So I just got back from picking up the PS3 CE at my local Best Buy. They had several copies of each for both systems, as well as many copies of the regular version. Oddly enough my first stop was Target, which was completely sold out of the 360 version, which wasn't odd, but for whatever reason they just weren't stocking the PS3 version at all. Literally no sign of it, not even an empty slot or anything. Anyone run into that?

More than likely. And honestly, if you own a PS2, go play 1 and 3 first(2 isn't good, and the story is irrelevant and boring). Don't just get caught up in the hype of 4, because 1 and 3 are both fantastic games, and they're cheap.
So I got the game today. First of, the European CE is a joke, that said the case is absolutely lovely. Slick black front and silver black back. No ugly 360 logo's to be found on the entire thing. Probably one of my favorite gamecases ever.
I'm playing the game on Devil Hunter mode but man I must have gone rusty or something because it really isn't the cakewalk some of you made it out to be. In fact it feels very much like normal on DMC3, which is a good thing but I have to admit that I died a couple of times. When the enemies get a hit on you (for instance during a taunt) they take off a great piece of your health. Heck I accidentally walked into a fireball twice with full health which resulted in my early demise.
The cutscenes are ridiculous.. ridiculously awsome. Seriously Dante's entrance cutscene was amazing.
Nero starts off very very barebones, especially when you're used to playing the demo, it also doesn't help that the upgrades cost a shit ton proud souls. :lol
I've only played 6 missions so far but it's definitely been outstanding thusfar. I'm still not entirely used to Nero and to be honest I want more weapons for me. The second boss was fucking awsome, even more so than Berial and the enemies in this game are fantastic. Especially the knights put up a great fight. The atmosphere and feel of the game are definitely more DMC1 which is great too. Overall I"m definitely happy with it.
ps: I love how this game has most of it's achievements set to secret. It keeps me focussed on the game instead of those silly achievements.

Devil Hunter is far too easy for a default DMC, but I don't mind. I see the first run through as 'farming'.
And *gasp* I actually LIKE Nero as a story character and a game character. The REV is so much fun!

Okie, just tried a bit Automatic mode with Dante and in this case it seems like it might be a bit overpowered.
As with Nero, different combos will be done automatically as you perform the melee attack and the ranged weapon will be automatically charged. But when using the Pandora the game will almost instantly change to
, and I really doubt a human player would be able to do the same equally fast. On the other hand, Dante's melee attacks feels completely unpredictable while in Automatic so I don't think it can used as an exploit to get free S ranks or something.

Amazing game so far. So much fun.
I need tips on how to complete Secret Mission 2. Also,
I was Lol'ing all the time :lol.

every now and then the devil bringer shines in a different way than when I charge shot. What is this supposed to do?

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Guys...wtf at Order of Sword HQ map. How do I cross the large gap inside the castle? Grappling on the hooks doesn't give me enough momentum. I also tried speed sprinting towards them :\
Just finished (devil hunter difficulty).
-Nero shouldn't exist. While the bringer helps keep combat fluid and allows for some neat mini cutscenes during boss fights, Nero's a huge step back from DMC3 Dante overall. Painful lack of variety to his combat mechanics. He's also emo.
-Too much backtracking and boss fight repetition.
-Frustrating platforming and "puzzles" that detract from the combat. The dice rolling, the laser traps, the spinning blades, the gyro bouncing, give it all a rest. The game seems to be channeling God of War more than DMC1 at times.
-Dante is so much fucking better than Nero. Dante's missions are bliss. Real-time style switching is sex and all of his weapons are fun and useful. WHY ARE THERE 15 NERO MISSIONS?
-The cutscenes...dotdotdot. The attempt at a love story belongs in a nine year-old's fanfiction notebook. All the cutscene content outside of the action scenes is beyond terrible. Combat choreography is pretty ace, tho.
-Shitty end bosses. Missions 18 and 19 are atrocities, and mission 20's stuff is 9 x 10^99999999999999999999999 light years away from how good Vergil 3 was. That goes for most of DMC4's bosses compared to DMC3's, too.
-Too many flying enemies, fighting 'em gets tedious.
-WHY IS DANTE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER?
If Dante had not been playable for those 5 missions, I'd probably be feeling a weak C- area score. With Dante in there it's somewhere in the B range I s'pose. For the love of giant stone saviors, make Dante the main character of DMC5 and bring the focus back to (creative, free-flowing) combat.

