The original Devil May Cry left a monumental impact on the entire action game genre. Even if you aren’t a massive fan of Dante’s first outing, you’d be hardpressed to find any game that had the same look and feel, especially back in 2001. It was an action game where the main goal wasn’t to just clear out rooms of enemies, but instead, you were encouraged to look as cool as possible while doing so. This was facilitated through the in-game ranking system since you were rewarded currency to upgrade your character depending on the end-stage rank. This incentive helped encourage players to really master the game’s mechanics and to find creative ways to go to town on the enemies. While there were some cracks in the execution, Devil May Cry 1 had a solid foundation that was ripe to be expanded upon in a sequel. However, Devil May Cry 2 wasn’t exactly that sequel. It’s no secret that DMC 2 isn’t well-liked by the player base. Attacks were sluggish and lacked any impact. Dante was drained of all of the charisma that made him memorable. The weapon selection is laughable. And overall, the game is just painfully dull and isn’t something that I want to play again anytime soon. I’m pretty sure this is stuff you’re all already aware of, so why did I bring this up? The answer is quite simple.
Devil May Cry 3 - 17 Years Later
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is a 2005 action-adventure game developed and published by Capcom. The game is a prequel to the original Devil May Cry, featuring a younger Dante. Set a decade before the events of the first Devil May Cry in an enchanted tower, Temen-ni-gru, the story centers on the dysfunctional relationship between Dante and his brother Vergil. The game introduces combat mechanics with an emphasis on combos and fast-paced action. The story is told primarily in cutscenes using the game's engine, with several pre-rendered full motion videos.
Devil May Cry 3 was released in February and March 2005 for the PlayStation 2 and ported to Microsoft Windows in June and October 2006. It was widely praised by critics, hailing it as a return to form for the series, yet did receive some criticisms for its high level of difficulty in the North American release. It was re‐released in 2006 as Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, featuring retooled difficulty levels, the addition of mid-mission checkpoints, "GOLD mode", and Vergil as a playable character. Combined sales of both versions were over 2.3 million. It has been cited as one of the greatest video games of all time.
A 2005 manga prequel to Devil May Cry 3's storyline was published in Japan and later the United States.

Hey Nam, if Dante had potatoes it would be Devil May Fry
Man, Capcom loved skipping numbers during this time. They skipped from MegamanX6 to X8 just like how they skipped from DMC1 to DMC3.
They skipped out on giving DMC2 good quality, to be specific
Only real gamers play dmc2
I think they skipped from x3 to x8 actually
@@unbreakableroad9294 they skipped from X2 to X4 and from X5 to X8.
@@Pussyrepelent I think they just made x and x2 I think they believed it would be a bad idea to make any more
About this games story, I think DMC3 is the perfect video game story narrative. The cutscenes were always able to get to the point without too much fluff. They followed the "Show, don't tell" aspect of story design. I love it.
It was CUHHHHHHHHHHHRAZY
It's actually perfect. Perfect content, Perfect pacing and perfect resolution
The game is an absolute masterpiece with no flaws, from the good wacky story to the batshit insane gameplay It just clicks, this game is perfect.
@@haz.5464 some of the enemies are bullshit or annoying to fight tho
@@theweedeater1842 True, lol, if they kept to the simple enemies instead of a STATUE, or That thing that you need to hit from behind i would've loved it even more
The coolest hidden detail in this game is you can unlock Nelo Angelo’s moveset by completing Vergil Must Die mode.
Or the cheat code to unlock everything.
@@artistanthony1007 there's a cheat?
@@artistanthony1007 I think you unlock corrupt Vergil by beating the game on Hard or finishing the Bloody Palace. If you beat VMD, you get super corrupt Vergil that never runs out of DT.
@@AmazingOwnage or your like me and download a save because ive replayed this game alot but didnt want to regrind for everything cause its the old pc port i play on
There's also a few more details to note with the gameplay:
- In DT, there are passive abilities for each weapon
- Rebellion has a glide by holding down the lock-on and jump button while midair.
