Devil May Cry 4 is a conflicting game for many. However, in this video, I seek to explore why I think the game is absolutely smashing despite the issues brought forth by its development.

DMC 4 was a very bittersweet game for most fans. For over a decade, it was looking like the final game causing a lot of grief (DMC: Devil May Cry making things worse). "Dante, will we meet again?" was a really REALLY sad moment for me until DMC 5 was announced. But now it's much easier to appreciate this game.

@TheGrayAdder Месяц назад

Honestly I think DMC5 did a fair amount to boost my opinion of DmC. While I thought that the game was over hated even at the time (though it was/is very flawed and inferior to 3, 4 and 5), having it be the “end” of the series just felt AWFUL and really soured me on it. Thankfully 5 came out, nailed it, and was both critically and commercially successful, securing the series future. So now I can look back on DmC more objectively and see more of the positives of it.

@Aliens1337 Месяц назад

@@kidrobot. "Really good" wouldn't be the word for DmC lol. It's a passable action game at best. Writing: Absolute garbage. Donte constantly acts like an asshole for no reason. Literally the only people who find Donte cool are angsty middle school kids who think smoking, drinking and constant F-bombs make you look badass. Graphics: It's fine. Soundtrack is also fine. No stand out songs unlike 3, 4 and 5. Gameplay: Decent, but not like DMC 4 or DMC 5 good. Combos are very limited. No lock on at launch. Blue/Red color coded enemies requiring you to use specific weapons on specific enemies is very anti-DMC combat since the whole point of DMC combat is freedom to create whatever combos you want. It's dumb that the game forces you to use a specific weapons. No style switching, which is a series staple. Dumbed down style meter which lets you get S rank by spamming basic repeated combos. Devil Trigger is a weird time stop that breaks your combos. Plenty more of issues with gameplay but those were the main things. If you played through the game while skipping all cutscenes and pretended the garbage story didn't exist, it's an above average action game, but DMC games aren't just above average. They are the peak of action games. The only good thing you can say about DmC reboot is that at least it was better than DMC2.

@jurtheorc8117 27 дней назад

@@TheGrayAdder What's the positives in DmC for you, if it's alright to ask? My own direct experiences with games in this genre are the more uncommon ones and Darksiders 1, 2 and Genesis, plus one from 2022 by name of Soulstice. (which is *not* a Soulslike). To my understanding, Soulstice has combat inspired by DMC5, Bayonetta and DmC alike, while the story and writing feels a lot more like Darksiders. It's very good stuff which despite certain rough or divisive points, has very strong ones too and i can warmly recommend it.

So Dante knew when Nero fought Agnus the first time, got the Yamato, and it released so much power that Dante’s devil trigger went off for a moment.

@TiagoODuelista Месяц назад

I kinda liked playing with Lady despire being the characther with the smallest moveset and basically a gunslinger Dante on steroids. Fully charged Shotgun blasts are an eargasm and she has some unique moves Dante never got like a follow up attack to the Gun stinger. Although lots of her unique moves were added to DMC5 Dante in some way. Like the double jump firing Kalina Ann downward as the aerial gunslinger move, Charged Kalinna Ann shots and a nuke move with the Sin Devil trigger (that's a stretch though)

@SolidSnake240 Месяц назад

The main things that really bring DMC4 down for me is the lazy backtracking we have to do as Nero and Dante and the story/plot could've been better but dmc never had great stories so i could kinda give that one a pass. Even Vergil's campaign is just going through the same exact areas that they did. Everything else though is top tier.

Devil May Cry 4 will always be my favourite game in the series. (I haven't played DMC 5 yet, maybe that will change in the future.) The setting, the story, the characters, the bosses, the combat, the music! Honestly, the fact that the game is incomplete doesn't bother me, other than wishing we got a remake instead of the special edition. HOWEVER, where Capcom decided to place Nero in the wider world of the franchise has always baffled me. It just makes the world feel so small by just...making him Vergil's kid. On top of that, does anyone else think it makes no sense for Vergil, the guy who hates humans and his own humanity, to just hook up with a human woman, have a kid with her and then dip? Like, is it just because of his complicated connection with Sparda? Was he trying to replicate what he did with Eva? Was it part of a bigger plan? If not, then why? Making everyone related to everyone else just feels lazy. They could have expanded on the lore, themes and world-building if they'd simply disconnected Nero from the Sparda bloodline. And no, before I hear someone state that people don't care about the story of Devil May Cry, the third game was praised for its story, even the fifth game got that treatment. People care about good storytelling, I simply wish we would stop acting like this is a good plot point. ^-^'

@1Synner Месяц назад

I think the real miracle behind this game is the FACT that it's good, despite it's short comings. It was being made during a very tumultuous time for Capcom (when they wanted to westernize EVERYTHING, undercutting or over-inflating budgets, cancelling projects years in the making, or pushing out poorly received titles), with this game having a combination of time and budget cuts AND direct interference from Capcom's westernization push. Yet, despite all of the headaches and the less than stellar story and MASSIVE corners cut (the backtracking being the worst offender), the game itself was polished to a mirror shine, played perfectly on both the PS3 and 360 at a locked 60fps (which was rare for multi-platform games at the time), and had VERY LITTLE major (or even minor) glitches (I only ever got a temporary freeze during a Bloody Palace run). The game also looked excellent in it's environmental, visual, and art design on top of it all, and still looks like a very pretty game to this day. On top of all of that, there are tonnes of fun gameplay quirks that only this game has, and there are deliberate features and interactions that few even know about to this day (like that bosses have multiple grab animations)

