Shit, morally ambiguity comes when a character understands AND REFLECTS the ambiguity of the action.

Beyond the obvious I always saw Vergil's biggest strength as an antagonist being his disregard for giving us a reason why he is the way he is. Sure there are some underlying threads leading back to his mother but at the end of the day he doesn't need to justify himself to anyone in his eyes. He has his goals and nobody is going to stand in his way, end of. And that gives him such a rock solid, yet mysterious vibe of conviction it's impossible not to be wowed by him.

@@skippitylip6524 Well there's a lot of "open to interpretation" with the character. That's why I loved him in DMC3. He erected the tower to bring hell onto Earth just so he could ascertain power. But to do what exactly? I always thought he was on this quest for power because he secretly blamed his own father for not being their to save Eva, Dante and Vergil's mother. So his whole path was trying to be the man he wanted to believe his father was. In DmC, I do feel NT missed some vital notes with trying to make Vergil more believable. But I did like his psychosis, falling into madness because he was left, after being beaten by Dante, to question himself on why he lost. In doing so, he started to question aspects of himself and create demons through his own thoughts that in turn pushed him deeper. I thought that was actually neat on a psychological level because it makes you wonder what Mundus did to Vergil after DMC3. Surely it wasn't so much as, "Oop, you touched me and now I'll name you Nelo Angelo!"

What’s a “DMC”?

2001 DMC: After encountering Dante twice, Nelo Angelo regains his consciousness and reveals that he was Vergil, now under the control of the Devil Emperor Mundus. He and Dante fight once more, with Dante ultimately victorious and left to mourn the loss of his possessed brother. 2003 DMC2: Vergil does not appear, nor is he referenced. 2005 DMC3: Vergil challenges Dante to a battle to trick him into coming so Vergil could take his half of the perfect amulet, and enter the demon world to gain the power of their father Sparda which was sealed away. After the man he was working with betrayed him and stole Sparda’s power for himself, Vergil and Dante team up to stop the madman making a mockery of their father’s legacy, before squaring off one last time. Vergil is unable to move on past his pursuit of power and willingly plunged himself into the depths of Hell after telling Dante to leave him (even rejecting his brother trying to reach out to him), before going out in a blaze of glory fighting against his father’s enemy: Mundus. 2008 DMC4: Nero acquires the Yamato, Vergil’s Sword, and defeats the Order of the Sword. Vergil himself does not appear, though he is referenced. 2013 DmC: After an entire game of “Dante” and “Vergil” trying to “save” the world, “Vergil” just decides to be evil at the end I guess, and tries to get you to join him. 2019 DMC5: After Vergil splits himself into Urizen and V, V begins to realize all the horrible stuff Vergil did. He teams up with Dante and Nero, makes an attempt to almost apologize to Lady for DMC3, and then Dante tells Urizen how their mom tried to save Vergil too but she died before getting the chance, and when V And Urizen reunite into Vergil he begins to question his life. Nero, after learning about his heritage, fights the real Vergil and convinces him to finally turn over a new leaf, but Vergil still being... well Vergil, throws his son, Nero, his book (one of his most treasured possessions), but also tells him that he won’t lose next time. And people still say DmC had a better story, somehow.

I've only seen some of the clips of DmC, but I only need one to know enough about the game, that being the one where Donte and a boss keep telling each other to go fuck themselves with the boss saying she would, what was the exact phrasing btw, rip off his head and piss on his corpse or something like that?

