Well anons, after playing the game for like 20 hours straight, after it was released at 12 a.m., March 8th, I must admit this is the greatest Devil May Cry game ever.
The 10 year wait was worth it.

DMC3SE is still the best
if only they would've realized that a shitty playable character that is V, is not just absolute garbage but a waste of space when you could have Vergil
also only a few good bosses and they realized they wont able to top Vergil from 3 so they put in Vergil again with the same moveset with new ones MUH NOSTALGIA
fuck off
DMC3 still has the superior story, but the evolution of the gameplay cannot be unnoticed.
5 > 3SE > 4SE > 4 > 3 > 1 > DmC > 2
okay so it was better than shit?
Indeed it was user
>so they put in Vergil again with the same moveset with new ones
ITS THE SAME BUT ITS DIFFERENT???? WTF CAPCOM
>yfw Itsuno managed to make "fuck you" one of the best moments of the game
V is an extension of ideas Itsuno had with Nevan, retard, and quite good at that.
perfect
>fully upgraded Gunslinger
>double kali ann
ez mode unlocked
Fuck off Vergil nigger
Vergil battle in 5 felt slow as fuck? Did they make him slower than his DMC3 counterpart or am I just a better DMC player now?
he is slower and has less and shittier moves
DMC3 final Vergil is still the best boss fight
>yfw you can now use devil bringer on 2 enemies at once in DT because he has two fully formed energy hands
>Nero vs Vergil is intentionally easy for story reasons
>still die because I can't stop laughing and grinning at the dialogue, music and animations during the fight
How did Itsuno fucking do it?
>Are you ready to accept me?
>What, your existence or your power
>Both, you fucking asshole!
Fucking perfect.
>DONT SAY IT DANTE-
>JACKPOT
>DMC3 final Vergil is still the best boss fight
Yeah I really love standing in place and jumping a dozen times in a row as I wait for Vergil to stop spamming helm splitters.
B-But you hated me when i did it!
>mfw Vergil using fucking Judgement Cut End
>it cuts the fucking screen
anyone else clap at the credits? dmcv is a masterpiece of the 8th gen, finally! itsuno i want dragons dogma 2!!!
Nero did it first.
3 still has the best story. The one in this was so focused on fanservice near the end especially it just became unfocused fan fic. Level design is finally up there with 1 but it relies way too much on this breakable blood patch root stuff. Having to expect them infesting the design of every mission makes them blend together. The game would’ve been better without them, or at least only in the city section.
Boss lineup is pretty good but the Vergil just being DmC Vergil’s copy pasted moveset was pretty dull. No new moves to my knowledge. It makes the fights with Nero and Dante feel unfair because you’re just bullying this boss from another game not meant to deal with all your mechanics.
bait. this is easily the worst.
You basically do this with Dante vs Vergil in this game. He really should’ve had some new moves. Maybe utilizing some of V’s moveset?
>no new moves
Judgement Cut End, multiple Rapid Slashes, think he can do Perfect Judgement Cuts on higher diffs IIRC
3>5>1>4>DmC>2
The boss grabs in this game are really dissaponting. I guess since you don’t have the option to at all times like in 4 they got less attention but even Vergil’s devil bringer grab was pretty weak.
>only a few good bosses
You're talking about 3 right?
So is dmc5 pretty much made for 30 year old boomers? It feels like everything is ran on nostalgia for dmc1&3
>Vergil is alive and is final boss with complete moveset and DT
>V's familiar are all coincidentally the most annoying enemies in dmc1 (fuck shadows seriously)
>Ice doggo and nunchucks come back
>More sparda sword and special DT
>Lady/Trish fanservice
And much more. The only missing is bloody palace and playable Vergil which is pretty much paid dlc since they know everyone will buy it.
Yup. That were the good times.
Y
I mean like completely new moves. Like he dosent have forced edge or beaouwolf now so it doesn’t even feel like you’re fighting him at his peak. Why not have V’s cane or something?
I only saw him do helm splitter two times in a row max when I fought him on DH.
He dropped Beowulf after falling down that hole in 3 when they got their asses collectively kicked by Arkham and Force Edge is in Dante's possession and turned to Sparda. It's a shame boss-wise, but story wise it makes no sense for him to have those two
He did it to me like 5 times in a row. It’s not a hard move to dodge in general but with dante’s 4 moveset it’s like Vergil is outdated.
What about doppleganger and the new summon sword patterns?
I know I wasn’t implying he should have them specifically I’m saying his toolset is gone and he needed some replacement.
I'm so annoyed the battle music just doesnt play sometimes. Must be a bug or something
>inb4 you have to git gud to hear it.
Doesnt even work even when getting SSS
Summon sword patterns are still just summons sword. I’ll give you doppelgänger even though that from 3.
I meant like something literally not in the series before. I’ll play on harder difficulties and see if he does some more wild stuff.
I figured it wasn't a bug, just some levels having their own battle track that was unique to them
Also, despite owning the Deluxe Edition, are any of the deluxe only weapons actually worth using?
yeah because when you did it it was lame and cringy
I just played Mission08 and the music didnt play a single time... wasnt sure if it was a bug or not because the ambient music was more fitting to the setting but... yeah
Right there with you, I just finished a couple of hours ago and it was completely fucking amazing. So let's just get this out of my system right now.
I avoided coverage for it outside of the official shit and trailers and couldn't go in any Yea Forums threads for weeks because you fuckers love to spoil everything. But here we are. And if you're in this thread and you're planning to play the game for the story like I was, stop reading in case I spoil some shit for you.
I played on Devil hunter and endeavored not to use any orb revives whenever possible. That's probably my one big gripe is that instead of Health stars or some optional menu healing, you get a prompt to spend or buy orbs whenever you die and have to go through a menu, give me a gameover goddammit.
That aside, the combat was fucking awesome. I've barely touched half of everybody's movelist, especially Dante's. I had a hard time stringing together good combos on Nero until I got the buster arm since it's so familiar. I mostly favored that one combo where he slams the sword on the ground over and over because it looked cool as fuck. I spent most of my time in the air doing the standard high roller combo that let's you stay in the air longer, since I couldn't time table hopper dodges for shit. There was so much depth with the different devil breakers though. I made sure to try them all, It's going to be fun replaying some levels and stringing together combos. My favorites were Buster with all its unique moves, Punch line since it essentially works like crowd control while you deal with another enemy, or makes for even longer air combos. Never did figure out how to use the missile well though. I used Tomboy a bit too, it's pretty UNGA.
Story wise. I really liked Urizen's design. His whole arena with all the tentacles and lasers and shit going on was pretty satisfying. And yes I ate shit and didn't manage to trigger the cutscene without dying during the first encounters. cont
>not in the series before
Diving
I’m assuming the Pc version must be a bit bugged because cutscenes would just audio de sync sometimes.
If you could replace V's familiar with your own enemy choice what would it be?
You have
>1 ranged attacker
>1 melee attacker
>1 DT attacker
So is M13 the only mission where you're paired with players in the same room? I don't think I ever encountered another player in any of the other missions, half the time you don't even fucking see them. God I never knew how much I wanted co-op DMC until now.
It's supposed to wrap up Dante's story so he can step down and pass the reigns to Nero, of course it's going to be full of stuff from his games.
Where were you when Ladyfags got absolutely blown the fuck out?
No. The subway mission where you can choose to play as either Nero and V you get paired with someone as well.
Mega Buster has some cute megaman references, but isn't very useful in battle
Sweet Surrender is a sex joke, you can break it for a heal.
Pasta Breaker is a reskin of Punchline
There's a Gerbera reskin too.
I just wish mega buster and Surrender didn't appear in levels
It's a great game, but it's a stripped down DMC experience outside of combat. No items, no time limit for ranking, no puzzles, very little exploring beyond secret wall or secret mission. The gameplay is enough to rest on its own and it can make it hard to remember those things existed. 75% of the way through the game I was like "oh wait, there's no vitality stars or holy water?" Then I remembered that I never used those things anyways and all my dmc1-4 saves just have inventories rotting with items that never got used for a decade. Some puzzles would have been nice, Dante making a comment about it in game gave me a chuckle though.
Huh, I saw that it was starring another player but I guess I'm just too slow to get there before they kill everyone.
>no Turbo
It's shit
Wait for SE
Also when will they fix Turbo so Million Stab is actually inputable outside of mashing during the stinger animation, which fucks with my combos too much
I fucking loved V in the story. His design was great, and the ultimate conclusion just made me want him to last through the whole thing. His gameplay wasn't as fun as Dante or Nero's, but it was different. I think the biggest problem for me was having a hard time judging the distance that Shadow would spawn in from. I'm sure there's people out there who absolutely raped things with him though. I made the mistake of not using the devil trigger enhanced attacks until his illusion fight late into the game. I fucking wish he had survived somehow. Yes he's technically still in there, but fuck. I was attached. It fucking hurt to kill Shadow and Griffon off after having them be your companions through all the V levels. V is the best parts of Vergil given form, and as his own character I wanted more content with him. makes me fucking sad.
