"Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat" is Not Just Bad...

Hey if you liked this, check out my look at the DMC 2 Definitive Edition mod that does a surprisingly good job at fixing the games combat https://youtu.be/zwBC4-sqPP4

Just…… 🤦🏼‍♂️ first 5 minutes of playing I got $100 Vergil micro transaction thrown in my face. Actually crazy.

The fact that if you run out pizza you need to pay to play is insane☠️☠️☠️☠️

Pros and cons: Pros: Fire inside track Cons: Everything else

Turns out the game wasn't the peak of combat. Damn.

Legit because comparing 1.0 to 2.0 we lost Weapon switching Guns Delayed inputs Directional inputs A style meter that actually goes down Taunts Style switching A proper upgradeable health bar All for Hero swapping and thus more microtransactions and limited movesets A pretty good dmc track

What's really messed up about this is that the ads were showing 1.0 combat... Many fans were given false hope while people in the betas like me were trying to let them know the real nature of it.

This game really is an incredible achievement. People said it couldn't be done, but NebulaJoy has defied all the odds and done the impossible. They made a game worse than DMC2.

Shoutout to all 2 DMC content creators who were hyping this game up like it was going to be the best game ever made.

Played the old demo before, it was a fun experience and i'm surprised they were able to create a DMC game on mobile without removing its core mechanics. It's a shame they dumbed it down to Honkai/Genshin Impact type of gameplay

You know it’s bad when a game has to resort to shitposting to advertise itself

Coming from someone that played both combat 1.0 and 2.0; this game broke my heart. I had so much expectations and when I saw this change I couldn’t understand why the devs would do this

one thing that is sad, is that the devs put so much effort in creating Lady moveset, she has a way better gameplay than the ranged one that Itsuno gave to her on DMC4SE

I think games regardless of if they're gacha or not can be good. Take PGR, I've heen playing it for nearly 2 years and never spent a dime on it, managed to get all the characters I wanted at SS rank without any issues. It's a fun game, and it's a good game with an amazing story. POC is a prime example of a bad game with a bad gacha system, in PGR every character has their own unique "frame" with it's own moveset and gimmick, and thus feel like a complete character. The issue with POC is splitting up characters with weapons and moves very familiar to us DMC fans and locking them behind a shitty gacha system that is essentially a paywall. DMC doesn't work well with gacha, it never should've been one in the first place.

Insanely good video, whenever I remember that combat 1.0 was ACTUALLY a thing and is most likely never coming back, it just makes me boot up dmc3/4 and think of what couldve been

I think what bothered me at the end of the day is that its very first prototype had some of the most genuinely satisfying combat in the franchise but then capcom said "dummy it down, we're looking for a casual crowd" ...that. is what pissed me off. I don't care about gacha I don't care about daily limits But if you try to strip gameplay by force to encourage multiple players that effectively become the exact same character when the first version of dante can handle all this shit by himself, You have failed the biggest test of game design: Full Player control ...not to mention the translation is god awful its full of mistranslations, missing dialog its like as if it was a earlier of google translate translation it's painfully bad I picked up scarlet nexus for Christmas and after that never touched this game again because holy shit that game was way better as an action platformer

The fact that you get a free “selection pull” and then have to pay 60 to keep the results is insane this is usually a free thing in gacha games

Brother you are underrated af and i really appreciate you working on these videos. DMC3 was my childhood and this is hell of a wierd game

For me the problem with POC is the requirement of energy to play, with energy I mean "pizza"

The fact that you have to pay 70€ for the first "10 pulls" when it is advertised as -90% and a regular 10 pulls is 30€ is INSANE
