a game really is a balancing act. You can't please everyone which is why some features (i.e., easier difficulty) are favored over the enjoyment of a much smaller number of players. This is why games like the Kirby series are very popular, because Kirby is a platformer without platforming (cuz you can fly indefinitely).

    I loved the DMC reboot, even at the time it was released. It's a misunderstood game.. and I've played this series since the first game was released at the time. The entire point was to do a radically different take on Devil May Cry series, otherwise it would just be Ninja Theory trying to copy Capcom which would have been boring. The game had a lot of creative ideas and I enjoyed playing through it. The action is nice and crunchy, probably their best when compared to Heavenly Sword and Enslaved.

    DMC2 is no longer canon since it ends with dante going to hell to fight demons DMC5 does it much better. Reason why people like DMC2 over DmC:Devil May Cry. Is because while DMC2 was just a bad entry, the idiotic name reboot was an active effort to ruin the IP entirely. I also assume DMC 3 was a prequel because of how DMC 2 ended and not because Hideaki thought Dante needed an origin. It was going to be difficult to make a sequel for DMC2 since it ignored all the cool things from DMC1 and ended with dante going to hell. So prequel that allowed the use of Vergil and all the cool plot elements from the first game was an easier choice. Now later down the lane Hideaki has effectively erased DMC2 from the timeline dante isnt in hell and Vergil is back by DMC 5.

And criticize them from that angle, not because of the ACTUAL fallacy of "oH it'S a reBooT thEreFoRe bAd boohoo" argument, and ruin the fun and narrative for everyone else. Also Capcom has NEVER effectively erased DMC 2. They still actually reference Lucia and Dumary Island. They even reference the supposedly non-canon novels and MADE them canon!

    Ironic part about this game is that he actually made tons of things before the original: - corrupted vergil during story mode, cause in originals we got him only with DMC5 and not just as an alternative costume; - Dante's past, his house, flashbacks. Again, the OG shown with 5. People can dislike characters, but in this reboot they have to admit that character development was a thing: - Dante matures A LOT. He starts doesn't giving importance to people but in the end becomes the Guardian of humanity, and quarrels tons of time with vergil about freedome. And that's thanks to Kat! This was a thing only in DMC3 and a little with 1, but 2-4 were considered crap in character development even by fans. 5 was weird and changed vergil behavior and transformed him in vegeta. People should give the right credit to the reboot

    The thing that breaks DmC's story for me, is the addition of angels to both the lore of the franchise, and the twin's identities. It disconnects them for the ideas of humanity the original series and this game (To an extend) had going for. That's why the original characters feel more human in comparison. They entire mainline series is about characters responding to trauma in different ways, some good, others bad, and that stems from their human legacy and heritage, that grounds them and their emotions into this world. DmC Dante and Vergil lack this, and instead they simply are another example of the "Chosen one" trope done badly.

    • @susietoo2620
      @susietoo2620 6 днів тому

      You only get that after having 5 corny written games. Even after DMC 2's nonexistent writing DMC was given a chance. DmC only had ONE shot. And what do you mean there's no humanity in DmC? Reboot Dante gives the BEST CREDIT towards Kat and reacts appropriately in horror or empathy when things are not going well. The Dante from the classic series would probably just drop a "cool" one-liner and say, "Well look at all the mess you made, oh I have to clean this up" after a demon massacres a huge population of humans🙄

      @@susietoo2620 Mainline Dante literally has shown moments of weakness and vulnerability throughout the series. Crying after losing Vergil in DMC3, exploding out of anger in DMC1 after Trish's betrayal and death at the hands of Mundus, showing anger at the idea of Vergil resurrecting once again in DMC5. Mainline Dante always knew how to balance serious moments with the series' known cool factor. DmC attempts at creating a more "Human" version of Dante that ends up failing the moment they decide to turn him into a half angel and makes the entire thesis of the game about Dante figuring out his humanity. Mainline DMC's writing might have corny lines and moments, but it also had soul and care put into its narrative.

      @@Lesem_Bert To think that someone suddenly doesn't have human genetics is equated to not having any humanity at all, is the most fallacious and hypocritical thing to ever say. Look at ALL the countless fictional characters that aren't human at all! I bet you love some of them, too. Clark Kent aka Superman isn't human! But compared to Bruce Wayne in certain aspects, both Clark and reboot Dante have seen and experienced human suffering, more so than Wayne because he's absurdly rich and has a complicated issue...anyway Batman y'all In reboot Dante's case he's from the lowest class in the social order of things. He's poor, abused and isolated. Yet at the smallest ounce of sympathy and understanding, he actually rose to the occasion to be a much better person. And befriended Kat, who he credits and defends against Vergil. There's more to the DmC game that unfortunately because of backlash, it's best assumed Ninja Theory knew they've done what they can and can't continue anymore. The story was built for a sequel hook BUT they definitely didn't have anymore time. The collaboration was over. The entire story they could've polished was never given another chance. Guess who's fault was that.. Oh well you have retconned DMC 5 with flat characters and a shonen copy-paste hot boy for a lead. That's nice for Rule 34 viewing. I mean the fifth one is okay I guess 👍

    I found the level design, freedom and variety of movement, visual presentation and OST to be much better in DmC. Yes, there were already 4 games that laid down the ground rules for what the series is and isn't about, but I found the deviation refreshingly re-playable and fun. Something about controling Dante in DmC feels much more entertaining than the somewhat wooden movements you're being presented in say, DMC4. And then there is "Hey Bob, put a spin on this!".

