Just tried doing it while playing the first level, after a failed attempt at the main menu. Still nothing. I'll have to fool around with it more later tonight.

Everything is great besides that, though. Thanks for the controller configuration. Works perfectly.

Try mashing alt enter at the main menu of the game, that worked for me

You've essentially played the intro. Your criticisms hold true to an extent, but I'd dig a little deeper into it before jumping to conclusions.

Yeah, I know, I am [unfortunately] easy to jump to conclusions; but I will definitely play on longer; DMC is one of the few series I have played through.
 
I could never understand how one guy on youtube fires shotgun on a blitz (just when it is about to blow up) and gets instant SSS rank...
 
Everyone should buy it. At that price, there's really no reason not to at least experience the (full) combat system.

As an added bonus, you get to see Dante making sexual innuendo while testing a new weapon. That alone is worth a purchase.

You get a huge Style rank boost if you kill a Blitz before he self destructs. Maybe I'm not understanding the question.
 
I've been saying dmc4 was awesome all this time im glad its finally getting the fucking respect that it deserves. who honestly cares if you backtrack as if the surroundings actually have any impact on the gameplay. they're like backgrounds in fighting games they're for show.

fighting engine, art design, difficulty curve all masterful.
 
I kind of wanted to slap the shit out of Capcom for even putting out that abysmal DMC3 PC port. You take one of the greatest if not -the- greatest action game ever made, and you basically fuck it up the ass by releasing a borked version on PC-digital, which is really the only outlet that the game can get further leverage with in regards to new fans (other than the HD collection).

Capcom is so fucking stupid sometimes. It's like their hiring randoms off the street with nothing more than 'gaming-cred' and no college education and no basic understanding of how to protect/promote intellectual property.

So I'll repeat - DO NOT BUY THE PC PORT OF DMC3 UNLESS YOU ARE OKAY WITH MODDING IT AND FUCKING AROUND WITH IT TO GET IT TO WORK. GAME IS AWESOME, but the port is shit.

I also emailed Capcom/Steam to remove DMC3 from the steam store (I know it won't do anything, but whatever), it's absolute consumer mistrust to release A BROKEN product to market. Was this shit even certified?

I don't want people soiling their experience with DMC3 by playing a broken part, so sorry if I and others sound like a broken record.

They could have fixed it up a bit and made it a preorder bonus for DMC.

The fixes would apply for current owners as well.
 
Holy shit.

I played DMC4 on consoles back when it came out and just bought it on steam on impulse thanks to this thread and holy SHIT. It is like a whole new game, I am getting like 300 fps and the gameplay is so smooth and amazing. <3

Way worse crap has been released for games. DMC3 on PC is playable still.
 
This made thread made buy the, I had tried PS3 demo back at the release but didn't like it. Played half an hour and the game is awesome! I have the settings on the highest and still get 230fps, and with 4x Sparse Grid Aliasing the framerate drops to around 130. And that intro is just so over the top!

I had to delete Win 7 update KB2670838 to get DX10 to work.

This video is not the same I was looking for but the concept is the same, just before the blitz explodes the guy throws lucifer's rose and the style goes from S to SSS...

I don't think that's a glitch. Like I said, your Style meter gets a giant boost if you manage to kill the Blitz before he fully enters his second phase.

The thing is, the guy in the video basically drained all of Blitz's health before he went into his kamikaze phase (two Distorted Real Impacts will do that), but Blitz still has to enter that second phase. At that point, anything would have killed him, and the player chose the rose for the finishing blow.
 
Dmc4 is gorgeous on pc.

For those new, max acting is the crutch backbone to neros combat. Think squalls gunblade from FF8 im sure dahbomb has a faq somewhere.
 
To all prospective DMC4 buyers! I have an extra key for DMC4

Would like to trade it for:

Fez
The Witcher 2
Dust: An Elysian Tale
Dark Souls

Drop a PM!

I would totally love a max-act timing guide...
Click to expand...
There's no written guide that can explain you the timing. It has to be a video guide, preferably recorded and uploaded in 60FPS which freeze frames the exact frame you need to press the button on. Chaser has some videos on Max Act but only shows the Max Act timing on a few moves.

So, does anybody have a video capture card and spare time...?
 
Had a chance to start it up and take some screenshots at max settings. So pretty:

Depends on your TV I guess but ive never had a problem getting Max-act by revving when neros arm is a the the 2 o Clock postion, It usually register at 3 and swings through to 7.

The position of the hand varies from move to move though. Not only that but EX moves have their own Max Act window as well.

I don't know of anyone who has even claimed to have mastered Max Act. I know people can do it on command for certain moves but during a combo while enemy stepping and doing Shuffles into instant air Calibur? Nah son you are not hitting every Max Act during all of that, way too execution heavy.
 
Am I the only one who likes DMC and DmC?

u mad?
 
That wasn't directed at ToS. I was talking in general.

And why would I be mad? LOL...

I like DmC too but I love DMC (minus DMC2 of course).

Whoa Whoa Whoa there tiger....

I was only talking about Rebellion Combo A. I wouldn't even know where to begin to combine Max Act, Jump cancel, Shuffles, Calibur and the goddamn Kitchen sink.
 
I played around for about 30 minutes last night trying to get DMC3 to work, but I just couldn't get the sticks to switch to normal. Such a shame that such a great game has some many problems on PC.

So true. I love that Max Act makes Nero have such a high skill ceiling, but man is it high. I stopped somewhere on DMD when the game first came out, and I'm blasting through the default harder difficulty, but trying to time even regular Act while charging blue rose and switching up combos/dodging is tough.

Having a lot of fun getting back into it, though.

Try to do it at the end of stinger and helm breaker (I don't remember the terms for nero), that's when you 're on the most offensive and the timing is also the most easiest (at the very end of animation)...

I also remember one guy MAX-revving the first slash of aerial rave at the end of every bloody palace floor. That gave him an instant Max-Act at the very start of next floor. He said it was very easy to instant rev it as well...

Thanks, I'll try those. Mostly I just end up at an encounter charging the pistol, comboing and dodging. When all the enemies are dead I realize I completely forgot to try any Acts.

Streak and Split. I only know because I had to upgrade them (decided against getting a save file).
 
Well to be fair Instant-rev, although it is difficult to execute, is not that much visually stylish as let's just say distorted real impact... You could easily look more stylish by just creatively comboing and dodging...
 
Revving is tempo based. Going on visual is not going to fly. Nero's move-set is not huge. Just practice and you'll get revs on almost every move.

Really combo based shit though it not the same deal. The revs I do here on the last combo are mediocre but I'm trying.

You can see I only hit the revs well on timings I find "comfortable." I'd need serious hours in the lab to hit more, especially times when I'm distracted doing grabs and shit.
