I Failed At Anime 2022


Devil May Cry is a stylish action game series loved worldwide for its colorful characters, deep and cool gameplay, and for just being dang fun games. Created in 2001 out of the remains of Resident Evil 4, Hideki Kamiya created the first game in what would become a series and would be helmed by Hideaki Itsuno from 2 and on. The general premise of DMC is you play as a dude named Dante, whose occupation is a demon hunter. You progress through a linear story fighting demons and other various rivals to solve whatever job Dante has been hired for. Throughout the story Dante will employ various means to fight demons whether they be his signature sword or turning higher level demons into weapons with unique abilities to use for himself. This series in notable in being on Capcom's biggest franchises throughout the 2000s and to this day still has a healthy following which can only be said for series like Street Fighter and Resident Evil.

Enough about the background lets talk about the gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaames



Dante Actor: Drew Coombs
Released in 2001
PS2, PS3, 360

The first game in the series. Dante is visited by a woman named Trish, who resembles Dante's mother. She takes him to Mallet Island to defeat Mundus and free the island from his evil. Beyond being the game that started the series, this was the only mainline DMC game that wasn't directed by Hideaki itsuno, but Hideki Kamiya, creator and director of Resident Evil 2 prior to DMC. DMC1's inception was actually during RE4's development when the game resemble an action more than a traditional horror game. Instead of scrapping the idea, RE4 director, Shinji Mikami, decided to approach Kamiya and ask him to make a new game out of it. Kamiya decided to use a glitch that they found from Onimusha: Warlords to inspire the stylish gameplay that would be turned into DMC. DMC is very different from later DMC games. While it does inspire a lot of their conventions, it's also very obvious that DMC was originally an RE title due to the number of puzzles using specific items you pick up along the way, horror elements, and generally static camera angle. DMC is not as fast or tight as some of the later games, but it is still a fantastic game in its own right.

DMC's unique qualities that put it above other action games around the time was the freedom of movement of the characters and combos. Dante is able to jump around and move very quickly to fight against his enemies who more often than not just as mobile and powerful. Dante gets a variety of weapons such as the lightning sword, Alastor; the fire gauntlets, Ifrit; and Dante's father's sword, the Force Edge, which would transform into a multi-purpose sword that turns into other kinds of weapons. Dante employs a number of firearms as well for long-range capabilities such as handguns, a shotgun, and the Nightmare, a demon weaopn which fires lasers that rebound off of surfaces. DMC also employed a ranking system which rewarded you for learning the game and getting better, maintaining a higher stylish rank is seen as its own reward by a lot of fan.

Pros & Cons
+Started Devil May Cry
+Cool gameplay
+Cool weapons
+Nelo Angelo
+Dante
+Hideki Kamiya
-Static camera angles could get aggravating in confined spaces needed to maneuver
-Underwater shooting sections
-Frosts
-Dante not voiced by Reuben Langdon yet

The second game in the series. DMC2 follows Dante as he is contracted by Lucia to go to Dumary Island and stop a businessman named Arius from summoning the greatest evil, Argosax. DMC2 is the first game directed by Hideaki Itsuno and uh... it's not very good. DMC2 is considered the worst DMC game by a large portion of its fanbase for a multitude of reasons, the main one being that the game is shallow compared to DMC. Dante has nowhere near the same number of weapons, all of his devil arms now being replaced by swords that have the same movelist and a gameplay mechanic where you can augment your Devil Trigger that's not very well thought out. Damage is generally lowered all around and guns are the most efficient way to kill anything, p much. It attempts to capture a lot of what made DMC1 great without really understanding what made it great and as such it is a poorly designed mess in about every way.

To say it is without it merits is wrong though, DMC2 has contributed to the series even if it wasn't competently. It gave Dante a cool new coat and Rebellion, the sword that would become Dante's signature weapon in games to follow. It established Bloody Palace and other playable characters besides Dante in Trish and Lucia. Finally, it gave us the Despair Embodied, probably the only halfway decently designed boss in the game with really good music.