Oh yeah, let's talk about the other side characters. It was great to have Lady back. I actually even liked Trish more this time around. Nico grew on me really fast, and her library notes on everyone from her perspective were pretty cool. I also thought it was awesome how they tied in the anime, and Patty was still trying to get Dante to party with her. This 50+ year old man going to an 18 year old's party. Come on now.
Now, Dante's levels were where I had the most fun. I think because I'm already familiar with styles, and it adds a lot of one button variety to everything. Having the freedom to switch to trickster instead of having to rely on the default dodge roll helped me a lot since I fucking suck. I favored swordmaster and trickster at first. I still don't fully understand how gunslinger works for damage or if it's just for style points, I've never found it very good.
Oh yeah, DEVIL SWORD DANTE was hype as fuck. Dante has come so far he's the new fucking legendary dark knight, fuck yeah. Years from now we may get a game making an homage to this smooth motherfucker where the protag uses his weapon.
cont
Pasta breaker and gerbera01 are really good, vibrator is a wasted slot
in dmc3 smash aka crazy combos were easier higher the style rank you got... not sure if it was like that in 4 too.
I seriously hope that in DLC Vergil will encounter his demons once again, maybe as devil arms at least since it doesn't seem he has Belial anymore and Force Edge is now fused with Dante completely.
I know about the style thing, but I liked starting my combos with Million stab from Combo B in non turbo 3, but I guess that's just a personal gripe.
What am I suppose to upgrade?
EVERYTHING BABY.
But I would save off damage upgrades like "[Move] Level 3" and "Trigger Heart" as well as advanced stuff like "Enemy Step". If you buy from cheapest to most expensive you essentially get the dev intended order, but feel free to ignore entire weapons as Dante. He's overwhelming on the first play-- I didn't use anything but his default weapons!
why nero wasn't motivated in dmc 5?
One of my favorite bosses was Cavaliere Angelo. He was fast and agressive, he could block your shit, and the counters were satisfying. Reminded me a lot of Credo but probably easier at least on Devil Hunter. On top of that, he dropped one of the best weapons in the game. First time hopping on Cavaliere and discovering the donut move and infinite combo'ing and group of enemies into the air was fun as hell. I loved it and used it with swordmaster for awhile before switching back to Devil sword Dante for familiarity and speed.
The final stretch with V's level getting his pets back. Has anyone found the music that played in those fights? It was great.
Urizen boss fight was pretty okay, it wasn't as hard and crazy as his earlier fights, but I did have to spend some bitch orbs on it because I died and wanted to keep the story rolling.
cont
>muh Vergil
Getting a new character with a new playstyle is great and makes DMC5 feel like its own game rather than DMC4-2. If anything V could have been fleshed out a bit more with a proper story climax.
Vergil is the obligatory special edition character, always has been.
i would like to say that i called that vergil was the big bad of dmc 5
He was though. Even Vergil was like "wwhat power is this?"
So did most people. Him or Mundus were the two most popular predictions for who Urizen was.
But user he is so motivated that he unleashed his devil trigger despite being only 1/4 demon.
Not to mention his DT is even stronger than Dante and Vergils Sin DT.
He is very motivated.
too bad that vergil hasn't said anything about motivation in dmc 5
Nero was so motivated he stopped the bullshit feud between the brothers and gained a cool DT in the process.
Come Vergil time though, I gave that fight everything it deserved and spent at least a couple of hours smashing my head into the wall doing in death free. I made the mistake of not buying any devil trigger upgrades, so I had just the 4 notches. Which meant limited healing, less damage overall etc. I basically taught myself Royal guard during that 2 hours. I could block anything in his first form and would use all the perfect guards and stocked energy to knock him into stage 2. Then I would just get raped over and over trying to block his shit. It felt wrong to just tricker evade it all without learning anything, So I struggled a bunch more until I was blocking at least half of those moves too. Got pretty good at it and would just switch to royal whenever he did a move I knew I could block easily like the double flying slam. I had a few runs where I legit blocked almost all of his 6 daggers individually in demon form, and 4 attack rotations combos and all. Just absolutely destroyed him a couple of rounds, then would lose in the 3rd form. The flying attack in form 2 kept getting me because I didnt realize you could just jump over it and didnt need to dodge.
Form 3 I just got completely fucked whenever I tried to do anything but dodge, he kept mixing things up and I wasn't confident, so I would do royal guard for forms 1,2, then trickster for 3 and hope I could find attack opportunities, which was usually seeing him do a drop attack, switching to RG, parrying, then countering with my devil trigger. I always had to leave 1 block of DT so I didnt get staggered. My winning run he was at a sliver of health and blocking, and I cheesed him a bit with DT stinger twice for the final hits. It was a scrape, but I worked for it and will do it better on Dante must Die.
cont
4 already did that with a lot more grace I felt. It also didn’t really on the DMC2 “trapped in hell” thing.
Nero is 1/2 demon though. Just like Dante & Vergil. Sparda was full demon and Eva was full human.
did reuben made daante work?
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>give nero depth and make him fun to play
>give him snatch and devil bringer at the end
Whyyyyyy
Also dante's devil arms suck dick
Just finished. I'd rank it one of the highest, just after 3SE. Really enjoyed it. well worth the wait.
he wasn't motivated enough in this game
Its on par with 3 for me. Not better, but it falls into the same levels of quality / fun / depth.
It still fits on the controller and the Breakers are still direct addition except Buster arm
>DMC2 takes place before 4 now
What the fuck
At this point I'm just going to treat it as non-canon
3 > 4 > 5 > 1 > 2
this, although maybe I'd say 3 = 5
Overall, the game was fucking awesome. I personally really enjoyed it. I'm going to keep enjoying it, and btw the few comments I saw of you fags saying it sucked because you watched some faggot streamer ahead of release instead of playing the game yourself. You were dead wrong about everything. Fuck all of you and your shit opinions. Never listen to Yea Forums, never listen to the internet, dont worry about 'the majority opinion' because the majority doesnt fucking play video games. Make your own opinion and share with your close friends only.
DMCV was fucking great and I loved it.
pedohat looks fun
The gold orb system sucks tho. Why not make it restart the fight? Why do I have to go through some slow animation and menu to just give up. The gold orb continue system in 3 and 4 was fine. If you didn’t want to do the whole mission but wanna re do the boss, boom.
5 has the strongest devil arms in whole fucking franchise, what the fuck
Is is just me or does the purple orb model look a bit like parts of Urizen 3? Speciffically the eyes and teeth.
But he can, because his brother loves him a lot and would never really kill him.
The only time it felt like they were truly trying to kill eachother was DMC3 mission 20, and in the end Dante wanted to save him, while Vergil, ashamed, refused help.
And now, in his own way, through V and his final cut scenes, it feels even more so like Vergil loves his brother as well, in a twisted way.
Truly kino, anyone who's really close with a sibling gets this.
About how long is the game? Gonna get it after I finish the kingdom hearts series, halfway through 2 right now.
Nero's outfit is cool as fuck. Can someone point me to a jacket that looks similar to the one he wears?
Strong =/= Fun
Not only was it better than shit, it was actually really fucking great. better than 4, maybe even better than 3 if we can consider modern games contenders even.
They really nerfed style switching
Can't be as crazy as dmc4 in terms of combos
That was absolutely incredible. Struggling with Vergil then kicking the living shit out of him with Nero only to delay the fight just to hear the devil trigger remix a little longer.
So.. wait, if Virgil is the father whos the mother?
They are both strong and fun and unless other games have a fucking transforming bike or a double rocket launcher nothing will beat 5 in that aspect.
Just a quick question, I read a letter by Morrison early in the game and it mentioned that I would get more but I can't seem to find/unlock them. Am I missing something?
Nah, Gilgamesh still takes the cake for being strongest
The breaker where he smashes Vergil and his DT clone together was priceless.
Is there a reliable way to stagger Vergil when he DT? I can easily get pass the first stage when he's human, he's pretty predictabo and easy with Royal guard. But then the summon sword formation come out and you can get hit during recovery, plus his stagger seems pretty random, sometimes I can get good combo in but other times he's not.
Fucking awesome posts man

Get a job, hippie.
Forgot to mention I'm at M07 and still no letters unlocked god damnit someone give me more time to play
Balrog doesn't have massive DTE bonus that can kill a boss in 3 Real Impact
no, in vergil's
Hahaha fuck yeah. I'm so glad they got some resolution in the end. I don't know if its canon or just the loading screen, but on NG I have a screen with Vergil and Nero sitting together in Nico's van. I wonder if he really got out of hell when the job was done?
Not him user, But I got it yesterday after work at around 5PM, and finished this morning. Game isnt long at all.
For some reason you can only read them from the main Menu, not the mission menu or in-game pause menu.
Seems like an oversight, but whatever.
Also Trickster ground dodges are infinite now and I think teleporting to an enemy goes way further now. Not sure how anyone could call them nerfed.
