After playing DMC5 on both Devil Hunter and SoS I gotta say, the game just gets much better in SoS mode. Enemies are much more aggressive, bosses have more mechinic's and in general is just a much better experience. I really think SoS should have been the normal mode instead of what we got. Welp, onward to DMD mode and then to kill myself in the meme Hell and Hell mode. Overall I think from a gameplay standpoint DMC5 is the best one, storywise DMC3 is still the only good one.

First play through is a tutorial basically
Definitely what it feels like
I wonder if they made DH so easy to get people who are normally put off by complex action games to finish it
This desu, if it's not, I bet reviewers won't give it 9 all across the board. It's like, if the older games had casual filter at the start of the game, DMC5 has the casual filter at the end of the game. Though I bet reviewers and bad player spent all of their yellow orbs in dante vs vergil.
Played human the first time through...didn't think it would be that easy.
What happens if you use an orb anyway?
>Easy mode is easy
Who woulda thunk?
How do i get the song playing with lyrics in the final fight?
I thought Devil Hunter was Hard and Human was Easy?
You revive with full health and dt on the spot and get a shit score at the end
Nah, Devil Hunter is practically normal, SoS is hard.
This actually makes sense. Itsuno probably know's long time DMC fans are going to play and beat every difficulty mode, while casuals are probably just gonna one and done the game. So he put Dante's Cerberus and Nero's DT at the very but of the game cause casuals wouldn't make use of them.
Your mission rank decreases, using it once or twice will only get you B, using a lot can gives you D rank which I got because I got casual filtered by vergil
Human = Easy
Devil Hunter = Normal
Son of Sparda = Hard
Dante Must Die = Extreme
should i play on son of sparda or human
Vergil took me a dozen tries to beat since I wasn't using orbs. Still don't know what to do on his final phase. I skipped it by doing a Royal Release on him just before he entered it.
Human = Easy
Devil Hunter = Normal
Son of Sparda = Hard
Dante Must Die = Very Hard
>Meme modes
Heaven and Hell = Everything dies in one hit including you
Hell and Hell = You die in one hit but all enemies are as hard as DMD mode
Pretty much how it's been since DMC1, higher difficulties need to be unlocked.
Anons in the other thread found out that simply attacking him while he's doing the jet plane stops the attack. I was trying to be stylish and wanna perfect timing RG it, it didn't work so well
>Hell and Hell
enemies are actualy Son of Sparda difficulty
It's always like this in DMC.. Easy is for people with disabilities, Normal is tutorial, Hard is the real game, and DMD is the challenge mode.
I tried to attack him, but if I wasn't in Sin DT, I didn't have any luck. That's not was I was talking about. I was talking about the final phase where he uses Doppelganger. I never found an opportunity to attack him in that phase. He'd just wipe me every time I got to it, so I eventually just say on my royal gauge until he was at low health and killed him before he started it.
human mode is about as difficult as a mario game
Devil May Cry has always felt shitty until you get most of the character upgrades, this has been a problem since the first game.
The fact that enemy step is locked behind a massive paywall fucking sucks.
Is there any point in switching styles after you get Dante?
Swordmaster is by far the most versatile style in the game after that.
>massive
You get 45000 orbs in two missions.
x0.9 multiplier to overall score each time. Not bad, S is still possible with it, though hard to get
Trickster lets you teleport to enemies and Royal Guard lets you royal release, which is Dante's most powerful attack. Gunslinger is shit as usual.
Oh, just kill the doppelganger, shooting it works too as it has low health. I just RG vergil in his final phase then when on to release on him, though last time he still got some health so I finish him with a stinger
So fun with some tough spots here and there?
Yeah but i dont wanna replay mission 1-12
13 is where the game actually starts
Literally git gud you fool
Yes, on higher difficulties just spamming SM shit will get you killed. Royalguard is especially needed for a few boss fights since it tanks damage and Royal Release is the highest damaging attack in DMC
You're crazy, dude. The beginning of the game is way better than the end, and on SoS you get to fight late game enemies in the early levels, so it's the best of both worlds.
Anyone else just using 2 devil arms? Having 4 to swap between mid combo is overwhelming. Im rebellion/cerb and e&i/coyote-a here
The real question is why is the camera so shit Yea Forums? up/down move at a different speed then left/right. Why?
While I think the game is great the whole way through I do agree that the earlier levels are stronger than the later ones.
I think that's actually what Itsuno does. But personally, I like to have everything all at once.
>nero levels
>better than dante levels
I disagree
Ill just wait for bloody palace i guess. I dont want to play brainless boring shits like v and nero
You can adjust the camera controls.
I'm really bad at cycling through all of them, but I'm trying to learn it because unlike in DMC4, all the weapons in this game are actually good.
>Only using 2 devil arms
>Not using Balrog
Balrog has the most comboability out of all of Dante's weapons.Other than that you can play how you want its fine, just don't expect to do all that well on higher difficulties or in Bloody Palace once that comes out.
The camera controls don't do shit. The difference between the X/Y axis still exist.
Up/down moves slower than left/right, so no matter what you do it's going to be fucked.
Dante levels 10, 11, and 12 are all good. 16 sucks. To be fair, 18 is a good mission too, but the rest are just boss fights. And Nero's Mission 15 is shit too.
I personally think Nero with all they shit they give him is much more fun than he was in DMC4, I also think V is really good too. Dante is still the best but I'd definitely go through BP with all three.
You're absolutely buttfuck retarded if you think 4's weapons aren't good
This, punching demons then switching to kicks is satisfying
Anyway to unlock SoS from the start? Haven't bought the game yet, but I was kind of hoping I could have the same ass crushing experience I had the first time I played DMC3's original NA release.
>you dont use my fav weapon ur bad lol
Really?
You can SSS in this game without style switching or weapon switching.
Lucifer is the most unsatisfying weapon in the series. Unless you're spamming Pin Up in an enemy's face, it's a total drag.
I have a loadout for Rebellion and Balrog as well. Not really feeling the DA selection this game
There's a rumor that you can unlock it by beating Urizen in the prologue but good fucking luck doing that with no upgrades and base health. Even on NG+, I can't do it.
Balrog is garbage
Enemy step is OP though.
the DMC3 cheat code still works
Seriously?
DMC4 is the exact same. Source: having played through DMC4 on DH just before 5. If anything is harder just because of Vergil.
This
>4's weapons
>Good
>Luficer is shitty and just doesn't feel fun to use
>Gilgamesh is just a nerfed slower Beowulf
It should've been "The Young Devil Hunter". Poor Nero.
Yep but you need a controller obviously
I actually started in Human just because I haven't played a DMC game in ages, and thought it would be fairly forgiving but still tricky in points. I really underestimated how easy it would be though. I switched to Devil Hunter after like the first couple of missions.
>Balrog is garbage
>Not knowing the joys of switching up punches and kicks into air combos
It's by far the best fist based weapon in the series
>Gilgamesh
>nerfed
t. didn't learn just charge
>Im rebellion/cerb and e&i/coyote-a here
This is a patrician combination. And yea I agree, even 3 weapons seems to much right now but I still haven't fully gotten the hang of just 2. Maybe someday...
I got an S rank on every mission in DH on my first rank apart from 1 and 10. I want to get a clean sweep before I move on to SoS, but I can't for the life of me S rank 10. Did anyone else have the same problem? I'm even doing things like not using DT so enemies stay alive long enough for me to style on them.