PROS & CONS
+Cool Dante coat
+Despair Embodied
+Bloody Palace
+Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I guess Desperation Devil Trigger was cool?
-lovely bosses
-Guns are best way to fight sometimes
-Schizophrenic enemy design
-Reusing DMC1 bosses poorly
-Argosax the Chaos
-Lucia
-UNDERWATER SECTIONS ARE YOU loving KIDDING ME
-Corrupted Helicopter
-Costed DMC3 sales
-Dante doesn't talk
-No Pizza :(

The third game in the series. DMC3 is a prequel to DMC1 that follows the story of a 19-Year Old Dante before he became a demon hunter for hire. Dante's brother, Vergil, has erected a tower that he plans to use to take their father, Sparda's, power and Dante must stop him before his plans come to fruition and humanity is doomed. DMC3 is where Itsuno figured out why people liked the game and went into the direction further. DMC3 is fun. Pure unadulterated fun. Everyone in the game is choreographed like their lives are an over the top martial arts move to the point where Dante sitting down to eat pizza is the most dramatic thing as he flips over his chair by kicking it. It takes Dante's joking character from DMC1 and throws it up to 11 to the point where is snarking to everyone imagineable with goofy one-liners. The weapons are all outrageous distortions of well-established weapons like ice nunchuks, a pair of brother swords using wind and fire, and a LITERAL electric guitar. This would also be the game that establishes styles. Styles are different modes for Dante where it prioritizes a part of him for combat and gives you unique options specific to that style. The Special Edition released a year later allowed you to play as Vergil with all of his weapons that he used in the game.

Swordmaster- Prioritizes Devil Arms giving Dante access to an arsenal of moves for his Devil Arms
Gunslinger -Prioritzes Firearms giving Dante more moves for his guns to use them in differing situations.
Trickster - Prioritizes movement and evasion giving Dante teleports, air dashes, and a ground dash he can use to expertly avoid and outmaneuver his opponents.
Royalguard - Prioritizes defense giving Dante an actual guard option which absorbs damage if you guard at the perfect time and lets you throw the damage back to your opponent.
Quicksilver - Slows down time.
Doppelganger - Gives Dante a shadow double letting you effectively play with two Dantes.

DMC3 would create the formula for Devil May Cry to come leaning towards more linear stage structure and simplistic puzzles, but more combat depth and stylish gameplay.

PROS & CONS
+Reuben Langdon
+Tons of cool weapons
+Styles
+Half of the bosses are unique and fun
+Vergil
+Vergil's boss themes
+Mo-cap choreography allowing for over the top and cool cutscenes
+Lady
+Shotgun is really good
+Devil Triggers designed by Kazuma Kaneko
+Pizza :)
-Enemy design is better, but still sort of lackluster
-The other half of the bosses suck
-Arkham
-Vergil's kind of fun, but really limited
-Stage structure isn't great either and fixed camera can be lovely in certain areas still



Dante Actor: Reuben Langdon
Released in 2008, SE 2015
PS3, 360, PC, PS4, XBO

The fourth entry in the series. DMC4 follows Nero, a new character who is a member of the Order of the Sword, a religious group which worships Sparda like a god. Dante busts into one of their sermons one day and blasts the High Priest in the face. From here on Nero hunts down Dante to get revenge with his sword, gun, and his new demon possessed arm, the Devil Bringer. DMC4 is a controversial game in the series. Along with replacing fan favorite protagonist Dante, for a new guy, it also is clearly lacking in some areas such as the stage design. A common complaint with the game is that it repeats itself in the second half when you get control of Dante and you just run backwards through the game. Another complaint is the story is really bare bones and not well done, unlike DMC3's which, while typical, was a full story with decent structure and character to it. Overall though, reception of DMC4 was largely positive on release and as time has gone on it has become a more beloved game in the series. It helps that the next game we're going to talk about exists.

