DmC vs. Revengeance | 6 Years Later

- Start date
I still love Revengeance and replay it to this day. While DmC is my most regrettable purchase of last gen.
MGR offered something fresh and new, it created its own style that can't be found anywhere else. While almost everything I could praise about DmC I could also follow up with "but DMC3, 4 or 5" did better!

Yeah, I definitely enjoy DmC's core gameplay more than MGR. It looks crazy gorgeous and smooth on PC to boot.
But the story and characters are extremely awful and just chock full of ugliness, I immediately hit the skip button to avoid that crap.
MGR has its over-the-top characters and hype music and set-pieces nailed down.

MGR has overall better combat but DmC has a lot of other things going for it other than just it's also really good combat. I like both but DmC is the better game.
There seems to be a bit of a DmC re-evaluation going on. Tbf, the DE is maybe the most improved a game has ever been by a re-release.
DmC could have been a lot better if the boss fights really took advantage of that open, free-form battle system. It's why I prefer 5 (even as I secretly consider that DmC might be the better game..) because it has such a ridiculous scope for how you deal with some of the bosses. DmC's bosses are much more standard fare.
Which is the most important thing for me in a game like this and why I prefer Rising. It might be a much more linear fighting system than DmC but I think it had the most exciting boss fights of that generation

the video makes a fair comparisons, i think i still enjoy DmC alot more but i will admit MGR has it highs
still i do find MGR and series a good bossfights that are linked by not that intresting levels and some gameplay gimmicks that can get old

Can't say anything about DmC, as I'd never played it, but MGR was a damn fine game.
Crying shame that Sam was an extra mode. He felt so much better to play than Raiden. Also looked so much better in action, too...

Yeah, I think the video is on point. The whole blade mode gimmick is really cool but it just doesn't add much to the gameplay. DmC had an overall enjoyable moveset and I always liked the weapon switching with the triggers. On the Gameplay-side, I never found DmC all that bad.
But MGS:R was just soo much better on the spectacle front. The game is just full of memorable encounters, music, and goofy cutscenes. DmC, on the other hand, was either tryhard or really dragging. Bob Barbas was the clear highlight and the Limbo chase-scenes were visually cool. The rest... eh.

MGR is possibly the most quotable game of all-time, and that's extra impressive considering the stiff competition within its own series—Metal Gear.
That was a pretty in depth analysis about the two games and is cool that he got over his initial bias against DmC which was pretty annoying (I mean, I haven't even played the game but he sounded like most fanboys in the internet).
I wish he would make one of these for The Wonderful 101, preferably if the Switch version eventually happens.

DmC is a solid action game but not very memorable at all (and even then for the wrong reasons unfortunately).
MGR has so many fucking memorable, hilarious and badass moments that it'll stay in my mind forever. One of my favourite games of the last gen. It's so sad we won't get a sequel (not even a remaster at this rate).

In spite of MGR horribly stale art direction through the levels, it still had more epic moments than DmC in the bosses alone, that's for sure. DmC is a good game too though.
Both are great games, but I think about DmC a lot more, it stuck with me as one of my fave games of last gen
The story and characters in DmC are pure trash. Thankfully that shit will remain buried in the landfill after the success of DMC5.
Neither are particularly great, but his take is valid. DmC has better mechanics overall, but Revengeance has better enemies, boss fights and game feel.
Personally I'd actually replay revengeance. But neither were as good as actual best action game of 2013 The Wonderful 101.

I wish i could be fair to DmC,but i just can't. I don't understand how anyone would want to play with the asshole that is the protagonist of it. is not even funny ironically,its just cringy. I think the game is fine for what it is, just really ugly and really stupid storywise.
Revengeance is one of those games that surprised me in how much I enjoyed it. I was air-guitaring for at least a month after I finished it. I pray for a remastered one day - that would be another dream come true. Some of the sickest boss battles I've ever played.

From action game fans? Not really. It's the people who don't normally deep dive these games that super love Revengeance for its batshitness. But the Wonderful 101 is even more absurd lol
The game just has more of a learning curve because of the control scheme, but that's a big time example of a game that gets better on multiple playthroughs.
The Wonderful 101 just needs a port to better hardware that hits a more consistent framerate to be the winner here. Despite the gimmicky minigames interrupting the flow at certain points (a Kamiya staple), the core combat loop of that game is so satisfying once you finally get the hang of it. Granted it does take until a replay to shine just because it doesn't give you everything until then, but that's par for the course.
I agree with a lot of what he says, but what really keeps me away from DmC is the controls. My muscle memory from the classic series just kicks in constantly. The worst is when I try to jump cancel out of an angel weapon attack, but because I'm holding the angel trigger and hit jump I do that glide instead. I don't understand why they couldn't have just kept the classic weapon switching where you cycle through weapons with each press, nobody needs to be holding a trigger just to remember what they have equipped.
Hot take indeed since MGR is the easier game due to the parrying system and being able to carry 10+ healing items lol. You're pretty much unkillable in MGR when you figure that if you tilt the sticks forward each time you attack it'll let you parry 99% of the attacks from pretty much any direction.
GamingBrit spews a lot of hottakes but when it comes to action games those hottakes are coming from actually sound evaluation and critiques. But in the essence of youtube, everything has to be edgy otherwise nobody will watch the video. But he's always been able to back up what he says when it comes to action games.

Can't believe Platinum Games coined "make america great again"
Oh yeah, that's right.
But MGS was right about memes and social media with MGS2 back in 2001 though.
Revengeance has some of the most memorable characters, funniest lines of dialogue, and thrilling set-pieces/boss battles that have ever graced an action game, oh and perhaps the greatest video game soundtrack of all time
DmC has a tone and characters that I cannot fucking stand while suffering the misfortune of standing in the shadow of THE character action genre, with an overrated art-style that is too washed out and murky for my tastes
It's no contest

One of them is a bad game and the other is the best game in its series. Revengeance would have been the worst game I played that year if not for the garbage that was Wonderful 101. DmC is an amazing game that I replay all the time. No contest.
DmC suffers a lot of hate despite being one of the best games of its genre. Just a shade below the Bayonetta games and DMC3 for me.
Revengeance is great too but I'd pick DmC ahead of it.
