  • Devil May Cry Peak of Combat "Peak of Greed" is Hilariously Bad. what's going on you guys this is your boy RBG aka the random black gamer bringing you my review of double May Cry peup combat now I just want to go ahead and disclose in advance that I had the luxury of playing this game months ago like I want to say back in May of last year nebela Joy after seeing that I put in so much work and gave you guys all the different updates pertaining to this game and reminding you that it was actually a thing they were courteous enough to send me an invite to play the close beta as per usual they provided me with these in-game resources and they told me to have at it and create captivating content for you guys to Showcase what the game has to offer but lo and behold I sat on all the footage I captured and I never brought that content to you guys and there's a good reason for that as you all know I am a big proponent to the Devil May Cry brand I love everything the franchise stands for I have uploaded countless videos for each installment and came up with my own theories on stuff that needed to be filled in Devil May Cry is just one of those things that has a plethora of stuff to offer the players from the story to the characters but most of all the actual gamep play that's what we love the most we love the hyper stylized action the game has to offer and the combos that you can pull off which seem.

      I jumped through the hoops to play this game in both the Chinese closed and open betas a few years back, when it was still going by Pinnacle of Combat. I got to experience how promising the closed beta was, then be blown away at how much they improved by the time they had the open beta. I spent two years hyping people up for this game, spent hours practicing combos to show off the fact they actually pulled it off. POC in the form it was first made publicly playable had combat approaching DMC 5, had genuine tech like 3 and 4 worthy guard canceling instead of 5's slower animation, Dante could dodge offset Drive into Overdrive, Lady could animation cancel anything with her Charge Shot and each level had different knockback angles for all kinda of variation.
      I could write you a damn essay on how good Lady alone was in this game. They took the rushed together prototype she was in 4 SE as a basis and massively expanded on it, making her play like she fights in 3's cutscenes. They gave her back her fucking SMG as a hybrid melee/ranged weapon same as her expanded Kalina Ann moveset. They took DTE and worked the grenades into various other moves for mid combo pop ups and knockbacks.
      They brought back Phantom and DMC 1 Griffon, let us fight them with modern combat. They let us beat Beowulf and Nevan's asses as Lady. They brought back the fucking DMC 2 Dante outfit.
      The closed beta required an additional currency besides red orbs to unlock skills, which could only be earned in set amounts per day without spending money. When the open beta happened, this was completely removed and it worked just like DMC 5, which the devs stated they did because the old system wasn't in keeping with the spirit of the franchise.
      You spend 5 minutes reading the dev posts and it was clear this game was being made by die hard fan boys who thoroughly understood the series combat.
      All that said, this is the single biggest gaming dissapointment I've ever experienced and I'm still made about Megaman Legends 3 and I played both Mass Effect Andromeda and No Man's Sky at launch.
      Had this game just came out of the ether as it currently is, I'd have a positive view on it for the simple reason that people spending money on it could convince Capcom the series is worth keeping as a mainstay of their lineup like it once was. But I know what this game was, I saw it go from a promising but somewhat clunky experience to something I'd put above DMC 3 even with style switching for combat. It literally had articles being written about how it proved mobile games could not only compete with their console counterparts but that they could be worthwhile gaming experiences and not just cash grabs. This game was making DMC the most ground breaking and relevant it has been since the first game. DMC could have been the series that fucking redeemed mobile gaming. It had a damn PC worthy list of settings, ran like a dream, had full controller support for those who didn't want to use the fantastic touch controls that were as black magic as the RE Engine. Even in a language I don't understand, everything was clearly labeled in a way I could figure it all out just fine.
      So I see this as one of, if not the worst things Capcom has ever released. But that said, I'm honestly not surprised it happened. The monetization on the Chinese open beta version was so scarce and largely pointless that I really wasn't sure the game would survive long enough to get a global release. The game felt like a fanboy passion project first and a potentially succesful business model a very distant second. I don't think that game could've been very profitable as it was. There was no need to spend money to get most of the content back then with even the series legacy weapon skins being made unlockable instead of purchasable.
      But while I don't think the POC I played could succeed using the mobile game business approach, I think had they simply dropped those elements completely and released it as a complete game with a singular price tag (Square does it with mobile ports of their old console games) on mobile I think think could've been incredibly succesful.
      I've got some videos of what the game used to be on my channel if anyone wants to see, I had always assumed I could simply get all the combo video time I wanted once it released over here so it's not the best stuff but it shows what was taken from us.