- Cerberus increases movement speed, nailing it down as the fastest of all of the weapons.
- Agni & Rudra has increased elemental damage.
- Nevan allows you to heal more quickly (not while Super though)
- Beowulf increases defense and causes less knockback
- Each weapon (except Rebellion) does have a degree of elemental damage. Ex. Agni & Rudra vs Cerberus Boss, Cerberus vs spider enemies, Beowulf vs Doppelganger Boss, etc.
Also,the DT form's default transformation has a hitbox if you do it during an attack,making the move you do do more damage,and if you do an attack,have it interrupted but trade damage,and pop DT during it,there is a bug(or maybe a feature) where it will buff said attack by 3 and leave it going even though Dante takes damage
spiders are actually affected by agni & rudra. Cerberus is useful against those red and white guys at the end of the game
Guys! Don't forget about "DT Explosion" ;-)
It's a VERY powerful move!
I still have no clue whether or not any enemy is weak to Nevan.
The style meter is great and all but for my money the most enjoyable part is using beowulf in order to repeatedly stomp an enemy to death. Jump cancel stomp is ironically the highest dps possible. With all that in mind I'd like to say that dmc3 is my favorite super mario brothers game.
How is your comment a day old when this came out 30 seconds ago
@@TanmanGames Patrons get early access to videos. Check out Nam's Community tab for more details about that.
Morifarty
jump cancel agni and rudra against nevan is something else
I'd argue DT distortion gets higher output, but in terms of speed, I see what you mean.
I know alot of people say Vergil 2 or 3 is the best in this game, but despite not having played this game till a few years ago, I always felt the first Vergil fight was always the best. You go through the tower to get to him, and you just get amazed at how calm he is as he deflects your bullets and asks where your motivation is, lol
I'd say vergil 2 is my favorite due to beowulf and the banger theme. Maybe because I played the hell out of 5, but I actually found Vergil 1 fairly easy. Vergil 2 is around my level, and Vergil 3 is still too much for me to complete in 1 attempt.
@@insertnamehere658 hi
I feel like fight 2 is easier than one but 2 has the best theme. And 3 has the best fight. 1 just has the convenience of being the first time you fight him. Which is nothing to complain about, especially with the scene that follows.
Vergil's 2nd encounter (Beowulf Gauntlets) is super fun
true ^^
Fun Fact: in DMC3 there's a secret hidden gameplay when using Doppelganger u can do 2 player coop mode , the way it works is u have to get 2 controllers , but if u got the Infinite Sparda costume which gives u Infinite Devil Tigger making the use of QuickSilver and Doppelganger a lot easy so doesn't waste Devil ords , using Dante's other costume that has Infinite Devil Trigger will not work .
U can do 2 player coop story mode on PS2, Xbox360 , Ps4, XB1 , pc , and nentendo switch too . that's if u got Doppelganger and Infinite Sparda costume also 2 controllers .
does it work on freestyle mode in the switch?
you can also play as Vergil when he joins Dante in the Arkham boss fight.
@@cajs9964 oh yeah that too , i wish in a future DMC games they should do 2 player coop just for fun online/ offline or both y not :) .
Y yes it should work if u have 4 controllers on or 2 Pro Controllers , there was capcom podcast dev team they were talking and playing DMC3 on switch and the devs wanted to keep the secret 2 player coop doppelganger in it to have old fans happy cuz y not , it's still a fun feature in the game :) .
The Bloody Palace 1 is different too on Switch which they do let u pick do solo or 2 player coop offline of course , player 1 is Dante and player 2 is Vergil , how it works is 2 players sharing a single screen if u have a big wide tv that works too .
i'm sure that's all of that on nentendo switch version .
I KNEW IT I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY.