Lilith despite being rather disgusting, didnt need to see her own baby explode from within her. Demons have feelings too you know. Goes to show how vile the scene really is, as simply shooting her first would have been a little kinder than the kid first. But hey, anything to get some cheap shock value and some sort of set up to the Virgil “misunderstanding”. God this game is bad.. Also no comment or justification for that rather tasteless display of angst? If so good on you for being rather accepting overall, and I hope the negative feelings you had while commenting are long gone now, and you have a happy life

That scene where Vergil tells Dante about his past and how only a nephilim can defeat the demon lord shows just how small minded the authors actually are. When you plaster the walls with graffiti that clearly represents your story and you even focus on it more than the characters, you fucking failed. They couldn't have shoved it farther into our faces if they tried. There is no subtext, there is no symbolism, no metaphors, it's just showing us the literal meaning of what Vergil is saying like a coloring book or a kids show for five year olds. And it also doesn't make any sense. Why is that shit even there? Yeah, having one painting in the background that resembles the meaning could be believeable. But this? it just comes off as trying too hard and takes you even further out of the game. The worst part is, that I don't get it. Was this written by completely different people than Enslaved? Because that game actually had very clever designs that both worked in terms of "Journey to the West" and the world the game takes place in. The story in that game also tried way to hard and never understand the subtle use of symbolism, but in DmC it's just terrible. I honestly thought this was done by edgy tryhard high schoolers who just watched Fight Club for the first time.

nephilim is the hybrid between humans and fallen angel. Even that they got wrong.

It's kind of funny how the original Vergil is a power-hungry but admirably clever and honourable character - he hides his emotions, but he's not evil, just misguided. He's surprisingly sincere about everything he does, and has no illusions about nobility. Almost definitely has an inferiority complex, and he wants power for power's sake (it would guarantee him physical safety, though not psychological safety). The reboot Vergil is more expressive, and he seems to pursue power and freedom because he is self-conscious about his strength (which is kind of like a retcon to make him more similar to OG Vergil, since we get this insight from the DLC), but he conceals his powerlust by claiming humans need a ruler. He killed Lilith, but worse, he killed the child first. Stabbed Mundus from behind. He wanted everybody around him to die for perceived slights, not actual conflicts. This to me differs him immensely from OG Vergil - reboot Vergil is a liar and dishonourable. And unlike Vergil, who despite being a bastard, conceals a good side, reboot Vergil conceals a deep ugliness inside of him and convinces himself he's righteous.

This is a good analysis. The thing is, people are too absorbed about the mainline version, ignoring the fact this Vergil ISN'T supposed to be exactly like the original. The reboot version is honestly his own complicated character and although the dlc sheds his psychological issues, only scratches the surface and also because they never did plan to make a dlc anyway and when they did they were forced on a tight deadline of releasing it in 6 months or so, after the main game's release.

Not much more to add. You got it pretty spot on. It's weird when the guy who ripped an innocent woman's heart out with his bare hands in front of her son is one of the most sympathetic characters.

wiseguy240 Winston There's a legit reason he wanted power. It's called SUBTEXT. It's in his actions and his words. Vergil wants to gain power so that he will never lose anything close to him ever again, like how he and Dante lost their mom to a demon sent by Mundus. "Might controls everything - and without strength, you cannot protect anything; let alone yourself." That line he said to Dante after defeating him the first time speaks volumes of his motivation. Notice how he never tried to legitimately kill Dante until their final encounter. It's because he was trying his damnedest to convince Dante to embrace his demon heritage because he genuinely cares for his brother, unlike bitch-boy, fedora tipping Vino. He seeks power so that he can become better than his father yet ironically abhors human weakness and hates himself for being half human. Sparda risked his life to defend humanity and fight for those he loved. Vergil is a hypocrite who considers human weak, yet fails to realize they possess a quality most demons lack, possibly what drove Sparda to fall in love with a human woman in the first place. Vergil's goal is an ironically cruel fate in the grand scheme of things. He wishes to become the most powerful demon, not to rule the demon world or even dominate humans, but so that he will be unchallenged and never lose anyone dear to him again. The irony is that the only one who he has left is his brother, Dante, and at the end of it all is willing to kill him to achieve his goal. Which will leave him with nothing when you think about it, really nailing home how insane Vergil truly is. Another reason why he doesn't completely answer Dante's question is because he TRULY doesn't know what he'll do once he obtains his power. His whole life was centered around pursuing power that, should he obtain it, what he sacrificed to get it will just leave it a hollow victory.

