Currently marathoning all the DMC games before playing 5 and Good God this one is fucking boring like how I remember it...

Fair warning, you're wrong.

BS, Nero is actually fun and has an insane amount of tech in 5. 4 Nero is complete shit. 5 Nero gives Dante a run for his money in terms of fun factor - exceed, devil breakers, devil bringer, new red queen moves like payline, buster knuckle

Punchline and Gerbera GP01 ALONE blow up Nero's kits to new levels

go to bed, barry

do yourself a favor and just judge it yourself instead of listening to shitposters.

He's better in 5. It helps that Kyrie isn't a big part of the story.

>anything I don't like is reddit

My Marathon results:

DMC1: Almost god-tier if it wasn't for the annoying camera. Also, the Resident Evil atmosphere is amazing I wish it stuck in the series.

DMC2: Dante: Boring and Boss fights suck ass.

Lucia: Pending

DMC3: Amazing in everything except for the annoying statues enemies late game.

DMC4: Still in Level 5, but it's pure shit and boring so far.

No one was talking about gameplay.

Now this is shilling.

>5 he justs swears constantly
You haven't played the game, have you?

for real though I fucking hate Reuben Langdon

DMC4 is really good, getting used to Nero's playstyle can take a while.

He's a lot more fun to play with in 5, Gerbera is great.

Dante in 3 was pretty immature as well, why does he get a free pass and Nero doesn't? In 4 Nero was way more prone to emotional fits, in 5 he gets belittled by Dante and pretty much ignored by his father, and this give him all the rights to get upset.

He swears in the majority of the cutscenes. I don't know why you're pretending he doesn't.

Yeah well I fucking hate you buddy.

I'll take him over that boring guy from 1.

I can't get enough of buster arm, even when it's the same as his shit in 4. Something about the extra damage makes me feel giddy in ways the original couldn't

Buster is great when you have options, in 4 you either kill enemies quick or quicker

Dante doesn't ever act anywhere near as immature as Nero does in 5, most of the time in 3 he's serious even if he's showing off and making jokes. Nero is always making immature expressions, swearing, making really bad jokes, getting irrationally angry, and if I'm not mistaken he's older than DMC3 Dante was to boot. He also talks like he's 13 in the game, it's ridiculous. 4 Nero was much more of a mature character.

I get a feeling you didn't play it back in 2008.

Only the purest of contrarians or shitposters pretends to only like 1. Not that it makes much difference either way.
If the ending to the first game doesn't seem as reddit to you as anything wacky that happens in 3, I'm just gonna wave you off as stupid.
It's not even funny the lenghts you guys go to justify your pet opinion, and surprise surprise, half the time they're not even gameplay-related. Usually something about the spooky castle or Dante's voice actor. They never defend how busted the grenade launcher is or how half of your kit is not useful at all because varying up your combos is not encouraged.

Attached: Twilek.jpg (193x262, 9K)

Not him but a lot of people hated it back then.

>getting irrationally angry
Example? Plus wasn't that how he acted in 4? Always easily angered?

Don't forget to play DmC Definitive also
It will make DMC5 even better

Words are just words, its how they are used that matters.

There is a world of difference between Nero's swearing and Donte's.

How sheltered are you that someone swearing triggers you kids so hard?

>Nero is shit in 4
He still is in 5. Well, at least he is fun to play.

They mostly don't swear in anime
That's literally it

>a lot of people hated it back then
Not really.
Indeed, many people hated Nero but the overall impression of DMC4 was overwhelmingly positive. And even the ones who disliked it didn't do it because it was "boring".
The recent spike of DMC4 hate is in fact pretty recent - it started happening since about 3 years ago when a bunch of e-celebs made videos about DMC4's cut content.
Since then the retards started riding the "le unfinished" meme way too far blaming the game in every possible sin including the ones it didn't commit.