Devil May Cry 3 is the most important game in my life, gosh it got me through an awful period of my life I lost my brother that year too it was the last game I played with him so the game is very dear to my heart, you have done a phenomenal job putting this vid/doco together, so a very big thankyou from me, love what you've done, hope you have a great day/night n keep safe n well until the next time
My condolences 🙏🏾❤️
@@noelgarcia5525 thankyou for your kind words, that means alot
Sorry 4 ur loss but am glad Dante helped get u through it
@@yeetthesenutz5212 thankyou for your kind words, yeah Dante did help me through it, the whole Virgil wanting to be more powerful and Dante not wanting a bar of it, that hit too close to home for me, yep Devil May Cry 1 and 3 are very meaningful to me
For the worm thingies in Arkham's boss fight, I mainly jump around to avoid getting hit before using the Rocket launcher on the group. It clears a lot of Them really fast.
it isn’t stylish, but it works well.
yeah what i did since i mained trickster is i jumped twice, used the 2 aerial dashes, then shot once with the rocket launcher and repeated
I just use nevan's explosion attack, they all just instantly disappear
Mission 20 is still the best sword fight between two man in the history of video games. I still play it to this day.
I mean, I have seen more...thematic fights.
Like DMC5 Dante vs Vergil or Raiden vs Sam.
@@ratt__mann9220
Still can't beat it. Especially DMC5. Dante and Vergil aren't themselves there and the fight isn't as fast. Also too much childish taunts.
@@ps4games164 childish taunts? Do you remember which game you are playing.
I'm DMC5 they are more mature and grown, knowing they will kill eachother this time. Instead of just continuing a childish dispute.
And Raiden vs Sam is far more interesting to me personally, Sam is Raiden if he lost and went down a bad path. Essentially a mental roadblock to overcome.
@@ratt__mann9220 They were going for the kill the first time, so what are you on about?! DMC 3 has a much more serious tone in the final fight then it does in 5. 3 still wins hands down.
Isshin is Better
17 years later and still one of the best games ever made, and probably always will be
The best part about doppelganger was using infinite devil trigger and playing two player.
I never see anyone else talking about this! Me and a friend used to do it all the time, running around as a shadow and getting lost off screen.
And also playing with a buddy in the arkham fight, surprisingly you can control vergil with another controller lol
Her name is Lady.
She made that VERY clear in the game the ONLY time the other name is mentioned.
Quicksilver also gives you I-Frames on activation for like 1.5 seconds, Which makes it useful for avoiding getting hit by an attack when you're stuck in an animation. You can also completely avoid the bomb enemy's explosion if you time it right.
I’ll tell you that using the rocket launcher and waiting a little for those ghost dolphin things in the Arkham fight clears them out pretty easily most of the time. But the downside is that you have to use gunslinger for the in air shot if I remember correctly to take them all out at once when they do their massive all out dive attack
Yep, Kallina Ann at point blank range is the best against Arkham's tentacles. Even when Vergil joins it is that weapon that carries the fight.
Came to comment on this. Glad someone else knew to point this out. Kalina Ann, even at base fire, clears these out easily
I jsut beat the game and thats how i killed those things.
I wanted to check out the Devil May Cry series because my best friend really likes it, so he showed me 3 first since it's the earliest in the timeline, and that was definitely the right move. I love the look and the interactions between Dante and Vergil in this game, the story is really interesting, and Lady is one of the most badass women in any game I've ever seen. If you want to get someone into Devil May Cry, tell them to start with 3.
Absolutely. 3/SE is the only game among the PS2 titles that holds up really well gameplay wise. And frankly, I don't think the game will ever age badly. They really got the style system and combat speed just right. And it works nicely as an introduction to the DMC universe since it's a prequel. DMC1 is a bit dated and didn't quite nail the gameplay like 3 did but it's still worth playing.
2 is completely skippable and aged the worst but in my honest opinion it's not a bad game on its own. You could pick worse hack and slash games from the PS2 era. It's a bad DMC title sure, but not a bad game on its own. Same goes for the Ninja Theory reboot. Solid game on its own but a bad DMC title. I know it's sacrilege among the fanbase to throw any praise towards DmC but it did a couple of things right. These titles are worth checking out at least once IMO but you can choose to skip em' and read the summary for 2. It doesn't hold much plot relevance for the series so far but it's worth knowing where it stands in the timeline.