>Kalina Ann II was made as a temporary replacement for Lady's original
>Dante takes both to hell with him
What a dick
DT'D stinger spam works for me
Style SWITCHING
Try to read, crew cut
>game released on the start of a weekend
Don't tell me you work saturday and sunday user........
That effect was really cool not gonna lie. You can see him in all the shattered glass frames cutting through them all.
Vergil wasnt in DMC4?
>divinity statues are still in like normal to shop
I fucking love capcom. Mission 8 is stellar too with the demonic setting for Nero. 4 lacked hellish locations
How is style switching nerfed when you can still press the D-pad to switch instantly?
in special edition. vergil's story in dmc 4 takes place before dmc 3
4SE
I noticed no difference, I even spammed style switches just to check it out
You should savor it. Like a fine wine.
My only gripe is the lack of puzzles. Combat is amazing but all the levels felt like linear cooridors
I WILL give them props though for the blood puzzle and dante making quips about actually having to use his brain though.
I agree that the niddhogs and blood roots were kinda unecessary. Should've been some more RE2 puzzle items or something. It wasn't too tedious, but I would like less of it too.
Combos arent as stylish
think about it this way
would you rather have it the other way around?
>Most annoying enemies in dmc1
Shadows were legit my favorite enemies in DMC1. Bladecat was a great design really ahead of its time, and I was happy to see it back. Griffon I liked for his voice over.
He's 1/4th
Vergil was 1/2 and diluted the blood even further by fucking some rando human woman
You could stretch and say Nero's 1/3rd demon but it's still not Dante/Vergil level
it's funny how this fuck you was not just a fuck you from nero to vergil, but a fuck you from capcom to ninja theory's fuck you
in the mission before it Dante also says "not in a million years" so I'm thinking this was all very deliberate
>when your brother starts reading porn infront of you
Any tips for gitting gud with Nero? I can pull triple S's out of my ass all the time with Dante and V, but I can't seem to do SHIT with Nero. The sword moveset seems extremely limited, as do the arms.
Gameplay
4 > 5 > 3 > 1 > 2
Story
3 > 1 > 4 > 5 = 2
It's payback for all the years she ripped him off
The statue are what Nero is using for upgrades. Nico has a little on her work table.
>lack of puzzles
>bad
Fuck outta here. DMC puzzles are complete trash even on the first playthroughs.
Nobody liked DMC puzzles unless they were as cool as demonic chess.
they were probably worried about losing even less of the audience that couldn't handle the button changes
What I want to know is why some versions had lense flair when she's naked and some didn't. I'm also curious if the 'injured Lady' model which has her wrapped up in the fatigues is different in that version.
Can someone tell me what the fuck is up with these live action cutscenes?
streamable.com
How do you get them to show up there? Also what's the best way to get the secret cutscene? I can keep up with Nero due to buster spam but Dante's segment is proving difficult to finish quickly
Exceed all the time. Color Up shots (revolver reload) will have enemies hang in the air no matter what damage they take, so shoot an enemy then hit them with a big Ex move for quick damage. Be sure to use the air taunt and enemy step.
People having fun on paycheck
And because?
I apologize to anyone who was watching my subpar performances. Especially with V, I was awful.
The lack of annoying ass puzzles is one of DMC5's greatest positives honestly.
DMC4 had so much fucking annoying shit, like the grappling platforming, disappearing platforms and THE STUPID FUCKING DICE BOARD GAME GARBAGE FUCK.
>Vergil vs Nero
>tfw you time his buster move with the Devil Trigger remix
>both of them kneeling on the ground as the song starts
>'feeling accepting yet?'

Had a smile on my face from ear to ear that whole, fucking perfection.
the way he says 'of your existence? or your strength?' is the most possible autistic way too
Are we in the middle or the end of Capcom's redemption arc?
I liked the original Subhuman better
>Love playing Dante
>Doing good combos midway through the game and it feels like skills and weapons are dispersed at an even pace
>Near the end there is a barrage of new mechanics, moves and weapons and I get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of freedom and moves Dante has on offer
>Proceed to just smash buttons for the last 10% of the game while fancy particle effects spawn
I wish the game was longer and the upgrades were dispensed at a steadier pace nearing the end of the game. Oh well, at least there is a lot of incentive to go back and replay the game, mastering every weapon, style and getting S ranks on everything + SoS. Though playing as V isn't as exiting and I'd rather be grinding Bloody palace but that can wait until it is released and I have S ranked all the missions.
Not him, but both the Ifrit gauntlet replacement and the nunchucks seemed pretty intimidating. The gauntlets seem like they have a lot of depth with the stance switch. I never checked if they ever get the meteors and shit that Ifrit had. fuck I loved that
Is this worth getting if I've never played a DMC before? How lost will I be in the plot?
REEEEE they throw away platforming sections almost entirely yet throw in a godawful secret mission about those grapple points.
Here’s my current thoughts:
Pros:
>combat is the best so far, broken abilities were nerfed without gimping them completely, making this game a large technical improvement on DMC4 as a whole
>variety is insane, V Dante and Nero all play differently and are fun to mess about with.
>Dante is somehow even better than his OP as fuck DMC4 iteration, and all of his weapons are fucking fun as hell to use
>Nero has some much needed buffs and reworking and now he’s fun as fuck, plus his DT is just awesome. Getting Buster back at the end of the game is a nice touch too, though I will say that as a “final boss” Vergil is kind of lame. Hopefully Son of Sparda makes him much tougher.
>game looks beautiful, voice acting is stellar and production value is sky high all across the board, music is excellent too
>the story, while schlocky in some parts, is as a whole pretty good. It has some major issues i’ll talk about in the cons section
>Sin DT is a great idea and looks awesome
Cons:
>there just isn’t enough shit to style on right now. The game is short as fuck, even more so than 4, since instead of two fun characters we now have three, and unlike 4’s Nero, none of them are gimped
>the way Dante got DSD was lame, I think it could have been a bit more emotional
>V is a great character and I liked him a lot, but he is a real missed opportunity. Using him as a too to further Vergin’s character is lame as fuck, especially because of how unique and interesting his design and gameplay was. Really hope he comes back in some form in DMC6, i’d love to see more of him.
>some mechanics are obtuse. Is breakaway even useful? I haven’t seen a major use for it yet outside of the one bossfight with tummy teeth
This is the best game in the series overall and Capcom met my expectations- which were already super high. Itsuno and his team knocked it out of the park, and this game’s critical and commercial success gives me hope that DmC is permanently dead.
Very lost plot wise.

*DEVIL TRIGGER*
How does the vanilla Xbone version run?
The final trailer threw me off of the V trail. I had accepted that Vergil was his own character, maybe Urizen. I did not expect the whole separation thing and was pleasently surprised, then immediately sad that V was dying :(
animenewsnetwork.com
V mango coming soon, be happy bro.
>Mfw no-one rated me as stylish during my first playthrough
Doesn't help that it's hard to see what others are doing during most missions so eh.
Who loves Nero's buster "exceed" mechanic? He truly has become the Unga bunga of DMC.
You might be a little lost, but the in-game backstory video gives you everything you need to know, it's just your job to remember :^)
But if you haven't played DMC3 you might not give a shit about the final boss and the story will fall flat. You should play DMC3 and DMC4 anyway though, you can get through both in ~20 hours total.
>Trailer drops
>Absolutely sick of Devil trigger by how much its shilled
>Game comes out
>Can't get enough of it because it only plays when at S Rank, and instinctively find myself trying harder just to have it play
oh yeah I forgot about that. This is just ANOTHER layer to how great that "FUCK YOU!" actually was.
Was nero the only dmc protag to flip the bird?
Me too
His DT isn't stronger than Dante/Vergil's Sin DT. They were just both extremely weak from fighting each other, which is a plot point you often see in DMC games. Remember when Arkham 1v3'd Dante/Vergil/Lady?
My arms keep randomly breaking. I thought the only way they broke was from detonating, doing a charged arm attack, or getting hit while doing an arm attack. I can't tell if there's some mechanic I'm not seeing or if my controller is broken and randomly adding inputs
I didn't watch anything the past month and thought V was crumbling away cause he couldn't handle the power of Sparda
How in the fuck could someone think 4 has better gameplay?
They plot isn't very hard to follow but you probably won't care about anything that is happening. Just download HD pack along with 4 and play at least 3 and 4
M19 Vergil is the real final boss (I thought he was tough desu), M20 Vergil is a meme fight that's very hard to lose with Nero's new powers
I'm just happy to talk about it. You know how it is when you finish an awesome game and just want to let it out when its a good experience. I got everything I wanted so I was really happy. The only thing I didn't get was V surviving in some form. I was secretly hoping Shadow, Griffon and Nightmare would fuse to act as some sort of body or embodiment of his will so he could keep existing in some form.
He probably means the flashing coloured light that happens when you switch styles is just a bright red now.