Getting mad when Dante tells him he's dead weight and to let him handle it.
1. Dante can handle it.
2. He was dead weight, he was missing an arm
Sperging like he did was irrational, it was also immensely immature of him later to retort with "YOU'RE DEAD WEIGHT". As if he was 8 years old.

Swearing to this extent is purely a product of lacking decent writers, it's not classy nor intelligent to cuss. It's also against the old morale code of DMC, and completely in line with the awful reboot of DmC that (you) pretended to hate until 5 came out. I haven't played DmC but I highly doubt 5 Nero swears any less. The words used might be different but 5 Nero was cussing constantly as if he were 13.

I'm an old fan who didn't want the west to fuck over the series, but they successfully did which really sucks. Cursing to express yourself is like using emotes to express yourself, it's brainlet tier. Simply the worst kind of writing.

>Almost god-tier
Jesus christ look at the shit taste on this guy.

>Worst Bosses in aside from 2
>Least moveset variety
>Recycles bosses EXTREMELY aggressively

I don't think it's about "fuck you" or swearing and shit but Nero as a character is boring as hell.

the game is as fun as you are good at it.

>thinking that some of the games are good is shilling

I was on Yea Forums and you're so incredibly wrong it's not even funny. I actually liked it since I wasn't hyped to begin with but Yea Forums loathed everything about it for a couple of years until they really got into the combat.

Hate turned to dislike turned to like, and now that 5 is out people are just trashing all previous games to make 5 seem better than it is. It isn't just 4 that people are pretending was shit tier, you'll see people say 1 and 3 were dog shit too and that 5 is the best game ever made. It's fucking terrible, DMC threads used to be so comfy.

They really did a 180 with Nero in 5. In 4 he was extremely boring both in character design and playstyle. He's a lot better in 5.

>Dante can handle it.
It didn't seem like it to Nero
>He was dead weight, he was missing an arm
Sure, but that just was there to show how Nero is more similar to his father Vergil with caring so much about being useful and strong, his personality seems more fleshed out and clearly it's own thing, his is that a bad thing?

>Nero as a character is boring as hell
Aww, cheer up crew cut. You'll make it some day.

>discrediting opinions isn't shilling

>Fatherless punk kid with one hand acts immature.

Wow I don't believe it.

I played the first game on release, Dante likely would have said fuck off instead of flock off if censors allowed it at the time. Intelligent people swear all the time. You were raised poorly or live somewhere very conservative.
He's fine, he's just an angry punk.
I just don't get how all these nancy boys shrink at the first sign of a naughty no no word.

No one is trashing anything to make 5 appear more superior, they're just pointing out flaws that were always there

>I was on Yea Forums
That's irrelevant.
Depending on how you view Yea Forums you can make an argument Yea Forums absolutely loathes DMC5.
The DMC4 hate isn't local to Yea Forums as you might think. I've been actively following the game since the reveal trailer and I've seen how the people's opinion on it had changed through the years.

>implying I discredited anyone

Does Japanese even have an analagous expression to fuck you?

>but that just was there to show how Nero is more similar to his father Vergil with caring so much about being useful and strong
Given how he looks this just came off as spergy to me(in the literal sperglord sense) so I'm not seeing it.
>his personality seems more fleshed out and clearly it's own thing, his is that a bad thing?
If you read the rest of my posts you'll see how bad his "personality" is. I really should take more screenshots of his dialogue, it's terrible.

I miss when DMC didn't have this "muh realism" crutch to lean on. His character in 4 made a hell of a lot more sense and he was cooler. But that doesn't matter now that he's older and acts younger! Makes perfect sense because he was an orphan, poor Nero.

Go to one of the main threads right now and you'll see it.

>he's just an angry punk.
I mean that is exactly why he is boring.

>But that doesn't matter now that he's older and acts younger!
Well, that's because Itsuno fused DMC4's Nero with DmC's Donte into Nero in DMCV.