DMC3, 4 and 5 are fantastic games and some of the best the hack and slash genre has to offer.
@@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams Yeah, I finished DMC 1-5 a few years ago. 2 was definitely the least memorable of the bunch, but I'll still take it over what I heard about the reboot (which I have no intention of checking out).
@@LeahLovesNature Definitely the right move. You really don't want to see el Donte el exterminador de demonios or abortion gun Virgin.
@@LeahLovesNature I hear that gameplay-wise, the reboot is more enjoyable than DMC2. The updated version of the reboot at least.
@@ultraspinalki11 Maybe, but I value story in games more than I value game-play, especially since I usually experience video games by watching them on RUclips instead of playing them myself (mostly because I don't have the time or money for all the games and consoles that interest me).
Ah yes, my first game that I purchased alongside a used PS2 at GameStop.
Unfortunately, I never bought a memory card so whenever I made it past Cerberus (after failing time after time) I'd always have to do it again every time I picked up the game.
Although somewhat biased, DMC3 will always be my favorite in the series.
If DMC3 had style switch mid combat like DMC4, it would be perfect.
it has, on the switch port.
So it's perfect..?
And more movesets of Vergil like judgement cut storm and blue barrier
Lack of style switch was the biggest flaw of the game.
@@ps4games164 and also shitty enemies
To this day I still wonder why a lot of the new features for Devil May Cry 3 are exclusive to the Switch
Maybe they had more practice after DMC5?
10:50 I mean, Reuben was the voice director of the game and was heavily involved with the story so of course he nailed it
Nothing beats a SSS on DMD on dmc3
Love this game
Would you care to share a bit why that is? Genuine question because I only recently played DMC 3 for the first time but I have no intention to play it on DMD for now (or ever, I played DMC5 on DMD a few months ago and that's enough for me for now).
@@malafakka8530 well, enemies have more hp and that makes the combos being longer possible
@@dxrbkn5145 okay, I thought that there might have been more to it.
Funny thing about the bloodgoyles, there's a limit on how many times they can split, so you can totally kill them without firing your guns even once, it'll just take a while.
DMC 3 will be amazing, whether another video is done 17 years later or a hundred years later. Music, gameplay, voice acting, pacing, difficulty........wrapped up in a bloody, stylish package and nails the air hike landing perfectly.
Kids these days have to contend with half complete buggy games filled with microtransactions, drip fed content via live service "seasons", and empty apologies via community updates when devs screw up (which is the norm now days)
Not saying the era of DMC 3 video game development was perfect (oh god no HELL NO) but we got to grow up with some of the best games ever released (which DMC 3 is part of imo). I'll wear my nostalgia glasses proudly on this one.
Fax, fax, and fax
I'd like to correct you on one part:
Vergil joining you to fight Arkham ist the *best* part of the game, because if you connect a second controller during that phase, you can play couch coop with the second player getting to play as Vergil. That's badass and no one is gonna convince me otherwise.
From Foxcade, having Summon Swords on one of the shoulder button makes Vergil extremely broken and feels more natural than having it on the default shoot button
was just rewathing the dmc1 video and boom just in time you come out with this
I will say there is a mod that gives you all the stuff from the switch version and then some (being able to switch your entire character on the fly which is just insane, but if youre at that level, more power to ya) so personally i'd recommend just picking it up on pc and getting that mod
(Just in regards to his recommendation to pick it up on switch)
i remember playing this for the first time on ps2 and i thought the opening scene was the coolest thing ever happened in a video game
I do not lie when I say I just watched your previous dmc video a few days ago. this makes me happy
The first time I played this game I was 11 or 12 years old. I saw the Special Edition version of the game for PS2 on a store shelf and I begged my dad to get it for me, just because the cover of it was so cool. I barely managed to play through the whole thing on Normal after many, many deaths, but no matter how much I was getting my ass kicked, I wanted to beat it. It was just too damn fun to give up on. When I did eventually beat it I felt like a god lol, still the most gratifying feeling I've ever had after beating a game. Definitely one of my favorite games ever. Great video
Great video!
