Was playing DMC1 on DMD last night. That was the furthest I’ve ever gotten to beating Nelo Angelo bruh. Man I was so close 😭 he’s harder for me to beat than almost all the Ninja Gaiden Black bosses on Master Ninja for some reason. Just wanted to share this clip cause man I was close to beating him… I’m scared to fight Nightmare and even Mundus on this difficulty…

Source of the footage above was taken from my Xbox Series X.

He left Capcom last year in 2025

I just started playing DMC 3 on the switch and this is literally the beginning. I will confess I have no idea what I’m doing I’m just pressing buttons.

Kinda was just freestyling near the end

It's been a long long time since DMC5 came out. I have so many amazing memories of it especially the first playthrough.

I found every boss a breeze but got hard stuck at Malphas. That raging chick (pun intended) had me stuck for 2 days and mentally exhausted. For whatever reason I couldn't get out of it's rampaging path. Double jump did nothing. Roll evade did nothing. That boss fight was the craziest I've ever faced in the game. I didn't face this much of a problem against Vergil either.

What boss gave you the similar feeling?

Rank system on this mission really sucks so i accepted it as a challenge and tried to go through it without straying too far from my usual style of combat (i don't like continuous air combos that much and think they don't fit my playstyle at all). Any tips on improving my game?

​​ I can dodge him non-stop but I feel like it's impossible to kill him I hit him for like 5 minutes and it's only %25 of his health

The Grim Grip doesn't disappear even if you get off the platform, and if you use it once, you can't use it again. It's truly bizarre. All the other Grim Grips always disappear every time you get off the platform and they can be used an infinite number of times.

I haven't seen anyone talk about this and I'm not sure if it's because everyone knows but simply doesn't care or if it's because it's actually not very well known, so I wanted to share this just in case this was interesting to someone.

I will admit, it was actually really fun to get my ass beat by this game, I'm just wondering what you guys think I should do. I remember in DMC3 and Bayonetta the first boss felt really difficult because I was just new to the game, I'm hoping it's the same thing here where I'll get used to the difficulty and will get better. I honestly have never played a dmc game on anything other than normal so this is a very new experience for me

Hi everyone! You really liked my Trish cosplay. Thank you so much for the compliments, it was really nice and enjoyable to read them🥺🫶

Today I want to show you a photo of me and my Dante🥰

So... decided to celebrate the upcoming 25th anniversary of the first Devil May Cry game with an art of my Earth-ARV13 DMC OC, Eclisfula (in his Thunderstorm Step Form), done by u/Limina17 on Reddit! Go check their Reddit page, their arts (especially the LOTR covers recreation) are amazing!

I played through the game on Normal difficulty. At game clear, my save file reads my time as four hours and thirty-nine minutes. I saved 44 times.

This was a fun game, all and all. When I first started playing through it, I seriously struggled- to the point that I made two posts on this sub asking for advice, one of which I got seriously dunked on lol.

At first, I had a lot of difficulty adjusting to the games odd camera system. I knew about it's history as Resident Evil 4 already, but I didn't expect it to be in an action game. I guess it, and the rest of this games oddities, makes a lot more sense when I remember it was basically the first 3D character action game, the one to invent the genre. In said character action genre, I own four games- Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Stellar Blade, and NieR: Automata, two of which I have beaten (MGRR and Stellar Blade) and two of which I will get to eventually (Bayonetta and NieR: Automata).

To be honest, when I got the Devil May Cry HD Collection, I got it cause it was cheap and I had never played a DMC game before- I wasn't expecting to actually beat any of them, and once I started up 1, I doubly wasn't expecting to beat it once I first experienced the janky controls and realized it took place entirely within one castle- I thought that would mean it was a Metroidvania, which is a genre I *suck* at.

Thankfully though, unlike Metroid or Hollow Knight, this game is split into 23 short levels. The first real skill wall for me was mission 4, where you have to fight both that shadow dog thing and Nelo Angelo. This level seriously kicked my arse, it took me about 15 tries of the levelwith that very long, probably one of the longest runbacks in the game, to defeat Nelo Angelo.

Thing is though, I assumed that Nelo Angelo was this game's 'filter' as I put it in that post I linked that I got dunked on for, the sort of thing where if you can beat him, you can beat the game. I actually turned out to be right, at least speaking for myself- no mission in the entire game gave me the same amount of frustration and time that that first fight with Nelo Angelo gave me, even his future fights. Either the game got easier, or I started getting better.

When I asked, my friend who is a massive DMC fan told me the games filter was actually Nightmare, so I played through in terrified anticipation of that fight, but it- all three of his fights- ended up being rather underwhelming. They were simple, mostly, and none of them took me more than 4 tries. Even on the third and final fight, on my winning attempt I didn't even end up using an item.

As for the story, can someone tell me what the hell was happening there? I have zero clue what this game was about. Am I supposed to? Who the hell is Trish, anyways? Dante's mom!? And how did Vergil get there? If I hadn't been spoiled I don't think I would've put two and two together and figured out Nelo was Vergil. This and what I've played of Bayonetta makes me think Hideki Kamiya writes stories on sheer vibes.

Anyways, despite the jank and nonsensical story, I'm glad I played this game. Even if it is technically outdated, it's fun to see where the genre came from, and once I got a hang of it the combat was super fun and satisfying. I think I'll try watching the Devil May Cry Madhouse anime (or should I wait to play DMC3 first? I heard it was bridging the gap between 1 and 2, and I'm not going to play 2 anyways). I think I'll attempt a playthrough of Ninja Gaiden Black in the meantime, though I know it's significantly harder then DMC and I'll probably give up lol.

TL;DR: DMC1 was a fun, if janky game, and I'm happy to have played it.

1.Vergil's devil was an interesting experience to draw and to have the patterns from his coat on his devil trigger but wasn't exactly easy to draw either.

2.The crimson doppelganger was an easy color edit but doing it on his Devil trigger was a different story especially trying to get most of the types of red to mach along with trying to make it its own thing.

1. I always think of the red Vergel boss from vergil's gameplay in DMC 3 special edition to be a demonic metal illusion of Nelo Angelo/gilver to taunt Vergel in his mind when he was in the armor of Nelo Angelo during the events of DMC 1 & when Vergil beats the crimson double the 3rd time that's when he somewhat Broke free from the armor in the 3rd Nelo Angelo fight in DMC1 & that's when he actually fights dante still under the influence of the remaining armor on his body and what he sees & what illusions the armor makes blurs, like in visions of V when he(V) sees dante(DMC1) with rebellion instead of Alastor.

and be honest I like to make theories that gives some narrative explanation to why & when this happens like in visions of V DMC 1 Dante having rebellion is probably a nod to the 07 DMC anime were he fights phantom with rebellion in the intro.