>they're just pointing out flaws that were always there
Not him, but I'm constantly defending DMC4 because people are actually spilling bullshit rather than pointing out the flaws.
I never argued against things like full backtracking during Dante's part, reused bosses, etc. However, people bring up completely retarded statements like the enemy design being bad when it's actually the best in the series before DMC5 because they are too retarded to learn the enemies. People see Dante's backtrack and they blame it on the level design when it has nothing to do with the level design and it's objectively superior to every previous game in the series. Hell, even with Dante's backtrack, DMC4 still has LESS backtracking than DMC1 and DMC3.
The game has plenty of issues, but people are outright lying at this point instead of pointing something actually bad.

>Dante likely would have said fuck off instead of flock off if censors allowed it at the time
Nice head canon there, I wonder what Kamiya has to say about that. And I swear all the time, but that doesn't mean it doesn't drag story telling down. I'm not trying to write a good story and neither is Capcom if they resort to such terrible dialogue.
>Fuck you! You fucking asshole!
You are defending this. That's where we are at now. Guys like you are saying that climax to the character is better written than DMC3's. Brainlets.

Yea Forums is defending the game hard despite its faults. Yea Forums wasn't contrarian when it came to favored series back then though, we all agreed 4 was a disaster at the time. The few who liked it were just that, few.

Yeah they definitely did.

>we
fuck off

>Given how he looks this just came off as spergy to me
As in his looks? Or the way he acted?
>If you read the rest of my posts you'll see how bad his "personality" is
>immatur expressions
Don't matter to me, and how does an immature expression even look like? Also he is supposed to be less mature than Dante to show contrast (I know, le Dante wacky scenes in 5) my point still stands, in serious situations Dante is the calm collected one while Nero is the hot headed one
>swearing
He filipped the bird to Dante, and called Agnus a jackass, nothing really changed other tha it stand out more
>making really bad jokes
Well I guess you're right at this

>I wonder what Kamiya has to say about that
I mean, he made Bayonetta swear, and there is alot of swearing in Bayonneta in general, so there is that

>As in his looks? Or the way he acted?
Both?
> and how does an immature expression even look like?
Like Nero does in DMC5 at almost all times. Those beyond cocky smirks and the brainless look in his eyes.
> Also he is supposed to be less mature than Dante to show contrast
Where did you get that idea? In 4 he was often doing the opposite, he was serious when Dante was not.
>He filipped the bird to Dante, and called Agnus a jackass, nothing really changed other tha it stand out more
He swears over ten times more in 5 and it's not subtle like it was in 4, not at all.

From looking at the way they act? Nero was serious in 4 because the matters in hand were personal to him more than Dante, while it's the opposite for Nero in 5
>He swears over ten times more in 5 and it's not subtle like it was in 4, not at all.
Well that's what I said, it stand out even more, though I agree that they should've made it more subtle, still it doesn't really bother me

No, Dante just looks like Dante smiling there. You could argue that he's making dumbass jock expressions but I think that would be pretty ignorant having played ... any DMC game.
>From looking at the way they act? Nero was serious in 4 because the matters in hand were personal to him more than Dante, while it's the opposite for Nero in 5
Maturity isn't a temporary act you put on. It's a measure of your development as a person. 4 Nero was much more mature than 5 Nero. So, where did you get that idea that this was for "contrast", what does that even add to the story?

I think it should bother you that the writing went down the drain, DMC writing used to be pretty alright but now instead of making a good comeback the hero will just say "Fuck you!".

Well, it's an expression of smugness, it supposed to piss Vergil off, I think
>Maturity isn't a temporary act you put on
I'm pretty sure, if someone you care about is in danger, you will act differently
>where did you get that idea that this was for "contrast", what does that even add to the story?
Because it makes characters stand out more, and make them more memorable? It's pretty basic writing if you asked me
>I think it should bother you that the writing went down the drain
Dante is still the same, so all is well with me
>DMC writing used to be pretty alright but now instead of making a good comeback the hero will just say "Fuck you!".
You're just exaggerating it, at least I hope so, it's not like they will continue screaming "fuck you" in every next entry

Ol' reliable

Nero's immature punk attitude in 5 is what made him entertaining you plebs.