And about the tentacle slugs on the Arkham boss fight, I’ve found that the Kalina Ann is the best weapon against them. It only takes one shot to take them out and you might take more than one out with an explosion.
This was a fantastic analysis, but oh my goodness the whiplash I felt when you referred to Lady as Mary the whole way through.
Oh I cannot WAIT for you to cover DMC: Devil May Cry
Love the video. One tip for the Arkham fight, I find spamming Kalina Ann at the small demon fishes eliminates them in large numbers. Not great for style points but very helpful for sanity rankings. Also the Switch version of DMC3 includes co-op Bloody Palace which is insanely fun, although very strange in boss battles because it switches from a camera that zooms in and out to show both players to split screen cameras. Probably something about how they couldn't get the camera to work the same way in multiple arenas.
This was a good as nostalgic video. Great job!
it still holds up
5:04 The PC version through Steam with mods actually has almost all of the new content introduced on Switch through DDMK, and mods also fix some minor graphical issues(most noticeably, Dante’s hair transparency was broken with the redrawn texture used for it)
I'm writing an essay on dmc and this really helps
Fun fact
Vergil has gimmick that you can abuse, which is that he can use his projectile and physical attacks at the same time. Try it, its a whole different experience.
You forgot to mention doppelganger allows 2 players, you also forgot to mention the boss battle where vergil jumps in is also 2 players
Agni & Rudra were my EVERYTHING
The spinning attack on Cerberus is really good for stun locking multiple enemies
One thing to mention with doppelganger is that it allows for multiplayer. If you have two controllers active you can press I think start button, and it allows another person to control the shadow.
It's not a Shadow, it's more of a 3D Mirage of Dante's Devil Trigger or Doppelganger, heck the move is called Afterimage so it's considered that.
btw dmc 1 had on the go weapon swithcing, hold right stick down and ya switch on the fly. awesome vid!
Years later I still play this regularly on the switch
Playing as Nelo Angelo using corrupt Vergil was awesome. I think I’ve enjoyed this DMC the most out of all six. But I agree with all the negatives you mentioned. Getting the platinum for this game was a battle of attrition. I had to use Super Dante and cheeses my way through Arkham with Large Vitality stars on DMD. Mad respect for all the players that beat the game on DMD with no healing items and all SS ranks.
The best part about the Arkham fight was having my sister plug in a second controller and use vergil
this is one of my all time favorite games, it's simply amazing. I always recommend this one to every single human being, it's such a journey and works as an standalone great.
This game and God of War INVENTED the very foundations of what a turbulent adrenaline rush Hack and Slash **is** .. This has to be the greatest HnS ever made. Although God of War 2 or 3 is very close to my heart
fun fact about the doppelganger style, if someone plugs in a separate controller and hits start, they can play as the shadow for as long as it's up!
Regarding Arkham, the best method dealing with those spawnlings is to use Kalina Ann.
Although I still love this game very much, I have been playing it recently, and I must say the camera is my one gripe with this game. It's not quite as bad as the camera in 1 since it is dynamic rather than fixed, but there are still a good plenty of scenarios where the camera shifting takes a big shit on your line of sight from your enemies. Just take the Agni and Rudra fight for example.
28:50 Oh you right, when I played the game I actually breezed thought the boss in a copple of hours. Meanwhile, I bought Special edition eventually I borrowed my DMC3 copy to a friend, when I went to get it back, he told me he never managed beat Cerberus. And for some reason I tryd his save data and I also couldn't beat it, toke us a few hours till I finally manage it... I don't understand what went wrong there, like I was plying DANTE MUST DIE at that point in my other copy... lol. But you might be right, the limitations of "starting out" are huge when you are forced to face a boss like that.
