"Killing demons and being cool!" It's not the official tagline of Devil May Cry, but it should be. The DMC series, beginning in the PS2 era, was among the earliest and arguably most influential of the modern 3D 'hack n slash' action games, and, though not quite a top-tier flagship series, maintains a sizable and very enthusiastic fanbase. Primarily starring Dante, a wacky woohoo pizza man who likes killing demons and being cool- because hey, who doesn't- as well as, formerly, his awesome brother Vergil (see what they did, there?), and recently his idiot punk sidekick Nero, DMC is, well, an action game about killing demons and being cool. What more do you need?
It's weird, it's ridiculously over the top, and it's awesome.
Does the idea of a game where a man rides around on a motorcycle which magically transforms into two pieces which he then wields like swords and uses to kill demons- and be cool- sound awesome? Trick question: Yes it does.
Welcome to Devil May Cry.
Part 0! Get caught up with the snazzy ‘History of DMC’ cutscene, then experience Mission 0 starring nobody’s favorite, The Non Legendary Devil Hunter, Nero!
Can Nero defeat Urizen the Demon King?
Since The Legendary Devil Hunter, Dante himself (see my ‘Dante First Mission’ video- which is, chronologically, before the Mission 0 Prologue, which is kind of confusing, but Devil May Cry is weird like that- from a couple weeks ago for more!) could not prevail against the mighty Demon King Urizen, who is the big boss of the game, and this is still just the Prologue- I think it’s safe to say that no, he probably can’t.
Or perhaps he can...
(He really can’t though.)
But still! Let’s see what happens, and we can all point and laugh at Nero when he inevitably fails, just like everything else in his life! Ha! Loser! (If you can’t tell, I really don’t like Nero.)
And finally, the hilariously over the top, but still awesome intro cutscene from the trailer, with that ‘Devil Trigger’ joint, which is pretty sweet, NGL.
Let’s rock, baby!
Tonight... on "Kyle Plays the Video Games!"
NOTE: Unlike most of my videos (of which many do, in fact, exist on YT, I just haven't reuploaded many yet, but I will, because YT is assho), this series actually has some (very) basic editing. 'Basic' as in 'I cut out most of the really boring parts from the original livestream', but hey, it's progress. Don't worry though- it's still not particularly great, and I'm not the best at playing it (though to be fair, it's a pretty tough game, and the controls are absolute garbage, and the camera/lock on system is even more garbage- it's garbasity is of a truly heinous degree.) So there's that.