"Never show that face before me again." ~ *Vergil sheathes his Yamato*

Vergil never shows any kind of battle prowess in the main game itself. He's just the intellect. So the final boss battle felt out of nowhere and there was no buildup. In the end you're just beating up some guy with brains, not a super skilled, deadly swordsman. Also, the "yehmahto". This game is terrible.

I feel like most game journalists don't meet the requirements that reviewers/journalists meet in other fields, and because of that, they aren't qualified to critique certain aspects of games. They know how to look for bullet points, ie. are the graphics "advanced", are the controls streamlined, do the people in these cutscenes sound like they act for a living, and is there an interesting mechanic or two. Problem is that the people that watch IGN videos tend to only really care about that stuff. The smarter guys in the business tend to get the most hate from the community when they release a review that looks deeper into things (usually narrative and pacing). It's like when Sessler gave uncharted 3 a 4 out of 5 and everyone went crazy.

Having played through all 4 Devil May Cry games (with 3 being my favourite and 4 nearly hitting the mark), I'm happy. Happy, because I now have every right to legitimately pan DmC and call Ninja Theory out on their bullshit. Devil May Cry 3 was much simpler in terms of story than in this game, yet it did so much more. Dante's crushing defeat at the hands of Vergil atop the tower was genuinely impactful, and Vergil himself saw no other way than his own. He stuck to his convictions, selfish though it may be, and stopped at nothing to purge the world of the weak. Despite being the main antagonist, he made a lot of valid points, like when he tells Dante that without power, he will never be able to protect the things he loves. Instead of crying and bruding over his defeat, Dante picks himself right back up with his new-found Devil Trigger awakened. He's still alive, and he knows that as long as he's alive, he has to see this through to the end. He knows there's no time for doubts, and doing so would be a betrayal of who he is. The only way to save the world from Vergil is by surpassing him whist sticking to his own convictions. He gains the power Vergil spoke of, but through his own way, and his faith in humanity that drives him. Yeah, I know it sounds very cliche, but the cutscenes managed to convey all of those raw emotions and inspirational themes without spoon-feeding it to the audience. The extreme difficulty curve of the game actually adds to the whole experience, too. You have to earn the right to meet Vergil in the final mission. The game's tough, but incredibly fun and addictive. Each fight is well-designed and fair to the player. You have all the tools you need to win, you just have to do your part. The combat system requires the player to mix up their moves with flashy combos whilst dodging the enemy's attacks and taunting them to reach the SSS (Stylish) rank, earning them more rewards and making for one of the best combat systems in any game. Let's also remember that all of this happened in glorious 60fps, even on PAL PS2's, when Capcom finally decided to give UK players the option to play in 60Hz. Compare all of that to this... DmC: Devil May Cry. 30fps unless you're lucky enough to have waited for the Definitive edition to experience it, a deeper yet still stupid story full of teenage angst and nursery-level politcal commentary that they force-feed you to leave little to the imagination, a dumbed-down combat system in which you can spam the same moveset repeatedly to get SSS (as well as a colour-coded enemy mechanic, because Ninja Theory forgot that they were making a hack'n'slash game and not fucking Ikaruga), super saiyan fights apparently (you can mindlessly slash away at enemies in mid-air now with minimal effort and no sense of accomplishment, unlike with Nero's awesome grabbing mechanic which took skill AND rewarded you with a higher combo rank and extra damage to enemies), and shitter, more detestable counter parts to the ones found in the better games. It doesn't help that Ninja Theory thought they were the big I Am because Capcom let them make the game, and because they had "better hardware than the first three games", it automatically means everything they bring to the table is better than what came before it. I get it. It's a reboot. It's supposed to be different. But you can't tell me that the "Not in a million years..." scene isn't an immature and shameful reaction to die-hard fans on their part, can you? And how can you not blame people like HyperBitHero, GamingBrit, GamingSins e.t.c for comparing Ninja Theory's defication to the superior games it's based on? Sure, I wouldn't mind giving the Definitive Edition a try whenever I get a PS4, but I'm also going to be basking in DMC4: Special Edition's combat mechanics and Legendary Dark Knight mode at the same time, this time with the much better Vergil than Bigger Dick Vergil. On it's own, DmC is not a bad game overall. It is enjoyable if you let yourself enjoy it. But damn... It's just so depressing to know that Angry Joe's review of it is the most popular Devil May Cry-related video on KZread. It doesn't deserve that coverage. I don't care if you're an inexperienced player at the hack-and-slash genre. So was I when I played the first 2 Devil May Cry games. They did a good enough job of easing me in to the genre, and by that time, I was ready to tackle the third game again and this time get past the second boss (granted, I was also ready for anything more exciting than DMC2). There's no excuse for you not to get the originals before DmC, especially considering how cheap they are second-hand. Well, there's my long-winded take-rant on the whole situation. I'd like to thank HyperBitHero for really putting into perspective the reasons why DmC is so flawed in the character department, because we're not just angry about Dante's hair, contrary to what all the ignorant, trailer-trash nay-sayers who don't know the meaning of the word research like to say.