Admittedly, while DMC5 Dante combos will be super stylish, they won’t match the spectacle of DMC4 Dante flying through the air and flashing like a goddamn night club
>full unga
>doesn't mash attack enough to fully play out all UNGA BUNGAS
Thank god he didn't go full unga though. You never want to go full unga.
Yeah, but what do I do with the sword? His actual swings don't really seem to generate much style, even the combo variants. Which Dante I can just lay into a motherfucker with the gauntlets or motorcycle timed smashes and just be crapping SSS ranks, but it certainly doesn't work that way with Nero and his sword moves.
Having his devil arm be split into like 8 different components of the old DMC4 arm's capabilities felt like too much of a limiter, especially when you can't even cycle the fucking things without blowing them up.
here's hoping steam tracks everyone downloading the cracked exe and permanently bans all you pirates' accounts
What weapons or styles did you end up using the most?
If you get hit while using arms or charging Breakage they shatter
To be fair it's kinda hard to time 2 Unga Bunga buttons at once.
Like dog shit. XBox always gets inferior ports because no one gives a shit about the system. Just get PC, or PS4.
Shadow as melee is fine, but I wish we got the more "DMC1-styled" shadow, that despite clearly being cat-like wasn't a 1:1 model of a panther and had that shadowy aura around it. DMC5 shadow just looks too streamlined for my taste, but combat-wise I think it's already the best possible choice, being a shapeshifting blade/spear/boomerang demon.
For ranged I'd replace griffon with plasma, and for DT I'd replace nightmare with kyklops. I feel like those two were incredibly underutilised in 1, they appear in like 2 locations top.
If I could choose any combo from any game, then abyss for melee, auromancer for range, and blitz for DT.
How come Capcom managed to place the word "fuck" for the 1st time so well in this game? That dialogue was one of the best in the game.
That’s what I was thinking. M19 Vergil seems really tough.
Yeah, I want an option to just turn it off or something. Maybe introduce a difficulty setting that just shuts off revives entirely. I laugh when I think there are normalfags out there who will actually buy orbs from the psn store because they want to facetank a boss to death instead of having fun with it. GUESS THOSE JOURNOS HAVE TO DO IT SOMEHOW HAHA!
Cavaliere is fucking fun as fuck
Itsuno really upped the JoJo influence this time. Nero has za warudo as well as pummeling.
What do you guys think/hope the DLCs will be? It seems obvious that one of them will be playing as either Dante or Vergil in Hell finishing off the tree, but I'm hoping they expand it a bit and have them go hunt down and kill Mundus together.
If you time it right he will say it as you smash his face against his doppelganger, shit's amazing.
The gameplay is definitely immaculate, although yeah, it's up to us to really see if it's worth the challenge in later difficulties.
It's the story beats that felt that was moving a bit too quick. V being used to redeem Vergil without Vergil admitting he was wrong was really creative but V himself was too fun a character to just be a composite and deserved to be his own.
that webm took me far more times to achieve than im comfortable saying user
>mfw when I'm getting good at it now
its impressive that all this content came from the trailer alone
You can buy an official Nero jacket for about $7000
e-capcom.com
i love dante's new outfit
oh yeah shit is impossible. Was one of the first things I tried to do. I was impressed he made it that many BUNGAS.
>V comes back and Vergil has to deal with his human side constantly and groan about his poetry
>Dante and Vergil in hell
>Lady and Trish again
>Patty and Kyrie with a nice and peaceful dinner with the whole crew
I literally could not get them out fast enough, you have to understand
If you press bringer too late hell just do a grab, you have to literally press devil bringer RIGHT after you attack, and then exceed RIGHT as the animation ends, its beautiful.
Just finished it, even though the game was amazing almost all the way through, I felt the ending was a bit rushed and anticlimatic. Fighting Vergil again with super powered easy mode Nero was really weird especially just after beating him with Dante and then the game just suddenly ends. Even though this is probably the most polished and finished DMC, I think it should have had 4 more missions. Welp, time for a new playthrough.
I like how during the credits they're down in hell fighting again making it look like they just ignored Nero. Really they're just waiting for more demons to show up and sparring in between. I think Vergil really does love and respect his brother. Now he's got a son to pass some wisdom on to too.
Where did you re-map breakaway?
>DLCs
user...there are no plans for it outside of the bloody palace update next month.
>And yes I ate shit and didn't manage to trigger the cutscene without dying during the first encounters
There is no way to trigger the cutscene without dying. If you are good enough you get to fight him the full battle and beat him, unlocking a secret ending and the next difficulty.
Really.
20 missions. But lots and lots of replay value and mastery thanks to all the weapons. No doubt some DLC incoming too. Also get out of these DMC threads if you aren't playing it anytime soon ya damn idiot. You're gonna ruin it for yourself.
As mcuh as i love wrecking shit with V doing consistent combos with him is the biggest pain in the ass i have discovered so far.
When the familiars arent on the screen and you cant see what direction they are facing or what they are currently engauged in is the biggest flaw in his gameplay.
When multiple high levle enemies are present and the battles start goingyou will normally lose track of one of your familiars even though im spamming attacks hoping im hitting something and doing damage even when locked on.
Then when you notice an enemy approaching you are forced to double jump or run away to a safe spot in which case you instictivly stop attacking and regroup,but even off screen your familars are taking damage where in previous DMC game enemies wont start attacking unless they are on screen.
And when they go into stalemate mode you either wait till the revive while you attack power is gimped or it both of them are gone you have to navigate high lvl enemies with gimped dodging and try to avoid getting hit.
Summoning nightmare is an option,but hes so slow hes been getting ass fucking lately before he even does anything
see
V has no moveset and his demons are all dead
>Vergil's Judgment Cut is not just an animation but his actual body and hitbox also split up and move all across the screen
Holy shit
DmC was better, better soundtrack had a much more interesting atmosphere
this one is clunky af
Judment Cut was fucking hilarious the first time he did it because I took a few seconds to understand what the fuck he was doing, followed by a FUCK FUCK FUCK as I tried to escape
square, although I have barely fucking experimented with arms AT ALL. I want to master the double exceed first.
I fucking love the idea of a constantly active balrog just always jabbing on Nero
All directionalsare based on V, not the familiar
Who in their right mind would buy this? You could commission some cosplay pro to make the same jacket for you (tailor-made). It would probably run you less than 1k.
I fucking love that the anime is canon
How do you get Kalina Ann I?
>Finish charging up a move with either Shadow or Birb
>Have to dodge and cancel the charge
>Want to air buzzsaw something but Shadow just stays grounded sometimes
>Fucking stay on the enemy and stop reappearing near me
V never left guys, he's literally just Vergil without the edgy powerlust. I imagine we'll see Vergil act a bit more like him in whatever story content SE brings now that he's sort of accepted him and seems to have cooled down a bit.
>capcom game
>without dlcs
You high or somethin?
Just wanna say I've read all of your posts and I'm happy how much you enjoyed the game, user.
I would keep the line up but change nightmare from slow useless laser golem to original dmc1 slug dildo nightmare that can cover the entire screen in bullshit.
Honestly, the games main problems stem from the story. Vergils inclusion would be awesome if they hadnt made both V and Urizen as literally halves of Vergil. I was hoping they would both be original characters and that Vergil would have been on the side of good or at least I was hoping his goal would be to stop Urizen.
Its also lame how they handled some of the characters. Dante and Lady especially, ut feels like they never grew past DMC3. All they do is fight and eat pizza, its sad when you realize how old they are both getting. V "dying" was also lame, I was beginning to really like him as the game went on. I also wish we got a few more Dante weapons, I wasnt expecting to be able to use every gun and Devil arm at the same time.
Overall its a 9/10. Wish we could select any character we wanted for any mission after we beat the game. Hopefully we will get Lady, Trish, and Vergil DLC along with a mini campaign for them or something.
Its funny, Nero and V, two of the more unlikable characters for me actually became my favorites because of this game.
shit b8 m8
They say this but there's player data for Vergil in the game, and there's no way they're not giving Dan more screen time as Vergil. He barely got any screen time in the game proper. Also DmC managed to do a Vergil story DLC, I'm sure 5 can at least manage that.
V's gameplay is underrated
Does anybody have a full-body picture of Nero's DT?
I've got another question too. Nico talks about her father and his 'Research' and has a bit of a stutter moment when she meets Dante. I'm assuming Agnus was her father then? Also when they talk about her mom, when was she introduced? all I could think of was the old lady in 2 or maybe one of the anime character's I forgot about. I don't remember her at all.
I don't get it, guess I don't like brawlers because I do not like Bayonetta either.
no bait
DmC had combichrist and noisia
this game has some generic wubstep shit
do you think nico shares her father love of theatrics?
youtube.com
they do a really really really bad job of selling it, but the concept is amazing and I've always wanted to see them do doppelganger justice somehow
>player data for Vergil in the game
SOURCE PLEASE I WANT THIS TO BE TRUE
No one has figured out how to combine Griffon and Shadow's moves into a good combo yet. Those two both have directional inputs and I'm having a hard time trying to wrap my head around it.
