I can't fucking believe this was 11 years ago. Life's not fair. And joe got real fat and turned woke, alienating a large portion of his fanbase. Too bad, I used to love angry joe reviews.
@@yakimandu5098I must be one of the only ones who thought this game was actually incredibly fun. And dare I say it, if it wasn’t for 5 and possibly 3, this would be the best one.
+Sean Gearhart If I'm not mistaken, actually they did. In one of videos about youtube copyright, Joe mentioned them. I saw that video abot 1 year ago, so I may be wrong.
+Pranas Vaicaitis Good catch, friend. During his first copyright video, BOTDF didn't manually file a copyright claim, it was the bullshit auto content claim system. In the second video (Joe's Good Guys/Bad Guys), BOTDF released the claim themselves. That impresses me even more. Hell, I might buy that song and give them a small amount of support for being super cool toward Joe.
Just replayed the game as I replayed most games as nostalgia. DMC3 had my fingers sore because how fast i had to interact with controller like crazy and i was afraid my controller would malfunction. Here gameplay, graphics and level design are better but the way they butchered Character especially VERGIL............. OH I wanted to strangle the developers for making vergil look weak, pathetic, moderate (Not even 1 bit of power hunger left) and not one bit intriguing like he was in dmc3. I loved Vergil more than dante in dmc3.
@@gamewizord I meant there getting a SSS rank in combo really really really hard and button mashing that had me playing one level over and over again. I got a bit obsessed with it in past. So i ENJOYED it and MAN, only two games in my life uptill now i have played that I installed only to check if it works thinking i will play it later as i had work to do but they hooked me so well that in chunks i could not pull my self away...... RE4 and DMC3. I have played a few fighting games in past and VERGIL VS. DANTE are my top rival battles then KYO VS. IORI from KOF. I just said I loved VERGIL from DMC3 but here they butchered him and i did not like him at all. CLEARED ENOUGH??????
Now watch me dance around groping my crotch like a total dumb ass 'cause some black chick gave me a pointlessly gimmicky hat weapon! Who cares that the reboot's weapons were designed to be situational and fun to use? I get a bunch of stupid weapons that are more gimmicky than anything else! Who cares the reboot actually had a story, let's watch a bunch of unlikable stereotypes spout nothing but annoying one liners, generic villain dialogue and plot points the fuckers hadn't even heard! How would I even know of the Yamato's secret power if I wasn't there to hear the conversation between emo fanboy and the pointless gun toting waifu? The monkeys who made this game obviously didn't give a shit about consistency when we made this game, why should you?! Devil May Cry one Dante? Why would you want a bad ass with a sympathetic side when you could play as me, a wisecracking idiot with no soul that has used the death of a loved one to act like a jackass my whole life?! Now shut the hell up and watch me fling myself into another nonsensical cutscene! This one's going to have ninety eight percent action filler lingo and two percent storytelling! Oh wait, you're actually serious about liking the inane drivel that the series has devolved into, aren't you?
Aw, did I make you children angry? Poor babies. It must be so annoying hearing someone else's opinion about the matter you've gotta waste your time calling them dumb asses for it. You Devil May Crybabies are the worst
This is why I like AngryJoe, he didn't base his review SOLELY on the new Dante, while I agree the new Dante was a mistake, I'm glad that he didn't try to say the entire game is trash because he didn't like the main character, something that too many people like to do.
People are starting to change their opinion on DmC and I am really glad to see it. I think that the more time passes, the more people will be able to appreciate DmC for what it is, rather than what it was supposed to be in their minds. The soundtack was just GREAT, the limbo visuals were stunning and the combat was very fluid and all around fun for people untainted by wanting more timing combo craziness. I loved the shit out of this game when it first came out and I even see some influence it had on DMC 5 in terms of visual design. I really hope we will at one point get a DmC sequel along with a main line game so that everyone is happy.
If the next devil may cry doesnt have the original one wearing a black wig and saying never in a million year it will miss a giant chance in a million.
listener 2920 well they sure won't make another one because you dipshits hated on it already. If they released another one, it would be like crysis 3. Great game but no audience left because of a previous "bad" game.
Well it sounds like we might get a Devil May Cry 5 on PS4 according to some pretty solid sounding leaks, and if it's true, I could definitely see this happening. XD
Heul G.Darian No It's Not. It Could Be Announce At E3 2018 And If It's Not Then I Don't Think It's In Development. Honestly I Am A Really Big Fan Of Original DMC Series And Dante Is My Favorite Gaming Character So I Really Hope They Announce It And The Leaks Are Sounds Great And Promising Even The Leaker Is Same Who Leaks Details About TMNT IN Injustice 2 So There Is Great Chance It's True.
this game would actually be better if it was alone, like if people didn't know dmc since the players hate this dante, vergil etc because they were so far away from the original dmc characters
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 which was a deviation from what vergil and dante originally were, and thats why people didn't like em, i personally didn't like the character but didn't hate it
This is pretty much DMC origin how it all started with Dante with his change of viewpoint of humans and become a protector of humans Vergil getting his god like powers.
Reboot was actually my first DMC. I found it to be alright and wasn't triggered by the dante change... mainly because I didn't know what the original Dante looked like. I promptly bought the first 3 games on PS2 and I can definitely say, original Dante is fucking badass.
I unironically enjoy the Blood on the Dance Floor song at the beginning, because of how amazingly shitty it is. And good on them for not copyright claiming, that is legit commendable!
1:48 - That look of horror and displacement was exactly what everyone felt when they announced the DmC reboot. Using the video "Bewitched" by Blood on The Dance Floor to insinuate the "reboot" was pure gold. Lol 😆 amazing editing Angry Joe.
@@Cybrian89 time to complete the song: Joe's got me bewitched, cause I'm under his spell (ohhhh ohhhh) I must be bewitched, cause I'm Riding to Hell (ohhhh ohhhhh)
@thelombax2002 my name isn’t mordecai dumbass it’s called an online persona it’s just a cartoon character I so happen to like alot and i thought it would be funny to put it as my profile
Győri Sándor I'm mostly a pc gamer and didn't played the first DMC games, I actually liked the new DMC, but like you said, I totally understand from where people are coming from for not liking the new DmC's character and story.
Győri Sándor What exactly is great about this game, in your opinion. And don't tell me it's the story. If I want a hack and slash game with a story, I play DMC3 and DMC4. More 3 than 4 because it gave significance to the name "Devil May Cry".
I would have liked the game, if its name was different, and the characters had different names. But its a literal Kick in the Nuts to hardcore Devil may Cry fans.
Giordan Diodato I know! Its just that, they killed the Story of Devil May Cry! Again, I would have loved it, if it was named differently, and the characters with different names. Its like the Creators didn't bother to read the storyline of Devil may cry.
I still dont understand this... why not just continue normal series? especially when devil 4 sold more copies surprisingly. I mean there is sooo much material in original series for proper sequel to be made.
Make the usual and people are gonna complain about it being the same. Make something difference and people are gonna complain about that instead. You never win as a developer.
Hurr Durr I know that you cannot always please everyone, but there is nothing wrong with continuing normal storyline established in 4 freaking games, the worst devil was devil may cry 2, but it was followed by excellent 3, and for some even better 4, devil 4 was a really good game, last thing this franchise needed was a full reboot. There is sooo much material to cover from previous games, and in a cool way. Perhaps Vergil's spin off how he tries to escape from hell, or how Nero arm reacts to yamato virgil sword, is nero his son? that would mean Dante is his uncle ( this is really visible in devil 4) But there is no sequel so we never know. Or perhaps Dante lost someone and now hes blindly seeking revenge, and turned from playful mercenary into serious and efficient killing machine (more like dante from 2 game). But dmc takes all concepts that made Dante Dante and throws them into mix that dont make any sense.
TheDragonfly256 No. Every story must come to an end. Other wise, your dmc would turn out like CoD, where it's the same game over and over again, yet different look. The made a new dmc which is a lot better in my opinion than the old one and I trully hope they'll go the same path as the first reboot and not try to make another dmc where old dante is back with his bad jokes.
Sania68 You just contradicted yourself in first statement, this was reboot, so they took everything from old games and mixed everything up. Its the same but different look. And Metal Gear series would like to speak with you. Also nobody wanted this reboot... sales for Devil may cry franchise was increasing with every new game, ppl where buying those games becasue they established firm plot and characters with their continuity in later games, we had something new in each devil, meanwhile dmc is the worst sold devil to date, with the worst user review scores. Its a mess, the only good thing about this game is level design, and thats it. Also there is difference between ending something and leaving it unfinished, which is the case in Devil may cry 4.
Let's be honest here, because it really needs to be said: The voice-acting was corny in the original DMC titles, but they weren't full of emofags--- just enjoyable characters who made the corny lines work.
Blood on the dance floor's song Bewitched is not in the game DmC in anyway shape or form Thank God (Just throwing that out there for those who think the song play's in the game the moment you start it up and is scared to buy the game to be greeted with that song)
Regardless, that song is both a crime against humanity. And an eternal sin to whichever deity you worship. It's very rare that a music video causes me to violently shove random objects inside myself. This was one of those times.
My biggest issue with this game is its name. This could've been its own franchise. The only things this has in common with its predecessor, lore-wise, is the character names and the fact that there are demons. This could've also simply been another story in the DMC world with new characters.
Totally agree with you! I want to play DMC5, I was waiting for that so much, DMC:DMC is not a bad game, but a punch in the face of the fans. They just use it name to sell alot, and we problably not going to see the original DMC ever again. I want to eat a strawberry ice cream!!!! Fuck this game DMC DMC
The original Dantw is not superior. He's 10 times more emo, and his lines suck. Remember when he said "I should have been the one to fill your dark soul wifh liiiiiiight"? Yeah what a cool character.... Original Dante is corny as fuck and doesnt hold up to today's standards. Japanese people suck at making Americanizrd characters.
+TheGr8one1022 >basing entire character with one/few line/lines>"10 times more emo" fails to prove how having white hair and a great relatable character that is the far opposite of an emo personality> seemingly unable to realize that dmc: devil may cry is actually america failing at making a character that was originally Japanese, Japanese.
Ashif Rahman Which Dante am I describing? Rebellious, shit-talking, trouble maker that learns to care about humanity after meeting a short-haired brunette with daddy-issues. Trick question, it's both DMC3 Dante and Reboot: Dante. The only difference is the hairstyle and a couple extra cuss-words. DMC3 and DmC: Reboot are also the highest rated but sold the least out of the whole series.