DMC 3: Special Edition finally allows American players the option to play the "real" (aka Japanese) normal mode. The point I'm trying to make is that if anyone here wanted to play DMC 3 but was turned off by the game's difficulty the special edition is out there for PS2 and as part of the HD collection for PS3 and Xbox 360. In addition, I want people to know you don't have to own a PS2 to play the original DMC trilogy on a console. There is literally no excuse, if you've played the original version DmC: Devil May Cry you can play the original trilogy and DMC 4 just as easily on the same consoles. I won't judge you too harshly, however, if you choose to skip DMC 2. DMC 2 just sucks.

@WarWolf Well, they're badly done because Dante is like a rebel teen at this age. Ideally this was to be his origin story where he later would grab a bike and set up a home in some rundown bar and then you'd have DMC3 some years later. So Dante's character made sense somewhat. Vergil on the other hand, he moved like the Vergil we love but they definitely twisted him with giving him a sick and twisted personality which I wasn't a fan of. In DMC3, you know Vergil's twisted based on how he believes he killed Arkham. "To further your study in the black arts, you sacrificed your loving wife to become a devil as well. Knowing this, I thought you would be more use to me. But I was wrong." The delivery of that quote with how monotone and methodical Vergil is definitely paints a twisted personality behind a stoic shade.

I don't think DmC Vergil wanting to rule humanity "for their own good" makes him any less evil. If anything that makes him worse. He's so full of himself and looks down on humanity so much that he thinks that they need to be protected by himself as some higher being. That's the attitude of an evil dictator if there ever was one. Not that it makes his character better or anything. In comparing how Vergil fights in DmC vs. DMC3 I have to agree. Or well, kind of. I've never finished DMC3 (only ever got to the boss rush level on Normal), so most of my experience of his mechanics comes from playing as him multiple times in DMC4SE. Comparing that to how he plays in the DmC DLC, there's such a huge difference in terms of feel. Some sword moves and special abilities are the same, but in DmC he feels sort of clumsy. Very stop-start and without a natural flow to him. In DMC4SE, he's brilliant to play. So quick and fluid. It's crazy how different they can make the same character feel.

He even says they'll "respect their subjects, not enslave them." He is doing this out of a will to do good, it's just that he is too full of himself to see that no one wants him to rule over them, haha.

Now that those prats had broken it down, they'd just unleashed a torrent of chainsaw-armed monstrosities onto the population and nobody was really prepared for such an event. It's stupid of Dante to assume they can just let the humans do what they want now, since society had just undergone such an enormous upheaval. If anything, Vergil was crucial because he's at least someone who pretends to understand what's going on around him. But whatever, it's a dumb game with a poorly thought out conclusion. Logic doesn't really come into it.