Anime Lady a CUTE
It sucks compared to the other 2. Every time the game went back to V I felt like putting the controller down. He's too simplistic compared with the godly variety of options you have with Dante
Any tips on how to get gud with V? I was struggling with him all the way to the end. I also dont have all his moves so some tips on those would be nice too.
Yeah it was a bummer knowing that a potentially powerful villain and fantastic ally had to be the one to be sacrificed if it meant bringing Vergil back. I appreciate their narrative purpose but making them just be Vergil's halves instead of their own characters is really is one of my biggest gripes.
ranged attacker
Helbat
melee attacker
Scudo Angelo
DT attacker
Fury
I think I'm in the minority on this one, loved the gameplay. Just beat SoS mode, but I honestly thought the story was fucking awful. It gets good up until you find out Vergil split himself with Yamato (just some fucking new power the writers made up for no reason, like in 4 Yamato can suddenly open portals), then Dante does the same thing. The story turns into such a fucking power level wank fest so quickly, the pacing is bad on top of it. Both Sparda and Rebellion are canonically gone, and Devil Sword Dante unironically looks like trash. The most lazy and fucking uninspired "demon" sword I have ever seen.
And then onto the actual conflict, all of this is happening because of some newfound super intense sibling rivalry. In 1 Dante wants to defeat Mundus to partially AVENGE Vergil, in 3 Vergil has a means to an end in his quest, Force Edge. The entire story line of 5 involving Dante and Vergil just seems so hollow, like it was all just a lazily thought up plot just so Nero could have his Onimusha tier Devil Trigger scene. I also really disliked all the cursing in the dialogue, it felt so low brow and trashy for this series. Especially the end where Morrison literally calls Trish and Lady "crazy bitches". It just left a sour taste in my mouth, this series never relied on random cursing to try and get a cheap laugh.
When you're trying to S rank or speed run a mission, no one likes going through all of those menus for puzzles. But it does add a bit of atmosphere sometimes. Best solution is to include it, then remove it during reruns.
Only actual niggers could believe 1 or 4's story is better than 5. And only actual faggots could believe 2's story is equal to 5's. I guess that makes you a niggerfaggot
Some of you guys are being pretty harsh on the story when so much fun is present. Forgot the previous games' stories can be told in like 2 sentences? Same goes for this. At least we're not chasing a chinese man on a helicopter
I love that patty is in this game even if it's just a voice over.
Anyone else feel really overwhelmed by the SDT? I feel like I have no idea how to use it and you get a such a short time with it that it just feels like a waste. Is there a way to enable infinite DT in the Void so I can mess around with it more?
>Dante is an old generate desperate for cash who just sits around and sleeps all day
>Vergil is even older and still only cares about beating up his brother
>Trish and Lady are only there to be seen naked and get tentacle raped
They really shat on a lot of the main characters in this game in terms of their story. It makes them all look bit pathetic.
Dante even implies that Trish and Lady are so powerful that only Vergil could defeat them, but they don't join the fight at all after getting Urizen'd and just spend the whole game sitting around in the van.
Nico is based as fuck though
Dodges/double jumps summon your dudes. Use that if you want to reposition them near you for an attack or if you see they're about to get their shit pushed in.
Charge Griffon's Back+Square and Shadow's Hold Triangle for stationary traps. Plop V right next to them for some protection from melee foes.
V has a test tomorrow and he really has to study, so be sure he's reading the book when you can manage having less mobility. It charges faster when you're near enemies. At least, I think it does.
I have to disagree on it being shorter than 4, 4 took me around 9 hours and 5 took me around 14 hours plus some void mode and stuff
The story is pretty silly when you put it out bluntly.
Dante helps V defeat irgil to fuse back into a slightly less autistic form again
I sucked with Nero too. Exceed revving seems like it takes entirely too much effort for the payoff. I'm assuming anyone good with it just times the after attack presses or uses MAXact
Nero’s fucking cute, I’m glad aeysgohgacgeuvaxp
FUCK YOU
Holy shit itsuno pointed to the heavens and hit the moon.
>tfw gtx970
>capped at 60fps anyway
runs fine but whenever I pop DT on Dante it stutters for a moment pretty hard
I don't even know if its possible for me to get rated since I dont have PSN right now. I did see other players in limited mode though.
Why the fuc cant i get this
>It gets good up until you find out Vergil split himself with Yamato (just some fucking new power the writers made up for no reason, like in 4 Yamato can suddenly open portals)
Yamato sealed the Temnigru or whatever in 3, though. It’s always had dimensional abilities of some sort.
Dante getting his own Devil Arm named after himself is also something that needed to happen- Sparda had his own sword named after himself too. I don’t personally think DSD looks that bad, I like how it opens up while swinging, but I can absolutely see why someone would prefer Rebellion and Sparda individually.
They were still dashing at each other with their full strength that they had left in tow for the last attack when Nero stopped them
you have to get a little strategic about it
when you want to pull off some combos and directional inputs with one summon make sure to put the other one on auto mode, always bear in mind where your position is in relation to the enemy and dodge or double jump to recall your pets
have the book out as much as possible to conserve DT, try to have multiple enemies in stalemate to get that SSStylish chain combo
sure his moves aren't as complex as Dante or Nero, but I think people approach it the wrong way
the whole gimmick with V is that his battles have a wholly different dynamic to them and you have to counteract your habits and muscle memory
I've yet to beat devil hunter but I'm sure he'll get more interesting on higher difficulties where enemy AI wants to hurt him more
Really fun game desu but I gotta finish my backlog. However, I refunded it, I'm gonna pick it up on a sale in a few months I think. Does anyone know if I'll be able to keep the pre order stuff when I rebuy it?
>Exceed revving seems like it takes entirely too much effort for the payoff.
Oh well nobody REVS the darn thing. Even if you're not so good, you should be attempting to get the max-act every time you use the sword. Eventually it will become second nature.
Summon Nightmare
Yes. Go to player settings and set DT to “refill” or something like that
Killing Mundus would be child's play for any of sparda's descendants at this point
It's not "was great", it's "is great" you dumbo.
Vergil splitting himself may have been cool, think about it, he was possessed by Mundus. It could have been a perfect explanation for Mundus being V.
Unfortunately, we got this nonsense. V AND Urizen are both literally Vergil. That is pretty stupid. I agree the cursing should be avoided.
The worst part is that I feel like this story was trying to wrap a lot of things up but instead of too quickly. They needed a big bag guy and a way to resolve the Vergil story, so they combined them to save time. Oh well, it wasnt too bad, just disappointing.
I really dont like how they are portraying the original Devil May Cry crew as a bunch of heartless lazy mercenaries. Dante honestly has lost his way since DMC1. He fights only for fun, he eats trash food like a little kid without parents to mediate his bad behaviour, he doesnt do anything with his life besides bumming around. In this game he looked dirty and washed up, even by the time the game started. I feel like he really doesnt care about anything anymore, Lady and Trish dont seem to care about him either.
Cool as fuck
why wasn't Vergil's title The Darkslayer? I was totally waiting for that
>ripped him off
Maybe he stop wrecking his shop
DMC5 is just setting up for more Devil May Cry games. That's why there's a movie about the previous DMC's in the main menu and why they go into so much old stuff in the game. They want newer players to have an entry into the series without having to play games that would feel outdated to them.
Minor complaint: this game is so fucking chockfull of loading screens.
>Loading screen to the mission menu
>Loading screen to the customize menu
>Loading screen to go back
>Loading screen to join the mission
>Loading screen to every single cutscene
They are fast, specially on my ssd, but they break the flow.
Why such a fast and responsive series never had a single responsive menu? No 1, not 3 didnt play 4 yet
Father is Agnus yes
The mother isnt important, but the grandmother is, since Nicos grandma is the legendary gunsmith who created E&I
Oh fuck.
Thank you crapcom.
please get anime adaptation too.
>hold a button for the gun charge
>have to hold a button for lockon
>have to tap two buttons for sword-ing a motherfucker
>oh and half your moves throw a fucking enemy 10,000 miles away so make sure you're quick on that pull in move
I think it's about time Capcom just fucking let lockon be a toggle already. Holy shit. Nero's control scheme is so damn busy compared to the others because half the controller needs to be held down at one time to do anything.
It would be good closure for the characters though, as well as something to bond and come to better understand each other over. Maybe the final boss of the campaign could be the brother you're not playing as after they laugh at how pathetically weak Mundus is now.
I knew something was eroding him. He was shambling from minute 1 basically. I just didn't know how bad it was until later on. I really wish he had stayed somehow. definitely not over the loss
>mfw finding out V has an S rank air taunt
Next gen can't come soon enough.
Half you moves launch enemies and the other half lock them in place.
That's my major complaint. Especially coming off of 80 hours of REmake 2 which has almost no loading screens.
>Everyone joked about DMC4:SE being Vergil May Vergil 4: Vergil Edition.