Sora744 I already know these similarities between DMC3 and reboot. But the main reason for me why the reboot dante was different than DMC3 Dante is his way of talking. I think the main difference between the two Dante's personalities is the original one is calm headed and sarcastic. On the other hand,reboot one is agressive and short tempered. The original one always roasts his enemies and sometimes pisses them off where the reboot one always tries to intimidate his enemies (i'm not saying that he says Fuck You all the time) and that triggers them. One likes sarcasm and the other one likes to insult. I do agree with you that, there are some similarities in the formats of both games,but the two dantes are completely different from each other in the matter of their personalities.
To not blame it on ninja, the game was fun, and the new design of Dante was capcom's idea, they want him different from the original "appeal" more to western public.
Yeah, just like FTL: Faster Than Light. Except FTL came in first. But somehow, FTL: Faster Than Light made more sense than DMC: Devil May Cry as title, and I don't why.......
Its just DMC. Not :5 or :DMC just DMC, because its on a new console they think they can reset all shit. BUT YOU CANT!! Dont change what is not broken! Fucking assholes!!!!
The gameplay was pretty good and the characters could have worked better with more development. The problem was that the gameplay and characters were clearly inferior to the original DMC Crew.
@thelombax2002 reboot has the worst writing and characterisation of the sereis and its combat is really just generic. 5 takes everything from all the games and makes it better and isnt rushed like 4 or 2
@thelombax2002 yeah you can compare characters to anything, I can say dante from dmc 5 is a better written character than goku from dragon ball, just because it's a reboot doesn't mean I can't criticise and compare it
+Yoel Quevedo i know it's random but i just wanted to say that you're a good person, you even apologised to this guy. usually people would've proceeded to saying something like "haha nerd get shit on" if you're catching my drift but what you did was really nice of you, very rare for the internet!
honestly Joe, the reasons DMC pisses me off is they changed EVERYTHING about Dante and Virgil as well as their relationship, Dante had a red coat with black insides, he had a sword bigger than Sparda's head, ebony and ivory were M1911s instead of revolvers as shown in DMC, Virgil wore blue and red with a katana, and the relationship between the two was that they were at each others' throats unless there was an enemy of higher priority, plus Dante never smoked, he drank, he had never worked unless it payed off his debt (in the lore and story of DMC3 he was constantly in debt and never payed anyone back) had something to do with devil (and Joe, they ARE called Devils, not demons) or if it payed so he could buy pizza and strawberry sundaes (dante's two favorite foods) this is why i honestly like DMC3 better, its lore friendly, its true to the Manga and Anime, it also shows how Dante trully is on a personal level, also DMC5 (the one you are writing the review about) had gotten the definition of Nephilim wrong, it is a mixture of demon (in this case its a Devil) and a human, while DMC5 thinks its angel and demon, i also hate the realism in combat, Dante is a nephilim, he doesnt have the flaws of a human in comat, he is supposed to seem invincible and impossible
I get what your saying how they kind of ruined the image but its a REBOOT .......they wanted to change almost everything and sure its a bit annoying seeing dante as a complete opposite of what he was before but meh they had a good idea going but this would been better if it was a prequel but its not
SN1P3R_W0LF_2573 This game takes place before Dante starts demon hunting, so he's even younger in this one than he was in DMC3, which explains why he never met virgil up until this point and how they become enemies at the end. Story structure was changed and it's to take place during dante's origins, how he rose up to beome a Demon hunter, which is where they left off towards the end of this game.
0072017 just get good and you don’t need to pay for abilities, DMC4SE did the same thing but it’s so trivial you don’t need to spend money AT ALL even though it’s scummy
The gameplay... meh. It's way worse especially the boss fights. Story? What fucking story. And the character did the Felix Baumgartner's jump, just without the parachute.
The gameplay is OK but a couple steps back from the original Series, ESPECIALLY how advanced 4 got. It's such a disappointment....Taking away Lock-On and making Blue/Red Weapon-Locked Enemies really hurts the stylishness that this game franchise is supposed to have.
Loved this intro so much back in the days! Haha. JOE! Please review DMC5 SOON! I just finished the game and I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on it! Best of luck!
8:23 I'm sorry, Daniel "The Quantum Ranger" Southworth is worse than this guy ? Are you fucking kidding me ? He gives all of Vergil's lines the gravitas needed for the power driven brother
Dan’s voice for Vergil is so panties-dropping even distorted as Urizen. My ovaries quiver even by thinking about Urizen’s voice undistorted. Sorry for the suggestive comment, his voice is that unique and beautiful. 🥹
I've noticed basically every complaint about Dante and Vergil is that they aren't like the previous versions. Do people not grasp what a reboot is? EVERYTHING is rebooted. The characters, the world, all of it. Dante and Vergil in this game fit in with the world they live in, just like the past Dante and Vergil fit into their world. Also, this Vergil has no honor? When did the previous Vergil? He was willing to do whatever he had to in order to get what he wanted. He didn't care about anyone, not even Dante. I've played and beaten every Devil May Cry, and people seem to be wearing nostalgia glasses or something. The new Dante is supposed to start out unlikable and a total jerk. As for Kat not doing anything, she did a lot more than Joe gave her credit for. Like Dante says in the game, they would have failed twenty times over if not for her. Also, I'm pretty sure she was giving Dante shit when she told him what was in the spray can, because she looked pretty amused while telling him. Overall, everything fit well together in this game. If they had used the old Dante and Vergil, they would have been sorely out of place in this world. this isn't some dark, gothic world. It's a more modern take on things, so you can't handle characterization the same way, or it just won't work.
When we say Vergil had honor what we mean is that he always fought his opponents in a straight up fight. He didn't use cheap tricks to take down his enemies and always fought his opponents head on. Sure he would do whatever it took to gain power, but he had a good reason for wanting it. His mother was horribly murdered without him being able to do anything. His grief is what drove him to seek power so he would never be helpless again. His actions were wrong, but the motivation behind them was understandable. While there are obviously going to be changes in a reboot there still needs to be enough similarities for the old fans to figure out who these characters are supposed to be. You could argue that the changes to Dante weren't that bad, but Vergil was a completely different person. I never would have guessed that he was supposed to be Vergil if the game hadn't told me ahead of time.
DevilHunter1994 As I recall, he didn't need cheap tricks because of just how damned good he was. DmC Dante and Vergil are obviously younger at this point than the DMC Dante and Vergil were in 3. The only reason this Vergil uses the cheap tricks is because he doesn't have the pure skill the original Vergil has. The same is true of Dante. You can see it in this game in the combos. At the end of some of them, Dante stumbles after the final attack. That shows this is still pretty early in their lives. In DMC 3, they were both young, yes, but were definitely older than their DmC versions. That means they both had longer to work on their skills, and for Vergil to get scary good at kicking Dante's ass, since the game referenced the fact (DMC 3 did) that Dante and Vergil had apparently fought before, because Dante didn't like Vergil's methods. The bottom line is, I like both versions of Dante and Vergil. I'd like to see them make a game that crosses over the two worlds, so we could see the two Vergils against the two Dantes.
TimedRevolver Actually from what I hear the characters in DmC are actually a bit older. DMC 3 Dante and Vergil were 19 and DmC Dante and Vergil were apparently 23. The differences just come from the fact that the characters are completely unique from one another.
DevilHunter1994 Okay, that's really strange. The DmC versions act much younger than that, and the DMC versions act older. But, considering what the DmC Vergil does with his time, it's no wonder that the DMC version is a better fighter.
I think the the same thing would happen. If the new Dante came out with the emo white hair and originally had the emo black hair, everyone would hate it. With anything popular, people almost always say, "Well, it's not as good as the original!.", even if it's clearly better than the original. Now, I wonder why people do THAT?
Onyx Burst I don't think it's nostalgia, to be honest I find the new dante to be completly unlikable, not because of how he looks, it's just because how rude he is and how fuck you his attitude is. I really tried to like him, but the moment i gave up was when he was going to get into the club and they said that his name is not on the list, punched the guy and just wrote fuck you, like, he could have written Dante which would have been a lot funnier and clever, more Dante like. That's when I said fuck it
@@YaBoyRascal i mean for its time it was liked not loved but liked i mean when your not shooting everything and use your sword it can be fun not to mention it has good bosses (except that helicopter and tank) and their designs were amazing and dantes suit and overall look is the best one
I don't think the game was that bad. I think that the combat and gameplay is what salvaged the game. The music was great, the title screen was badass, and the boss battles were creative in their own individual way. But the characters alongside alterations to the standardized DMC design left a lot to be desired. If they had brought traditional Dante along with this new game and didn't "modernize" the plot then I doubt it wouldn't have as many complaints.
FlickFlag Productions If the original Dante was in this one and it was a proper sequel I think it'd be received much worse. People already had a problem with DMC4 for forcing you to play Nero's dumbed down moveset. DmC's combat is that but even more dumbed down and spread across an entire game with worse bosses.
*Music? Not impressive for me, sounded a bit dubstepish at parts. *Gameplay? Fun but easier than previous games and gives SSS ranks like candy with no effort at all. *Swearing is damn cool: -FUCK YOU -FUCK YOU -FUCK YOOUUUUUUUUU -_- *DmC Definitive Edition's extra cutscene shows that the character barely changed (bringing this because people claim there's "character development" in DmC Dante) EDIT: I'm adding more: *No Lock-On feature *No Taunts *Few bosses *Enemies/bosses telegraph their attacks way too much *Cutscenes during a boss battle (no i'm not bullshitting, people already complained about this) *Like Joe said, story is like a mix of the movie They Live and the Slurm ep from Futurama. *Devil Trigger sucks, end of story.
Black Knight Alright I can understand easy factor of the game but the other two I thought were cool. I don't listen to that type of music on my occasion but whether you like it or not, that music went well with this game. We're not in a castle this time. It's more modern.
Christian Lampley thing with music is that it makes fights more entertaining, but in this game it wasn't as diverse, hell... remember DMC2? The game took place in a city but they still used organ, some metal there or other cool sound variations. They could've worked at least a bit harder imo, it just feels i'm hearing the same tone all over again. Also, i hate swearing in games just for the sake of doing it, if you liked it, fine no prob. But i hated it.
Christian Lampley Combo really smooth and easy in DMC but lack of creative and boring when i played second or third times. Vergil is fun to play and a bit hard to master than Dante but story and character about him is just. . . . . meh, i hate a character with full of jealous and twisted logic like this ,New Vergil he's a bitch. Story can tell me who made this game because Ninja Theory always like this i can't put it in words but their style always like this. Overall about this game is okay not bad not good for me but this game is reboot that is problem. I want DMC5 not this reboot. If DMC reboot rise the old will fall. So i'm really happy that many people hate this Reboot DMC.