I'm on mission 5 and
and the Devil bringer acts weird when you get close to a secret mission spot. Is this the ability you gain after defeating the Ice boss?
EviLore said:
Story-wise agreed, but gameplay-wise he's pretty unique and it's actually nice to have two very different playing characters.
If you count the Dante levels as their own unique levels (since the areas are changed up) then there's almost no backtracking. Boss fight repetitions are ok since the bosses are good and it's fun to re-fight them after you've learned their patterns.
People say this, but hardly saw any platforming in the game. Only on my 2nd run did I fall during that spike room and go "argh, now I have to do it again!" and the dice isn't bad when you learn how to get exactly what number you want. The laser parts are pretty easy.
Dante is fun, but I think when playing as him you really miss what Nero has to offer.
Yeah. Outside the action they're pretty awful.
Nah, all of the bosses outside the break a window mini-game boss were awesome IMO. Most are on par with DMC3 and some above DMC3. I'll give you that Vergil fight 3 was better than DMC4's final boss, but DMC4's finally boss is a good boss as well.
Completely agree. I hate the cloak guys. They just take too long to fight and are boring. All the other enemies are fun to fight against though.
Eh, wait for DMC5
Play SoS now; enjoy the game.
Hopefully DMC5's opening cinematic shows Dante ripping off Nero's arm and grafting it to his own groin. Might need to bundle a special controller to be able to use sword switching, gun switching, style switching, and devil phallus at the same time, though.
Not done by me, I downloaded a save just to check the gallery and grab the shots, no intention to play in anything higher than SoS yet.

Credo did the same god damn thing Agni and Rudra did to me when I faced them. Only a sliver of health left and they managed to bring my health down and kill me. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

As he slowly walks toward you fully charge your ex lamps. When he gets close enough, hit him with your devil bringer and jump over him when he tries to ram you. You'll be behind him so you can hit him with whatever combo you desire. I recommend the shuffle(I think that's the name) R1 + back and /\, then you can do a complete combo without him blocking.
Eventually he'll go nuts and be all over your face. From there I haven't gotten a decent strategy yet... just survive hitting him every now and then.

I found 4 secret missions (I'm in lvl 5? I think I just beat it) but I could only beat the one where you knock those bladetops into rocks. I have no idea how to gain style without attacking, and I couldn't even kill all those enemies in the time limit for the first secret mission :lol
I played Assassin's Creed for two hours today... I did not like it at all... it felt like I was trying to move a slow character and my pushes seemed different to what was happening... I know that is a bad explanation, but the game felt sluggish...
I love Ninja Gaiden type games...
So, I returned NBA2K8, Pirates of the Carribbean: At Worlds End and Assassin's Creed... and picked up Devil May Cry 4 for an extra $4.99 with those trade-ins.
I played Level 1 an 2... AWESOMELY, BEAUTIFUL GAME... it looks better than the demo to me... or it is in my mind...
But the warping to the first test mission or extra mission... was great! The screen water-pooled and it looked sweet!
The first fire boss was really cool... warping to his head and kicking ass... NICE!
I saved it and have not started Level 3... very happy with the game so far... I have never played a DMC game... so Nero is cool for me...

Yes, use Aegis Shield and you should clear it. Only need to get to C style I think.

There is no need to backtrack after you get the Devil Trigger.
Keep pushing foward, you simply just overlooked a door. :lol
