Know why that is. DMC4 is advertised in the UK as an Xbox 360 title....no PS3 in sight!

Beat Human Mode, and it is in fact a cakewalk. I only died once the whole time and even then I was revived immediately by a Gold Orb. I also didn't buy a single skill or item for either character except for Speed so I could sprint.
I considered just starting Devil hunter mode half way through, but decided to stick it out since your Proud Souls and Red Orbs carry over to other difficulty levels. The game is a lto of fun and I'll probably starts Devil Hunter mode tomorrow.

ECHIDNA is a fucking bitch!!!!!!!!! I hate her, this is the most frustrating boss since cerberus from dmc3

Really? I thought she was the easiest, got my (I think) first SSS from her.Ganondorfo said:
I found all 3 of the demon bosses to be straight up bitch made. Berial killed me one time (in the demo), frog dude got wasted first time I met him with Nero and Dante, and Echidna I think maybe managed to kill me once as Nero, but I'm not sure.
The humanoid bosses gave me a lot more trouble.

Fixed.
Dante is fantastic. The style and personality are so refreshing, he's just a badass. DMC5 needs to be all Dante all the time. Also, Dante has cool sidekicks like Trish and Lady. They just need to find a way to give him the Devil Bringer. Maybe Nero can give it to Dante as a new Devil Arm.
Anyway, I'm playing through on DH now. I'm at mission 16. I'd probably be finished for now if it wasn't for the Secret Mission. A few of them are incredibly frustrating. Particularly
the one with the disappearing platforms and the Royal Blocking one.

I know that line in the ending of the first DMC gets a lot of crap, but seriously, how is it any worse than lines in any other videogame?
Now for a question;
How the fuck am I supposed to "buster" five enemies in a row without touching the ground? I just started playing it and I'm amazed you can do it more than one time

Jump, lock on + buster, buster, repeat last 2 steps 4 more times midair. You should have plenty of hangtime.

Dante has depth, but Nero has approachable depth for average players.
Also, I'm not talking about throwing enemies, I'm talking about the whole picture. The grappling, the pulling, the environment interaction, the ability to chain throws, using it as a shield etc., all these avenues I think Capcom found their golden ticket to explore and expand with in future DMC games.
Dante's days are over, his multi-weapon ass kicking just isn't awe-striking anymore. It's in-depth, it's tactically cool, it's fun - sure. But DMC1 had instant weapon changing. Going from your pistols to your sword, DMC3 and DMC4 (dante segment) simply expand that to supreme heights, but the concept was there since DMC1.
Nero and his game mechanics are different, and I think after seeing how DMC4 seem to be a success (if a hardcore game on PS3 can do well in Japan, Europe and NA are in the bag) -- I think Capcom is going to either stick with Nero, or superimpose Nero's devil arm mechanic onto Dante.
I'm calling it now.
Personally, they should just start a new franchise called Nero. And let Devil May Cry take a rest a little bit. I say this because no other action game offers the free-form ass kicking control that Dante did in DMC3 and DMC4, but it seems people don't appreciate it anymore because they expect a DMC game to have that. I think it's time to wait on DMC5, while expand Nero with his new series.

The Devil Bringer upgrades make it easier. Also, the buster needs to happen quite quickly after even a long-range DB latches on or you will lose too much altitude. I think the DB animation can mislead you into waiting too long.ItsInMyVeins said:

No more 3 weapon cycles. Keep it down to 2.
It's easier to do one click to go back and forth instead of having to cycle between 3. I know many think more is better, but this is something that's going to have to take time to get used to, and until I get used to it, it's better to cycle between 2 then 3.
Cus' I can't pull of shit like this:

Credo is super fuckin fun on DMD. That fucker breaks out shit you didn't think he can do.
What pisses me off -- is that you never fight him as Dante. Which is the one boss fought I would have -loved- to have repeated.
IMO:
Boss ranking:
Credo > Dante > Echidna > Agnus > Berial > Bael
strictly speaking out of the 'main' boss sets. Not including final bosses, sub-bosses or anything in between.

Yeah, you really get that impression when Trish and Dante are just poking fun at everything they see. Neither of them seem worried at all, almost as if Nero and Kyrie are two high school kids in some myspace drama.

Potentially noobish question here, but why are there multiple save slots in Devil May Cry games? I only used one in DMC3, I'm only using one now. What do you guys use them for?

If you want to start a new - fresh game on a difficulty setting without your 'beefed' up character, you select new game, auto off etc. etc. and obviously choose to rewrite over a new save file so your old one doesn't get over=ridden. Playing DMD mode with a fresh level 1 character is naturally - near impossible.
I'd also imagine it allows multiple players under one gamertag to play dmc4.

I'm just being lazy now since I easily could just go and get the manual or start the game, but I'm in front of my computer now and can't be bothered with it so I might as well ask you guys; what does the automatic option change? The default is not having it turned on, right? Should I turn it on`?

I wish they'd just given me all of Dante's weapons fro DMC3
I miss my Agni & Rudra + Rebellion combo

here's an easy way to kill it
as nero:
use charge shoots to strip his barrier, once it's stripped, quickly devil trigger, do a 3 hit combo, quickly grab him, do this 3 times, if you did it right after the last grab you will leave him with very little health, he will go into berserk mode immediately, while he is charging just shoot him with another charge shoot or two, he will die immediately giving you a SSS rank
its pretty difficult to kill it as dante, but the you best bet is gilgamesh while in DT

Stick with off.
If you chose on, a screen would have come up telling you what it does.
Anyway, having it on makes some of the special attack easier to perform, it'll also do some combos for you.
But ultimately, while sounding appealing, it takes some control out of your hands, which isn't a good thing other than for casual gamers.
I've been playing the bosses trying to incorporate this Nero L3 charge shot into my game and my fingers want to kill me.
I changed it to L1 like suggested since when holding square I can't do triangle attacks well, but on L1 it's really hard for me to rev on L2 reliably. Plus when there's a lot of enemies I'm having a hard time getting the one I want to let off the L3 charge shot on. Like
.
I will say that doing a DT buster on a boss and charging the shot during them and letting it off right after the buster finishes = INSANE DAMAGE. On SoS bosses, it probably does almost 40% of their life.

the angus boss fight with all his summons flying/running around. I kept targeting them when I wanted to fire it off at him

Why did the remove the option to change who you are targeting? Pressing the thumbstick doesn't do it anymore :\

Yes it does. Did you change your targeting style in the menu?
It's the left thumbstick.

Bebpo said:
even if you hit angus's pets, if they are near angus, the explosion will damage him too. I remember one time i sink a magic bullet into a flying sword but didn't kill it, i grabbed it and threw it at angus, after a while it exploded inside him lol, that was pretty bad ass. Anyway you are on the right track, you'll get use to it. I use my left index finger for holding charge shoots, my left middle finger for reving. if you are still uncomfortable you can try put it on R2 since there's nothing there.
I did the same thing a few hours ago, I changed LB to my gun. I had slight problems revving as well initially, but holy shit. Now that I'm used to it I'm doing some rather crazy combos with it. Enemies that were an annoyance before are just getting melted now. I used to think the gun was so weak and lame before. I love this game!