>DMC5 actually might as well be called Vergil May Vergil V(ergil)
>with their full strength
lol no
there's a reason they knocked him on his ass after his fight with Vergil
Forgot image
Yeah that's probably one of my biggest complaints with the game. They're pretty short all things considered, but they're so common that it really just sucks.
They are quick like you said the only one that really gripes me is the customize one. Why isn't it just apart of that menu that you have to load into it I just don't get it.
Best arms for Nero? The palm explosion seems like dog shit. And are there any hidden moves for the arms? I know you can ride the rocket fist, but what about the others?
Man, what a ride.
I'll say that Nero handles better than in DMC4 and the Devil Breakers add immense depth. I easily learned to S (and beyond) somewhat consistently, even with a wonky left arm.
Dante isn't all too much different, but his Devil Arms are fucked up. Mostly. Balrog handles so different from Ifrit, Beowulf and Gilgamesh that I kept fucking up just from muscle memory. Cavaliere is cool as fuck but very hard to control. At least Cerberus is good.
V on lower difficulties is a style machine if your right hand handle the input but fuck up one move and you're screwed.
needs to be redone but better. those fuckers jobbed it. We can do better with real passion, with REAL MOTIVATION
15 hours for the story, but way more if you intend to get high scores and complete the game
I should have clarified more- DMC5 feels shorter than 4 since we don’t have 2 characters but 3 now, and each is able to support a game on their own. The result is we don’t get enough time with anyone since they’re all so fun
Itsuno makes good gameplay but can not make consistently great boss fights to save his life. He's awful at it.
anyone have that picture of Nero and his arm and a disintegrating Donte
>Literally sprouts wings made from pure motivation energy because he's do damn motivated
Just curious if anyone else has had audio problem on the XBONEX. The opening cutscene with Nero flexing his fingers, the sound cuts in and out. The same for that message that starts when you begin the game (can't remember what it says), and the first cutscene of the game at the Capcom presents screen and Morrison talking, the audio and sound duck in and out. What could cause this?
The boss fights were good just not memorable.
I unironically blame the artstyle a lot, the realism does not help the demonic designs.
what's going there?
The only bad boss fight of 5 is Gilgamesh.
Nidhogg was pretty fucking bad.
>other one on auto mode
Excuse me WHAT? you can make those fuckers do shit automatically?
also thanks guys I had figured out that the side dodge calls chadow and the back dodge calls feather face, but I feel like I ALWAYS do that back square attach with the bird by accident because I'll be shooting and then when I back strafe the input for that comes out because, well, Im pressing the input. kinda hard to wrap my head around "ok if you want to shoot dont back strafe OH SHIT SHADOWS ALMOST DEAD NIGHTMARE OH FUCK OH JEEZ"
>Patty and Kyrie
I'm surprised we didnt even see Kyrie on screen. I'd love to see both of them.
also lol@Nico fucking teasing Nero when he sees lady naked. or in her character logs about trish saying "he was so inexperienced when we first met" poor guy can't catch a break, but hes loyal to his waifu through and through.
Just beat the game on Son of Sparda, Vergil kicked my ass even as DT Nero.
Any tips for Dante Must Die, dmcbros?
Nidhogg is basic but saved by the bantz.
I laughed way more than I probably should at Vergil's title drop. "The Alpha and The Omega" is so ridiculous when the reveal was meant to be very hype and emotional.
The worst part is when you die
>do you want to go to the store and buy orbs?
>are you sure you don't want to buy orbs from the store?
>wait for this game over message to load really slowly
>select checkpoint
>loading screen
>have to walk back to the boss (sometimes)
>have to skip cutscenes (sometimes)
Just let me press one button to restart the fight god damn. I got so sick of how long that took I just ended up using gold orbs against my principles.
Genuinely more to do with V being a chore to play than the boss being bad. Though the boss is nothing special.
>He's 1/4th
>The twist of DMC6 is that Nero's mom was actually a demon, Nero is 3/4ths demon and explains why hes so much more powerful lore-wise
>Nero's mom slept with Vergil to obtain his seed (power) and becomes the villain of 6
FUCKING CALLING IT DUDE
You don't have to lock on for Griffon to shoot stuff and not miss.
>Cavaliere is cool as fuck but very hard to control
Cavaliere is literally the easiest thing in the game to use.
>Tap button
>when you see glow, tap button again
>repeat until you go into the spin and get instant SSS rank as a result
>mfw Nero just completely fucking bitch slaps Dante and knocks him out
>The only bad boss fight of 5 is Gilgamesh.
I actually thought he was pretty fun. Nighog on the otherhand...
sounds plausible. or like a fucking lie, I can't decide. still makes me feel bad for jobbing it though
The moment boomers lost
7/10
worse than 4, but ok
Do you see Kyrie in the game?
Are there any other actually "good" DMC players here? Tell me what you actually think about Dante so far. I havent even completed the game yet but im at the same time overwhelmed and somewhat mistrusting of the new systems because it seems like the safety net of what was in DMC4 is almost completely gone (rg cancels are almost dead, obviously no guardfly, no inertia, even fucking starrave is basically dead with DSD)
Meanwhile practically everything flows together effortlessly even without trying but the weapons themselves are very complex and you can have fucking 8 at the same time. It feels like DMC3 Dante with style/ weapon switcher amped up to eleven with buffed styles
EXACTLY
The problem is the constant change in direction from controlling V and not knowing how far or how close your familars are so you end up wasting attacks or not attack when you should and the familars take damage and end up getting stalemated.
People say V is the easiest to play with ,but his gameplay is just the simpilist,but V is actually the hardest to use.
With Dante or Nero you can keep dodging and attacking enemies you see about to do something,but with V when you see an enemy about to start attack you, you must jump away and reset your familiars because they may be on the other side of the room and you end up missing opportunities to counter at the right time.
V is SUPER FUCKING FUN,but difficult due to having to maintain his demons properly.
But I want him to hit THAT target
>V has a test tomorrow and he really has to study, so be sure he's reading the book when you can manage having less mobility
kek
In the History of DMC thing on the main menu, it implies the timeline in 3 1 2 4 5 instead of what we thought of 3 1 4 2 5
almost needs like, a fixed location lock button or something. Like if you sick shadow on a target, he wont come off that target no matter where you are til you unlock him or he kills it.
Until it's revealed that Nero's mother is actually Vergil who created a female clone of himself with Yamato and sent her back in time (with Yamato) to have sex with himself in order to produce a pure demon son he could eat to gain more power
>Game gets hyped to shit
>Comes out
>It's actually good
>In 2019
What the fuck?
Welcome to last month and RE2. 2019 is the year of Capcom redemption.
It felt like he barely did anything as I beat on some punching bags.
Having 4 weapons on at once was too much. It actually sort of ruined my Vergil fight. 3 was hard enough to get used to and those were FIXED weapons, so itll definitely be interesting to see how the meta shapes up.
I still found myself trying to guard cancel trickster dashes all the time
rofl same here. Had a lot of "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS" moments
I know, but the game won't register my-
You know, melee in general feels odd. Might be my controller showing its age. It's my old secondary PS2 spare that has a USB port. I've been using it since DMC3.
>dying
Nah, they're still DLC jews. Fuck 'em.
Hopefully their fucking fight game division takes lessons
>MHW
>RE2
>DMC5
What the fuck, my top 3 recent games are all Capcom games. What the fuck world is this, I don't know what to do.
Where is that image from?
DT makes them act automatically
If you DT Griffon, he will do shit on his own while you control shadow and vise versa
You can DT both of them at the same time.
V is all about DT management, really. Make him read his book a lot.
I'm really sad that they killed off V. Well, he wasn't even a real person to begin with but i liked his personality and the way he played (most fun out of the 3 for me)
This sounds like something Vergil would actually try if he could
>mfw post game nero
Yeah chief that's what the timeline is now Capcom confirmed it
LT + X/Y puts the respective summon on powered up auto mode for a short while and used one DT bar, you can see when it's active with the purple aura around their model and healthbar
it's really fun putting them both on auto and then taunting/reciting poetry
>Mega man 11
>Okami 2
>A New Phoenix Wright trilogy
Just watch. Capcoms going to come back tenfold.
Mission 11, explore a bit after make the bulding collapse fully.
The anime was honestly really good. Has a great intro theme too. Shame Dante didn't go to Patty's party after all.
youtube.com
>What the fuck world is this, I don't know what to do
As shocking as it may seem, companies like Capcom once produced GOOD games. We're just so inundated with actual shit these days from long dead companies like Square-Enix or literal anti-christ companies like EA, that we've forgotten good games can exist.
Dante and Vergil's aggression towards each other felt like they needed a bit more real emotion to it like at the final moments of Vergil 3. I sort of wanted Dante to say that he seriously mourned his brother's "death" twice but everything feels a bit "too" casual to have the emotional highs reach it.
>Okami 2
Wait what
Thanks for reading my blog friend. I'm glad you enjoyed the game too. This game will get shitposted for years by people who never bothered to even play it or cared about it. That's why we've gotta live in the moment now
MY own female clone!! Now neither of us will be Vergins!!