Attached: very shit.png (1200x900, 1.01M)

I played it around then and stopped playing when I realised that I would be backtracking through the entire game because it was unfinished. Most criminally lazy AAA game I've ever seen.

Yup 4 is a fucking slog. I never finished it years ago after I beat the first boss in the backtracking section. I ended up just watching the cutscenes in prep for 5. I don't regret it.

Nero in 4 is just some loner kid who in barely 1 day had his world turned upside down, you may not like him but it makes sense storywise.
Won't spoil but in 5 he's pretty entertaining.

try out the summon swords famalam
they do some cute stuff like double revolver with cerberus and spinning disks around you while you're doing break dance shit with balrog

As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is autism to the autistic.

Love the revisionist history on display. Everyone rightly shat on 4 for being unfinished and stop trying to pretend otherwise. Astounding that people are being this dishonest.

It's just a smile on a rather shitty PS2 model, you can better see oldl Dante's expressions in 4 with fairly normal smiles. 5 Nero is obnoxious with them as you can see.
>Because it makes characters stand out more, and make them more memorable? It's pretty basic writing if you asked me
I don't think you know what you're talking about, there is no concept of contrast in 5 it doesn't even have many one to one conversations between characters. If Nero was fairly mature in DMC4 it doesn't make sense to suddenly lose ten years of growth and start acting the way he does in 5. This isn't good writing, it's the opposite.
>Dante is still the same, so all is well with me
>You're just exaggerating it, at least I hope so, it's not like they will continue screaming "fuck you" in every next entry
You really don't pay attention to stories much, do you?

> it's not like they will continue screaming "fuck you" in every next entry
They'll just be calling everyone an asshole, telling them they're about to kick their ass, saying "shit" and "fuck" whenever something happens, and witty insults will go down the drain. Like DMC5.

I keep forgetting about that move.

>Love the revisionist history on display.
how ironic

I've seen that stuff but I think it is the moveset of DSD itself I dont really like.

I actively use prop shredder to cancel out of combos and having helm breaker on one button works wonders because when I lock on for it with DSD it fucks up a lot and I drop my combo.

Kill yourself fag.

Not an argument

>5 Nero is obnoxious with them as you can see.
Isn't that the scene where he sees Dante fighting Urizen? That doesnt seem like a smug smile either
>is no concept of contrast in 5
Well what else am I pointing out, Nero is supposed to be the young one, Dante is supposed to be a mentor like figure for Nero, that is pretty clear to me at least
>doesn't make sense to suddenly lose ten years of growth and start acting the way he does in 5. This isn't good writing, it's the opposite.
It depends on the time gap between 4 and 5, cause I'm sure it isn't 10 years
>You really don't pay attention to stories much, do you?
Honestly I haven't gotten around to playing 5 yet but all signs seem to show that Dante is still his old self so I'm fine, why?
>They'll just be calling everyone an asshole, telling them they're about to kick their ass, saying "shit" and "fuck" whenever something happens, and witty insults will go down the drain. Like DMC5.
You're just way too worried man, it was just Nero and Nici who kept on saying those things, Nero doesn't allow swearing around Kyrie though, ironic I know

>If Nero was fairly mature in DMC4
not him, but he wasn't at all. he acted like an angsty kid. in 5 he's more vulgar, sure, but he's a lot more easy going, for the most part.

As a long time DMC fan, I can confirm that Nero at least has some charm in DMC 4. Definitely not the case in 5. He's more attractive, better dressed, and more likable in 4.

The level design in 4 makes shit really, really painful and both Nero and Dante feel like they're unfinished characters when it comes to gameplay/mechanics. There's some solid moments, and Credo is easily one of the best bosses in the series, but the non-stop level gimmicks can make it a tad rough. Just power through it at least once though.

