And to further deliniate, are we talking about Dante, or Donté?

DmC: Devil May Cry is a perfectly serviceable game.
It just isn't a great DMC game, but neither was DMC2 so there are worse things to defend really.

Hbomb would make a video about how the Holocaust never happened and that Captain America: Winter Soldier is not a better movie than the 70s spy movies that it pretends to channel, and I'd personally find the latter idea more objectionable.

Let's not ascribe ideas to Hbomb, or really anyone, just based on the fact we disagree with them, especially when that involves saying "Hbomb would make a video denying the holocaust". That just seems like a bad way to go about things.

To be fair I never really got into DMC in general prior to that one, I missed em when they were popular and DMC3's pc version didn't run well on the machine i had at the time. Maybe I should go back to them. I wanna do more videos where I play every game in a series and report back on the experience, that's probably one for the list.

I'm flying to japan this year to get a single shot I wanna use for a throwaday joke at the end of one of those videos so

DmC is a game for people who don't like devil may cry games but thought they probably should like them

this is the most accurate thing ever written about DmC

You're forgiven. I guess DMC is alright if played in a void like that, no better or worse than any other given God of War clone.

Sly 1 definitely had the best soundtrack which I still hum to this day

The minigames were soooooooooo god awful though, Sly 2 gets points mostly because I love the whole idea that each level is building to some big heist.

Plus I remember watching this making of doc all the time for some reason since there were secret videos in the menu

Agreed. While Sly 1 is definitely the most derivative installment of the series from a platform genre perspective, it also felt the most focused. The blend of stealth and platforming mechanics worked really well. That combined with the forgiving nature of the platforming made for a game that had a really nice focus on rhythm and flow, while eschewing the sometimes frustrating pixel perfect precision that some platformers require.

The sequels' introduction of the open world system, while fairly novel and unique, led to a lot of the the solid level design of the first game being discarded. Instead they replaced it with other elements that felt kind of unpolished, like combat and upgrade systems.

The PC port of DMC3 is one of the most unserviceable console ports ever made so well yeah. DMC3 and DMC4 are seen as the high-points of the franchise.