    Just gotta say the name change likely had nothing to do with the alterations. Back in the Chinese closed beta it was called Pinnacle of Combat but this was changed shortky after the release of the open beta iirc 6 or so months later. They added a lot more stuff after the name change (brought Nevan and DmC's axe for Dante and gave Vergil his first ever new ranged weapon in the form of DmC's shurikens in the time got to play). The way it was addressed by the devs made it seem like Peak was always the intended name and Pinnacle had been a poor translation they only addressed because it was getting so much attention from english speakers. As someone who ran just about eveey bit of on screen text or dev post tgrough an auto translate, Peak and Pinnacle were used interchangably (and Devil Trigger was consistently Sexual Weapon Energy which is fucking amazing) and i can see it very eaaily being a mistranslation as both words hve the same meaning. I actually spent more time playing it as Peak than Pinnacle by a wide margin

    It’s sad how much the game changed when it fully released. In the beta, you could actually switch weapons in game and there was less paywalling then there is now. Not to mention (to my knowledge) there wasn’t a single character that broke everything and made difficulty trivial. Speaking of difficulty, how come there’s a timer on battles now and why does every battle take 30 stamina????

    So its true that the old version limited Dante to only Trickster and Royal Guard but all of his Swordmaster and Gunslinger functionality was moved to his core weapon movesets to compensate. All that stuff was still there with him even getting some combos that bring back DMC 2's special shotgun moves where you can melee combo into a shot at different points to get different special gun moves. He had one where you light melee, then pause, then fire E&I where he'd do a backflip as he kicks the enemy upward and chains into a barrage of gunfire. So you could launch, juggle with a light melee into the backflip to pop them back up and keep the juggle going with the shots. I fully expect DMC 6 Dante to have stuff like that if he ever exists. Lady had all kinds of stuff like that.
    Everything you'd expect was in the core movesets. The Legendary weapons of each type also had a Max level GS and SM worthy new move that you unlocked for all weapons of that type if you pulled them. I got two different Rebellion legendaries, one being a combo that partially uses a DMC 3 style Dance Macabre with the sword pole swing at the end. Several of these legendaries could be earned through in game challenges and you had DMC 5 Dante's full Rebellion moveset with Drive and Overdrive given back regardless of legendaries
    At the time I played however Vergil did lack a Devil Trigger. Dante had one but Vergil was given Judgment Cut End as an equivalent to Lady's ring of grenades as they use the same button as Dante's DT and both burned meter. His DMC 5 moveset was altered however to have several of his finishers freeze an enemy in place until he sheaths, which gave him a lot of interesting potential though.
    Both Dante and Vergil were locled to only two weapons of each type at a time however so POC Vergil was always going to feel like a downgrade from his mainline counterparts triple switch without something to spice him up like his first new ranged weapon. Lady however only had two weapons of each type so you could have her full moveset at all times.
    I could live with losing POC Dante and Vergil but the fact we lost a fully fleshed out playable version of Lady, something we will probably never see again, that's some Megaman Legends 3 levels of anger.
    That said though, closed beta Dante had some really interesting new stuff that was removed even for the open beta. In the closed beta he felt like playing a totally new incarnation of Dante, like going from 3 to 4 to 5, same foundation but with some unique twists. However he felt pretfy clunky at the time, his movesets weren't that well designed to keep a juggle going and in the open beta a lot of it had been reworked, 95% kept but simply used in different ways. The result played a lot more like 5 Dante and worked better overall but some things were removed entirely.
    Off the top of my head for the stuff he lost after the closed beta he could perform Million Stabs in the air, could do a grounded version of it where he aims diagonallt upward instead of straight forward, had an aerial relaunch on Rebellion and Drive, Overdrive, Round Trip and certain combo finishers could be executed with perfect timing to have Dante spawn a pair of clones to perform the attack with him. The three ranged sword moves werent very useful though, the timing and launch heights/distances made them really hard to use without dropping the target. They worked far better in the open beta though they lost the clones
    While we lost some cool stuff, open beta Dante was a huge improvement