DMC4 makes a lot of changes from DMC3. First if the camera which is controlled by the player now for the most part. Nero is another big change in aside from him just not being Dante, his weapon set never changes. Over the course of the game Nero gets more moves for all of his weapons and a very different Devil Trigger from Dante to help set him apart and give him a unique style. Halfway through the game you switch to Dante who can now change styles on the fly and keeps all of his weapons on him all of the time. Unfortunately, you are not able to go through the game from start to finish with Dante first but Bloody Palace allows you to play as either. The PC Version added an extra difficulty to the game in Legendary Dark Knight mode which essentially turns DMC into Dynasty Warriors, filling the screen with enemies. 7 years later, Itsuno would put out the special edition, on top of all of the additions the PC version had exclusive to it, it adds 3 different characters. Returning Vergil and Trish and featuring playable for the first time, Lady, Dante's companion from DMC3. They all play through the same story missions Dante and Nero do with their own unique opening and ending scenes, but that is the only difference aside from playable characters of course. Vergil's own story is him going through all 20 missions and Lady & Trish are like Nero & Dante switching off between one another when appropriate.

PROS & CONS
+Half of the bosses are cool and fun
+Credo
+Style switching on the go
+Buster
+Reuben Langdon
+Johnny Yong Bosch
+Credo's theme
+Devil Triggers are all super cool
+5 Playable Characters
+Overall good enemy design
+Uncle Dante taking his nephew Nero out fishing
+IS SANITY THE PRICE TO PAY
+FOR POWER!?

-Stage design is half there
-Fausts are assholes
-The other half of the bosses aren't that great
-The story is pretty mediocre
-Kyrie
-Dante and Trish can only fight Credo in Bloody Palace
-Sanctus and Savior Sanctus
-THE SAVIOR IS COMING
-Dante's shotgun is bad, Lady's is broken
-LADY EATS DANTE'S LAST SLICE OF PIZZA :argh:



Dante Actor: Tim Phillips
Released in 2013, DE 2015
PS3, 360, PC, PS4, XBO

The fifth entry in the series and a reboot. DmC follows Dante, a half-angel, half-demon hybrid known as a Nephilim. Dante is employed by a group know as the Order to fight off a demon known as Mundus, whom masquerades as a businessman. To fight the demons of Limbo City, Dante must move in and out of a place in reality known as Limbo which is the only place that is possible to see demons. To accomplish this Dante will use demon and angel arms granted to him by his mother, Eva, and his father, Sparda, to fight through an army of Demons and defeat Mundus. DmC is the only game in the series not developed by the Little Devils team and is instead developed by a western group, Ninja Theory. To say DmC is a controversial game is to say the sky is sorta blue. On top of a large shift in tone from previous games, DmC having an entire new developer who was only known for developing mediocre action games prior did not set anyone's life on fire.

DmC tonally is cruder and grosser than other DMC games. It makes actual attempts at satire, parody, and being generally mean-spirited. Gone is the over the top fun style that DMC used to have, now replaced with a fat man walking down the street drinking virility as he farts onto a billboard of a naked man hiding many They Live references. But how's the gameplay? ...Not bad, but not good for a DMC game. If this game was titled anything else, this was would be an okay action game, unfortunately it is called Devil May Cry. The gameplay is far less complex now having replaced lock-on for two dodge buttons and shoulder buttons you hold to change weapons now simulating the style of Heavenly Sword, another Ninja Theory game. None of the weapons feel particularly unique or inspired with exception of Aquila maybe and all of your feels really clunky and lovely. To top it all off the game ranks you almost solely on damage, so it is not difficult to maintain your SSS ranking, so what was once a fun challenge to impose upon yourself is something you can do on accident. DmC is not a bad game, whenever the game lets you play it it can actually be kinda fun, but unfortunately it is too entrenched in poor enemy design and platforming gimmicks to do that. NT attempted to rectify a lot of the game's problems with the Definitive Edition and while they legitimately put forth an effort, it still has a lot of problems that couldn't just be fixed by changing damage values and the style meter.