      Soulstice from late 2022 has some controls/gameplay inspirations from DmC. it's got some rough spots but a lot to offer for both gameplay and story. Good for replaying as well. Can recommend it.

      This is the problem I have with you DmC fans. You just lazily say shit about the original, and usually talking down about it. You don’t even try to be fair, but then cry about your fave game being made fun of. DMC4 is anything but wooden. To claim that is just utter stupidity. It is smooth as hell. You just don’t understand how to actually play DMC at all. You get locked into animations, and have only so much control. Yet by learning the inner workings of the game, and playing skillfully. You get a feeling of freedom that is earned. You are rewarded with great gameplay, and satisfaction. As well as extremely stylish gameplay, that isn’t some two push button win system( talking the crappy design in kh2-3). Now DmC isn’t as bad as KH, but it is still pretty shallow overall.

    Agree with everything you said in the video except when at 47:00 you say that its the peak of western character action games. That crown belongs to God of War 3 imo. Which btw you should absolutely try and maybe make a few videos on since the God of War series like the DMC series has gone through quite a bit of change and reinvention through the years.Would make for interesting videos I bet :)

      Soulstice and the Darksiders games (mainly 2) are solid ones too! As is The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile.

    it highkey needs a remake, the graphics are kinda bad especially for the hd collection and half the enemies are either stupid to deal with or repetitive

    Hot Take: DMC Reboot has a better soundtrack than DMC 5.

    36:28 - 36:57 While you are entitled to your opinion, I disagree with you on the "color coated enemies". I'm just gonna say this. Aside from the sword weapon and Ifrit, I hated every single close range weapon in the canon DMC games. I don't know why. I just can't get use to them compared to the sword weapon. However, the "color coated enemies" helps to practice with certain weapons. The blue enemies with angel weapons and red enemies with the demon weapons. To me, this is good practice on each type of weapon and to focus on using one weapon, to get to know how to use it and what combos you can practice. It made me love the Arbiter and Osiris weapons even more. That's why I loved the gameplay in this game more than I like the others.

    IMO, Ninja Theory's DmC was a necessary evil. I'm just gonna say this but I found DMC4 to be annoying. DOn't get me wrong. It's a fun game but you could tell that Capcom and the game director, Hideaki Itsuno had problems with the game. They obviously couldn't think of a new story and went with the "Dante is a bad guy" scenario. I didn't even believe that and I bet you didn't either. And Capcom wanted to rush DMC4 out and told the director to just make Dante play Nero missions backwards to save time. The director obviously hated that Capcom took control and he had new level plans with Dante but couldn't do it. And that's why he, as supervising director, went with Ninja Theory to make DmC and had the creative power. But of course, the negativity came, and Capcom had to go back to Itsuno, who planned to do DmC2, said do DMC5 instead and let him do whatever he wants.

    8:10 "She tried to steal the dagger from me, RIGHT AFTER I saved her life! I should just leave her behind, abandoned at her luck's mercy. Yet here I am - risking MY life for HER sake. 'Why', you ask? That's a good question." - The Prince. That monologue has lived rent-free in my head for 16 years and plays everytime, I'm reminded of Sands of Time™ 👌

    I am of the camp that DmC is a fairly solid game as its own thing, but bad as a DMC game. Change the title, change the name, you have an above average hack-and-slash. The story has some... oddities, but the gameplay would have been enough for this game to stand above at least Heavenly Sword. I actually thought the 2010 version of DmC would have been a super interesting take on the series and i was open to it, even though i didnt like that it was pushed as a reboot. At the very end, Dante still seemed to show the cockiness that we liked about Dante. There is something about the human world having a really ugly side is appealing to me and DMC leaves the ugliness in isolated incidents. But i have to disagree so much that the behavior of Tameem and his Capcom side piece don't make the game worse. Even if you are not put off by their needless dickishness directed at fans, the context of how they looked down on the franchise and fans puts an air of maliciousness about the game. "Not in a million years" bit comes off more like "stuff old fans like is gone and they can fuck off" instead of a cheeky joke/reference. Design and story changes come off as "DMC was lame Japanesey shit but we made into real art," instead of just being a different take on the series. And these are not conclusions i made up in my head. Tameem does feel that Japanese media has an inherent uncoolness (based on what he said about Bayonetta being "too japanesey.") He claimed that they were trying to elevate DMC's story to be worthy of cinema/literature. Also, Capcom pushing for DmC to be different doesnt absolve Tameem of his behavior. Being douchebags was a joint business venture.