    And the Gacha system in DMC: POC is way worse than the Gacha system in Hoyoverse it's not even comparable. Hoyoverse gacha system is relatively fair and does not immediately encourages you to spend real money. But this game just locks everything including what supposed to be a basic feature of the game through paywall in the form of gacha system with horrible chances.

    Everything with what you said about the game is facts, but my biggest gripe about the game to me is the summoning. Now with every gatcha game there's gonna have summons that uses in game currency like for e,g, Dragon Ball Dokkan Battle with the dragon stones or DB Legends with the chrono crystals and with this game it uses gems for summoning, and quite honestly I hate it. The fact that you only have a certain amount of days to get a character that you want is just terrible design ideas because with summoning in this game the RNG is just horrible and the whole "summon enough times and you'll get the character" BS that just makes it worse. And on top of that, the amount to do a 10x summon is too damn expensive, like 1800 for a 10 summon for a non guaranteed character from it but instead most of the time, its mainly weapons that are common with at least 1 rare one, possibly for a character you dont even own! The single summon is still a bit expensive too but not much and going back to the time limit on the character summon, you can't put a summon for this amount to get this character automatically if you're having the player need to summon like 100 times to get said character and once time is up, you gotta wait for the character to show up again not knowing when. I've honestly uninstalled the game cause with the bad ideas they had and the summoning being the worst for me, I'd might as well play Genshin Impact than this so called "Devil May Cry" game

    There are conflicting rumors about the game. One being that Capcom explicitly wanted these changes. Let's not forget that Capcom is no stranger to being utterly ridiculous with their decisions. They made MvC infinite which was literally just a playable advertisement for Avengers: Infinity War, and they spearheaded the DmC:Devil may Cry reboot, and blatantly ASKED for the awful changes that had occurred in that game.
    So the rumor has some substance to it, Capcom isn't one to pretend they aren't greedy and often times does hilariously stupid things. Look at Project REsistance, and ReVerse, two games sold as side games onto main remakes, one of which didn't release for two years AFTER the release of the main game it was bundled with...
    I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be true that capcom wanted to try their first foray into the Gacha sphere and just ended up gutting things too hard.
    Now, don't get me wrong however. There IS some depth in this game, and it's not as minor as one might think. The issue is all the depth is locked behind very specific characters and if you don't have them then you don't get to have that sort of fun, and don't get to indulge on the combos that it has to offer.
    The pvp is decent, and the raids are cool. But it's a far cry from what i would call a real devil may cry game, but it isn't as horrible as people are making it out to be.

    Urgh, I was keeping an eye on this since its announcement shortly after Devil May Cry 5. I was very fortunate to snag the apk for the 1.0 version back when it was only available in China. Even though I couldn't understand a word of Chinese, I was impressed with how much we were able to do on the mobile, ie. combos, weapon switching and shooting, all the staples in a Devil May Cry game. I didn't get to experience the subsequent betas after that, but when I heard about the worldwide launch of the final product, I was excited to start playing it on Bluestacks with a keyboard, just like how I usually play any Devil May Cry game.
    But goddamn, was I disappointed with what I experienced! No guns for Dante, can't switch weapons, Vergil and Nero don't contribute anything to the story, etc etc. Everything just felt disconnected. And the microtransactions? Those should be sent all the way to hell! It's like there is no end to the upgrades and customizations, which is absolutely not the point in any DMC game where there is a maximum number of weapons and skills to acquire. China really fucked up my favorite game franchise ever, and I'm uninstalling this steaming pile of unholy excrement and will wait for a Devil May Cry 6, or a dedicated Vergil game! Oh, hell, while I'm at it, bring Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition to PC, even as a free upgrade for those who bought the Deluxe Edition!

