Saw your last post, so here goes!

What's your favorite scene from the dmc games? 👀

Hi, my dear mutual, thank you very much for the ask)))

The answer came to me surprisingly easy, though I have two of them because I can't decide - Nero roasting Goliath and King Cerberus weapon intro from 5. I love my plot (you know that), and there are some great emotional beats in dmc, but they are kind-of fanon in a way that, they exist in your head, you have to envision them happening. If it's dmc3 conflict scenes then you have to rely on your vision of what's going on through each twin's head in order to fully get the tragedy that's happening. There is beauty in leaving it to the imagination, and you know I love finding more and more stuff to be sad about interpretations of characters.

But also when you're in-game it's all wacky wahoo demon gore gameplay, keep calm and make them cry, have fun, y'know, so the best feeling cutscenes are the ones that resonate with your feelings as a player. This is also why all Vergil fights are so distinctive, cause with every other enemies you get to have fun and play around, but when it comes down to Vergil - it's now serious (though skilled players bully the hell out of him too). I imagine the same applies to the Nelo fight, and Mundus...if he wasn't a weird shooting gallery, the game does stumble there.

Nero bullying Goliath is just...very sweet in a way? Look at the adorable punk boi go!!! That's also kind the moment that solidifies him as the protagonist, cause if from there the entire game and plot were from his POV I wouldn't have minded at all (but I am very happy to have so many characters to play with). He feels much more self-assured, he grew out of teen angst that made him relatable, but kind of cringe-y to watch, and he just casually bullies a church-sized demon, that's very cool! Even started adapting his uncle's lazy-sleeping tendencies, that's adorable mimicry right there.

And KC weapon introduction is just chef's kiss. It's absolutely perfect. The KC fight itself is all great and fun and crazy, and the weapon intro is the cherry on top.

Seriously, just listen to the boss fight music. I have no idea who allowed this, but I want to thank them very much. When did the game become a techno-rave??? Why is an elemental dog techno-raver??? I have no idea, but this is so. fun. Also the little smile Dante does in that spin attack kills me, it's adorable (also Dante clearly needed new toys to play with as moral support for 5 plot)

Honourable mention: Nico barely avoiding hitting Nero and Nero going 'perfect timing'. That had me snorting xD

I would love to hear your answer to the question as well!