When I played dmc 3, I learned you can replay missions as soon as you beat them the first time. To level up the styles I just kept replaying like the first 2 or 3 missions over and over again. I think it took me like 5 mission repeats to level them up to 2 and another 10 to completely level them up? I don't remember though. I also farmed red orbs this way as well. I focused on the gunslinger and swordmaster styles due to how much they can affect a playstyle.
17 years later,still the peak of gaming,and the most video game to ever video game. Absolutely love this game,it was even the one that got me into playing video games to begin with lol
Working strategy for the fish things in Arkham’s fight is just lock on + Kalina Ann, haven’t tried on difficulties above normal though
te best way to deal with arkham minions is to use the bazooka
to deal with the nubby slugs,
I remember spamming rocket launcher at them which does a lot of AOE damage
12:45 Dante plays with his foes while Vergil doesn't
I played DMC 3 for the first time a couple of months ago and it’s become my favorite action game, so I’d say it holds up
Quick nitpick, Dante's High Roller is just High Time.
This isn't the first DMC3 analysis video I've seen but the story is just that good that I don't really tire of hearing about it.
One, more like two, points I don't seem addressed to often is how DMC3 is the only DMC that incorporates elemental damage and weapon type damage like the chess pieces being weak to Beowulf/Cerberus because they're blunt.
I was today years old when I learned about that. Woah.
Ive been replaying and just noticed the elemental damage! Like the spiders getting caught on fire. Very interesting!
While this may of disappeared in DMC it does get expanded upon in Dragon's Dogma actually, which I find interesting.
Elemental damage was already present in DMC1
Great look over DMC3. Certainly one I had a lot of fun with, even if I played 1 enough prior to really trying 3 to kind of prefer 1. Side note: my personal favorite weapon pairing is Cerberus with Agni & Rudra.
Would still very much like a video on DMC2 at some point. There’s a ton to discuss around that train wreck. I feel the “Dante lacking his charm” thing you mentioned is worth noting, as, while maybe dumbed down, it wasn’t Dante, but the world around him that lacked that charm. Kinda like Shadow the Hedgehog: I think Shadow himself kind of pulled off the edge his game was going for, but the game around him really didn’t.
A strategy that worked for me on killing the tentacle things is running back abit and firing kalina ann at them, for the most part it worked on taking most of them out
31:52 The best I could do is spam Kalinga Ann. It is pretty effective. Though I'm sure there are better strategies.
Nah man that's the only strategy
That's what I did. Fire a rocket, roll, fire, roll. Those dolphin/slug things will go down in seconds.
I remember the doppelganger style let you play 2 player. No idea why that was a thing but it was fun
Use the Kalinna Ann against the eels. Works wonders, just shoot, roll, shoot, roll, etc.
I’ve watched 20 of these videos Same topic and I always learn something new about Dmc
Not sure if a lot of people have said this or know this, but you can actually control doppelganger with p2 controller on PS2. (This also works with Vergil in the boss battle against 'Sparta'.)
That means it's not useless. It's co-op.
For the weird leeches in Arkham's fight you should just use the Kalina Ann while they group up and it will blast most of them in one hit.
I don't know if you'll see this, byt fir arkham's worm things, use kalina ann when they start swirling. It takes care of most, if not all of them.
DMC3 is a fantastic game and to this day still holds up pretty well. I got into the series only a few years ago, after 5's release. I bought the HD collection, enjoyed 1 for what it was but it definitely aged the worst out of all the other games, 2 was....an experience to say the least, and then I played 3. 3 was what truly got me hooked into the series, it's such a massive glowup from the first two games that it's unreal. And now Devil May Cry has become one of my favorite video game franchises of all time.
My proudest achievement so far in the entire franchise is managing to S rank mission 20 for my first playthrough. I chose Yellow instead of Gold mode at the start not knowing the difference, which meant Gold Orbs were a lot weaker than in Gold mode for my entire playthrough. So I just ended up restarting the mission from the start every time I failed, and since mission 20 is just the fight against Vergil it's not like there was any lost progress. After about an hour of attempts I got so good at the final Vergil fight that when I finally beat him, I got an S rank, my first ever in the game. Gonna get to those higher difficulty playthroughs after I do the same for 1 and 2.