I dont like :
Nero
V
Guard doesnt cancel most animations
Weapons swapping doesnt cancel animations
No rolling guard
No inertia
No reversals
No turbo
No distortion
DSD fucking up Swordmaster
Sin DT pretty much gives Dante a no effort I WIN button
Dantes Devil Arm selection (Ifrit/Beowulf/Giglamesh shits on Balrog)
Shitty story
My custom battle music only works on like the first 3 levels per character then gets replaced by the game for muh story
Vergil cop out boss
No vergil theme remix for boss vergil
I like:
Dante
Rebellion
All the guns
OST
>E&I
Why? They're still worthless. They barely do enough damage to take out a fucking Qliphoth tentacle. It really pisses me off because E&I were basically the only guns I used in 1 and 3 (and 2 lol), but they're fucking worthless in 4 and 5.
That's not a bad idea. It's overwhelming as fuck to switch between 8 weapons.
I do know Just Charge, but even then it just doesn't feel nearly as fun as Beowulf was in DMC3 or even Vergil's Beowulf in 4SE
Use Balrog. Fire punches until ignition and then breakdance. It's an easy way to get style points. Put an emphasis on rushing the timed room so you get more points from orbs.
Level Gunslinger nerd
I did. They're still worthless. It's telling that they're better in DMC3 even without Gunslinger.
This for certain, also explain why they give so much gold orbs
>playing V in SoS
>that part where you have to kill Cavaliere, Goliath, and Artemis
>trying to do anything
I hate him so fucking much
>Using guns for damage and not combo extenders
>can kill a tentacle with one stinger and a slah
>it takes 4 uncharged coyote shots
guns suck ass, rainstorm is cool though
I thought that was one of the coolest missions on Normal. I'm looking forward to it on SoS.
Shit, didn't think about collecting all the orbs, I was trying to rush through things to get a better time. Thanks!
I wish Vergil was just playable instead of him.
Enemy agression already ramps up when you start playing as dante, even on devil hunter.
>Shitter probably said V is just a spam character when playing through the first time
>Get's to SoS and now has to actually learn combo's with V
>"WHY IS V SO SHIT!!!???? WHY DO I HAVE TO LEARN TO PLAY AS NEW CHARACTER????"
Could you be any more of a 4bab?
Time does not effect rank at all in 5. It's just style points, orbs, and items used.
I literally stomped them on Normal, playing on SoS right now and looking foward to this fight.
>guns suck ass
somebody haven't seen double kalina ann
>tl;dr
>I hate that this game isnt DMC4
Then you can just go play that if you have such shit taste
>Get's to SoS and now has to actually learn combo's with V
>Try doing basic attacks with Shadow
>no matter if I'm locked or unlocked, near or far, he just keeps teleporting to my side
>trying to use jumps for i frames instead of SHadow dodge
>literally no matter what I do, he wont do a combo, he just keeps teleporting to my side
If he fucking worked consistently I might be inclined to practice him, but its just fucking random what he does.
He is a spam character, though. I'm using the same stray on SoS as I did on DH and it's still working. Mash with Shadow (high time and spin on slow or airborne enemies), charge neutral with Griffon, read book when possible, summon Nightmare, SSS everything.
NERWFLASH SECONDARIES, DMC HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS.
DIFFICULTIES AREN'T LOCKED FOR ARTIFICIAL PLAYTIME, IT'S TO GET THE PLAYER ACCUSTOMED TO THE GAME AND GET ENOUGH SKILLS TO TAKE ON HARDER DIFFICULTIES.
>hates nero
>must be 4bab xd
Dummy
Outside 4 things, none of those are strictly dmc4 related. Dumbasses
I don't think anyone is saying otherwise
Faster
>Thinking Balrog is shit
>Thinking Gilgamesh was good
>Having this level of transcended shit taste
i want a mod that changes the vergil boss fight music to vergil 2
If you hate on gilgamesh youre hating on ifrit and beo. So fuck yourself
Are there SS and SSS mission rankings?
>DSD fucking up Swordmaster
What? All the shit rebellion had in SM should have always been part of just the base moveset. I much prefer the SM now.
No.
Making SM a dedicated projectile button instead of sword attacks is pretty lackluster. Dante doesn't need summoned swords. Vergil will fill that role.
>Ifrit
>Cool yet simple moveset and fun to use
>Beowulf
>Fast and has a very cool looking moveset especially with Vergil
>Gilgamesh
>Mix of the two that just doesn't feel right at all and is just way to slow
Ifrit is much better than both beo and gilgamesh and it was the best fist weapon before Balrog has revamped the whole moveset to make it waay better.
I don't know user. I just always felt like everything rebellion could do in SM should have always been part of the base moveset. Rebellion in 4 just felt really limited if you werent on SM 90% of the time unlike all the other devil arms. I just think the summoned swords are really fun to combo with.
To be fair, Ifrit is the most limited of the 3. It just feels so good because it fits the gameplay style of 1 so perfectly. Laying into Nightmare's cores with charged attacks is amazing. Every hit feels like you're shaking the earth.
nothing beats Ifrit's Kick 13
>Dante, get this foolish hat off me. These are not "cuhrayzee" times, Brother
>"Ridiculous!"
General Consensus on SinDT?
I feel like its cheap, avoid using it. Almost done with SoS now.
What do you guys think?
Had so much fun in DH mode with balrog in webm related that i died to Vergil at least 8 times. On the downside, i fucking stomped him no sweat with Nero. Sparda mode is going to be fun
It's cool, and fits in story wise but yea its OP and I will also avoid using it.
each style has utility. learn them
Leave it to Itsuno to completely turn around
>FUCK YOU
into a moment of pure kino. That fucking theme kicking in too
>Dante acting like fucking Bruce Lee when he has the nunchucks
This is too fucking funny.
Great fun to use on DMD. OP as shit on DH. Equivalent to normal DT on Devil Hunter when playing SoS.
why do people seem to have such a hard on for 3? i figure with the improvements made in 4 and 5, that people end up ranking them higher than 3.
It's literally what he did with DMC3 after DMC2. Take the good ideas from a shitty entry and make it refined in the sequel. History repeats itself
Is it just me or did Trickster get buffed hard from 4 to 5? The infinite ground dashing alone makes it extremely useful during the final boss.
He did that in DMC3 as well.
But the DMC5 variant of the nunchuks is fucking bonkers compared to the original. In a good way I mean. It mantains all of the original moves and basically gains two sets more.
Fun as fuck big FUCK YOU button finisher.
WAIT A MINUTE THAT'S NOT VIRGIL THAT'S ROBBIE ROTTEN
>greatest weapon in dmc history is bad
nigger
DT stinger him. It gives an enormous hitbox that'll at least push you through Vergil if he isn't vulnerable and kill the doppelganger in one or two passes through. Not the most stylish, but is a dual pass of a lunge THAT cheap?
Was outright the case for Bayonetta 2. Inaba warned people that 2's hard is 1's normal.
Call me a fag but 3's story elements were really nice and established Vergil's character and significance so well that it carried his ethos retroactively through 1 and 5. 5 is without a doubt a superior game gameplay wise but as far as the limited character/story progression goes, it's hard to top 3 since it's so solid in that regard. The music was definitely more emotional too.
Impossible.
Robbie is not motivated.
Trickster was buff, RG was buffed. But Dante gets infinited normal dodges too and you can dodge everything with them as well.
>Nero gets a QUADRUPLE fucking jump without JC or cancels of any sort
>IT HELPS WITH HIDING YOUR GOD-AWFUL HAIRLINE! YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME, BROTHER.