PROS & CONS
+Game can be sort of fun at points
+Bob Barbas is actually an okay boss fight that is also kind of funny
+Aquila
+Visual Design overall is okay
+The Definitive Edition was an actual attempt to fix the game's problems
+Gave us DMC4SE Vergil
+Mike Kob
-Bad boss design
-Bad enemy design
-Platforming sections are boring and simple
-Why would you use anything other than the Arbiter?
-The music is terrible
-Baby Sighted
-Awful dialogue
-Awful characters
-Washed out color palette
-Tameem Antoniades
-Devil Trigger sucks
-Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy did a game series that started in 2001 and was doing well need a reboot, why capcom

Dante Voice: Toshiyuki Morikawa, Reuben Langdon
Released in 2007
DVD, Blu-Ray

Devil May Cry the Animated Series is 12-episodes long and follows Dante in his day to day life, but he has been tasked with taking care of a little girl named Patty Lowell. The anime series is generally not very well-regarded by fans due to how boring it can be and how little action there is. If you go into it expecting "Dante's wacky daily life" you might get more out of it, but otherwise it's overall just kind of disappointing. It's still very easy to get thanks to Funimation obtaining the license and redistributing it and it's incredibly cheap to get either the DVD or Blu-Ray.

PROS & CONS
+Reuben Langdon in the anime
+The music is loving great
+Madhouse
+Highway Star
+Rolling Thunder
+Death Poker
+Strawberry Sundaes
-Kinda boring
-There is an entire episode about this loving dude tailing Dante because he thinks his girlfriend is loving him and oh my god i dont caaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee
-The villain sucks
-Japanese Dante is not Reuben Langdon
-ADV was not able to afford Danielle Burgio and Kari Wahlgren to voice Trish and Lady so they're just houston vas
-Patty would be fine if her storyline wasn't overarching and the ending to her story didn't loving suck



There are six Devil May Cry books out there, two of them are light novels, two are prequel mangas to DMC3, and the last two are manga of DMC4 which never got translated to english. It's really hard to talk about because a lot of them are about nothing really. I've only read the prequel DMC3 mangas and they got discontinued before they could do Code 3: Lady which was supposed to wrap everything up. I just remember a lot of grungy and lovely art, Dante talking about Neil Sedaka records and a pre-amazon warrior Lady.



Dante has appeared in all sorts of other games, here are other games featuring Da Demon Hunta

-Viewtiful Joe

Viewtiful Joe is another game directed by Hideki Kamiya and it is one of the greatest stylish action games ever featuring really fun gameplay that uses speed mechanics in cool ways. Dante is a playable character in the PS2 copy where he is entirely a separate character from Joe. He even has a different story and dialogue recorded by his DMC1 actor, Drew Coombs. Trish gets kidnapped instead of Sylvia and Dante has to save her. His sword, Alastor, is also in the game as an actual character and Dante has a storyline with him where Alastor left him to be in Viewtiful Joe because he hit Alastor too hard on an enemy, it's really good. When Dante loses his henshin he is in a speedo, play it. Dante and a myriad of other DMC characters are also playable in the PSP version of Viewtiful Joe Red Hot Rumble, it's p cool.

-SMT

Made by the guys who would later make Persona 3 & 4 & Devil Survivor, Dante has appeared in one Shin Megami Tensei game, Nocturne. He is an enemy of the protagonist, but is also recruitable later in the game. He has his DMC2 look, but still snarks and fights like you know him. In the rerelease of Nocturne later exclusive to Japan, they replaced him with some loser high schooler in a cap.

-Project X Zone

A crossover SRPG that is really boring to play. All of the characters are paired together in teams and you press specific button combinations to have them perform their moves. Dante is paired with Demitri from Darkstalkers in the first game and in the second game coming out soon he is paired with Vergil from DMC3.

-Marvel vs Capcom

A fighting game series made by Capcom that varies in quality depending on the number in the title. Dante was one of the first characters introduced in Marvel vs Capcom 3 alongside Deadpool and is his DMC3 interation featuring pretty much all of his styles, weapons, moves and everything. He's a crazy character that's really fun to play. Trish is also playable in her DMC1 iteration using Sparda & Luce & Umbra. In Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Vergil was added using his DMC3 iteration where he does everything in the world and nothing else.