M20 on Son of Sparda and Dante Must Die is fucking hard too
Why do I need Buster Arm again?
Are you running borderless fullscreen? It causes the cutscene desync issue.
>diluted
That motherfucker has more raw strength than both Dante and Vergil.
you can manually break an arm, maybe you're hitting that button on accident.
Also they break if you get huit during a regular attack, not just the charged one
>DMCV: Two Manchildren settle the score while the kid gets the development (with)out Kyrie
Just give him lasers that fire from all angles of his body at once. Problem solved
>V unlikeable but became a favorite
Same here friend. I got really attached to his story, it's hard not to sympathize.
>put Bringer on L1
>now instead of exceeding with just L2, roll your finger along L1 AND L2
>literally twice the amount of combos
Human blood is power for demons. The amount of demon in someone is inversely proportional to their power.
OG Buster has no i-frames and lesser damage I think.
you can use breakaway to escape grabs
you can check it out post game in the gallery model viewer.
That tutorial prompt was so goddamn hype. I wish it didn't disappear so quickly lol.
Using two fingers on the triggers feels wrong to me. I mapped Buster to Circle so that I can get nice Knuckle combos by rocking my thumb across Triangle and Circle.
>tfw have to wait until march 13 for physical copy in bananaland
FUCK
What I love about this series is unlike DB which has influence to the series, humans are actually strong as fuck and can wreck shit with high motivation
I know her mother is the gunsmith, but is she referenced in any other games or media? is she ever on screen?
Does somebody knows how I can replay the final mission with Nero in superpowered mode? I just tried in order to retry the fights in the credits because I had to close the game just at the start of them but now Nero is usual Nero again.
It's in the prequel novel. To make it short, Nell had a son named Rock. Father of said son divorced Nell and had a daughter named Alyssa with another woman. Alyssa worked for Uroboros, company from DMC2, and that's where she met Agnus, somehow genuinely loving him and finding him cute. 3 years after Nico's birth Agnus got called back to Fortuna, but he insisted his wife and daughter stay behind with Rock. Alyssa soon died from illness, Agnus never called, so Rock adopted Nico.
Nico is actually not blood related to Nell, but loves her anyway and thinks of her as her actual grandma.
>Sparda and Rebellion are gone
Nigga he can materialize that shit whenever he feels like it. It's part of his body now.
So, the more a demon is human, the more powerful he is?
Supposedly the grandmother is the lady in the picture on Ebony. Nico points to to it and says "there she is!"
>physical
lul.
>mfw digital boy who got to experience the ending with no spoilers
Nico's grandmother, Nell Goldstein, is from the very first novel that accompanied DMC1.
Yeah dude. It's like demons are little bombs but humans are untapped uranium. Mix it right and you get strong freaks with lizard arms.
AW FUUUUCK I beat the whole game on devil hunter and didn't even know that shit. I noticed that they were both doing shit when I had nightmare out, but I didnt know you could separate them. props guys.
Pic related is me.
She was pointing to the .45 Art Works inscription, the women on pictures are some unknown pieces of art.
>two fingers
you use one, you roll it across l1 and l2 to time the l2 perfectly with an exceed
>at least we're not chasing a chinese man on a helicopter
rofl that could have legit just been a single episode of the anime rather than an entire game. But hey, that game had some troubled ass development, and it helped get us here today. So whatever!
I WISH V WAS HIS OWN CHARACTER DAMN IT
>character you play as has dialogue
>voices are different when in regular/DT/SDT forms
>activate DT mid sentence
>voice changes with it, while talking
fucking based
But he is, Vergil.
>>do you want to go to the store and buy orbs?
>>are you sure you don't want to buy orbs from the store?
This literally never happened to me
>have to walk back to the boss (sometimes)
Git gud
So what are the 3 million orb taunts?
>mfw bustering Malphas for the first time
SEPARATE FROM VERGIL
Just like Dragon Ball was supposed to be, the more a Saiyan is human the more powerfull he is, but Akira is a faggot and fucked up Gohan.
>nero having kids could literally end the world
Don't know but I imagine its them drinking monster energy drinks
everything in DMC4 was child's play for Dante
most of this game with the exception of Vergil was child's play for Dante
it could still make for a fun DLC
Why the FUCK are people whining about the story in this game? The only DMC game with a good story is DMC3 and coincidentally that one has one of the best stories in the medium
DMC5 is told very well but cant reach those same highs since it wants to conclude the franchise while passing off the torch to Nero again. I mean Vergil 3 is probably the best ending to a videogame so I dont know what exactly were people expecting. DMC5 has a stronger opening and its cutscenes are extremely well done, the script is good and the setup is far stronger than in any other DMC game.
Dante....LOST?
name a fucking better opening to a game like this than when the tentacles start bursting out and the game skips a month ahead
cute tranny
CUTE
Hahaha don't worry. I was the same way. I only figured it out when you had to get your pets back. I was having such a hard time killing Cavalier angelo with just Griffon and remembered something about DTing them. Makes them a lot stronger too.
>At least we're not chasing a chinese man on a helicopter
what are you talking about
Fucking same, dude. They'll have to make some asspull to bring him back :/
On the plus side it made the fight against his familiars very emotional! I can't think of a better moment from any action game like this than having to put down the animal friends who are fighting to the death out of necessity. Not instinct, but loyalty.
Ehhh.. it was good but it wasn't Devil may cry. It felt more like Nier automata/Bayonetta and took far too manby cues from them about being an action game. DMC had a very specific feeling to it, it was like action Resident evil, which is now gone. Theres almost zero puzzles or goals in any of the levels other than get to the end. But worst of all the entire feeling and atmosphere is gone. Where are the fixed camera angles? Why the over the shoulder crap? Even DMC4 a modern game, still managed to keep the charm and atmosphere of the original trilogy, but this one just feels so vastly different. Its a good game yes, but its not a DMC game.
ME WANT LADY GF
I've been up for like 22 hours to play this game. I can't into grammar. no one will see or remember this shit I wrote anyway
Torrent where?
Sarina cute
>Post your face when Vergil impales you and goes to taunt, but you're packing DT
Areus in DMC2 probably
Huh. His hands really are tiny.
>judgement cut
>everything frozen
>CATCH THIS
>Beat game.
>Only found 6/12 of the secret missions first try.
How many did you find on your first trip?
Games great but story is so ass
>20 hours spent on giving an excuse for Vergil to come back from 'dying' in DMC1
>"Yea I suppose we can get rid of the apocalypse tree off screen now"
just like his pecker lmaooo
>Taunt Vergil
>HE TAUNTS BACK
AAAAA
I liked breaker arm. They've all got a special move, apparently the whip one also extends your wire grab range which is pretty cool. The palm explosion can be turned into a bomb that you can shoot too if you charge it.
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR SON VERGIL
HIS EXISTENCE OR HIS POWER?
BOTH
Really? what about when Nico dropped her spaghetti and basically revealed that Agnus was making notes about how Dante would look good in a cowboy hat with a scarf
Sauce?
Have you guys seen this video
everyone be quiet, Lady is sleeping
>being this fucking retarded
>that one has one of the best stories in the medium
This is a joke right?
DMC3 is pure cheese. It's better written than the other DMC games but even Bayonetta makes it look poorly written, and Bayonetta isn't well written either.
The games have never been well written, but with that in mind, most complaints about 5's story is that it just feels like a weird nonsense plot to revive Vergil followed by an anti climactic ending that just sorta resets everything to post 4 status except
>Nero is a bit stronger now
>Dante is trapped in hell now
>Vergil is alive now
I feel like the game is like MGS4 if it was done well and wasn't a mess.
So how do you get to this secluded area with the 2 deactivated grim grips? It's right before you enter the tunnel in the flooded map full of roofs.
>Neither of you are going to die today
>"That bitch slap nearly killed me kid"
>this is the greatest Devil May Cry game ever
Devil May Cry 3 is better
trash moviegame nothing but cutscenes lmfao
I want to have a foursome with Nico, Trish and Lady.
Just thought you all should know that.
If you want, you can actually just unequip any weapons you dont want in your rotation. That's what I did during the vergil boss since I kept accidentally swapping. Ebony and Ivory+DSD only
>that S rank violin taunt with V
this game is gold
>dramatically stripping naked in front of a business partner after being beaten, abducted, drained, puppeteered by a demon, and being introduced to the reality that this tree is getting over closer to destroying the world and that Dante lost his first fight.
Felt a bit out of character
>Dante says "not in a million years"
>it's in a good game this time
Another surface level pleb filtered hard by DMC3 it seems
The dialogue/ scenes themselves being "pure cheese" has nothing to do with anything
Nah it's the opposite of MGS4.
Lots of great gameplay with a short cheesy does nothing story
Whereas MGS 4 is a tiny bit of great gameplay with an overextended yet rushed does too much story
..............................
I NEED PLAYABLE VERGIL, I NEED YAMATO
Pleb, the true goal is a monogamous relationship with Kyrie
GIVE EM A TASTE OF THE GOOD SHIT!