Vergil 3 is one of the best final boss battles in video game history
Otherwise the game has it's ups and downs
Fun enemies and fucking annoying enemies scattered about.
Christ son of sparda vergil dosent fuck around. Gold orbed my way through to see what his moves are like before I go in for a one shot run. He's beyond crazy and I love it. Nice to see new moves and summon swords, I imagine DMD is just insane
I use 3
ditched the bike and the hat, fuck slow weapons and fuck consuming red orbs
Last thread got archived super fast after I posted it, But what's your dream DLC user?
Same but I did RG instead of Balrog, holy shit when he went on DT blocking the 3 judgment cuts and the releasing when he does the fly charge is sooo fucking amazing
Anyone else having a lot of loading hitches on the PC version? Not fps drops but micro freezes the game has when rendering stuff.
Been trying graphic settings to see if I can make it better but on some missions it just does it almost every time enemies pop out.
spam 13
What’s your favorite boss?
Trickster and RG were buffed a LOT.
TRIGGERED
There were some improvements but a lot of bullshit to go with it.
3 just has a lot of fun weapons and moves to play with, and some great enemies to use them against. It also has a really consistent tone and good writing. 4 and 5 has stuff that gets in the way, like how 4 was literally unfinished and 5 has some V sections that people don't like.
Also, I just like having a guitar that summons demon bats.
It's so much more over the top in this one though.
Plonking the hat on him is so much fun.
Micro freezes on my end too, sometimes during a cutscene which just desyncs everything
Anyone got a high-res shot of this? Now that I finished it I think I'm ready to stare at it.
Also some shots of either twin's SIN form would be appreciated.
DMC5 is the best gameplay wise bar none, but DMC3 tends to have a special play in peoples hearts cause of the story. It's literally the only DMC game with a good story, amazing even.
Those boss gauntlet variations of the themes are pretty fucking nice, not gonna lie.
youtube.com
Also liked how they at leas gave then new textures, to make them seem being made of ice. Much better than just plan refights.
>Gunslinger is shit as usual.
No reason to upgrade it, it's only useful for faust's citcular attack.
I didn't even use RG because I assumed it was not changed much from 4. Definitely gonna try it during SoS.
Mini Dante and Vergil hell missions that ends with them reuniting in the DMC office with everyone, make the mission screens after you beat the game make more sense. Other than that, classic costumes and maybe a weapon pack for Dante and Nero
When Cavaliere Angelo was shown off first, I hoped for more Angelo fights. Slightly disappointed we didn't get more.
>Patty's belated birthday party guest starring Daddy Vergil
>Kyrie's dinner table
>Nero's quest to revive V
Apart from combat it has the best storyline of all the DMC games, great gothic environments and overal great cohesion.
I liked fighting Malphas a lot, but I brutalized her so much that I didn't really get a chance to study her attacks. I have a feeling she's gonna stomp me on SoS a few times.
every single game in the series is like this except for the original US release of 3 that started you on SoS. even DMC2 gets enemies that actually kind of fight back (before you juggle them to death with guns)
>5 has some V sections that people don't like
From what I've seen everyone loves V and his gameplay style. It's just Yea Forums being its usual contrarian self.
So is Gunslinger shit as usual? Does no damage, no style, and offers no versatility whatsoever.
Have they given a timeframe for Bloody Palace. Is it ways off or just a bit delayed?
V's great once you unlock most of his moves. Now the fucking AI can taste Shadow's earth spikes.
You have more frames to get the perfect guard (it feels close to DMC3) and if you fuck up, it takes your DT rather than your health.
Is the remixed version of the DMC1 combat music that plays when you fight the V summons up on youtube??
>Fight Mirage Cavaliere first in V's gauntlet
>Pick Nightmare by accident
>Just have to dodge with perfect timing until I fill the DT Gauge
Kino desu
Glad I ain't alone then. Still, its pretty shitty when it happens mid-battle and I can't find any solution other than
>get an i9 lmao
because apart from that the game so far has been 90% 60fps on everything with almost high-max settings.
Yeah I love V. The forum I frequent loves V too and some of it's members are way way way more hardcore than I'll ever be
Charge coyote shots have their place. Faust is for fun and nothing else.
90% of Yea Forums's theories came true in DMC5, including all the batshit insanity revolving around V while the most convincing one (V is Mundus) is not real.
I feel like Matt browses here just to fuck with us
Anyone know how to unlock V's Ex color? It's so pretty but it seems like everyone that has it has no clue who got it
How about Ifrit's Wall of Fire
>wrecks Frosts
>Wrecks Nobodies
>Wrecks Nightmare
>Wrecks grounded Plasma
Face it, WoF is great and stylish when you trap a handful of enemies in it
People like V because he's easy as fuck. That's the problem. Maybe I'll find him more fun on DMD, but even on SoS, he's just tears everything apart no problem.
>some great enemies to use them against
I used to think that but after 100%ing DMC3 I now hate like half of the enemies in DMC3, some of them are just straight BS and the bosses are very hit or miss. Outside of DMC2 bosses, Arkham is by far the worst boss in the series.
>(V is Mundus)
I'm sure that user is lurking around where he debunked how V can't possibly be Mundus because Mundus is fucking dead as opposed to seal and was told how stupid he is by that Mundus fag.
Killing Mundus for real would be nice, even if it would be piss easy with how much of a power jump Dante and Vergil went through in 5.
Why didn't Dante unlock SDT here?
This one is, at least
youtube.com
>tfw we all had fun speculating about the return of Shadows and Psycho Siren
>Itsuno the madman actually delivered
2
Man I wish I was crazy. I just spammed one shitty combo when there was an opening and run around like a bitch the rest of the time. SinDT'd his clone and continued to run around.
But attention to details like this is what I like about these games.
Play a shit ton of missions as V
how do I get the snoy lights off lady's butt on pc, bros?
I thought it was stated in multiple places that he was only sealed away instead of being killed. As retconned 1 might be, didn't Dante even say to Mundus that his kid will seal him again next time?
I still love the artworks out of that theory
Is that confirmed?
honestly, dante and vergil settling into a goku and vegeta dynamic is completely a-ok with me.
Defeat DMD Vergil withiut taking Damage as Dante to unlock EX V and EX vergil
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE TIMING FOR THE BUSTER ATTACK ON FLYING VERGIN
The tracks are called "Grilled Tandoori Smoke" (Flock Off remix.) "Silent Siren" (Psycho Siren remix.) and "Psycho Machine" (Mental Machine remix.)
is this loss
He didn't have Sparda
does dmc5 actually have heaven and hell / hell and hell?
Thats what I was looking for. Thanks
> Completely and utterly style on a guy while playing side by side on mission 13
>SSS rank for half the fight
>Kill 90% of the demons
>S-SS rank when I'm not at SSS past the first 10 seconds of battle
>>Guy hits S rank briefly once
>Still doesn't give me "stylish!" rating
Ungrateful bitch.
He didn't want the power then
He didn't have Sparda.
I think all you need to do is beat the game, I got it after playing Human difficulty
he didn't absorb Rebellion and Sparda
All we know is that its confirmed for April. When in April? We don't know.
I'm so happy it's real
yes
What costumes or minor DLCs would be cool? Some new arms would be baller, maybe some gun skins too
I flat out know I've been given stylish by a person I know but it didn't show up on my menu. p. sure it's busted.
Maybe they'll have that fixed in time for bloody palace
Shirrako, the first leaker said he unlocked it after beating Son of Sparda.