DMC1 held up better than I thought it would
You know you're fucking old when you look at the title of this video and the memory of the day of DMC 3's release still fresh in your mind.
Anyway. Even though its been years since I've played this. This game still stands as one of the best of all time. If not the best hack&slash. I actually think DMC 3 tops any God of War in terms of general quality.
31:51 Bazooka
dmc3 came out the same year I was born
l was 3 years old wen it came out it's kind of crazy to think that l played this game 4 or 5 years after it realised maybe thats why l thought that the graphics were really good😃
Use Kalina Ann against Arkham's summons.
Another banger of a video, can't wait for kh2 probably my favorite one in the franchise
17 years... Oh boy. Even after all those years, devil may cry still has some of the most powerful moments of adrenaline I can remember.
Vergil on dmc3 grew on me
Arkham dolphin counter is Kalina Ann rocket launcher. With at least 1 upgrade it oneshots a pack of these dolphins.
Hey! About the Arkham fight when he turns into dolphins, just spam Kalina Ann or the rocket launcher. Lady herself says to use it to slay him, the aoe damage helps a lot against him on normal and son of sparda, I’m not sure about DmD though. Hope this helps!
I remember when i play dmc 3, i have to finish the game 4 times (easy 1, normal 2, and hard 1) just to maxed out all the styles.
This game is as old as me and I've never heard of it until recently and as far as I've gotten, I can safely say it's definitely harder than any other hack and slasher games I've ever played
Will aways be a masterpiece.
7:43 oh yeah that's the point
Is that SMT:Nocturne's battle music underneath? 🤔
Using Kalina ann against the arkham legions is an effective weapon for them
Narrative wise I understand. Like a souls game Arkham fight conveys story through gameplay. Dante and Vergil together don’t need DT to fight someone as weak as Arkham. That together they would be unstoppable. Having said that however, fuck the Arkham fight. He’s the only reason I don’t like playing DMD. He just has SO much health in that phase once Vergil comes in
You forgot the bloody palace co-op in the switch version. VERY FUN
Ok am I the only one who was overwhelmed by Virgil cold glare reminding me I’m that old?
7:44 He said the thing
They played Hideki Kamiya dirty with DMC2.
I will never understand why they would make DMC2 without even telling him. He’s the reason why DMC1 was so incredible, and they gave DMC2 to a random lead developer who quit (which is why they brought in Itsuno).
Don’t get me wrong, Itsuno made DMC into the incredible franchise it is today, but I can’t help to wonder “what if”.
What if Kamiya had been allowed to make DMC2 with his vision in mind. They’ve interviewed him and he explains how he felt betrayed by Capcom for doing this, and I have no doubt we would have gotten something special with him at the helm.
We would have had a completely different game franchise altogether, and I wonder what direction that would have been…
I'm taking a break from playing Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition [Nintendo Switch version] to watch this.
How do you increase the speed in the special edition, is there any requirement?
Still asking to this day
what is the music in 9:55?
Alright 2 years late but here I am. Two small tips I've found, 1, for soul eaters, use spiral, high damage in one shot and you can easily use it from range, and one of the big ones, the slugs in arkhams fight, kalina ann, absolutely crushes them, it's not a fun solution, since you basically just jump in circles and shoot, but it works and you rarely get hit if you just jump/roll and shoot Hope that helps if anyone comes back to the 2 year old video
you can control the doppelganger with the second controller and there was a cheat code on PS2 that made doppelganger unlimited so I used to do that to play in coop with my brothers
Probably the best way to deal with the tentacle guys from arkhan is kalina Ann because they die on hit and big AOE so you can kill a lot at once
Can you please make a vid about the raidou kuzunoha series i think theyre so underrated
To anyone else who's wondering
The best weapons for the arkham fight are nevan and kalina ann
Kalina ann is reliant on gunslinger and nevan isn't so you can easily use both on normal
I have to try it out on other gamemodes but I've heard nevan is great for area damage still on dmd
