  • @sleepyking5131
    @sleepyking5131 Год назад +210

    I think the reason that you can’t switch devil breakers is because the developers want players to be more comfortable with breaking them to get to the one you want to use wether it’s manually breaking them or holding the circle button to use the devil breakers super attack.

    • @mattappl3119
      @mattappl3119 Год назад +35

      I have a similar theory, I think with Nero being the starting character he needed the simplest combat system to master, thus switching between 8 breakers would be an overcomplication to his kit. The idea of breaking them though is still super awesome as it provides a risk/reward.

    9:40 in the visions of v book it actually reveal that Vergil just wants to fight Dante, not to the death, just sparring. Really wish that was more obvious in game. it kinda there at the beginning with both them seemly happy to fight one another and also a bit tragic seeing as Vergil just wants to fight while Dante is out to kill. It is basically a reverse of the final fight of dmc3. i would highly recommend the visions of v because it goes more into Vergil and V's character. it just a shame that in a book not in the game. thank you to whoever is reading this and have a nice day or night.

      Even without reading the novel I could always tell that this was the case. I mean they both know that the other is practicality immortal and insanely durable so they can just go all out in each other when they fight. I never got the vibe that they actually wanted to kill eachother. It's just how I would imagine twins with demonic heritage to act with each other. Dante and Vergil's relationship kinda reminds me of Baki and Yujiro Hanma, they communicate through fighting and combat.

    Correction: breakers do not break "over time", they break either if you're hit mid-use, if you manually break them (which also acts as an escape from hitstun or grabs), or when you use their charged attack, which is usually some overpowered variant on their normal attack that comes at the cost of that breaker.

    It was at this time when this game released it made me realize, how much I love these types of game where it would always prioritize fun and engaging mechanics as well as having fun characters that never really take things to seriously (Dante). I feel games like these are fading out slowly within the industry as we move forward as we focus on graphical fidelity, cinematic realism and e sports. But this and games like Hi-Fi Rush made me realize this how fun video games can be again as I've kinda taken a backseat when it comes to games.

      @jurtheorc8117 Год назад

      I'd recommend checking out the upcoming Genokids for you, as it's a character action/hack-and-slash type game with a lighter tone to it. Got some cool stuff going with being able to swap on-the-fly between characters with different movesets, to do stuff like many different combos or immediately jumping out of a knockback.
      Perhaps a game from earlier this year too by name of Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. It's not so much a character action game as it is a 3D over-the-shoulder brawler in an interconnected world. It's set in a bizarre, stone age-like land called Zenozoik filled with equally bizarre, monstrous creatures.
      Main character Pseudo's kind of stoic at first, but over the course of the game he has some fun insults to his enemies and little teases to his companion.
      Solid game in a colourful and imaginative world.
      Soulstice is a game i would also want to mention to spread the word about. For it's a game that i really like and is quite good, but it's rather serious in tone. Most humor there comes from some dry wit and sarcasm between the main two characters (named Briar and Lute) and their on-field superior Layton.
      (I personally jive more with the tone and characters in Soulstice compared to HFR, but HFR's praise is definitely deserved)
      Soulstice has got its high points, low points, interesting points and points that could be improved upon, and stuff in-between. And i'd love for it to gain enough traction for an even better sequel.
      Regardless of tone, i'm hoping here with you for more fun, cool and interesting hack-and-slash/character action games to be made reality in the future.

      ​@xXBROYIXx It was covered in Visions of V, yes, but it's not what op described.
      After DMC1, Vergil managed to escape and rid himself of Mundus' influence, but his years of torture and battle under Mundus left him on the verge of death. He went to get Yamato and used it to cut away his human "shell" (maybe so his demon self could heal properly? Maybe cuz he veiwed his humanity as a weakness? I'm not sure if they ever properly explained.) But he also separated the nightmares that haunted him from his time as Nelo Angelo, aka V and his familiars.
      They realized they needed to team up in order to survive, but the Phantom nightmare was just a bit too much like the original, and refused to submit to a human, so they killed him.

    I actually really disagree on the "Rollercoaster" analogy for this series. You are never anywhere near done after just one playthrough. Hell, you unlock Nero's full moveset at the end of the game. The point of giving ranks is to incentivize getting better. You are chasing those S ranks on harder difficulties. And it's way easier in 5 since you aren't graded on Orbs found or Time anymore.