V feels like a character that would be in one of those korean action MMORPGs.
Yes, its in the trophies
What's your LEAST favorite aspect of 5?
I hated how all the weird occultish puzzles and key items got shelved and replaced with zelda keys. Also the lack of exploration and the general linearity, as well as lack of gothic architecture in favor of random ruins. It really hurt the atmosphere.
The sections insde the tree were nice and surprisingly varied though.
I also hated how the characters seemed to randomly go WAIT A MINUTE THAT CARD mid-gameplay as if the lock and key puzzles and linear levels weren't simplistic enough.
So he just gets both sheathes on his arms? Vergil's wings seem to be oriented downwards while Dante's is completely spread out
Rate Nero's DT.
DMC1 Dante or Nero's prototype design clothes.
>He still hasn't unlocked the Crewcut level
DMC1 Dante
DMC4 Nero
Angelo Armor for V
I think i got it doing the clear mission 19 & 20 without using a continue
Make me wish for a new Onimusha
That's bullshit, because I've got it and I'm less than a half-way through SoS.
>Too much jumping around in time sort of breaks the flow
>V is too unique a character to just be a plot-device Vergil-half
>The locations generally being either Ruined Red Grave or Tree Land, although I don't think they could have done much there
help
I save SDT exclusively for Fury. Fuck those things, literally worse than Blitz
>WAIT A MINUTE THAT CARD
That's a series staple at this point. Even 1 does stupid zoom ins of where you need to go.
On a side note, puzzle and keys are only really applicable in the 3rd game. And only at the start of it before they put you on rails and keep you there
Mission 15. The design is just bafflingly bad. All those spikes, every room looks the same, the whole level is twisted in a knot, and those Angelos just sitting in doorways, what the fuck is that?
>that photo system for defeating enemies
they really knew what they're doing. great addition
It really does for me
>What costumes or minor DLCs would be cool?
DMC1, 2, 3 and 4 costumes for Dante.
DMC 3 costume for Vergil
DMC4 costume and order costume for Nero
DMC3 Concept art Vergil costume for V
Genuinely surprised at it's design. I don't hate it and the arm/wing motif was pretty clutch.
>continues
I only used one against Urizen because fuck dodging his shit again. I died and restarted Vergil's fight because reviving there felt cheap
8/10
Great buy dont like the long hair
Does the Buster Arm have any use after NG+, since Nero gets his normal buster back?
>So he just gets both sheathes on his arms
It's Yamato's true form.
Maybe it's just number of V missions completed, then?
Sparda game when? Or Sparda returning when? What would he think of the current cast?
>I don't think they could have done much there
Make the architecture more gothic and the city less ruined, there. Throw some kind of castle or cathedral there.
The tree sections were good.
That last point of yours makes me wish DMC, along with many other games, got a level editor to make stuff with.
It seems to be something that's sadly been lost in gaming.
Charged buster arm does a shitload of damage
super armor from the charge, and I've heard it does more damage than normal buster
bro just jump and urizen is mostly harmless
More damage.
They just remastered Onimusha 1. Suzuki is still at capcom to make music. Following trends it's safe to say that that's not off the menu
I know I'm contributing to the chaos of replies you've received, but did you beat more enemies than Vergil in the epilogue? I did and I got it.
We wuz half demon n shit
Don't respond to it and filter it's name.
I meant the vocalizations. Like during Dante's puzzle where you had to fill the blood basin Dante didn't shut up about how I, the player, should follow the grooves in the floor.
Come to think about it, the mini cutscene when the portions of the basin filled up also were unnecessarily protracted, and all four of them were the same. Really breaks the flow.
Well, it isn't very high then, definitely less than 10.
I got it after replaying mission 20 on DH. By that time I've replayed several levels, but less than 30 completed levels in total.
Worthy of note, this was the second time I'd beaten m20, and I failed to win the credits fights the first time, but that time I won both, and then Nero's healing taunt and V's Ex color were unlocked.
I had issues getting it too, i think you don't get it if you respawn at last checkpoint (everytime i lost i got back to the main menu and restarted the mission just to be safe). Got the achievement after clearing 19 & 20 in one try in a row
didn't it flop tho? then again the bad reviews are just zoomers crying about controls
WE'RE FALLING TOGETHER
IN THIS
EVOLVING PLAN THAT'S USELESS AND SEAMLESS
WE SEE THE SAME LIGHT
AND YET DIFFERS IN MIND
MAD QUALIAAAAAAAAAAA
form 1 vergil is really easy tho, you use that phase to build dt for his rage mode

Dante and Vergil already surpassed their father, so it would probably end up being a lot less hype if they're abiding lore standards. Sparda can no longer be revealed as stronger than either one.
I can barely remember anything made in a level editor of any game be any remotely good.
People who have the capacity to make good levels also have the drive to make them by themselves and mod them in, without the need for a level editor
Good taste
DMC3s story is overrated
Why didn't Dante use styles in DMC1 and DMC2?
ME WANTS LADY GF
I see people rating rawhide pretty high when people are ranking devil breakers. What makes it good?
Well that might be the awakened form for the Sheathe then. Because he still wield the actual sword itself the whole fight even with the laser arm blades.
It just reminds me of Dante's Laser blades from DMC2's Majin.
don't do this, it creates mustard gas!
It covers a good area around you so you're less open to being blindsided.
How long is the tutorial stuff in the beginning?
I’m installing it right now and I have the shortest attention span for tutorial shit
Damn nigger
>there might be a chance of FPS camera mod for DMC5
>plan to use it with VR
I'll puke my guts out, but I wont regret it
clears groups like dang
I end up ignoring Gunslinger almost entirely when I play Dante, am I doing it wrong? I just find so much more use cycling through SWORDTRICK and RG when I can figure out the attack patterns.
faust was designed for screenshot memes. Itsuno is a fucking genius
the cutscenes were what I was talking about. On the topic of Dante musing, did you forget the non vocal text that showed all over every single puzzle up to and including optional weapon locations in 3?
Remember the forest with a literal panel telling you the answer to the puzzle in 4? Still I get what you mean. But because I've become so mind washed by it I just can't care anymore.
They haven't released sales numbers. But even if it did flop. Capcom literally has infinite money now and every single one of their major IPs pretends cash on the name alone again. MM11 got made and powered up, maverick hunter, both legends, star force, and the initial anniversaries all sold like shit.
2013 Capcom might be completely eradicated so long as they keep printing money
Good to know, makes me a little sad since that's probably 80% of how I spent my time.
They better not fuck it up. It better be the best goddamn bloody palace.
DMC3's story is underrated. People still remember the game as "wacky woohoo pizza man adventure"
Any way to know which maps I missed blue orbs on or not?
Do we know how reliable the friend preference is for matchmaking? Like, if a friend and I have it both set to preferring friends and we try to co-op on a stage picking separate characters, will we always match together?
Since awareness of your surrounds is important how would that even work?
Like 3 sections of mandatory, easy as shit fighting and a fake boss fight that you can technically win but are expected to lose.
because styles were created in dmc3.
You can disable it altogether and never find a single secret mission like the person in the previous thread
VorpX maps camera movement based on HMD movement so its possible
EXTREMELY good setting, basically. The tower blows the setting of every other DMC out of the water with how downright ominious and strange it is. Bizarre statues, architecture that's both consistent and somehow nonsensical, the weird discordant music, cuts to the activities of Vergil and Arkham forshadowing places you'd have to go later, etc.