@delusion5867 27 дней назад

Honestly, the polished mechanics, the optimization, and the effort put into the visuals are the saving graces of DMC4, even if the recycled and unfinished content holds it back. Don't quote me on this, but I remember hearing that DMC4 got the same budget as DMC3, which was definitely not enough for a game on brand-new consoles and a different engine. But, luckily, they used what they had of a budget to go towards the key element of DMC, the gameplay. The art and environment design for DMC4 might just be my favourite in the series. Fortuna just looks so damn pretty. Same with Fortuna Castle, and the order headquarters. As much as I love 5, they really should have channelled some of that stylisation into it. The realism is cool and technically impressive, but it wears off after a while (don't get me started on how stale the Qliphoth levels get by the end of the game). All I can hope for with DMC6 is that they bring a bit of style back to the visuals and environment

@1Synner 27 дней назад

@@delusion5867 As far as budgets go, I heard something similar, only that they DID get more money at first, before it was scaled back to a "DMC3 budget", hence why I refer to budget cuts. Like I said, Capcom was behaving VERY weird in the late 00s and early 2010s with all manner of issues. And, yeah, I can see it. Personally, I actually don't mind the semi-realistic look of DMC5. Reminds me a lot of MGS4 in style. My favorite area that pulls it off masterfully had to be Mission 2, with the Hotel (such a beautifully haunting area). Also, I kinda dig the "Qliphoth root fusing to everything" look, as it did have some rather bizarre architecture and decoration that it pulled off, but I'm not gonna sit here and say its art design was better than 4. 4 just kinda felt like I was wandering through Italy again, but in a more fantastical, demon infested way which is always a thumbs up for me, lol. And yes, Fortuna Castle is also my favorite. Gotta love snowy, haunted castles. I mean, I get it. They deliberately made the artstyle look semi-realistic (ala MGS4) because they wanted this to truly be a "AAA experience" in terms of visuals (as they have said they tried to push visual extremes and styles with DMC games from 3 onward), and they certainly pulled it off with the RE Engine, but a DMC6 with an artstyle closer to 3 or 4 would probably be pretty awesome.

@delusion5867 26 дней назад

@@1Synner The first half of DMC5 was great visually, and I can distinguish the early levels in my mind. I really like how they blended the antique and modern look with Redgrave (even though the city was half destroyed). It also gave some unique arenas for fighting, the church against Goliath, V's more underground levels, the subway. The Qliphoth levels just fuse together in the end and the arenas end up basically the same, that being: big round red room. That's really my main gripe. Honestly, polished graphics but with the art style of 3/4 could and would be beautiful. Now I'm imagining it... damn, they need to remaster 3 (any excuse to play 3 again is good enough for me)

I like that they added a second currency for skills. Buying healing items to keep you alive in the older games always came with the side effect of slowing your skill progression down. In the first one you might be better off dying and trying again to stay on the curve with abilities, blue and purple orbs since replaying missions was impossible, making grinding options limited.

@QMMarc 19 дней назад

I loved playing as Lady personally, all teh charge shots and positioning gameplay is really fun, and Kalina Ann's max charge shot is a goddamn nuclear bomb, you're grounded when you charge so again, positioning and timing, but it feels so good to see a health bar get obliterated by it, especially when it causes a boss to stager so you do it again to basically end the fight. About Turbo, this is something that i alway wish i could use, but the fact that you gotta mash even faster to use certain moves is a deal breaker for my hand is broke af, there's a mod of DMCV with hold to mash, i wish DMC4 got a mod like that too. I love DMC4, but i gotta admit, the enemy roster is one of the most annoying in the series, i hate the flying swords, i hate the tree dudes, i hate the infected enemies and they appear sooo much, 3 had stinkers sure, but the fact that fun enemies can be infected into annoying by the tree dudes bothers me a lot, i get that the challenge is to prevent that for happening but i dont give a shit i dont like it.

DMC 4 was my first ever DMC game, and is still my most favorite in the series, and one of the most beloved in all of my gaming. It is so close to perfection... Also fuck playing as Vergil feels damn good there. I vastly prefer 4th artstyle and designs over 5th, and even the story of the latter is not much better, if not worse. As to gameplay I can't say, haven't played 5th as much due to weak gpu.

Same end result but slightly different path getting there. Whatever the case may be, I liked this game. It feels weird to say I like the world more, if perhaps not the level designs, than DmC, if only because I liked walking through a cohesive castle rather than DmC's collection of hovering clutter... even if the grappling hook action made for cooler set pieces than DMC4, I never really felt connected to the levels themselves in that game.

