Devil May Cry Discussion Thread

yeah that's why I said it is the most innovative game in the whole series

we got bloody palace, 2 more playable characters, weapon switching, a whole new campaign for Lucia, several more costumes, the hidden majin form, whole lot new game mechanics that would be the styles, mission selection iirc, a ton of combos (that are never explained and stay hidden), cool ass features like Dante using the shotgun and Ebony at the same time or the rocket launcher and Ebony

First to introduce the dedicated dashing dodge feature as well, with some pretty nice-looking animations. Plus some pretty interesting characters in Lucia and Matier who really should get more elaboration.

honestly if Itsuno had gotten a hold of it at the very beginning it would have been one of, if not, the best in the franchise just by the sheer number of things it brings to the table

Game is held back by clunky lock on mechanics, an unwanted shift in Dante's character, annoying missions with underwater sections and timers, a few not-so-great bosses, and a distinct lack of dialogue to develop bosses, scenes and characters. That's why DMC2's bosses are less memorable than the bosses from other games, for example.

Casey Edwards said he finished a revamped version of Devil Trigger and that release is imminent

Speaking of which, do you lads think it'll be the extended one or the shorter one? I personally don't like the extended one as much as the 3 minute one, it'll prob be a banger still, but I would rather listen to a 3 minute version then the 6 minute one

It is interesting that it's arguably still the best DMC game even with the technology advancements of 4 and 5, both good games in their own right.

Its not as advanced as them, but I do like a lot of things 3 does that the other 2 don't. For starters, I think 3 has the best bosses in the game, a few hiccups here and there, but I think the best ones over shadow the worst ones, but I honestly do think the reason I replayed 3 so much over the other 2 is due to 2 things: You have multiple saves that allow you to start at higher difficulties without any upgrade and the fact that, regardless of the character you choose, you play the 20 missions with them.

I specially miss the former since I think my favourite memories with it are with self imposing challenges that I can't do on either 4 or 5

The problem with 4 is half the game is absolutely ass cheeks. It takes backtracking to the extreme with Dante’s portion.

After playing the reboot, I appreciate that game’s level design, it’s honestly top 2 up there with DMC3.

Include Dante’s complexity in gameplay, imagine being a beginner and went through this game and suddenly you shift into Dante, really really difficult to adjust. (True story since i love Nero)

I'll be completely honest, back tracking was never an issue to me, my main issue with 4 is just how much I hate the enemies there. I feel like I could've likely have a better time nowadays given I played and replayed 4 when I wasn't really into DMC but like, it's still not attractive to me, I don't like Nero that much and I disliked the fact Dante had to cycle through Lucifer, a weapon that didn't catch my interest when I played the game
 
If they were to do a 6 i hope they look at the Reboot again because the Angel Weapons like the Scythe can be so cool, i love El Donte’s move where he is in the air, he would slice the scythe downwards then up to grab enemies from the ground to continue air combo
 
DMC 3 and 5 will always be special to me

EXACTLY the same with Persona too...


Really hope they do more Collabs with Devil May Cry and Persona (not just Megami Tensei).

Dante and Vergil meeting Makoto Yuki and Ren Amamiya. That would go SOOOOOO HARD. And if it was a Hack n Slash, instead of Turn-Based.

100%. How do you think Dante got his white hair?
Click to expand...
I must interject and say, Netflix Not Dante doesn't appear to be gay.

Besides, there are gay characters such as Bulat who go out in a blaze of glory and heroic sacrifice, proving that being gay is not at all a barrier to being cool. Meanwhile Donte just thinks it's cool to write swear words on people's notepads and Netflix Dante just kind of gets frozen and fails at most of what he tries. Granted his failures are because someone is actively taking his autonomy away from him at every turn, but that just brings us to other problems.

The trick will be what happens after this with the show. Other shows, especially disrespectful adaptations, have started out with decent numbers and then dropped off, especially from losing faith with the audience. In this case Shankar seems to be very much adding to that problem.

I understood the joke. I guess I responded to it more seriously because we've already seen the guy behind the reboot say that Classic Dante wasn't cool because the guy thought he might be gay. Just one of his many stupid comments.

I mean, you should always have to remove the cause of the problem. Or the Disease… not the symptoms

In the case of those adaptations the cause is the shows and ideas behind them, and the symptoms include alienating the fanbase, numbers dropping off after the existing fanbase realizes the show isn't a respectful adaptation, tourists either being turned off by the allegory or checking out the source material and deciding the adaptation isn't respectful, or indeed just moving on because they're tourists, and then the show suffers losses. In this case Shankar is actively trying to annoy everyone at once in his social media presence, so we'll see.

The whole point of making an adaptation rather than a new IP is to keep the IP's existing audience, so if the adaptation chases most of them away it's already abandoned a large part of why you'd adapt something else in the first place.
 
The thing is, Mannny newcomers will have many "First Impressions" from the Adaptations. And it sort becomes like a Foundation for their ideas and feelings about the IP

Like I said, we'll see how things go from here. Shankar's allegory was rigged up to appeal to just one type of people, and then those same people went digging through his history and found there were things he said that they hated. Meanwhile that allegory annoyed pretty much everyone else. Keep in mind the show held off until the final scene to truly shove the allegorical stuff down your throat. Show was practically a test for how long it took people to realize they were being lectured again.