The tower FEELS like a deeply evil place that's been sealed up for thousands of years, and there's a sense of wrongness, that you shouldn't be there, and that honestly makes it incredible.
Jester and lady's shit is gay and secondary as fuck. It's all about Dante climbing the tower to fight vergil. But the Dante and vergil story beats are fucking SSS
DMC 4 concept looked cooler
It's a DMC game. The whole game is a tutorial until you beat it once.
No it isn't.
Too sad to style.
It's amazing crowd control. Multiple combos is fun, and it adds (extremely minor) damage to wire snatch.
i think i only found 4 of those
>mfw I haven't found a single secret mission aside from the obvious one they show you in mission 2
SALE NUMBERS WHEN
No. Despite what some memers are saying, Gunslinger is still shit.
can dante unequip the sword and pistols on NG+? being able to pick loadouts again was low key one of the things I was most hype for but being locked into having those two kinda takes the bang out of it
all I want is the hat and the missile launchers
Any Empusa Queen r34 yet?
i guess that's his DT, if he still has Yamato in his arm. Maybe it'll be DLC or something.
>Jester and lady's shit is gay
>missing the point this hard
HAAAAAAAAAAAANDS
I trying to learn some easy basics moves for the three characters to try Hell and Hell mode.
Dante: Double rocket luncher and Stinger.
Nero: Stinger (Don't know which arm is OP yet)
V: Is fucking OP, just spam attacks, DT and move.
Any one got any advice allready?
>Jester and lady's shit is gay and secondary as fuck.
Imagine having taste this shitty.
Lady and Arkham's story is a completely complementary to Dante's interior development "awakening" to protect humans and owing up Sparda's legacy
It became the second most sold PC game for capcom, right next to MHW so its in good hands
pcgamer.com
DD2 already funded
Are people just delusional about DMC games difficulty or am I just weird? I played through them all for the first time this year. I'm not very good and I'm still new to the series obviously, but I think DMC4 is significantly easier than 5. I think the only boss that gave trouble in 4 was Dante. The game is honestly flat out easy on the normal difficulty, like Nintendo game easy. I learned like nothing of the mechanics, didn't know how to play Dante at all, didn't learn anything with Nero either, generally just sucked, and I pretty much never had to try a boss more than twice. Also, the normal enemy sets are harder in this game than they are in DMC3 IMO (though obviously I played the rerelease so the original was much harder).
What should I spend my 30k orbs on? Double jump is a must. Should I wait to use them for Dante?
What about him?
Shit. I can't do buster knuckle on multiple hit combos. It just goes straight to bringer.
>They start throwing HD remake RE engine ports of popular bosses from DMC 1-4 into Bloody Palace like they did Monster Hunter World
Fuck my dick would be diamonds
Adding to that, the new way to find secret mission may feel nice at first, but I soon started to miss how it was in previous games, by just spotting oddities in the environment, like different colored lights or weird hard to reach places. In the city level, I legit thought that a bright tv screen in an out of reach room was an entrance to a secret mission
Dante just use all the styles and limit yourself to two weapons.
Nero use punchline or gerbera, all other arms suck
V just gorilla mash buttons
>Jester and lady's shit is gay and secondary as fuck.
>Not getting the whole point of the story
They are really well hidden this time. I only found 1 outside of mission 2
He was indeed a virgin. I mean, he was only 2 days old.
This is why I'm thinking Bloody Palace isn't just gonna be what we think. There's more to it considering the 1 month delay
It could be the Mercenaries Mode of DMC with multiple characters to play with
>Jester and lady's shit is gay and secondary as fuck.
It mirrored and complemented Dante/Vergil's story nicely, and Dante had a stellar fucking dynamic with Lady
>Actually HD Nelo Angelo fights
>Actually HD Vergil 1/2/3
>Despair Embodied
Still feel 4's graphics hold up incredibly well. Credo would be great to fight again though
Im missing 5 blue orb fragments, do i just buy them from the store
>all other arms suck
Say that to my tomboy and not online and see what happens.
I found 10 on my own, I thought they are far less hidden than in 3 or 4.
v looks like such a fag.
At the very least I expect that it exceeded expectations. I had to call multiple stores to get a copy today, and I've seen a handful of similiar cases too. this shit never happens to me.
Became inspired by Dante and Nero's demon hunting
Went on to continue training
Was sent to Mars
All of a sudden a demon outbreak happens.
You buy whole blue orbs at the store
Remember when Lady NWF'd Dante so hard that gave him PTSD? And NOW she wants to settle down with him? Yeah right.
I mostly use it to trick up then switch to gunslinger do rainstorm and maybe a gun stinger from time to time on the ground, I haven't tried with the other guns that much but i use rainstorm a lot on flying enemies
ive been having tons of fun with nero and dante even though i suck with the latter, but i feel like im missing something with V, he feels really janky to me, especially during bossfights like geryon or nidhogg where theyre either jumping all over or there are multiple threats to keep an eye on, uts peobably just me being a shitter though
how does this work?
i remember in interviews that they suggested mashing the button to get more damage, but the feedback i get when i use it suggests that i have to hold it.
is it move dependent or what?
also, what is this wheelie thing that is mentioned on some of the listed skills?
He didn’t feel like it
>tfw no remix of Super Ultra Violet
easy an streamlined
Normie shit.
He also talks like a fag and his shits all retarded. I'm glad he is who we find him out to be, because it's consistent
women were a mistake
These games were never all that hard on normal mode (Except in the original release of DMC3 though that was due to a translation error and NA's version of normal was actually Japanese hard). The actual meme's come from the difficulties higher than Normal/Devil Hunter. In SoS and DMD you are forced to learn all the mechinic's of every boss in the game and even the minor enemies.
I only found 8, 10 and 11 by myself.
someone needs to make a DMC5 version of this since everyone solves their issues by stabbing themselves in 5
Anyone has the music that plays in the menu? Not the devil trigger slow mix, the other one.
this is why Dante is pizza sexual now, she rejected him like 3 times in that game.
That's okay desu. DH gives a good warm up (and some time to get used to the new moves, systems and so on) for SoS. Last time I even booted up HD collection was like half a year ago, and I could handle 3's hard mode with some ease after going through normal.
If you hold it until it
Actually no. Just take a look at the move list in the skill list user. It'll explain it all better than I can.
Devil Hunter is the tutorial, play the real game now
Yeah, that's what I've always heard. I just feel like people earlier in this thread are acting like DMC5 being easy on normal mode is a new thing.
What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me none of shadow's hits landing, griffin being annoying and waiting out your DT for Nightmare to show up and kill everything isn't fun? V is far and away the worst playable character in ALL of dmc
5 being easier than 3 and 4 is absolutely a meme. King Cerberus and Vergil alone are harder on even DH than anything in 4 even on son of sparda.
I like punchline, tomboy and gerbera. They just nero some nice movement options since punchline has it doing hits regardless of your position, tomboy has you bouncing around alot, and gerbera cause trickster. I think you can drop tomboy tho but i really like it personally. I actually have trouble with finding good times to charge up my arm breaks since holding the circle button fucks with you trying to melee and jump with triangle and X
I love him
Can you play on Son of Sparda from the beginning?
Dude can I change Nero’s hair?
Looks like I’m playing with Cody rhodes
Should I git gud?
I wish there was a way to auto buy/equip preset DB loadouts.
Rebuying and equipping everything before every mission is a pain.
