I can't stop watching this amazing ad. I just started sending the link to a bunch of people I know (so it is doing its job with me, at least). This is an ATG ad.

Mike Diva is fucking rad and I love seeing his beautiful absurdist stamp on real TV. Y'all not understanding how this commercial represents the incredible over-the-top cheesy ridiculous action vibe that DMC5 is about baffles me.

why would capcom make an ad and then put the xbox and MS logo at the beginning and the end?
Because it's their game? Here's a quote from Mike Diva of Lord Danger, who put together the ad
"As a fan of the DMC series, I wanted to create something that really captures the franchise's over-the-top style," Diva says. "We were thrilled when Capcom basically said 'go for it,' and let us go nuts."

Also this is at the end of the article
Client: CAPCOM
Project: Devil May Cry 5

The only thing I would change with this ad is to show an extra 5-7 seconds of the actual game at the end. Despite missing that, it's still pretty great.

To be fair, it seems like only a few people didn't appreciate the ad; it may be more appropriate to refer to them as "y'few".

I'd complain less about it if clips from the actual game were in it like that Japanese DMC1 ad.

Jesus, it's Devil May Cry PART FIVE

Won't somebody please think of the "Average consumer"!!!

It's 2019. The average consumer knows what an Xbox and video games are. Like most mainstream products, every single ad doesn't need to be spelled out.

It's probably the greatest ad ever created and will honestly be compared to the Mona Lisa of advertisements.
Sorry op you're wrong.

Watching it a second time again and my feelings haven't changed, it feels weird and I don't like it.

And I like stuff like this-



So I don't know what's going on.

Hm,it seems quite good imo. It sparks the interest,although it's not super informative. But that's what an ad should do

I thought that ad was kind of funny, it shows the over-the-top craziness that is DMC V pretty well. And it got our attention, which is sometimes all a TV spot can do.
I dunno, I kinda like it. It's endearingly dumb.
That ad is fantastic lol.
It's so dumb that it's good.

Yup

OP os wrong the ad is great. MS usually does good ads. I still love the "Warranties are for suckers" halo wars ad.

This add is fantastic I don't know what you're on about.

Who cares if it doesn't show gameplay? It's entertaining and catches your attention. If people want to know more then that's why we have YouTube.

I like it, reminds me of old game commercials. Reminds me of the commercial Revengeance back when it came out. Also these days you can literally find out what something is in an instant with your computer or smartphone.