-Playstation All Stars Battle Royale

A fighting-party what the gently caress ever game made by Superbot Entertainment that crosses over sony mascots. Ignore the fact that Big Daddy and other non-Sony specific characters are in the game, it has Dante playable! From DmC...



REUBEN LANGDON

Why do I keep mentioning this dude's name? Reuben Langdon is a cool dude who's been voicing Dante since DMC3. On top of just being a really good voice for the character, the dude has done mo-cap work for Dante in everything on top of co-founding his own mo-cap studio, Just Cause Productions, where he also did mo-cap work for Chris Redfield in RE5. When DMC3 came out, he also did the live-action commercial for Japan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaX1-T9LY9A

When the DMC anime came around to get dubbed too, that dude took a pay cut just to voice this character, he's awesome. He is currently voicing Ken Masters in the Street Fighter series, but did return to voice Dante in the DMC4 Special Edition and will hopefully continue to voice him in future stuff. Please acknowledge him and love him.

Vergil 3 is nowhere near as tough and scary as Vergil 2. Like the only thing Vergil 3 has over 2 is that force edge lets him round trip and Judgment Cut can be intimidating the first time you fight him, otherwise he's a lot more passive and easy to punch in the face. He's nowhere near as Terminator-like as he is as Vergil 1 and 2.

I disagree. Vergil 2 was a cakewalk for me compared to Vergil 1. Yamato is pretty quick, but once he starts using Beowulf he telegraphs like crazy.

He does but he's still aggressive which is why that fight is more fun. Vergil 1 and 2 are both a ton of fun and 3 was just sort of a letdown because there are a decent amount of stretches where he will do nothing but wait for you to attack him and you either get a free combo which he will then teleport out of or break, both of which give you enough to dodge roll or jump over him for anything he throws out.

The Korra game didn't suck, it was just clearly held back by being a budget game. It's decent fun for the amount it costs.

This argument doesn't work when Transformers has about the same amount of play time and development time and is a much better game despite being three times the price at launch. Mind you I would probably be a bit miffed if I spent 50 for it, but it's a drat solid game regardless.

It's not really the Korra team. The same person directed both games, and they share some staff, but that's it (and most Platinum games have a good deal of staff overlap anyway - the company isn't divided up into teams).

I've been under the implication for a while that even though Platinum is an independent studio they do have separate teams since they are running a lot of projects concurrently, but I suppose this is possible.


PaletteSwappedNinja posted:

The higher price implies they spent more money making it (ie the team was bigger).

Of course, we don't actually know what any of these games cost to make but the Activision deal proves that you can only squeeze so much blood out of a stone.

Yeah, I wouldn't really account for the pricing meaning much other than "Activision." It's never come off to me like they've allowed more time, money, or a bigger team for any of the three games separate from the other.

So DMC5 could have you be some other character and then Dante shows up later, (I wouldn't really care for that personally) but even then they'd still probably bring back the original Dante voice actor right?

I have a hard time believing they would bring Drew Coombs back when he fell off the face of the earth in like 2006 and no one's heard or seen him in anything since then. Also the DMC anime used Reuben Langdon for Dante and that takes place after DMC1. It's really a lot simpler than I feel you're making it out to be for yourself, they wouldn't change his voice at this point since Langdon is always up for doing it. He will however change his tone and style and you are absolutely correct that Dante in 3 and 4 are very different performances even if they are very much still silly dudes.

Uncle Wemus posted:

Does dante age normally? Have they said when he ias born i know the games kinda take place in a pseudo modern day with motorcycles and strippers but theres an awful lot of swords.

Dante's 19 in DMC3 and that's all we really know about him age wise and he seems age like a regular dude since he's got five o clock shadow in DMC4 and does look noticeably older than in DMC1. The setting for DMC is always kinda strange because it changes styles between architecture and location in games so much but DMC1 and 3 are supposed to take place in America and 4 is in some european country.