>you need to S rank HaH for one of the golden trophies
Guess I'll never platinum this one
I can attest to this. I made 4 my bitch on SoS but died for 1 hour trying to kill Vergil without continuing. I'm terrible at these games.
Reminder that you can counter an empusa queen by striking right before it brings both pincers down on you, opening it up immediately to a buster.
>had to use a gold orb on Goliath, Devil Hunter
I feel like a shitter.
Balrog and cerberus, going full kung fu
King Cerberus and Vergil's fights are so fucking fun.
maybe someone'll mod in his DMC4 hair.
How did Vergil make Nero again? Because even he was as confused at this as us.
yes.
DMC1 castle wasn't any worse, in the sense that it's a place that feels haunted by an unseen, but constantly present malevolent force, and the enemy designs capitalize on that as well. It also changes to an even more ominous version when night comes.
It's smaller and less cohesive than Temen-ni-gru tho.
Vergil is the only hard thing on DH. I only died once on Mission 10 to Urizen, and then Vergil took me down a solid dozen times.
no
>Not Buster
Fuck, it's like you hate suplexing Demons punishing stunned bosses
No. In all DMC games all difficulties above normal must be unlocked.
I think I found about 5, and one more as V that I couldn't figure out how to access, that's before I knew you could break walls with nightmare.
With good ol fasioned fuckin'. He talks about how it was so long ago since he gave whoever he gave the dicking to, the dicking.
Anyone?
Can't you unlock the ability to switch out DSD for Rebellion?
You can when you beat the game, yeah.
Wait is Helter Skelter considered high tier? I personally never really used it, Buster is my baby
Once you beat the game
i havent tested yet, how does buster and BUSTER compare with each other?
Does jump no longer have it’s invincibility frames on startup?
I feel like the lack of turbo maybe fucking with me
Gave the dick after seeing this fine ass bitch with child bearing hips.
Probably got drunk (from one glass) and shagged some random thot. Which would explain why he barely even remembered it.
Also, Mundus created Gilver based on his data of Vergil. So, Gilver being shit at drinking must've came from somewhere!
Buster arm does more damage by a sizable amount.
>he doesn't know
Its super fun to test out what's possible, holding circle in SM style with sword makes the projectiles spin around you and launch them at vergil,its super easy to stagger him with them or to destroy those pesky summoned swords around you and him.
I didn't use DT in his SDT form at all, its super fun to dodge it and just do various taunts for the hell of it, i just dodged mostly and attacked when there's a short break between a set of 3 attacks that he does.
Mallet Island is great too, but I kind of almost... don't count it because 1 was a reworked RE game so of course it had a spooky setting.
3 was built from the ground up for cuhrayzee, so it's setting being legitimately ominous and scary is a bigger accomplishment to me.
Should've been like DMC3 international having hard mode be easy.
The only boss I struggled with on DH was Vergil as Dante
The Devil Bringers buster you get at the end of the game and the Buster Arm do the same damage, its just the Buster Arm has invincibility
I'm pretty convinced that they rejiggered the story last minute. Urizen is a punch/kick boss, covered in eyes, and had similar color scheme to Balrog (which is also covered in eyes). Pretty sure Urizen used to be Balrog.
Maybe the writers could not find a convincing way to revive Vergil and now Vergil is Urizen lmao.
how long is this game?
I might pirate it
I played a bit of DMC4 but never got around to finishing it
Helter Skelter is shit. I always just overcharge it immediately.
Game's piss easy and I have no intention of doing a second playthrough. Hacked myself SoS, and while I definitely like it more, the 400% HP is a fucking meme. It's so tediously grindy.
Really dunno what people see in this series.
FUCK URIZEN 2 I HATE THIS FUCKING FIGHT, WHY MAKE A PROJECTILE BASED BOSS FIGHT IN A GAME OBVIOUSLY NOT DESIGNED FOR DODGING PROJECTILES
Wait the devil bringer is in this game? How is different than the mechanical buster
Is the best way to fight the teleporting demons to counter them when they come out of a telepot? Had trouble with the first one, and while I haven't seen one since I imagine they'll show up a lot more on higher difficulties and I could see them being as annoying as a blitz if they're mixed with other enemy types.
>Pretty sure Urizen used to be Balrog.
Read the prologue summary. There's a reason Balrog talks to you
Well, unless you charge the buster arm
Punchline > Gerbera > Tomboy > Ragtime > Overture > Helter Skelter > Rawhide > Buster Arm
Longer than most Japanese Action games at about 14 hours. Though thats cause you are expected to play through it multiple times through
>massive paywall
>1 maybe 2 missions
>like they did Monster Hunter World
That comparison isn't valid, MH games always keep most of the older monsters in newer games.
it literally becomes obsolete when you get devil bringer.
you can devil bringer with any arm equipped (binds to RT, but i put it on B/O button)
the only advantage of buster is super armor when you overcharge it.
>M17
I'm talking design wise they're too similar. Also we never had Dante starting with Devil Arm from a demon beaten offscreen.
3 did a lot of things right, it has the best setting (1 & 5 are really good, though), great OST and technical, challenging gameplay that rewards skill and it's also easily replayable.
If I remember correctly, DMC4 was somewhat rushed, and desu it feels incomplete when I think about it. Dante's whole thing is just backtracking Nero's route. The gameplay is more refined than 3's, but it doesn't feel as good in my own opinion, 5 fixes out every cranny of DMC4's combat.
Keep playing the game and you'll find out how useless the Buster Arm really is.
>itt: people forget series difficulty standards that have been fairly consistent besides DMC3 being ruthlessly hard and DMC2 being retarded
10-18 hours depending on how good you are
But we all know the true DMC doesn't start until you get to the higher difficulties.
What was the most kino unscripted thing that happened in your playthroughs?
>nero vs vergil mu first time
>both of us are almost dead
>he summons 6 swords
>I max act payline to bridge the gap
>all 6 swords get reflected in slowmo and impale him, and my final strike with full exceed finishes him off
I made the so,yboi face
I just used the Balrog jump move to remove swords from me and a good old fashioned shotgun to the face to remove them from Vergil.
>Anyway to unlock SoS from the start?
Beat Urizen in the prologue.
Dumb frogposter
Why is everyone swearing so much?
They even got Dante swearing
I just SDT to invul transform through that whole attack. You get so much DT from RG his early phase so you might as well stock up on SDT, and he is really open after the attack ends.
I really hope V appears in future games somehow. His playstyle is unique and they can easily expand upon it by giving him more summons.
Bros please tell me theres a MAD QUALIA download out there
> I really think SoS should have been the normal mode instead of what we got.
thats how I felt playing dmc4se. I did lady and Trish in DH and Nero/Dante in SOS and everything feels so balanced, it makes me wonder how easy DH and just human would've been with Nero and Dante. DMD is kicking my ass though
cmon man, youre better than that. goliath is harmless, all you have to do is equip gerbera, stay in the air and dodge everytime he winds up youll have plenty of time since his telegraphs are painfully obvious
>It's so tediously grindy
Someone isn't learning the mechinic's.
The environment changing in the urizen 3 boss was pretty kino but I guess its scripted
What damage does a DT'd Buster Breakage do?
While it would be costly I could see it do more than just a DT Bringer buster.
Yeah I found it very weird too.
Also too many missions that are just boss fight desu.
They might have cut a few corners again.
>got him to last 6th of health on a normal runthrough with no orbs
>nearly dying
>try and DT stinger but get caught by blade rush
>never get his close again without items on that mode
Sparda and DSD for me, faust and E&I.