His outfit sucks in 4. The alternate outfit they added from his concept art is way better.

Are you really going to be that guy pretending Nero isn't an immature punk in 5?

>Well what else am I pointing out, Nero is supposed to be the young one, Dante is supposed to be a mentor like figure for Nero, that is pretty clear to me at least
Again, in 4 it was quite the opposite. Disregarded completely in 5 where he acts like he's 14.
>It depends on the time gap between 4 and 5, cause I'm sure it isn't 10 years
Figuratively 10 years, I keep saying he's acting like a child when he wasn't one in neither 4 or 5.
>Honestly I haven't gotten around to playing 5 yet
What the fuck why are you talking about it then jesus christ. What a waste of time.

Anyway Dante isn't his same old self and because I've actually played the game I have opinions on it that affirmed that the DMC I liked(storywise) is completely dead. I'm not worried, I was worried months ago. I know it's dead now.

Angsty kid is still more mature than "Fuck you dad!".

Fully agree, brother.

His outfit is way cooler in 4 at least from the back. Nero in 5 pops his hood like an extreme faggot.

the kid who wears headphones to blast music in a church just to be tsundere to his crush? it's not. there's also a lot more buildup to the relationship between nero and vergil than there is for how he acts with kyrie, and just the situation in general in 4.

We were talking about how compared to Dante he was serious in 4. user(who hasn't even played 5) was saying there existed a contrast between 5 Dante and Nero where Dante was serious and Nero wasn't. Putting aside that doesn't make sense, it also didn't exist in 4. That's what we were talking about.

It really sucks that 5 bosses had no or lacking banter.

He's still more mature than the guy in 5.

fuck you, the terminator 2 sinking middle finger was great

>Are you really going to be that guy pretending Nero isn't an immature punk in 5?
Dante calls Nero a punk in 4, so I don't know what you're trying to say, Nero is character was always about him being a punk, him being mature is irrelevant
>Again, in 4 it was quite the opposite. Disregarded completely in 5 where he acts like he's 14.
And again in 5, the matters aren't as personal as they were in 4, Kyrie is safe, he lives with her with orphans in a cozy life he seems more chill, ofcourse he will change a bit, life has gotten better ever since that mess that happened in 4

You don't know what maturity is.

>And again in 5, the matters aren't as personal as they were in 4,
You haven't even played it. Man there's no point in this conversation. Nice cutscene though, I wish 5 had something like that.

Yes I do and there's a stark difference in maturity between the games.

I enjoyed it, though. Goliath and Cerberus both had full swag intros.
Artemis intro was tongue-in-cheek fun.
Vergil's intros were outstanding.
Nero to Dante transition during the second Urizen fight was amusing.
Malphas transition was interesting.

What context?

We're talking about the story though, not the gameplay, and I have seen most if not all of it, my thoughts still have grounds, just because I haven't played it yet doesnt mean I have no knowledge of what I'm saying
And what's the point of showing Nero covered in blood taunting next to still faced Nero from 4?

>DmC has wubstep, unecessary swearing and rank ups based on damage
>Yea Forums shits on it
>5 does exactly the same things
>It's suddenly ok

You just like everything.

The facial expression. And no you clearly don't know what you're talking about, not going to keep replying to you seriously.

so you're not even reading the posts you're replying to?
there is a large buildup between nero dante and vergil over the course of 2 games (more than that if you consider dante and vergil's rivalry and how it would cause nero to interfere). in 4 kyrie is just inserted at the beginning and the rest is just him chasing after his boyhood crush. I don't hate either one, but you're delusional if you think 4 nero is more mature.

>rank ups based on damage
5 has this? I guess that would explain why some weapons just give you free style bars.

all rank ups are based on damage, but in DmC you can spam the same move over and over and still keep getting ranking up. in DMC games they get severely diminishing returns by using the same moves.
user is skewing facts to shitpost.