Leekahn Wong Well that was the point of Vergil's downfall. People need to develop. You can see at the end of his downfall how he's not a "bitch" anymore. Besides this is only the first game in the reboot. This reboot had more of a story than Devil May Cry 1.
Konoha Kuroha Flippy Fliqpy it is...but i prefer calling them anal seepage on the dance floor because the music and their looks are just so god awful...
The music in DMC is actually my favorite aspect of the game. And I quite liked the game too. I really can't say a bad word about the soundtrack, it was produced by Noisia and if you're not neccessarily opposed to some d'n'b influences it sets a spectacular atmosphere to the game.
Wilson Ng I don't like that statement. It sounds (like every other discussion of this game) as if it's EITHER/OR. Old DMC and Old Dante is good. But new DmC and DmC Dante is good in their respective right. There doesn't need to be a choice if which is better, it's just saying if the game itself is good (which it is)
It's ok, dude. I also loved DMC4. Why does everyone either ignore DMC4 or straight up hate it? What bad was there in that game again? It was perfect! And the special edition of DMC4 improved it! By adding more story details, like Vergil, and giving Lady and Trish their own story too! Sure, you had to play Lady and Trish together, not separately, but still, I liked that idea. Why don't more people acknowledge or respect DMC4? It was an amazing game! Pretty much perfect. From the voice acting, to it's jokes, to the character models, to the music, to the design of the demons and enemy bosses. Sure, I didn't like how you had to backtrack as Dante towards the end of the game, but playing as Dante was fun anyways. And the Dark Slayer style was awesome to use. I mean, the backtracking makes sense, in context, that Dante has to go back and destroy the demon gates, which are the reason WHY the demons are there and killing people in the first place, in Fortuna! I loved how Dante destroys each of the gates! With his newly acquired weapons! Like that awesome transforming briefcase, then the rose weapon, and finally, his brother's katana, the Yamato. I also loved how Dante entrusted the Yamato to Nero at the end of the game. I also liked Nero, though he does act like Dante a bit too much. But, he's still an awesome character. Don't know why everyone hates him too. Seems like everybody just hates DMC4 just to hate it. It's fine if people don't like it, but to just outright take their anger out on it makes NO sense to me. It's a perfectly fine game, with virtually ZERO flaws. And a special edition that improves the gameplay and lore of the series, even if it's only by a tiny bit. But to be fair, it's difficult, if not impossible to improve on the perfection that is DMC4.
@@shawnfields2369 nobody hates or ignores 4, it was just a dmc from a different generation, while the first 3 were all ps2. Thats why they feel separated, otherwise 4 was well received.
@@shutendoji470 Ok, fair enough. I get it. DMC4 was the first multi-platform DMC game. It was from a different generation, felt different in many ways, that being one of them. You played as a different character for the majority of the game, fought Dante himself during the tutorial, played as Nero, who had different powers than Dante, but acted like Dante during DMC3, kind of like a punk. Plus, Nero was played by former 2nd Black Power Ranger, and the voice of Kaneda from Akira, as well as the voice of Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach, Johnny Yong Bosch. He was also a huge reason why I loved DMC4. I loved Nero's gameplay, his Devil Bringer and the Buster move he had, it had a unique move and animation against literally every enemy, even bosses. His Devil Trigger wasn't as cool, but it did have everyone who played it wondering if Nero was related to Vergil and Dante. Which, spoiler, he IS. But, the game wasn't perfect. The backtracking as Dante was probably the worst part of the game. But, Dante was having fun during the cutscenes, destroying the hell gates with his new weapons, and the Yamato. And, fighting a giant statue that looked like his father, Sparda. While trying to rescue Nero and Kyrie. And, the final fight with Sanctus Diabolica, and the way Nero finishes him off, by slamming him against the wall with his Devil Bringer, while using the Yamato to free Kyrie, and then, stabbing Sanctus WITH it too! And I love the music too. And, I'd love to play an entire game as Nero. At the end, Dante passes the Yamato on to Nero because I think he knew, Nero was Vergil's son. And, just like Dante's father giving both him and Vergil the Yamato and the Rebellion, Dante gives Nero the Yamato. And, the end credits music was pretty awesome too. But, it sucks how Nero loses the Yamato in 5. But, he does get his Devil Bringer back though... and learns about his family and his past. Learning Vergil is his father, Dante is his uncle, and Sparda is his grandfather. Because Nero thought he was an orphan. He grew up with Credo(Kyrie's brother), and Kyrie herself. They both saw Nero as family too. And Credo mentored Nero and taught him how to fight, and Nero was given The Red Queen, which was a standard Holy Knight's sword, which he complexly modified into his own, with the Exceed system. And he had his own revolver, the Blue Rose too. Which he also modified to fire 2 shots at the same time, and modified it to work against demons. And when Nero was old enough, Credo let him join the Holy Knights, which worked for the Order Of The Sword, lead by Sanctus, the main bad guy. And Nico, the artisan of arms who works with Nero in 5, is apparently the daughter of Agnus, one of the douchey holy knights who kidnapped Kyrie, and artificially created a number of the demons that were attacking Fortuna, the setting of DMC4. Nero defeats him, but gets stabbed by him, and gets his DT powers. While Agnus runs away like a little bitch. While Credo was fine with being a part of these things, and was also working with the Order and their evil plan. And Nero had to fight him. But, as that fight was winding down, Kyrie somehow got there, and she saw Nero beating up her brother, and got the wrong idea. Then, Credo is all like "Nero, we must set aside this battle until I find the truth of this", and flies away. And, then, Kyrie gets kidnapped, and Credo decides he's going to rescue his sister. Along with Nero. So, he betrays Sanctus, and tries to rescue both Nero and his sister. But, he gets stabbed by the Yamato, and as he dies, he asks Dante to rescue both of them. And then, he does. And then, there was a DMC4 Special Edition. It's the only version of 4 I haven't played. I had to watch someone else play it. I wish I had a way to play the Special Edition of 4. Just for the gameplay and extra story bits alone. Being a hardcore DMC fan, I feel like I'm missing out here. Thanks for the good points on 4.
So the way I see it: Music: 9/10 Fucking amazing soundtrack, makes me feel badass while I play it. Gamplay: 8/10 Really good and fastpace gameplay with tons of action packed combat. HOWEVER DT is shit, garbage, like it's here to give me HP back, that's it. Also the "use the red weapon for the red enemy" is cancer, really. But the rest is amazing. I had more options to do combos than in ANY DMC game. It's combining Nero, Dante and Vergil into one character, of course not that much, but you can feel every style from every character in this Dante. Stages: 9.5/10 I came. It's beautiful. You can see how much time and effort they have put in it. The only problem is too much red colour. I love red colour it's my favourite, BUT too much is just too much. In the end the best stages in all of DMC history. I found myself enjoying more of platforming stages than the fighting ones just because they look so good. Characters: 2/10 They are all trash. Just no. I can say that I HATE every single character. They are all pale. I can't remember them. Dante: Emo fag that swears a lot. Virgil: Fucking pussy. The chick: Girl with fucking semen. The voice actors did a shitty job. Every time I hear Dante talk I wish to cut myself. Story: 7/10 It's nice, nothing too much, but I like the concept of it even tho it's used too much and we all know it's actually happening now. Like it, but it's nothing special. My judgement is 6.5~7/10 I like it, it's fun it's good, it's not DMC 3, but it's not like it's shit. I played it 3 times untill I passed in Son of Sparda. I tried to skip every cutsceen because of the characters. I'd recomend it to everyone, but you lose the replay value after passing it once or twice.
I like the design of the game a lot. Not only how the characters look (Dantes design fits the character very well), but the stage transition of the limbo, the choice of color and this obsidian-ish looking black stuff to limit the playing area gives the game a vibe that i enjoyed through the 8 hours it took me to play through nephilim difficulty.
Nikolić Pavle pretty concise. I agree completely. had fun with the reboot, just hated the characters. but damn, did they put in some work in on art direction and the soundtrack.
I know it's been 3 years, and I mostly agree with your take, but more options? DMC4 Dante had far more options and much deeper mechanics than this. DMC4 Dante's guns have about 3 times as many moves as reboot Dante's and he also has 5 styles. Sure, he only has 3 devil arms, but each devil arm has much deeper movesets than the reboot's weapons. DmC Dante is just a heavily watered-down down DMC4 Dante with Nero's Snatch. Even DMC3 offers more in many aspects.
The wig joke is a insult to the fanbase who wanted a legit Devil May Cry 5 and not a reboot, also Ninja Theory and the head of the company Tameem is on record saying that the classic Dante is old, boring, stupid and tired.
Nero is 100 times a better character than the new Dante, Vergil is 500 times better, and the Old Dante ( the true Dante, the original) is 1000 times better.
Black Knight Exactly!!! thats right! Play Donte, and then you regret saying Nero was bad. just because he cries and has a romantic interest? that's real. and Nero is totally different from Dante and Vergil, we have the cool calm brother and the one who is crazy and brave, what would having another copy accomplish? if anything Nero is the more human of all of them. ( ironic, since he have a demon arm)
+RareLight R I still don't like Nero to be honest. I don't hate him, but I feel he really brought nothing special to the series character and story-wise. He was just a younger, more angsty and harmonal Dante. Playing him was freaking fun though. Devil Arm was sick. And for the record, DmC Dante is alright. Funny guy, but obviously doesn't reach Original Dante. Maybe if DmC gets a sequel, we'll see him grow into that more grizzled cockiness.
RareLight R There's plenty of space for both the series. I'd be happy with either or. I feel Ninja Theory still have plenty more they can show us. If they can just get the writers from Enslaved back. And definitely a better PR team. That will do them wonders.
So there I was, at Walmart DMC in one hand my phone in the other hand only 15 minutes left to decide so I watch this review for the first 5 minutes and my reaction was a bit similar to joes only in public
Same here kinda wanna know how he feels about the Devil Trigger song (Nero's battle theme) as its sounds a little bit like that track he is mocking in this video (dont get me wrong i love the devil trigger track have had it stuck in my head since Friday but just wanna see his reaction to it)
It was really cool of Botdf (the guys who made the song in the intro) not freaking out and actually going with the joke (he talked to them when this video was copyright claimed, and they were really cool about it). Say what you want about those guys, but props to them for getting a good laugh about themselves.
Just wanted to see this with a mere 6 days left before DMC 5's launch. DmC is a decent fun game. But nobody ever asked or wanted a reboot of the series, hence the immense backlash. Finally at last were getting the game we always wanted. So hyped!
You know the first dmc game I've ever played was the remake and I thought it was pretty good buuuuttt... I've played dmc 4 a few months later and I understand the hate
About the DT. Beeing a Reboot, I thought that they would put a Full DT in DmC2 (a DEMON form), because in the end of dmc we have a dante's zoom on demon eyes (??) in the ps3/360 version, removed in definitive edition (because they won't do a sequel to it). In the first DmC, the DT are basically Quicksilver for Dante and doppelganger for vergil
One positive thing I can say about dmc: dmc is that it made me curious about the other dmc games because of this video. The clip of dante taunting cerberus instantly drew me into Dantes character. I've played 3, 4, and 5 and these games really sets the bar high for action games.
I literally come back to this video to watch the intro.

