The fight where you first meet Agnus right?
Yeah, push foward. There is a blue pillar where you grabbed Yamato. there should be a door in that very same room, don't backtrack from the lab until you find that door.

Nero would have been the shit if they just superimposed Dante's insta-style and weapon changing mechanic onto him.
this is why, 2 game character mechanics never work.
Heavenly Sword = beyond dumb
Ninja gaiden sigma = rachel was just essentially ryu with a different weapon, but not as cool
I think DMC4 does it the best, offering two characters with differences yet similarities, but at the same time each has their purpose, and each will have their favorite fan base. But imagine the awesomeness of -EITHER- Dante or Nero if they just slapped the devil arm mechanic to Dante, or slapped all the weapons/styles/and tricks of Dante onto Nero.
Nope. I know what to do now. It wants you to back track back through the picture you broke...you are then meant to go through one of the doors directly on the left or right...DO NOT jump down and go through any of those doors. I mean how are we supposed to know to do that? Shitty poo.C- Warrior said:

LOL. How did you overlook that one? They had an entire cutscene just to show you that :lol

No, stick with one character.
It eats up development time to render, animate the new character both in gameplay and cutscenes, and in script and voice acting.
If you have interesting ideas for a new character, just super-impose them on Dante.
Things work out for DMC4 since Nero plays a lot simpler, therefore not scaring the shit out of people who haven't played a DMC game or haven't touched one since DMC1, and then you switch to Dante when you know .... it's game time

I got my UK 360 special edition in the post this morning. Thank god it's in one of those decent tins (BioShock, Lost Planet) and not a horrible Halo 3/Gears one. It's also great to see that the option to configure the controls was in there (I was avoiding reviews so I'm not sure how well known this was before release), so I went straight in and changed the lock-on button to the right trigger. That was my only real complaint about the 360 version when I played both demos and the fact that it was fixed makes me feel better about cheaping out.
It's a fantastic game. Considering how great certain things have looked as early in the game as I am, the first boss especially, I can't wait to see what this game starts throwing around by the end.

So, what kind of things are we hoping for as DLC? What I'm hoping for, as DLC or DMC4SE:
-the three elemental DMC3 weapons
-playable bosses from the previous games including Phantom and Vergil, most likely as additions to the Bloody Palace
-costumes, duh
-it might throw off the game balance, but I'd enjoy it if they added DTE back into the game, perhaps as something weapon-specific or style-specific because I really want to be able to use Yamato to do Million Orb

Those who haven't played DMC or haven't played DMC since the first one tend to love it, very much so.
Those who live and breathe DMC3, are still contemplating if DMC4 > DMC3.
I think we're going to have to give DMC4 a fair shake on the harder difficulty settings.
That's one thing DMC3 did poorly (DMD mode in DMC3 was not done well), while DMC4 seems to handle it pretty well.
Ultimately, this game is designed by far best to be approachable by 'normal gamers.' Everything is well paced, explained, tons of difficulty options, automatic feature choosable, checkpoints, tutorial is very in-depth etc.
The switch from Nero to Dante is a weird one. I'm a DMC vet so the transition just seemed like coming home, but for the average player without DMC experience? How would you know what any of these styles do, why you should upgrade, etc. Long ass tutorial for Nero, but none for Dante. And why did they remove the 3 consecutive dashes in Trickster! Argh!!!
Overall the game is good but I agree with the scores. This game is an 8. It excels in combat, but iffy level design (I also got lost backtrackin many times like people in this thread) and crappy elements added for pacing
bring the experience down a notch. I'm not lookin forward to every cut scene either like I was in DMC3.
Love the bosses though, but I havent finished the game yet (mission 16). And since I am sure the fuckin
Someone mentioned you can

rolling dice thing will come up again, can anyone just tell me how to guarantee your roll?

I am rather bad as you can see in my total rankings, I got S in both Human and DH for first Dante fight (after a couple of tries for each), ha ha ! But not yet in the others.
Don't get hit to keep the style up, look for the red orbs and save time by not running around.
Well, I personally like some variation. They did a great job modelling Lady, yet you only see her in one short cutscene (what's even more odd is that they spent time modelling and texturing that cannon, yet you only see it in the gallery). I think it would have been great if she was a playable character, even if she wasn't as complex as Dante or Nero.C- Warrior said:No, stick with one character.

Also, your logic about Dante/Nero is flawed
Dante is playable in only a third of the game. Nero is clearly the main character of the game. I think the addition of exceed and devil bringer makes him complex enough compared to Dante.Yes, I'm pretty sure they will become weakened even more. I got stuck at the final boss because I couldn't figure out how to evade an attack. And I died A LOT. When I finally figured out what to do, I literally killed in the boss in one hit. I'm fairly certain he's not supposed to die that easily.Zzoram said:
That's the same DLC I'm hoping formaskrider said:
Especially costumes. I can remember the awesome teddy bear costume you could get in Onimusha 3, and it turned all the cutscenes into pure awesomeness. DMC4 *needs* alternate costumes!

I need to go back and get some missing blue orbs and secret missions. I am currently on Mission 10, but Iam farming and trying to get S ranks for my previous missions.
Mission 3 and 5 seem to be the ones I need to work on
My best rank is mission 9 Devil Hunter, I made # 25 in the world leaderboard (360).

Don't Sony or MS make their own commercials for some of these third party games? Like Sony and Ubi did for Assassins Creed?

(Probably been asked, searching didn't help) but I have the 360 version and every time I start up the game it asks me which storage device I want to use (only have the HD) and if I want to see the Live info. Marvel: UA did the same thing (ask for the storage device every time) but it doesn't seem normal. Is it supposed to do this?
Also I'm at about mission 6 or 7 and as someone who says DMC ranks high on fav. franchises, I've been very pleased with this game so far. Capcom knows it's stuff.