I like good things. DMC5 is filled with good things.
Hating everything is retarded.

Have you even seen the faces Nero makes when he taunts in 4? There as wacky as they are in 5
And how am I not in knowledge of what I'm saying, all what I said held truth in it, I didn't make anything up

it doesnt, using the same attack repeatedly does nothing for the rank up

>Good God this one is fucking boring like how I remember it back in 2008.
I don't think it's that bad. Devil Bringer distinguishes Nero from Dante a great deal and even though the game repeats its content there's a fair bit of aesthetic variation in what's there. That said, DMC5 does more or less all the same shit DMC4 did but better for the most part. I can see myself revisiting DMC1 and DMC3 in the near future, but I can't say the same for DMC4.

That said I've only just finished DMC5 on DH and barely started SOS, so maybe there's something I'll come to revile about DMC5's higher difficulties. There was certainly a big difficulty spike on DH's bosses from King Cerberus on.

>wubstep
there's only a few songs like that, and you can change the battle themes

>unnecessary swearing
more like casual swearing, only done by Nero in a few cutscenes and some specific moves. He's also this weird anime-edge type of character so it fits

>rank up on dmg
that's V because his gameplay is weird and inconsistent to make proper combos
Dante and Nero have to put work in for the SSS, if you attempt to pull a DmC by just spamming the damage move you'll be stuck quite early

I don't know how it works but it's a lot easier than it should be and spamming similar attacks over and over certainly does increase the bar a lot(sometimes). Like punching as Dante or using any of Nero's new skills. V as well, I just mash buttons and get SSS you don't even need to use the unlockable moves.

>there's only a few songs like that
>more like casual swearing, only done by Nero in a few cutscenes
Don't lie.
>and you can change the battle themes
Not really, they don't play all of the time.

Official ranking coming through:

5 > 3 > 1 > 4 > DmC > 2

5 cuts all the fat from the series, kicks up the GOOD SHIT to 11, and has the best overall selection of weapons, abilities, and bosses in the series. Normal enemy design isn't as good as 4, but it comes pretty close. In fact the only enemies that really suck in 5 are the non-aggressive empusa types, and the only enemies from 4 that are clearly above their 5 counter-parts are the angelos. Proto angelo is a bit more fun to fight on DMD though.

Also I prefer fighting Blitz to Fury.

>I don't know how it works but it's a lot easier than it should be and spamming similar attacks over and over certainly does increase the bar
No it doesn't. This is just untrue.

Marathoned all the (mainline games) up to 5, as well.

DMC1: Aged like fucking milk. Normal is a bore when you realize you can just spam the lightning ability and melt everything. Hard mode is where it starts to become fun, but it was a snooze otherwise.

DMC2, Dante: Actually had a lot of interesting combos, but the control scheme for them and how they interacted was ass. Guns were too fucking powerful, and the AI was retarded. too much open area, showing that bigger isn't better. The boss and story were at least funny.

Lucia: Loved her playstyle, except the fucking water levels. She deserved better.

Trish: the only good part of the game. Felt like an actual DMC game again. Shame that, again, size of maps does not mean good.

Funny thing is this was the quickest game to go through, enough that I had the hard run done and Trish in under 12 hours.

DMC3: I don't need to talk about this one. Is good. Spent most time on this, beating up to DMD and Vergil's story before moving on.

DMC4: Rushed, rushed, rushed rushed, and, oh yeah, rushed. I could forgive that if the third act wasn't such a piece of shit. Actually liked how Nero played, but the story he was in was garbo.

DMC5: Nero was expanded upon, made more fun, but the story, itself, and his character development is still pretty bad. Dante is fucking awesome to play as, with the best fist weapon in any of the games, and V is an interesting take. HATE the load times, and the lock-on is finicky as piss. Other than that, HELL YEAH.