If I'm not mistaken, actually they did. In one of videos about youtube copyright, Joe mentioned them. I saw that video abot 1 year ago, so I may be wrong.
+Pranas Vaicaitis Good catch, friend. During his first copyright video, BOTDF didn't manually file a copyright claim, it was the bullshit auto content claim system. In the second video (Joe's Good Guys/Bad Guys), BOTDF released the claim themselves. That impresses me even more. Hell, I might buy that song and give them a small amount of support for being super cool toward Joe.
+Sean Gearhart That's supposed to be something to be expected not respected. The fact that it is becoming not so is shameful.

Just replayed the game as I replayed most games as nostalgia. DMC3 had my fingers sore because how fast i had to interact with controller like crazy and i was afraid my controller would malfunction. Here gameplay, graphics and level design are better but the way they butchered Character especially VERGIL............. OH I wanted to strangle the developers for making vergil look weak, pathetic, moderate (Not even 1 bit of power hunger left) and not one bit intriguing like he was in dmc3. I loved Vergil more than dante in dmc3.

Get outta here kid, stop wearing my clothes.
Now watch me dance around groping my crotch like a total dumb ass 'cause some black chick gave me a pointlessly gimmicky hat weapon! Who cares that the reboot's weapons were designed to be situational and fun to use? I get a bunch of stupid weapons that are more gimmicky than anything else! Who cares the reboot actually had a story, let's watch a bunch of unlikable stereotypes spout nothing but annoying one liners, generic villain dialogue and plot points the fuckers hadn't even heard! How would I even know of the Yamato's secret power if I wasn't there to hear the conversation between emo fanboy and the pointless gun toting waifu? The monkeys who made this game obviously didn't give a shit about consistency when we made this game, why should you?! Devil May Cry one Dante? Why would you want a bad ass with a sympathetic side when you could play as me, a wisecracking idiot with no soul that has used the death of a loved one to act like a jackass my whole life?!