I think I finished it in about 9 hours
when does he say it?
upgraded trickster teleport is op as fuck, just dodge everything while staying in their face
might try royal guard more in another playthrough
Nico was really cute in that scene. I didn't think about Agnus's notes about Dante but in retrospect, that's actually quite funny too.
The MJ scene caught me off guard also despite following every trailer (except last) since I thought he'd get it from a boss/devil instead of being handed to you. I enjoyed every second of it.
>(just some fucking new power the writers made up for no reason, like in 4 Yamato can suddenly open portals)
do you guys even play the games
>DMC4 a modern game, still managed to keep the charm and atmosphere of the original trilogy, but this one just feels so vastly different.
I haven't played this game but I felt the exact same way about REmake 2. Pretty sure most of the people praising capcoms new stuff are zoomers or people who don't really have a long history with the franchises.
I know yeah that's what I mean. It's MGS4 if it had a good and satisfying story that managed to have a ton of fanservice but still work, the opposite of MGS4.
Ah yes let's throw some random references to the inferno that don't even fit the same context that makes a great story.
Let me guess, you think spec ops the line is greatly written too huh?
one of the arms is literally a sex toy that nico made for neros gf
no really, read the description.
>every cutscene where you call Nico
I love this shit, based as fuck.
you already destroy its anchors on the human world, dante and vergil went to hell to shut down the portal, not really to kill the tree
>I figured it wasn't a bug, just some levels having their own battle track that was unique to them
Yeah, that's pretty retarded. What the fuck were they thinking?
>ORANGE MAN BAD
It's honestly really true. any of you fucks reading this should take note of this poster. Like, we've grown so used to just accepting shit games because they're kinda fun, and there's no alternatives. Then you get a real good fucker once in a blue moon that's just as good as the oldies and it sends hype to the sky. It's not all rose tinted glasses, games really can be better than we've come to accept.
>cavaliere angelo boss fight as dante
absolute perfection
>activating devil trigger with rawhide equipped will upgrade your snatch technique, letting you pull in some heavy enemies once they've been staggered
how far has itsuno gone...
>Pretty sure most of the people praising capcoms new stuff are zoomers or people who don't really have a long history with the franchises.
Isn't that basically everyone? Sounds like a good thing though, appealing to as much as possible while still keeping most of its charms with the niche.
>Dmc5 story
>Good or satisfying
Yikes, no.
The world ending threat of the tree is literally handled off screen and the whole story is just there to revive vergil.
if you are just starting, get max-act for nero and exceed asap
that and double jump
> I must admit this is the greatest Devil May Cry game ever.
AHAHAHAH HOW IS THAT EVEN A FUCKING BENCHMARK HAHAHAH
It's bad because Kamiya didn't direct it
I laughed at Dante saying "not in a million years" to Vergil. Absolutelly no way that wasn't a poke.
>got Sin DT
Bloody Palace can't come soon enough
fucking 2
And I didn't find any more on Son of Sparda run, I just rush to the next combat section cuz it's so much fun
>that one time where it burst from the ground like a land fucking whale
I fucking lost it at that point and I thought I got used to her breaking every wall in the game but that was just next level
Fucking kino.
Holy shit the delusion
>option to have a different voice say "Devil May Cry" on the title screen
>one of them is crewcut
Havent played it but youre actually retarded if you think what makes DMC3 a good story in anyones eyes has anything to do with what it references
I also specifically said its probably the best story in videogames because it has no flaws in its execution, it doesnt try and fail to be a hollywood movie that would only impress anyone in a game, its the story of a game and it knows it. Every aspect it does it does well and you should probably educate your retarded self on the subject before trying to talk about it first. Even a quick youtube search probably explains it in some hour long video already
4, although i found the pattern for secret mission 2 but i couldn't find the spot you're supposed to stand and look at it from
dances
>3 characters all shooting their fancy particle effects everywhere
this isnt gonna fucking end well
it already fucks with me when its just one guy
I'll have to check it out. As repulsive as chocolate chin is, in his younger years he might've been a looker.
Same amount as you user, and I'm rather meticulous at exploring stages myself so that surprised and frustrated me a bit. I blame it on the Nightmare summon requirement on V's stages since they didn't quite explain it to you until way later on.
>Nero keeps following his dad and uncle like an abandoned puppy
Poor Nero
It's a good thing financially and for the namesake. But they've already fucked off half the niche with that shit. Also zoomers are incredibly fickle so it's not even a sound long term strategy.
Want to know this too drove me crazy when I got here yesterday and couldn't do anything.
Oh fuck I forgot about Kyrie. Make that a fivesome.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S NOT FAIR
I just came back from week-long Yea Forums abstinence after beating game. God damn was it worth it.
What did I miss?
>it's a good game but it's not a good Devil May Cry game!
>DMC3 is one of the best stories in video games
lmao what? you can't be serious
I mean it's a great game, don't take me wrong. but the story is not that amazing
It ends when they make a good fighting game again
how would you react if vergil kept stating how motivated he or nereo was during his boss battle?
What are some good moves for AoE dmg with Dante? Am in Mission 16 at the moment, and am kinda struggling against all those hordes. I am kinda trying to Royal Guard them for AoE, but the timing is really nasty.
how many games have come back like this after a shitty reboot?
I thought the series was dead after donte. Glad I was wrong.
Based trannyposter
What delusion? I assume you are a boomer that has a long history with the franchise and you think everyone is like you? Yeah engage in 3 seconds of discussion here with the "fans" or even go to a DMC centric forum and u will find out that's not true. I don't even play this series and I'd bet my entire estate on it.
It definitely felt that way with leaving Dante and Vergil in the demon world, now whoever takes on the reigns for 6 will be free to either leave them and focus on Nero or bring them back as they see fit. A split campaign of the boomer bros fucking it up in hell and Nero working on the surface before coming together in the climax could be neat.
playable vergil datamined and modders have already gotten it working, lots of cut content as dlc
>I also specifically said its probably the best story in videogames
Yea that's a big fucking yikes from me champ
You need to broaden the number of games you play. Try stuff like legacy of kain, Planescape Torment, new vegas, system shock 2, Chrono Trigger etc.
You're basically trying to make the argument that Die Hard is better written than Citizen Kane because no one gets lost by Die Hard's story
>who are fighting to the death out of loyalty
fuck man, I didn't want to do it. They were legitimately concerned for V and his wellbeing. They were bound to him but they actually cared about and wanted to protect him.
Well, he was abandoned, but he is only really a puppy for Kyrie.
If you want something different, go play DmC you fucking faggot.
Balrog breakdance move, Gunslinger shotgun move, Drive if you can line them up
Separate enemies with knock back moves, use Swordmaster gauntlets, or if you have the cavalier, just use it properly. The spin for timing moves properly with it fucking wrecks everything.
donte was just spanish soap opera in regular dmc universe
youtube.com
>I haven't played it
well maybe you should play the games you're coming to judge
I don't need a Nintendo Labo buddy.
I didn't judge anything other than REmake 2.
According to an user in another thread he has a motivation line if you parry him a few times.
they drop a lot of hints with nero with his abilities
many of his teleports have the same sound as vergil's teleport.
I found 3? They aren't even one per level apparently. The first one shows up in mission 2.
oh my god
DmC was just a Shakespeare story in V's book
This is as retarded as that one copypasta that argued dark souls is the hardest game ever made
You clearly haven't played DMC3 then. That game is the peak of the action genre. DMCV is a good game that's all, Uber you are one of those fags that thinks the exact same shit every time you play a new game "whoah it's the GOAT of x franchise", fuck off.
why id V so cringy
bros be straight with me, is Kick 13 on Balrog or is it just an inferior Ifrit?
It was pretty heavily implied since the start of DMC4
That's amazing GOOD FUCKING JOB ITSUNO
>I also specifically said its probably the best story in videogames
Doing a story by the book(pun not intended)=/= perfect story
Ive played the majority of those, legacy of kain has fancier dialogue but the only one out of those id put even close to DMC3 in terms of story and general writing is system shock 2
>You're basically trying to make the argument that Die Hard is better written than Citizen Kane
Except that the "writing" of DMC3 is just a small part of its perfection in terms of story. Its telling that the vast majority of players completely misinterpret/ miss the nuances in the game like the fact that Dante and Vergil are both literally mentally damaged due to their past and put on a persona for the overwhelming majority of their screentime even while being alone. The depth of the characters goes as far as something like the mission names which reveal Dantes character more from an objective narrator than his own fake persona betrays ingame
She's had a few years to chill out
>DMC 2 is quite literally the ignored middle child of the pack.
You can´t make this up.
spanis soap opera fits better. also hope nico is into Shakespeare, just like her father
I didn't know what DMC was until the announcement trailer last year for DMC 5. DMC 5 is probably one of my all time favorite games now.
Are you bad at the game or just retarded?
Feels good playing through it before the spoilers can catch you, doesn´t it?