I honestly have to wonder what this Vergil would have been like if they'd gone with the _original_ version of DMC's Dante. There might have been some interesting conflict between this Vergil and a smoking, antisocial Dante. What does he think of the fact that his brother is constantly getting into trouble with the demonic forces of the world? What does he feel about the Dante basically being a depressive smoker? Unfortunately since they tried to appease fans (and failed by not appeasing them enough) we'll probably never get to see that interaction.

+Chewable Arsenic Candies You know, now that I think about it, a drug-addict Dante would be very interesting if they retained that aspect of his character. This Dante would have had more potential to grow as a character because in the very first trailer for DmC, Dante being interrogated implies that he's been through so much with Mundus and the Demons that his perspective towards his life would clash with Vergil's own throughout DmC. The drugs iteslf would serve as an interesting story element in that it would have also explained how Dante learned to use Rebellion, gained lots of experience in doing all types of odd jobs (which would help foreshadow the establishment of his own shop). I know it can be apalling at first, but I'm sure that if Ninja Theory pulled this off right, Dante would have quit smoking eventually anyway; I was never bothered by that part of his character. I was bothered by the fact that when I was watching that trailer, that they changed his personality. And THAT would be a more pressing issue. Either way, both the main games and DmC leave so much to be desired in terms of the story. How can I know more about these characters and the lore when there is so little to explore?

I've never played this game but I always come back to this video. Excellent work man

After watching all of your very well done DMC videos I decided to try out the old games for the first time with the HD Collection. Can't wait!

Have fun!

You know what is sad? Sparda... In original DMC series He was a powerful demon capable to love humans . For the humanity he BEATS Mundus and sealed demon world. Then he took care of the people for 1000 years ,Later he married and fathered sons. And then He disappeared ....We still do not know what happened to him . In reebot he is average demon. Sparda was condemned by Mundus because of the relationship with an angel .... He was easily defeated and imprisoned . It's sad how the creators turned powerful , interesting and important character into weak , insignificant and repulsive . Sorry for bad english. I'm from Poland. You have got new spectator.

+Meshifuari Arimota ithank u the voice of reason you know what would have been cool a game were u play as sparda and we can find what happen to him

The DmC reboot would've been a good game if it was its own title. I liked the idea of corruption and brainwashing people through the media. Kinda like the illuminati. And the whole idea about Limbo was pretty cool but they fucked up the whole story for the Devil May Cry franchise, it pissed me off. I played the game for both Dante and Vergil and it did not make me want to play the story again like the other DMC games. I just hope Capcom makes a DMC5.

NT definitely missed some elements. I wouldn't say the game pissed me off and I do somewhat liked some of the moments Vergil had, I just thought they tried too hard to make him edgy and sadistic. I mean Vergil in DMC3 was twisted too but that was a product of, what I believed, was him loving his mother so dearly and not having a father to protect the one he loved - so Vergil went off in the pursuit of power so he would be the better man.

I listen to your videos a lot while I’m working and I only just noticed the Sonic 06 footage “Priceless”

the endslate song is ''It's kill or be killed'' from No More Heroes 2.

The idea that only a nephalim can slay a demon king in this game is utterly ridiculous. If that were the case, then wouldn't angels have lost whatever war they were fighting already? Also in the official comic prequel of this game where Vergil meets Kat, they actually fall in love, which makes the entire sequence of Vergil's mood shifts even stranger.