It is a decent game indeed,but being rejected due to shitty storyline etc..
The shitty historyline it's always been there
@@hafizmohd8224 especially since Dante turned into an edgy emo twat and no one liked it
@@gyrobeedoua6652 DMC3's story is actually good, and DMC4 was building up to a sequel that took 11 years to come out.
People are starting to change their opinion on DmC and I am really glad to see it. I think that the more time passes, the more people will be able to appreciate DmC for what it is, rather than what it was supposed to be in their minds.
The soundtack was just GREAT, the limbo visuals were stunning and the combat was very fluid and all around fun for people untainted by wanting more timing combo craziness.
I loved the shit out of this game when it first came out and I even see some influence it had on DMC 5 in terms of visual design. I really hope we will at one point get a DmC sequel along with a main line game so that everyone is happy.
If the next devil may cry doesnt have the original one wearing a black wig and saying never in a million year it will miss a giant chance in a million.
listener 2920 well they sure won't make another one because you dipshits hated on it already. If they released another one, it would be like crysis 3. Great game but no audience left because of a previous "bad" game.
Well it sounds like we might get a Devil May Cry 5 on PS4 according to some pretty solid sounding leaks, and if it's true, I could definitely see this happening. XD
consider it confirmed
If they only did that one horrible joke to ref DMC as a bad game then sure lol, anymore would be terrible.
Heul G.Darian No It's Not. It Could Be Announce At E3 2018 And If It's Not Then I Don't Think It's In Development. Honestly I Am A Really Big Fan Of Original DMC Series And Dante Is My Favorite Gaming Character So I Really Hope They Announce It And The Leaks Are Sounds Great And Promising Even The Leaker Is Same Who Leaks Details About TMNT IN Injustice 2 So There Is Great Chance It's True.

Luiz Fernando De Souza same
this game would actually be better if it was alone, like if people didn't know dmc since the players hate this dante, vergil etc because they were so far away from the original dmc characters
They werent really, they were just younger and more hot headed.
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 which was a deviation from what vergil and dante originally were, and thats why people didn't like em, i personally didn't like the character but didn't hate it
If the game wasn't called DmC it would have been better.
This is pretty much DMC origin how it all started with Dante with his change of viewpoint of humans and become a protector of humans Vergil getting his god like powers.
Reboot was actually my first DMC. I found it to be alright and wasn't triggered by the dante change... mainly because I didn't know what the original Dante looked like. I promptly bought the first 3 games on PS2 and I can definitely say, original Dante is fucking badass.
I unironically enjoy the Blood on the Dance Floor song at the beginning, because of how amazingly shitty it is. And good on them for not copyright claiming, that is legit commendable!
It isn't shitty, just really damn edgy and emo.

Győri Sándor What exactly is great about this game, in your opinion. And don't tell me it's the story. If I want a hack and slash game with a story, I play DMC3 and DMC4. More 3 than 4 because it gave significance to the name "Devil May Cry".

I still dont understand this... why not just continue normal series? especially when devil 4 sold more copies surprisingly. I mean there is sooo much material in original series for proper sequel to be made.
Indeed wtf capcom
Make the usual and people are gonna complain about it being the same. Make something difference and people are gonna complain about that instead. You never win as a developer.
Hurr Durr I know that you cannot always please everyone, but there is nothing wrong with continuing normal storyline established in 4 freaking games, the worst devil was devil may cry 2, but it was followed by excellent 3, and for some even better 4, devil 4 was a really good game, last thing this franchise needed was a full reboot. There is sooo much material to cover from previous games, and in a cool way. Perhaps Vergil's spin off how he tries to escape from hell, or how Nero arm reacts to yamato virgil sword, is nero his son? that would mean Dante is his uncle ( this is really visible in devil 4) But there is no sequel so we never know. Or perhaps Dante lost someone and now hes blindly seeking revenge, and turned from playful mercenary into serious and efficient killing machine (more like dante from 2 game). But dmc takes all concepts that made Dante Dante and throws them into mix that dont make any sense.
TheDragonfly256 No. Every story must come to an end. Other wise, your dmc would turn out like CoD, where it's the same game over and over again, yet different look.
The made a new dmc which is a lot better in my opinion than the old one and I trully hope they'll go the same path as the first reboot and not try to make another dmc where old dante is back with his bad jokes.
Sania68 You just contradicted yourself in first statement, this was reboot, so they took everything from old games and mixed everything up. Its the same but different look. And Metal Gear series would like to speak with you.
Also nobody wanted this reboot... sales for Devil may cry franchise was increasing with every new game, ppl where buying those games becasue they established firm plot and characters with their continuity in later games, we had something new in each devil, meanwhile dmc is the worst sold devil to date, with the worst user review scores. Its a mess, the only good thing about this game is level design, and thats it. Also there is difference between ending something and leaving it unfinished, which is the case in Devil may cry 4.
Let's be honest here, because it really needs to be said: The voice-acting was corny in the original DMC titles, but they weren't full of emofags--- just enjoyable characters who made the corny lines work.
Right?
Yeah,it was Sam Raimi level of corny. Corny,but extremely fun and enjoyable.

Bewitched
is not in the game DmC in anyway shape or form
Thank God
(Just throwing that out there for those who think the song play's in the game the moment you start it up and is scared to buy the game to be greeted with that song)
I kinda wish it was.
Regardless, that song is both a crime against humanity. And an eternal sin to whichever deity you worship. It's very rare that a music video causes me to violently shove random objects inside myself. This was one of those times.
Wait, so Joe took this song and the game and made that joke himself?
I was so fucking confused because I never heard anything like that in the game.
Jackie Sixx he was making a joke about how edgy this game is
Blood on the dance floor's songs are a guilty pleasure of mine >.>
My biggest issue with this game is its name. This could've been its own franchise. The only things this has in common with its predecessor, lore-wise, is the character names and the fact that there are demons. This could've also simply been another story in the DMC world with new characters.
you know that would be actually smart...
Totally agree with you!

I didn't have that much problem with imposter Dante's look but a lot with his personality
Nagarjuna Mote i have a problem with both, although if he was likable i could forgive his new look
Nagarjuna Mote Why? He was just like DMC3 Dante, the fan favorite
Sora744 DMC3 Dante..... Are you serious ? Okay, now I think you've never actually played DMC3.
Ashif Rahman Which Dante am I describing? Rebellious, shit-talking, trouble maker that learns to care about humanity after meeting a short-haired brunette with daddy-issues. Trick question, it's both DMC3 Dante and Reboot: Dante. The only difference is the hairstyle and a couple extra cuss-words.
DMC3 and DmC: Reboot are also the highest rated but sold the least out of the whole series.
Sora744 I already know these similarities between DMC3 and reboot. But the main reason for me why the reboot dante was different than DMC3 Dante is his way of talking. I think the main difference between the two Dante's personalities is the original one is calm headed and sarcastic. On the other hand,reboot one is agressive and short tempered. The original one always roasts his enemies and sometimes pisses them off where the reboot one always tries to intimidate his enemies (i'm not saying that he says Fuck You all the time) and that triggers them. One likes sarcasm and the other one likes to insult.
I do agree with you that, there are some similarities in the formats of both games,but the two dantes are completely different from each other in the matter of their personalities.
To not blame it on ninja, the game was fun, and the new design of Dante was capcom's idea, they want him different from the original "appeal" more to western public.
It's impressive, the amount of damage that Keiji Inafune singlehandedly inflicted on this company
DMC: Devil May Cry
wait are the calling this game Devil May Cry: Devil May Cry
interesting choice.
Yeah, just like FTL: Faster Than Light.
Except FTL came in first.
But somehow, FTL: Faster Than Light made more sense than DMC: Devil May Cry as title, and I don't why.......
Its just DMC. Not :5 or :DMC just DMC, because its on a new console they think they can reset all shit. BUT YOU CANT!! Dont change what is not broken! Fucking assholes!!!!
Sorta like DC Comics. Detective Comics Comics. It’s weird yeah, but eh. *shrug* Their choice.
Haha KFC: Kentucky Fried Chicken
Or dsw shoe warehouse
In all honesty, the game isn't bad.
Gameplay wise it was decent, but lets be honest the story and the character fucking sucked lol. Especially now that dmc5 is out.
@@ManoloRibera070 agree
The gameplay was pretty good and the characters could have worked better with more development. The problem was that the gameplay and characters were clearly inferior to the original DMC Crew.
He rate it 7 i think.
Its good. I really like it. I just put in my mind that is not dante
@@ManoloRibera070 Atleast you are not an ignorant.
Why do I keep returning to this video? To see that one clip at the start again... Seriously was not expecting Blood on the dance floor cx

Yizzus Crice, how many fucking zombie games you buying, joe!?
God I’m so glad we got DMC 5
@thelombax2002 why, its probably the best in the series
@thelombax2002 im gonna gues youre a dmc reboot fan then 😬
@thelombax2002 definitely not, you can't actually believe that dmc 2 and dmc reboot are better
@thelombax2002 reboot has the worst writing and characterisation of the sereis and its combat is really just generic. 5 takes everything from all the games and makes it better and isnt rushed like 4 or 2
@thelombax2002 yeah you can compare characters to anything, I can say dante from dmc 5 is a better written character than goku from dragon ball, just because it's a reboot doesn't mean I can't criticise and compare it
I thought this song was made for this game when I first seen the review, it goes with it well
@thelombax2008 stop calling it devil may cry then
LOL started to die when I saw blood on the dance floor! good thing they broke up!
blood on the dancefloor looks cancerous to me. like jesus christ, did they puke rainbows on themselves.