    "Uhhh....They gave Morrison a hat!" fuckin got me in tears. I do agree about the awkward dialogue with Nico. Its like she is ALMOST cute with the design and accent but sometimes her lines paired with the accent just makes it overall cringey in a way that its embarrassing to hear.

    Dante gets a sawblade motorcycle. OHOHOHOHOHO, DANTE USES A SWITCHAXE ON FULL CHARGE! YES PLEASE!
    DMC5, what a freaking game. Nero feels like the cockiness of reboot Dante was siphoned into our devil arm boy, the haircut change really suggested it too. But honestly, given how easily he would blend in with Dante, I like the bigger distinction between them. Honestly, even with less exploration in the worlds, I think the replay value in S ranking and revisiting levels lends itself better to making the game a high point of the franchise. 5th time is a charm, they hit it out of the park. This game is fantastic, and I hope we come back to this franchise soon.

    After playing it on Turbo mode the whole time, the switch back to Standard is very noticeable. Feels like a slo-mo mode which is wild to me considering I played vanilla version 6 times.
    I think Special Edition is the way to especially since it has Vergil and all the extra Devil Breakers and whatnot on disc. Also it's part of PS Extra/Premium so you can play it if you're a subscriber.

    Fun fact: Vergil after reforming is no longer searching for power, in the visions of v manga V has a talk with vergil and vergil reveals that he simply just wants to continue fighting Dante because he considers it “the best”

    Vergil hires Vergil's brother and Vergil's son to defeat Vergil so Vergil could become Vergil.
    When you play as Nero I recommend remapping the gun button to one of the shoulder buttons, Blue Rose's charged shot is pretty good.
    17:01 Nope, they're still there (ex.: Jump on the statue in Mission 3).
    19:15 You can Ex-Act while taunting in mid-air.

    I love how Vergil, in spite of his search for power, can't even outmatch Dante, which says how predictable Vergil is, and now his son is also his equal. Shows that seeking more power isn't the be all end all in this world.
    But yeah, this is probably the best character action game on the market, and it's not even close.

    • @jurtheorc8117
      @jurtheorc8117 Год назад +1

      I wonder, with how highly heralded DMC5 is as the best character action game around, are there any character action games that you find kinda rough on their own merits, but still interesting and worth talking about, or seeing how they could continue in the future?

    In the middle of the video he mentions they got rid of the red orb clusters you got for doing outlandish things. They are still there but you have to stand in a specific spot for a few seconds. It's usually on top of a puddle of blood that has no right to be there.

  • @Legoguy9875
    @Legoguy9875 Год назад

    Bloody Palace is available in standard versions of the game, but you do need to purchase the Vergil DLC to access it. The only exclusive content to Special Edition is Turbo Mode and Legendary Dark Knight. Thankfully, PC players have been able to reimplement these modes via mods, as well as loads of QOL improvements across all of the characters, so the PC version with mods is the best way to play the game if you don't have a PS5 or Series X.

    I’m honestly glad I got into Devil May Cry prior to this game’s release. I’m buddies with some people who have been fans for a while and was happy to hear they were ecstatic at 5’s announcement after a period of uncertainty. I myself loved this game. It’s one of my favorite hack-n-slashes and one of my favorite games from 2019.

    TL;DR version Majin Devil Trigger in DMC2 is referred to as 真魔人モード (Shin Majin/Devil Mode) in the Japanese version, whilst in the Japanese version of DMC5 Sin Devil Trigger is called 真魔人 (literally Shin Majin). I don't think there's been a reason why it got changed to SIN Devil Trigger instead of Shin but both sound cool in my opinion so I don't mind lol

  • @Crow_Rising
    @Crow_Rising Год назад

    I'd say that it's less that these games don't consider plot a high priority and more that the plot just happens to be the unlikely happy marriage between soap operas and shonen anime. Saving the world is a side effect of these stories, not the main goal. The story is all about the character interactions and character drama. Sibling rivalry, a nephew seeking the respect of his uncle, a son seeking to prove his strength to his father, if this series didn't have character drama there wouldn't be any substance left.

    Do you know about the manga for this game? It's called Devil May Cry Visions of V, and as is obvious by the title, focuses on V and his perspective before the start and over the course of the game's story. It's a very fun read and I think does a very good job developing V as a character and his relationship with his familiars(the banter between V and Griffin especially is a delight), and by extent developing Vergil as well. But the standout is absolutely the artwork, illustrated by Ogata Tomio who is also the writer. It's one of the most stunning manga I've ever laid eyes on, almost every page made me stop and stare. Highly recommend checking it out for the illustrations alone.