Been playing too much of 3 that I can't get used to 4 different ones
I feel that it's missing a type that I can't really pinpoint out, Bike and king C is interesting but I feel that 5 would be a gold standard, if you ignore how DSD messes with swords
At least they don't Kamiya the game and make you buy dodge and guard
Yes. It will be called DD2.
Get that shit out of DMC. Being forced to play as V after Dante or even Nero is easily the worst. Especially on higher difficulties.
They could either have a new character with similar playstyle, like one of Nero's kids, or just have V without any plot context. But I doubt he's ever coming back in the story.
>I just SDT to invul transform through that whole attack
You know you can knock him out of his SDT form with yours when you press square when he charges you out of the air right? Also RG is fun but for me its the oh shit button when i'm being overwhelmed, once had about 5 RG bars filled and i fucking died before i could dump it on him, felt bad.
That's fucking great, i once unintentionally countered his helm breaker or whatever with a balrog jump, it was amazing
>have to change system language to change language in game
>no dualshock button prompts
Glad I Pirated it. And I was so close to pre ordering it day one.
V is genuinely fun tho
wtf did they do to lady
God I can't wait for a mod to replace Dante's base form with his Sin DT.
Such a good design.
>Furst Boss fight with V
>Still don’t understand what the fuck is going on
>Just jump around taunting while button mashing
>Ended up doing the musical taunt
>All of the boss attacks whiff and got he got his ass raped by the pets all the while V being autistic as fuck
It’s a special kin of kino
That's not how I remember
Character? Yes.
To play as? NO!
I feel you may be right. Probably the best we can hope for is that he gets the DMC4SE treatment and is made playable without cutscenes.
thats probably what was going on, SDT was smacking him out of the attack phase. Its hard to tell with the cinematic camera during the transform
>Vergil DLC
>you can switch between summoning demons like V or using Yamato
Shes almost 40
Playing V gives me flashbacks to every negative edge and puppet character I ever tried to play and I hate it
>On the subway part with Nero
>The enemy spawner that spawns lizards enemies
>Didn't kill it early so there is like 5 of them
>Use the Overture Break Age
>Arm switches to to Buster Arm
>After like 10 seconds grab the lizard with the bomb
>throw it at the other 4
>SSS Explosion that kills them all since they were low on health
I had the biggest grin in the world
This, once i realized you can walk while you read the book and rape everything with Griffin's banter i fell in love
She never should've come back. She's amazing in 3 because she's the heart of the story. She has no reason to be in 4 or 5, so she's literally just hanging around. Therefore, they turned her into a slut to compensate for her lack of anything to actually do.
Not him, but I honestly have more fun with V than Nero.
As much as I want birb back, isn't that impossible because they were his nightmares?
should i play 1-4 first?
so how do i effectively deal with enemies on sos
Yes. Skip 2.
They made her cute!
Hit them until they die.
Cant have good looking girls in video games now. At least there's no nigro demon hunter.
I just want him to actually two-hand Yamato in gameplay.
To each their own. I personally don't. Games like DMC and Bayonetta are games in which I want to go fast and as crazy as possible. Not mash and multi-task as if I'm playing DD.
git gud
Combo, stay in the air 80% of the time, Enemy step is required
Does Breaker damage get buffed by DT?
Does this include buster arm
oh, i should probably buy that
>i sure hope you demons don't do this
He shouldn't have Beowulf or Force Edge in 4, but they gave it to him anyway.
she took the bogpill
I've never gotten SSS with Nero, am I retarded?
Did anyone get any of the 3mil taunts? I got the once per mission taunt but im curious to see what that one does
it's a bird made out of swords
So why can't you surf enemeis? At least the small ones like hells.
Explain yourself Itsuno.
i also never got a SSS mission ranking. Only S
>nigro demon hunter.
Morrison is gonna take care of it. Don't ya worry. He has both Trish and Lady enslaved to him, thanks to Dante.
why is that? also it looks like they can be beaten in 6-8 hours which is nice to get caught up on
I couldn't do it until I got Devil Bringer, but then again, I rarely used the Devil Breakers.
shes kinda attractive, but does not compare to dmc3. fuckin face scan.
they're great games so give it a shot but if you REALLY gotta play dmc5 there's a recap video in the main menu of dmc5.
Skateboarding is no longer cool
>mfw realizing that Nero has a triple jump
Use overture
Can't beat DMC3's DSL
Malphas is the worst boss in the series. Beats out helicopter from 2 by a mile. Fuck this trashy fight. Boring as fuck until berserk chicken mode, then fucking impossible to not get hit, over and over and over again. I actively hate this fight.
get comfortable with exceed timing, even if you only nail it once every few attacks, you get a lot more style points
midair taunts are your friend
rawhide is also your friend
it gets a lot easier when you unlock his DT
helicopter from 2 was kino.
Every other enemy is covered in eyes
Git gud
The game needed more musical instruments as weapons,should've dialed up the crazy to 11
V getting Ride of the Valkyries while Shadow and Griffon are wrecking shit behind him
>then fucking impossible to not get hit, over and over and over again.
>V throws you literally 4 ragtimes
How do you just not end the fight from half health?
Highest rank in missions is S
Do I have to buy orb range upgrade for every single character?
Also did they go through with retconning Vergil into being an older brother instead of twin? They keep referring to him as that and I know they don't look the same anymore.
Name 48
you're right, I should give them a shot. They're pretty short right?
Because 2 is shit and has nothing to do with the overarching plot. Also, it's more like 8-12 hours per game.
DMC 3 >= DMC 5 >>>>>>>>>> DMC 4
The only good thing about DMC 4 design are the tits
Tried but always miss one or another in combat, now I just take everything and fail mid-combo, but changing their order really helps, DS Dante-Balrog-Cerberus-Cavaliere works way better.
>Also did they go through with retconning Vergil into being an older brother instead of twin? They keep referring to him as that and I know they don't look the same anymore.
Twins don't pop out at the same time, user. The difference can be from several minutes to several hours.
>Malpha's
>In anyway hard
Get fucking good. V throws you multiple ragtimes even on DMD. It's the easiest boss in the game.
they are still twins but vergil is the older twin
oh, well nevermind then
Thanks. I'll try it out since its in the HD collection
If you don't get casual filtered and quit playing every time you hit a wall instead of actually trying to improve, yeah.
5 on DM is super easy when fighting anything that isn't a boss.
I'm pretty sure it just means he was first to get out of that moisty cave
Need some tips guys, I can't for the life of me beat Artemis on DMD during her DT phase, fuck this constant flying bitch and her laser turrets thing
Nope, only throws punch lines.
Don't you get an S+ or something if you beat it with no damage? Or was it exclusive to the demo?
In what way? I don't get what makes enemy step so good.
>practice combos in training
>can't do any in a real fight
I hope if DD2 gets made and has summoners we get some birdbro like Griffin
:(
Well shit, it looked like they were making a big deal out of it. It doesn't make any fucking difference though. Cheers.
Nope, only punch lines.
Without having played it in this game yet, I just don't get why it's not available right off the bat. They give you easy and normal mode to start, with the normal mode being "FOR VETERANS OF THE SERIES", but I can almost guarantee that actual veterans of the series won't die one time in DH. Well, I'm about to start M17 (After I fucking S rank M10 because it's the only one I haven't S ranked and the enemies die too fast, so I have to just Royal Guard everything for points), so maybe the last set of bosses are really hard.
I also hate trophies where you have to beat the modes individually instead of getting the trophies for the mode you beat plus all the easier modes.