+Yoel Quevedo i know it's random but i just wanted to say that you're a good person, you even apologised to this guy. usually people would've proceeded to saying something like "haha nerd get shit on" if you're catching my drift but what you did was really nice of you, very rare for the internet!
He did nothing special. There was no reason to apologize. You don't know what being polite really means.
honestly Joe, the reasons DMC pisses me off is they changed EVERYTHING about Dante and Virgil as well as their relationship, Dante had a red coat with black insides, he had a sword bigger than Sparda's head, ebony and ivory were M1911s instead of revolvers as shown in DMC, Virgil wore blue and red with a katana, and the relationship between the two was that they were at each others' throats unless there was an enemy of higher priority, plus Dante never smoked, he drank, he had never worked unless it payed off his debt (in the lore and story of DMC3 he was constantly in debt and never payed anyone back) had something to do with devil (and Joe, they ARE called Devils, not demons) or if it payed so he could buy pizza and strawberry sundaes (dante's two favorite foods) this is why i honestly like DMC3 better, its lore friendly, its true to the Manga and Anime, it also shows how Dante trully is on a personal level, also DMC5 (the one you are writing the review about) had gotten the definition of Nephilim wrong, it is a mixture of demon (in this case its a Devil) and a human, while DMC5 thinks its angel and demon, i also hate the realism in combat, Dante is a nephilim, he doesnt have the flaws of a human in comat, he is supposed to seem invincible and impossible
desert eagles are actually weaker than M1911s despite what games show them as in damage
I get what your saying how they kind of ruined the image but its a REBOOT .......they wanted to change almost everything and sure its a bit annoying seeing dante as a complete opposite of what he was before but meh they had a good idea going but this would been better if it was a prequel but its not
if it was a younger version of Dante with everything else being messed up, then yeah but i dont think it would be a good prequel
SN1P3R_W0LF_2573
This game takes place before Dante starts demon hunting, so he's even younger in this one than he was in DMC3, which explains why he never met virgil up until this point and how they become enemies at the end. Story structure was changed and it's to take place during dante's origins, how he rose up to beome a Demon hunter, which is where they left off towards the end of this game.
SN1P3R_W0LF_2573 bullshit, desert eagle has a 50 caliber bullet size, which is way bigger than the m1911's 45 caliber. learn your shit man
The song in the intro for anyone who is curious is called Bewitched - blood on the dance floor
Only DMC games I liked were 1st,3rd(favorite),and 4th
the first has aged like milk, tbh. But I think I'm spoiled by Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno.
yeah it was pretty fun
still got dmc3 se on my shitty pc,and damn ps2 timeline was a fucking monster in creating epic games
To me no Devil May Cry sequel has matched the original's atmosphere and awesome bosses, 3 is a lot of fun, but still just not as good.
Superman but as an action game, the original has aged pretty badly.
I'm looking back on this video and laughing, thank God e3 2018 featured the official trailer for DMC 5
Ya dont get to exciting it will have microtransactions so be prepared. EA as done done it agian
HALLELUJAH
It's alright as a separate game but is no way a devil may cry game.
0072017 just get good and you don’t need to pay for abilities, DMC4SE did the same thing but it’s so trivial you don’t need to spend money AT ALL even though it’s scummy
Fuck off fan gay. DMC is damn good hack and slash game.
The gameplay is good and improved and story is interesting buuuuttt... The characters took a skydive from the great mountain
The gameplay... meh. It's way worse especially the boss fights. Story? What fucking story. And the character did the Felix Baumgartner's jump, just without the parachute.
I heard they are going back to old school devil may cry buuyaa 😂but no one knows when that's happening lol
maybe when condescending idiots like Joe and his groupies will start appreciating a good game... jeez... never seen a more toxic fanbase that DMC's :/
The gameplay is OK but a couple steps back from the original Series, ESPECIALLY how advanced 4 got. It's such a disappointment....Taking away Lock-On and making Blue/Red Weapon-Locked Enemies really hurts the stylishness that this game franchise is supposed to have.
The story has so many holes when you consider the past games, the story is bullshit in this game
The intro and Joe addressing the fanboys were perfect. Well done, dawg
Cringe
@@jZamora87Yeah, you
Feel like they would have done better if they named it something else and not put it into the Dmc series.

Yeah but than everyone would compare it to dmc and say it's a rip off.
"what's next?" uhhh Joe, dmc 4 is next, not the crappy reboot
Gameanator