Also for the micro transactions the devs should have sold overpriced costumes and weapon skins while keeping moves free/left with the playable characters. I will stick with 3,4, and a heavily modded 5. Also I heard AI and past voice lines were used for the voice acting and the OG Peak of combat Dante VA might have gonna fired for a fan contest VA(or so I been told).

    Dante doesn't actually have rebellion outside of cutscenes. Dante uses the "victory blade" witch the Rebellion is a skin for, a skin that costs around $100 as you cant buy it outright you have to buy packs in the store to get an amount of exchange coins related to how much money you just spent. The Rebellion cost 300 exchange coins, so do the Yamato. Nero's Red Queen cost around $200 but you could only get that through an event they ran as a reward for buying around $200 worth of gems. Also the guy that voiced Dante in POC has confirmed that he was fired randomly before finishing all his lines and that just it's not him your hearing despite it sounding like him so AI voice acting is very likely

    Not saying I like the game, but having the 3 vergils in a row slightly makes up for the lack of weapon swapping and helps the enjoyment.

    Ok so here's my review of the game
    The story is meh and gameplay would be decent for anyone who is new to the Devil May Cry series but for any long time fans they will be extremely disappointed especially after seeing what WE COULD HAVE HAD. The Gacha style is horrible compared to other gachas. When you open the game you're hit in the face with microtransactions of course you don't have to spend money but the game is less F2P (Free to play) friendly compared to other gachas. The stamina isn't really an issue in the later half of the game but in the beginning it's EXTREMELY repetitive. I think this game had a LOT of potential but it was unfortunately ruined by the gameplay (Which the Devil May Cry series is known for) and the HORRIBLE gacha system. (That's basically begging for you to spend money on)

Now Dante can’t even use guns, not gunslinger, just regular guns. What more do you even have to say?

    I've played the first closed beta back in march of last year (and found a playable 1.0 build) and yeah playing this was just awful to the point I would call this worse than DMC2. Mainly due to the fact that combat feels extremely slow and it feels like I don't do much except mash buttons until something is dead (and don't even try to play stylishly because it's somewhat not worth it). The gacha is purely awful. The stamina takes forever to get back when in the first closed beta (maybe second who knows) it would come back fast or you just had a lot to burn. Micro-Transactions are everywhere (so nothing to say on that), but the last straw is that voice acting felt empty, same goes for the story being very forgettable (although not surprising since it's DMC). But the last straw was that they actually got it right in the beginning and just gutted all of that in 2.0 (also there is a lot of shady stuff with Nebula Joy so there's that)

    Now I'll admit. I am an idiot.
    I played DMC 1 and 3 only so far (I didn't play 2 because all of my friends did NOT recommend it.) of all the games, and I admit, I fucked up. I fucked up hard. I did not understand how I was supposed to play because I didn't realize it wasn't about damage as much as about being as stylish as possible. I before thought that it was about landing the right combo to do the most damage to enemies (which, I did find out later was sort of how it worked in DMC1 as different enemies had different weaknesses in terms of weapons and attacks they were vulnerable to). I was also constantly getting lost in DMC1 in terms of navigation (holy shitballs I got so lost all the time that I often pulled a walkthrough out, and mind you I beat Half Life without ever once feeling lost in terms of sense of direction). And I ended up rage quitting DMC3 because I just kept getting hopelessly lost in it (the Tower part, after beating hte Devil Triggered demons, I just gave up altogether). Its not that I didn't have fun by any means, the gameplay was dope as hell, I just hated the exploration and navigation, because I felt like they just kept sabotaging my flow and momentum I was feeling for the game. If theres one thing I hate in action games more than anything, its puzzles and navigation utterly fucking over the pacing and flow.
    Peak of Combat was like....a nightmare to watch. I could not believe what I was seeing, and it still feels surreal this exists. It definitely made me want to go back to DMC3 and finish it off, now understanding where I went wrong with my approach to the game.