You don't even have to be a longtime DMC fan or DMC classic purist to even realize that DmC's adaptation of Vergil is just nothing short of embarrassing on the fact he was just poorly written as a character let alone another cliche self righteous antagonist. Which they even made worst with that forcefully contrived edge lord wubfest that was the VD DLC. Which had a poorly timed Pre-order launch which intentionally spoiled the upcoming plot of the game like "no shit Sherlock, have you ever played a DMC title?". Ninja Theory clearly had an active reimagining but they absolutely failed in understanding what made these characters iconic in the first fucking place; which ultimately they and there apologist assume is purely just a weeaboo thing. In any staple third person character action title. Vergil made his mark in DMC 3 as the definitive badass rival character in Gaming. Not because he wore opposing colors and had a completely opposite demeanor and style of fashion, no. A good rival character is designed to not only have an opposing ideology to you the protagonist; but also has an active and endearing presence that constantly re-evaluates your own capability and mastery at the game. Thus by overcoming this person who seemingly can kick your ass, you the player feel greatly empowered when you defeat them, and none of the cliche plotwist bullshit that had almost little to no direct build-up to a poorly executed final battle. I wish the next Devious Extent actually gives a better example of how an endearing rival character should be portrayed. Like Jetstream Sam.

Well of course the DLC was developed like that. NT was hoping people new to the DMC franchise but loved hack and slashes would pick up their game and want to tune in. It's not rocket science.

Hey HyperBitHero, these are some of my favorite videos! Please keep doing them!

I love your videos, man. Super interesting to watch after working like crazy the whole damn day.

Another excellent analysis video; love it! Honestly, I HATE both version of Donte & Vorgil - Donte is cocky but stupid, and Vorgil is sneaky coward. Both of them don't have heart & don't really care about the humans or even their own father. None of them feel bad about releasing all the demons into the human world & the killing of human all over the place is a "problem". What is worst is that even knowing their father, the Legendary "Weaking" Sparda, is still alive & being inprisoned by Kingin-Mundus, none of them cared or have any intention of saving him from hell & stop his suffering. They just chill & talked about who's dixk is bigger & shxt. Such a sad thing.

+pigboykool You calling them Donte and Vorgil to make fun of them... that's really mature buddy. Don't get me wrong, I'll pick original Dante any day over these two but you really look stupid doing this, that's why people think this fanbase is full of 13 years old kids. stop acting like one.

I think sparda is in a deeper parts of hell where the beings there are equal or stronger than him

Ugh. Poor Vergil deserved better. Although he is a villain I love him . OG Vergil had some sense of honor. He went to great lengths to get ultimate power because he considered himself weak and wanted to rid himself of his humanity.

You hit the nail right on the head. Great analysis

'sequel that will probably never happen' you mean 'sequel that will HOPEFULLY never happen'

Dante: Ok Vergil give me the Yamato Vergil: If you want it then you'll have to take it

I would actually love to see a sequel where Virgil is in Australia with a megaphone running a political campaign though.

Great video as always Bit. Looking forward to your future work.

Not gonna lie, the part where he talked about Vergil and his megaphone made me laugh my ass off.

I just don't like the fact that he doesn't wear blue clothes anymore and that doppelganger. But I think it will be a great mechanic when he will be playable

Let's just pretend DmC never existed.

Remember when NT said they were going to blow the story of the original DMC out of the water? They cant even surpass the story of DMC1, i would rather have a simple but good paced story with good build up and progression rather this mess that NT wrote

The end plot twist was unbearable honestly. I could at least tolerate it more if he brought it up early on and came back to it multiple times in conversations with Dante. Maybe he could have had a struggle figuring out if it was right or wrong to control humans for the sake of protecting them from the demons and themselves leading to his ultimate decision at the end end to turn on Dante after he himself disagrees with the idea altogether. Even THEN it still wouldn't work well enough because how would he be strong enough to fight Dante (The killer of Mundus) even though he had Dante go on all of these errandswtfisthisplothelpmeimdying.

There's alot of hidden hints in the game that give this conclusion, you probably just don't remember or didn't care at first - in the first ever scene he appears, he was using a mask on tv trying to sway public opinion - when dante meets him, you can see him on the shadows while dante is in the light - about the only a nephilim can beat the demon king, there's that Demon vs Angel paint on the wall, Vergil on the demon side and Dante in the angel one - he most of the times manipulates both dante and kat - he literally killed mundus child, he did that before even killing lilith, just to piss off mundus, dante got really mad over that So yeah, is that enough?