Gameanator because all the Dante nut jobs hate Nero
nah that was before we got to know Nero.Nero is not the best but certainly an ok character.
A Seagull 😂😂😂 okay guy. Wait....are you confessing to being a Dante nut job
Loved this intro so much back in the days! Haha. JOE! Please review DMC5 SOON! I just finished the game and I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on it! Best of luck!
Your wish has been granted
8:23 I'm sorry, Daniel "The Quantum Ranger" Southworth is worse than this guy ? Are you fucking kidding me ? He gives all of Vergil's lines the gravitas needed for the power driven brother
He's smoking weed lol
Dan’s voice for Vergil is so panties-dropping even distorted as Urizen. My ovaries quiver even by thinking about Urizen’s voice undistorted. Sorry for the suggestive comment, his voice is that unique and beautiful. 🥹
Dan could read an audiobook of the dictionary and it will sound like silk on the ears.
I've noticed basically every complaint about Dante and Vergil is that they aren't like the previous versions.
Do people not grasp what a reboot is? EVERYTHING is rebooted. The characters, the world, all of it. Dante and Vergil in this game fit in with the world they live in, just like the past Dante and Vergil fit into their world.
Also, this Vergil has no honor? When did the previous Vergil? He was willing to do whatever he had to in order to get what he wanted. He didn't care about anyone, not even Dante.
I've played and beaten every Devil May Cry, and people seem to be wearing nostalgia glasses or something. The new Dante is supposed to start out unlikable and a total jerk.
As for Kat not doing anything, she did a lot more than Joe gave her credit for. Like Dante says in the game, they would have failed twenty times over if not for her. Also, I'm pretty sure she was giving Dante shit when she told him what was in the spray can, because she looked pretty amused while telling him.
Overall, everything fit well together in this game. If they had used the old Dante and Vergil, they would have been sorely out of place in this world. this isn't some dark, gothic world. It's a more modern take on things, so you can't handle characterization the same way, or it just won't work.
When we say Vergil had honor what we mean is that he always fought his opponents in a straight up fight. He didn't use cheap tricks to take down his enemies and always fought his opponents head on. Sure he would do whatever it took to gain power, but he had a good reason for wanting it. His mother was horribly murdered without him being able to do anything. His grief is what drove him to seek power so he would never be helpless again. His actions were wrong, but the motivation behind them was understandable. While there are obviously going to be changes in a reboot there still needs to be enough similarities for the old fans to figure out who these characters are supposed to be. You could argue that the changes to Dante weren't that bad, but Vergil was a completely different person. I never would have guessed that he was supposed to be Vergil if the game hadn't told me ahead of time.
DevilHunter1994 As I recall, he didn't need cheap tricks because of just how damned good he was.
DmC Dante and Vergil are obviously younger at this point than the DMC Dante and Vergil were in 3. The only reason this Vergil uses the cheap tricks is because he doesn't have the pure skill the original Vergil has.
The same is true of Dante. You can see it in this game in the combos. At the end of some of them, Dante stumbles after the final attack. That shows this is still pretty early in their lives.
In DMC 3, they were both young, yes, but were definitely older than their DmC versions. That means they both had longer to work on their skills, and for Vergil to get scary good at kicking Dante's ass, since the game referenced the fact (DMC 3 did) that Dante and Vergil had apparently fought before, because Dante didn't like Vergil's methods.
The bottom line is, I like both versions of Dante and Vergil. I'd like to see them make a game that crosses over the two worlds, so we could see the two Vergils against the two Dantes.
TimedRevolver Actually from what I hear the characters in DmC are actually a bit older. DMC 3 Dante and Vergil were 19 and DmC Dante and Vergil were apparently 23. The differences just come from the fact that the characters are completely unique from one another.
DevilHunter1994 Okay, that's really strange. The DmC versions act much younger than that, and the DMC versions act older.
But, considering what the DmC Vergil does with his time, it's no wonder that the DMC version is a better fighter.
My complaint is that they're worse than the originals, not just different :U
I can't wait for him to review Devil May Cry 5
And now I prefer this dmc than the 5, for me this is awesome in all the topics
management1 how this game is ass well at least the characters and story but gameplay this beats 5
@@toren2099 gameplay dmc beats 5 u clearly never played 5
I wonder how people would think about this Dante if he were first in the series instead of last
I think the the same thing would happen. If the new Dante came out with the emo white hair and originally had the emo black hair, everyone would hate it. With anything popular, people almost always say, "Well, it's not as good as the original!.", even if it's clearly better than the original. Now, I wonder why people do THAT?
AmphibiousWarrior573 I don't know why, actually i enjoy each DmC
They're all pretty good but I liked the new one the least
AmphibiousWarrior573 Its because people are too blinded by nostalgia that they cant accept changes to a series they liked
Onyx Burst I don't think it's nostalgia, to be honest I find the new dante to be completly unlikable, not because of how he looks, it's just because how rude he is and how fuck you his attitude is.
I really tried to like him, but the moment i gave up was when he was going to get into the club and they said that his name is not on the list, punched the guy and just wrote fuck you, like, he could have written Dante which would have been a lot funnier and clever, more Dante like. That's when I said fuck it
I loved how he completely skips DMC 2 in the intro.
We dont talk about 2
@@YaBoyRascal i mean for its time it was liked not loved but liked
i mean when your not shooting everything and use your sword it can be fun not to mention it has good bosses (except that helicopter and tank) and their designs were amazing and dantes suit and overall look is the best one
DMC 2 never existed... Damned Mandela effect ! 😂
DMC 2?? what is that?
and also dmc3
I don't think the game was that bad. I think that the combat and gameplay is what salvaged the game. The music was great, the title screen was badass, and the boss battles were creative in their own individual way. But the characters alongside alterations to the standardized DMC design left a lot to be desired. If they had brought traditional Dante along with this new game and didn't "modernize" the plot then I doubt it wouldn't have as many complaints.
FlickFlag Productions If the original Dante was in this one and it was a proper sequel I think it'd be received much worse. People already had a problem with DMC4 for forcing you to play Nero's dumbed down moveset. DmC's combat is that but even more dumbed down and spread across an entire game with worse bosses.
Every couple of months, i come to watch the introduction. My god...it's so true xD
The whole wig thing to me was Capcom thinking we'd say "I know right? Dante looked stupid back then!" but it just made us angrier.
***** too far, man -_-
Blame ninja theory not Capcom
What happened to the comment that said “Did you just grab the bottom of the disc? You troglodyte!”
Once again Nostalgia is blocking judgement for ignorant hardcore fans.
*Music? Not impressive for me, sounded a bit dubstepish at parts.
*Gameplay? Fun but easier than previous games and gives SSS ranks like candy with no effort at all.
*Swearing is damn cool:
-FUCK YOU
-FUCK YOU
-FUCK YOOUUUUUUUUU -_-
*DmC Definitive Edition's extra cutscene shows that the character barely changed (bringing this because people claim there's "character development" in DmC Dante)
EDIT: I'm adding more:
*No Lock-On feature
*No Taunts
*Few bosses
*Enemies/bosses telegraph their attacks way too much
*Cutscenes during a boss battle (no i'm not bullshitting, people already complained about this)
*Like Joe said, story is like a mix of the movie They Live and the Slurm ep from Futurama.
*Devil Trigger sucks, end of story.
Black Knight Alright I can understand easy factor of the game but the other two I thought were cool. I don't listen to that type of music on my occasion but whether you like it or not, that music went well with this game. We're not in a castle this time. It's more modern.
Christian Lampley thing with music is that it makes fights more entertaining, but in this game it wasn't as diverse, hell... remember DMC2? The game took place in a city but they still used organ, some metal there or other cool sound variations. They could've worked at least a bit harder imo, it just feels i'm hearing the same tone all over again. Also, i hate swearing in games just for the sake of doing it, if you liked it, fine no prob. But i hated it.
Christian Lampley Combo really smooth and easy in DMC but lack of creative and boring when i played second or third times. Vergil is fun to play and a bit hard to master than Dante but story and character about him is just. . . . . meh, i hate a character with full of jealous and twisted logic like this ,New Vergil he's a bitch. Story can tell me who made this game because Ninja Theory always like this i can't put it in words but their style always like this.
Overall about this game is okay not bad not good for me but this game is reboot that is problem.
I want DMC5 not this reboot. If DMC reboot rise the old will fall.
So i'm really happy that many people hate this Reboot DMC.
Leekahn Wong Well that was the point of Vergil's downfall. People need to develop. You can see at the end of his downfall how he's not a "bitch" anymore. Besides this is only the first game in the reboot. This reboot had more of a story than Devil May Cry 1.
Who is the emo, singer wtf? I hope that isn't in the actual game. My eyes are bleeding from the epic shittyness.
lol no it wasn't in the game, thankfully.
I think it's the stupid band Blood On The Dancefloor
Konoha Kuroha Flippy Fliqpy it is...but i prefer calling them anal seepage on the dance floor because the music and their looks are just so god awful...
yup
The music in DMC is actually my favorite aspect of the game. And I quite liked the game too. I really can't say a bad word about the soundtrack, it was produced by Noisia and if you're not neccessarily opposed to some d'n'b influences it sets a spectacular atmosphere to the game.