I don't think so, i got M19 & 20 with no damage but i only got S rank
play defensively, don't be afraid to abuse charge shot
allows you to pretty much stay in the air infinitely, keeping you safe from 90% of the things that want to molest you
Wait, I beat the demo and didn't see that.
>crashed on the credits
fuck me
The demo never had anything above S.
compared to your average AAA game yeah. But the games are good because the gameplay is just so fun you want to keep replaying on harder difficulties and unlock even more moves to try out. completing the story shouldn't take long but mastering the mechanics of dmc3 is really enjoyable and take weeks. Up to you whether you want to just blast through them for the story and see how dmc progressed as a game, or spend time mastering the combat. I personally dropped dmc2 after like mission 3 or 4. I dont give a shit about playing through it to appreciate other games more, I'll just play the games I think are fun.
>EX Vergil
Show me his alternate costume NOW
I also had trouble with mapha. Im not sure what triggers her tumble during her rage mode but punchline really helps in doing it.
camera settings seem fucky. tryna get it right.
Does Nero get to use his Devil Breakers in the prologue after you beat the game? I saw someone do that trying to get the secret ending. I'm thinking of trying after Vergil stops kicking my ass (which is admittedly tired in the early morning and rusty)
I'm just really glad Itsunos game came out well and its doing great. The man really deserves this
>DH is apparently baby mode
>still struggled a bit on both first bosses
w-will I be okay?
That shitty DRM free makes your framerates drop. I did did shit, but put the DRM one back again without configuring the dmc5config.ini file, and I still get naked Lady and Trish.
Malphas is a great boss. I'm pissed she's at the end of the most annoying mission in the game. Fuck Mission 15.
>used Royal Guard starting at the Cerberus fight
>Royal Release into Vergil when he's on like a quarter health
>mfw he has two bars left and hits the fucking SDT and I Guard almost every attack he throws my way, except one full combo and one summoned sword
RG is fucking broken, it's too easy. You can hold B/circle to Guard entire combos
yes
your best bet is gerbera
>nero didn't get a music based breaker
No.
I unironically like DMC5 Vergil's outfit the best out of the rest. Really fits him well
Also, his Judgement cuts are god-tier holy shit
Yes, just load up with punchlines, and spam break age when Urizen is vulnerable.
Yes, it would be really hard beating Urizen without them.
Overture
Yes. It's still extremely tough to beat Urizen in the prologue, though. I couldn't manage it. After you break his shield for the first time, his attacks great crazy and do DMD level damage.
You better move faster than light to play it.
use overture shock attack (the one that launches enemies into the air) and as much air juggling as possible, these type of attacks seems to jump the combo meter a lot.
It gets easier for the most part with some more moves and DT
You'll also git gud in that time, most people complaining of the difficulty played the previous games DMD or H&H modes.
Wow, that's literally almost exactly how I fought him.
I was thinking of blasting out tomboy myself. Urizen's not that hard to dodge, and I have to get rid of Yamato as fast as I can.
I got really close just with Max Act.
When the chicken goes purple, I literally can't avoid it. And one hit sticks you right under it so I just get run for all my health. I have lost 12 times straight. I just don't get what I'm missing. I can tableflip the rush sometimes, but then it hops and I'm fucked, and the pecking rush is 100% undodgable for me. Outside berserk mode, the fight is braindead.
>RG is fucking broken, it's too easy
the timing window is the same is DMC 3, you've just gotten better
this said, anyone find optimum settings? Might turn off the "smart" camera
>DMC3: Cutting orbs
>DMC4: Disembodied slashes
>DMC5: Both
Just turn off Lens Flare in PC Settings. You don't have to mess with any files like this guy says.
Don't bother. He's not that hard. Once you realize that just running, without lock on, dodges pretty much every single attack aside from laser, which you need to jump over, you can destroy him. Just stay on the ground and and sidestep once during a combo to dodge the Artemis lasers.
The only scary part is after he puts the shield back up once and he gets really spam happy with the quicksilver fields into fireballs.
I've dropped Faust and the gauntlets. Faust makes me waste orbs, it's too radical of a change to adjust to. The gauntlets seem useless after everything else comes in, and I feel like they're for building those SSS ranks because they do fuck all damage and can do some decent AoE stuff, but they're not really all that practical imo
Also how fucking poor is the timing to throw in that MJ homage when that documentary released last week lmao
What's wrong with mission 15? I also had a bad time of it but I chalked it up to autism coming from the cameo system, I couldn't place my finger on why it felt so wrong.
>breaks through the ground
Anime out of 10
it's fine after all for first bosses you don't have many moves and not a lot of health (if you played the demo and struggled to goliath you should be worried tho)
See:
>I got really close just with Max Act.
Congrats user
I got really pissed and just switched to Human to get the alt. ending.
Poorly timed blocks drain DT instead of health and I don't think they damage your style rank.
Also can you still cheese side roll into perfect guard like in 4? It seems less responsive because of the different evade animation
shoot down those 2 purple things that zip around you, once you grab onto them they take you directly to her
Just lens flare doesn't work, there's some other setting that it needs to get disabled too
the guns don't extend shit unless you charge them and even then the extension is pitiful unless you go in gunslinger, the only thing they do is keep an enemy in the air longer but you have tons of tools to reach it anyway
He didn’t have Sparda with him, SDT was achieved by absorbing both Rebellion and Sparda.
And Vergil got his by eating the fruit I suppose
Oh shit
Personally, I thought I had to be in DH to use devil breakers, so I went for DH. That didn't work, so I ended up shrugging and doing it with DH anyway.
I heard its 25 mission and beating both credits fights
I liked that there are two sets of diverging paths. The spike path is actually the much easier path since between caliber, air taunt, and air hike you can just skip every single one of the spikes if you need to.
I actually like that they set up some environmental things that use Nero's devil breakers in non-combat ways. They drop the ragtimes for the spike traps and gerbera for the big chasms. I actually really like that stage.
DH is the "normal" difficulty, what makes it easier compared to earlier games is the abundance of green orbs (the green breakable stones are new and heal a lot) and gold orbs.
Always get the movement related skills first (speed/enemy hop/stinger etc) once you get these its a lot easier to avoid damage
This.
The demon hood look suits Nero more than the long hair, in my opinion.
did you get your table hopper or gerbera? When she goes purple, try to keep your distance and pepper her with charged gun shots and punchline if you arent confident meleeing her. She can toople during this time. Theres probably some way of exploiting her purple phase with breaker arm or something but i dont know it. She has Yian Garuga levels of bullshit hitboxes, if you have experience with fighting that, you have an understanding of how this lady works to a degree
>the green breakable stones are new and heal a lot)
I've been wondering now, do enemies drop green orbs
soul reaver knock off
Since V is just Vergil's human side did he really even leave? Isn't he just what Vergil would be without the demon autism?
Overall I love the game, but...
>Environments are generally kind of repetitive, I was hoping for more like the city in Mission 1 and 2 or some gothic architecture like we see in the rest of the series but no, its mostly just dull ruins, warehouses, and the Qliphoth tree.
>Key items are boring now, I don't like the overuse of parasites.
>Teleporting enemies, especially the lizards, are a bit too crazy. Even if you parry them it feels like its seconds before they are right back at it.
>V is kinda unsatisfying to play. He's powerful and easy to get good style rankings on but his gameplan feels very straightforward and there isn't much room for improvisation. Just sort of spam and play as safely with V himself as you can.