@tropitropitropo Месяц назад

I have to disagree on leveling up styles with orbs instead of with exp. Leveling styles with experience is the better option because that allows the player to get used to that style and truly understand it as it levels up. Otherwise, if you level up the style with orbs, what happens is that you don't really understand what you're capable of with said style, and if you level it up to the max, then you'd have too many moves which you will not be able to put into combos in as confortable a manner as the exp option due to not having experience (pun not intended) with the style. And that wouldn't be bad if you only had 1 style, but that's not the case. We have 4. And you can change to them anytime. That's too much information for a player to handle when it's given in a fast manner, specially considering that DMC4 and 5 are supposed to be entry points for new players. A better option would be reducing the amount of exp required to level up a style instead of leveling them up with orbs, which don't even requiere the player to use the style before upgrading it. Just my 2 cents.

I’ve always said that DMC4 would be the best DMC if Dante had his own levels and bosses. Would have been insane.

@OtakuJuanma2 Месяц назад

Wait... was there ever a time where people thought Nero was Dante's son? When dmc4 was being showcased on magazines all my knowledge was dmc3, and not even all of it, but I immediately saw him and instinctually knew it was Vergil's mostly from design choices. Seeing him interact with Yamato when I played it years later made me nod.

@OneWingedAngel849 Месяц назад

Can't really complain about Dante's implementation and going back through the same stages because the story does take place throughout those stages and they've been doing that with Vergil since DmC 3.

You may not be aware of this but Dante was supposed to have his missions in Hell and then come out and do some of the missions in Nero's playthrough but not all of it! If you look at the DMC4 Concept Art, you'll see some cut content that never made it to the gme itself!

Yea the 2nd half kinda ruined my playthrough. The gameplay systems are really good but it gets really tedious to play the same game twice basically

@staticblast1 Месяц назад

So fun fact about me: I never got that Nero was Vergil's son until 5 straight up told me. In my defense, I played 4 before I played 3, and when I did play 3, it gave me the impression that Vergil wouldn't sleep with a woman(or at least not a human one). What I always thought was that since Sparda did his whole kick demons back into hell thing ages ago, and was living peacefully(more or less) until Mundas found him, that Nero *was* a descendent of Sparda, just a...distant one. That Sparda had a relationship with a human long before he had one with Dante's mom, and Nero is a descendent of that line. It explained to me why Nero seemed so much weaker than Dante and why he didn't have a true devil trigger: He was simply too human by that point, the demon blood in him too diluted. His demon arm? Genetic mutation, that's why it's just kinda stuck that way instead of being able to turn it off like Dante and Vergil can with their devil forms. Looking back, yeah, I was dumb.

The only difference from the game was the voice of Lady and the cutscene that focuses on Lady rather than Trish.

I enjoyed this version of Dante the most, he was still Dante but he was older and more mature. Even his quips were more experienced.

@DarkShaman667 Месяц назад

I like 4. I agree with most of the points, but not all of them. I have finished the story 35 times, gotten all the achievements of the original twice and then once of the Special Edition. After watching this, I think I have to revisit the story ... a 36th time.

@ericbelnades1257 Месяц назад

Capcom was right; you don't have DMC without Dante. He's basically the perfect action hero of videogames and character to play as.

@Youngphyconaut Месяц назад

I actually 100% DMC 4 it's an incredible game with lots of depth. Despite the unfinished aspects all the characters feel great to play and once you master the combat each character feels great to play.

@LeonSKennedy-b9v Месяц назад

DMC4 falls into that category of "flawed masterpiece" that few games fall into (usually unfinished games with incredible gameplay). It shares the spot with Metal Gear Solid V for the best unfinished games of all time

@OwO377 Месяц назад

True for make it even faster movement which if someone play before dmc4 appear the movement walk beside battle combat fell slow so yeah good thing to change the speed movement for once.

The reason Dante goes backwards through the campaign was to kill the demons that Nero didn’t and destroy the hell gates

Great video J, can’t wait for DMC 5. However, I don’t know if it’s just me, just I HATE Dante with a beard. It makes him lose some of that cool factor.

I think there's a secret button combo you can use on the character select screen on certain missions that takes the beard and pre-time jump hair off.

Tbh it's already so good but 4SE's additional characters and movesets complete it, I still want to play as Vergil but I dont have the game or a proper system because he looks extremely fun to play as especially with Force Edge and FE there is perfect, 3's wasnt that fun but not horrible.

@michaelandreipalon359 Месяц назад

Not as great as 3, which is inevitable, but not as bad as 2 and that reboot. That's already a neat enough quality status as it is. And besides, it sure paved the way for the bigger and maybe even better DMC5, which should be a fine endgame to the Dante+Vergil saga

DMC4 was Great, but it was definitely not Perfect, the Game felt really Rushed, Unfinished and all of the Content was Recycled in the 2nd Half (Dante Missions) hince is where it all started going Downhill, DMC4's Sales Numbers was supposed to surpass DMC3's Sales Numbers, though it wasn't a Failure and managed to become somewhat Successful, but it did not exceeded Capcom's expectations, So DMC4 essentially (almost) killed the Franchise where it went Dorment for a whole Decade until DMC5 was finally made.