>spamming similar attacks over and over certainly does increase the bar a lot(sometimes)
it's a complete fact that spamming moves has a large reduction in style meter.
>V as well, I just mash buttons and get SSS
V is easy mode because you can have 3 minions out at once all attacking at once and each will count as a different attack if you just cycle through it enough. same mechanics as other characters, but you can have everything to work with all at once, which makes it much easier.
in DmC you can literally just devil dodge once and do a hammer hit for SSS ranking. one dodge and one hit.

3 > 1 > 4 > 5 > 2
Only a soulless NPC would disagree.

I literally gave you examples and you cropped part of the sentence away. Read, nigger.

>Only a buzzword buzzword would disagree.
Ah dun' ghettit

Dante's balrog punches count as one continuous move (to a point, once you hit IGNITE max, Style decays rapidly)

And no, you can't spam Nero's new moves either. They're treated just the same as any other kind of move.

If anything it isn't damage based. Punch Line riding moves rack up the most style and they barely do any damage

But I often use the missile attack to go from S to SSS, and the charge attack lunge can be used over and over too. Same with busters.

I was just wondering how it worked, I think I triggered one of you since user said it's like DmC. I didn't play DmC but I do know it's way too easy to get SSS in this game.

Nero being an idiot hothead has been his character from the word go. He's DMC3 Dante with anger issues and a fouler mouth.

He's also probably the most grounded main character in 5 funnily enough.

>But I often use the missile attack to go from S to SSS, and the charge attack lunge can be used over and over too. Same with busters.

You can't literally spam the same punchline move over over and bump style. Note punchline has multiple aerial moves so you might be confusing things and actually using multiple of them. Also while a punchline move might take you from S to SSS (as another user pointed out they barely do damage btw), you still can't spam it to maintain SSS. Of course, you could provide video proof of the contrary using the Void or something.

cool go find me more than 1 wubstep song and 1 example of someone swearing that's not Nero
now that i remember crewcut calls Nero a one armed son of a bitch or something at the start

>they dont play all the time
not THAT is an actual problem with the game
giving you the option to switch only the battle themes but ***story*** music is stuck in there

>Same with busters.
I know for a fact that buster spam doesn't increase style.

5 > 1 = 3 > 4 > 2
I've only finished 5 on DH so far though, which was rather easy until the ramp up in difficulty toward the end. I imagine SOS will reveal how I really feel about the game.

SoS has some pretty crazy encounters (like 3x Fury). I'm on DMD now and it's even more crazy. DMD is actually really fun though. I only half-dread it, whereas I full-dreaded it in DMC1.

No, the closest I can think of is to angry say "Kisama!" or "Temee!", both of which are literally just rude/disrespectful ways of saying "you". They don't really have the same weight or bluntness as "fuck you" and are far more contextual, so they don't really fulfill the same niche.

>cool go find me more than 1 wubstep song and 1 example of someone swearing that's not Nero
Play the game fag.

>not THAT is an actual problem with the game
now*? even against normal enemies they don't always play, really annoying since the music is shit.

5 > 4 = 3 > 1 = DmC > 2

>3x Fury
Oh god please no
Where is that? Do you have to fight a fury at any point as V?

cringe

IIRC it was in Mission 12 for Dante. I don't recall fighting any with V, desu it'd be kind of unfair for him since his summons are kind of delayed in their attacks. Nero does fight them as well though.

DMD might change all that though and make it so V does have to fight them. Either way, once Bloody Palace is here, you can count on a stage dedicated to at least a couple of Furies.

denial

DMC1 is the one game where I like DMD the most, though. The health buffs aren't quite so tedious. Then again, DMC1 is a pretty satisfying game for me even on normal.

You're just a combo obsessed spastic who is most likely shit at games. 5 is a bad game.

>5 is a bad game.
How do you figure?

better than you

Nero is everything that's good about Dante and Vergil rolled into one person.