I don't like that statement. It sounds (like every other discussion of this game) as if it's EITHER/OR. Old DMC and Old Dante is good. But new DmC and DmC Dante is good in their respective right. There doesn't need to be a choice if which is better, it's just saying if the game itself is good (which it is)
The intro doesn’t even acknowledge that dmc 4 is a thing just 1-3 :( I loved 4
It's ok, dude. I also loved DMC4. Why does everyone either ignore DMC4 or straight up hate it? What bad was there in that game again? It was perfect! And the special edition of DMC4 improved it! By adding more story details, like Vergil, and giving Lady and Trish their own story too! Sure, you had to play Lady and Trish together, not separately, but still, I liked that idea. Why don't more people acknowledge or respect DMC4? It was an amazing game! Pretty much perfect. From the voice acting, to it's jokes, to the character models, to the music, to the design of the demons and enemy bosses. Sure, I didn't like how you had to backtrack as Dante towards the end of the game, but playing as Dante was fun anyways. And the Dark Slayer style was awesome to use. I mean, the backtracking makes sense, in context, that Dante has to go back and destroy the demon gates, which are the reason WHY the demons are there and killing people in the first place, in Fortuna! I loved how Dante destroys each of the gates! With his newly acquired weapons! Like that awesome transforming briefcase, then the rose weapon, and finally, his brother's katana, the Yamato. I also loved how Dante entrusted the Yamato to Nero at the end of the game. I also liked Nero, though he does act like Dante a bit too much. But, he's still an awesome character. Don't know why everyone hates him too. Seems like everybody just hates DMC4 just to hate it. It's fine if people don't like it, but to just outright take their anger out on it makes NO sense to me. It's a perfectly fine game, with virtually ZERO flaws. And a special edition that improves the gameplay and lore of the series, even if it's only by a tiny bit. But to be fair, it's difficult, if not impossible to improve on the perfection that is DMC4.
@@shawnfields2369 nobody hates or ignores 4, it was just a dmc from a different generation, while the first 3 were all ps2. Thats why they feel separated, otherwise 4 was well received.
@@shutendoji470 Ok, fair enough. I get it. DMC4 was the first multi-platform DMC game. It was from a different generation, felt different in many ways, that being one of them. You played as a different character for the majority of the game, fought Dante himself during the tutorial, played as Nero, who had different powers than Dante, but acted like Dante during DMC3, kind of like a punk. Plus, Nero was played by former 2nd Black Power Ranger, and the voice of Kaneda from Akira, as well as the voice of Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach, Johnny Yong Bosch. He was also a huge reason why I loved DMC4. I loved Nero's gameplay, his Devil Bringer and the Buster move he had, it had a unique move and animation against literally every enemy, even bosses. His Devil Trigger wasn't as cool, but it did have everyone who played it wondering if Nero was related to Vergil and Dante. Which, spoiler, he IS. But, the game wasn't perfect. The backtracking as Dante was probably the worst part of the game. But, Dante was having fun during the cutscenes, destroying the hell gates with his new weapons, and the Yamato. And, fighting a giant statue that looked like his father, Sparda. While trying to rescue Nero and Kyrie. And, the final fight with Sanctus Diabolica, and the way Nero finishes him off, by slamming him against the wall with his Devil Bringer, while using the Yamato to free Kyrie, and then, stabbing Sanctus WITH it too! And I love the music too. And, I'd love to play an entire game as Nero. At the end, Dante passes the Yamato on to Nero because I think he knew, Nero was Vergil's son. And, just like Dante's father giving both him and Vergil the Yamato and the Rebellion, Dante gives Nero the Yamato. And, the end credits music was pretty awesome too. But, it sucks how Nero loses the Yamato in 5. But, he does get his Devil Bringer back though... and learns about his family and his past. Learning Vergil is his father, Dante is his uncle, and Sparda is his grandfather. Because Nero thought he was an orphan. He grew up with Credo(Kyrie's brother), and Kyrie herself. They both saw Nero as family too. And Credo mentored Nero and taught him how to fight, and Nero was given The Red Queen, which was a standard Holy Knight's sword, which he complexly modified into his own, with the Exceed system. And he had his own revolver, the Blue Rose too. Which he also modified to fire 2 shots at the same time, and modified it to work against demons. And when Nero was old enough, Credo let him join the Holy Knights, which worked for the Order Of The Sword, lead by Sanctus, the main bad guy. And Nico, the artisan of arms who works with Nero in 5, is apparently the daughter of Agnus, one of the douchey holy knights who kidnapped Kyrie, and artificially created a number of the demons that were attacking Fortuna, the setting of DMC4. Nero defeats him, but gets stabbed by him, and gets his DT powers. While Agnus runs away like a little bitch. While Credo was fine with being a part of these things, and was also working with the Order and their evil plan. And Nero had to fight him. But, as that fight was winding down, Kyrie somehow got there, and she saw Nero beating up her brother, and got the wrong idea. Then, Credo is all like "Nero, we must set aside this battle until I find the truth of this", and flies away. And, then, Kyrie gets kidnapped, and Credo decides he's going to rescue his sister. Along with Nero. So, he betrays Sanctus, and tries to rescue both Nero and his sister. But, he gets stabbed by the Yamato, and as he dies, he asks Dante to rescue both of them. And then, he does. And then, there was a DMC4 Special Edition. It's the only version of 4 I haven't played. I had to watch someone else play it. I wish I had a way to play the Special Edition of 4. Just for the gameplay and extra story bits alone. Being a hardcore DMC fan, I feel like I'm missing out here. Thanks for the good points on 4.
I can't believe it's been six fucking years.. and I rewatch it again!.. I'm about to get my hands on Devil May Cry 5 soon..
So the way I see it:
Music: 9/10 Fucking amazing soundtrack, makes me feel badass while I play it.
Gamplay: 8/10 Really good and fastpace gameplay with tons of action packed combat. HOWEVER DT is shit, garbage, like it's here to give me HP back, that's it. Also the "use the red weapon for the red enemy" is cancer, really. But the rest is amazing. I had more options to do combos than in ANY DMC game. It's combining Nero, Dante and Vergil into one character, of course not that much, but you can feel every style from every character in this Dante.
Stages: 9.5/10 I came. It's beautiful. You can see how much time and effort they have put in it. The only problem is too much red colour. I love red colour it's my favourite, BUT too much is just too much. In the end the best stages in all of DMC history. I found myself enjoying more of platforming stages than the fighting ones just because they look so good.
Characters: 2/10 They are all trash. Just no. I can say that I HATE every single character. They are all pale. I can't remember them. Dante: Emo fag that swears a lot. Virgil: Fucking pussy. The chick: Girl with fucking semen. The voice actors did a shitty job. Every time I hear Dante talk I wish to cut myself.
Story: 7/10 It's nice, nothing too much, but I like the concept of it even tho it's used too much and we all know it's actually happening now. Like it, but it's nothing special.
My judgement is 6.5~7/10 I like it, it's fun it's good, it's not DMC 3, but it's not like it's shit. I played it 3 times untill I passed in Son of Sparda. I tried to skip every cutsceen because of the characters. I'd recomend it to everyone, but you lose the replay value after passing it once or twice.
I like the design of the game a lot. Not only how the characters look (Dantes design fits the character very well), but the stage transition of the limbo, the choice of color and this obsidian-ish looking black stuff to limit the playing area gives the game a vibe that i enjoyed through the 8 hours it took me to play through nephilim difficulty.
Nikolić Pavle pretty concise. I agree completely. had fun with the reboot, just hated the characters. but damn, did they put in some work in on art direction and the soundtrack.
I know it's been 3 years, and I mostly agree with your take, but more options? DMC4 Dante had far more options and much deeper mechanics than this. DMC4 Dante's guns have about 3 times as many moves as reboot Dante's and he also has 5 styles. Sure, he only has 3 devil arms, but each devil arm has much deeper movesets than the reboot's weapons.
DmC Dante is just a heavily watered-down down DMC4 Dante with Nero's Snatch. Even DMC3 offers more in many aspects.
Wasnt the white wig joke added after some of the nasty blowback for the new look?
The wig joke is a insult to the fanbase who wanted a legit Devil May Cry 5 and not a reboot, also Ninja Theory and the head of the company Tameem is on record saying that the classic Dante is old, boring, stupid and tired.
Nero is 100 times a better character than the new Dante, Vergil is 500 times better, and the Old Dante ( the true Dante, the original) is 1000 times better.
I wanna see those who hated on Nero, getting to play as DmC Reboot Dante (aka Donte) and feeling bad for hating Nero.
Black Knight Exactly!!! thats right! Play Donte, and then you regret saying Nero was bad. just because he cries and has a romantic interest? that's real. and Nero is totally different from Dante and Vergil, we have the cool calm brother and the one who is crazy and brave, what would having another copy accomplish? if anything Nero is the more human of all of them. ( ironic, since he have a demon arm)
+RareLight R I still don't like Nero to be honest. I don't hate him, but I feel he really brought nothing special to the series character and story-wise. He was just a younger, more angsty and harmonal Dante. Playing him was freaking fun though. Devil Arm was sick.
And for the record, DmC Dante is alright. Funny guy, but obviously doesn't reach Original Dante. Maybe if DmC gets a sequel, we'll see him grow into that more grizzled cockiness.
Adidaas yeah, sequel...but Vergil is...Kat is... and the new Dante...i rather get a devil may cry 5,yeah :D
RareLight R There's plenty of space for both the series. I'd be happy with either or. I feel Ninja Theory still have plenty more they can show us. If they can just get the writers from Enslaved back. And definitely a better PR team. That will do them wonders.
Wanna know the best part?
The devs actually got bullied over -Vergil's- Vorgil's fedora. I fucking love it.
Vergil having a fedora is hilariously lacking in self-awareness
Virgin. That’s the fake Vergil
So there I was, at Walmart DMC in one hand my phone in the other hand only 15 minutes left to decide so I watch this review for the first 5 minutes and my reaction was a bit similar to joes only in public
Par Kicks Too bad you weren’t able to watch the rest of it to find out that the games actually pretty damn fun and not emo at all.
Agree this comment, but it IS emo at all. especially that DLC..
The Coolest well you didn't get it then because what he's saying is that it's emo af but still good to play with the mechanics and other good points
I sooo can't wait to see his review of the new Devil May Cry 5 :D
Same here kinda wanna know how he feels about the Devil Trigger song (Nero's battle theme) as its sounds a little bit like that track he is mocking in this video (dont get me wrong i love the devil trigger track have had it stuck in my head since Friday but just wanna see his reaction to it)
@@raizan1 Devil Trigger is a pretty cool song in my opinion!
@@bernardomarkuskampffdemelo4323 Virgil's song is amazing
It was really cool of Botdf (the guys who made the song in the intro) not freaking out and actually going with the joke (he talked to them when this video was copyright claimed, and they were really cool about it). Say what you want about those guys, but props to them for getting a good laugh about themselves.
That gradual transition to discomfort, and then to realization, and then to pure contempt is glorious.
Just wanted to see this with a mere 6 days left before DMC 5's launch. DmC is a decent fun game. But nobody ever asked or wanted a reboot of the series, hence the immense backlash. Finally at last were getting the game we always wanted. So hyped!
You know the first dmc game I've ever played was the remake and I thought it was pretty good buuuuttt... I've played dmc 4 a few months later and I understand the hate
I did the same. Except I was like yo these fanboys are dumb. Dmc 4 is boooooooring.
@@HermanFalckHow nope way better than dmc

@@aaddiis45021 DMC 1 should be on that list and should be third
@@aaddiis45021 really dmc2 ? Dmc2 is for kids i love franchise but man dmc2 was baaaad
About the DT. Beeing a Reboot, I thought that they would put a Full DT in DmC2 (a DEMON form), because in the end of dmc we have a dante's zoom on demon eyes (??) in the ps3/360 version, removed in definitive edition (because they won't do a sequel to it).
In the first DmC, the DT are basically Quicksilver for Dante and doppelganger for vergil
Imagine that this intro was so damn good that capcom created "V" in DMCV as a tribute.
Years later I still find this funny af and I love angry joe
I actually had to look up that music video just to see that they disabled the comments section in that video LOL AngryJoeeeee
Douchebag May Cry
*Scanning for this Douchebag* It's you
Despacito May Cry
Ethan Chee lmao atleast we actually get dmc5 and not that emo shit now
*Devil May Cringe*
A Seagull yeah but now we have a different Nero
One positive thing I can say about dmc: dmc is that it made me curious about the other dmc games because of this video. The clip of dante taunting cerberus instantly drew me into Dantes character. I've played 3, 4, and 5 and these games really sets the bar high for action games.
I fell in love with Dante just because of that awesome opening in DMC3. Kicking demon ass while shirtless and eating pizza. Legend.
