Have you done your own personal comparisons on both retail builds? I have and I call it like I see it. Don't take my word for it though, try it for yourself, or don't, it doesn't matter, I'm just here to share my findings.

that would be verry awesome, But i really would like him to get a REAL DT, i mean his own body changing to be honest. Give him Nelo Angelo DT thats not a "ghost" and ill be happy. And make two campaigns, one for Dante and one for Nero, just like DMC2 only now with more awesomesauce instead of fail.

Yep, its going to be hard playing DMC3 and having to choose a style and weapons before a mission. Having everything at your finger tips is amazing.
Lucky person you are:lolJunpei Heat said:

Rolled a 6...****
Rolled a 2...4....****
Rolled a 3...1...2...****

It should have saved my styles combo too.Danielsan said:
Luckily I had couple of good combos and was hoping for good rating. And I saved it just before boss fight. :lol
One thing I hate is enemy spawning when you are figuring out where to go. It is not everywhere but just when I run in circles to figure out where should I go next, every room and area will have enemies. I'm not even trying to fight them.

The full OST is being released at the end of February, I believe.
Level 12: 10 minutes to get Dante out of that fucking castle... god I stink...
Not only do I suck at controlling him, since I was just getting good with Nero, but 10 fucking minutes... FUCK!
I played it once last night and went to bed... I will try one more time tonight before bed...

Can I hold lock on before I do left/right + A? or do I have to hit all 3 at once?McDragon said:

Just fought Credo for the first time, what a cool fight, until he goes beserk with low health, his health was so low I couldn't see it before he went beserk, took me 3 small healths and a medium to get that one last hit in, still a cool fight, I peeked at youtube for his DT buster move, man I'm gonna have to try and save my DT better for that next time

Well i guess this game isn't for everyone.
Speaking of which, "i guess you aren't some casual gamer" gave me a chuckle.

I suppose,I did get S Rank on the mission.
Danielsan said:
How do choose which number you want the die to fall on? This would help a ton on Mission 19.
ack, so they still don't let you keep your health items if you die ? that's retarded. I mean why would you bother continuing if you aren't good enough to beat that boss without the health item? I recall in dmc3 it took my 2 or 3 tries to even figure out how to fight a boss and well as this was the standard north american edition I'd figure out the pattern only after using all my yellow orbs and green orbs and only get the boss half dead before dying myself.
Okay so my next question, if you continue in dmc4, given that it says you still used the healing item during the fight does the bosses health atleast stay what it was when you died or does it make you start over from scratch? If it's the latter I'm skipping the game.

You dont, the numbers just change in a specific pattern that never changes, whatever the face up die is thats the one it will come up. Because the numbers change so quickly you usually hit the die on the number before the one you need.
If you dont beat the boss after a couple of tries, they get weaker.Pachinko said:
edit: Really, devil hunter mode is not that hard, heck its probably easier then DMC3 SE.
Pachinko said:
DON'T USE ITEMS.
SERIOUSLY.
THE KEY TO DMC EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT VERY GOOD IS TO NOT USE ITEMS UNTIL YOU HAVE THE PATTERN DOWN.
For those having trouble: Items really should only be used when you are 99% certain you will win without items but you get killed and need an item just to finish the boss off of make it to the next checkpoint.
DO NOT JUST SPAM ITEMS. YOU WILL STILL DIE AND LOSE THEM.

Personally i think that beating a boss with Nero and Dante counts as two different boss battles.
Ah, okay well that doesn't seem super terrible. There's a certain skill wall with the devil may cry series for me. I did beat the first one on normal in spite of the game recommending me to switch to easy within 2 stages , it took my nearly a year because every time I played the game my right hand would cramp up from insisting on shooting everything until dead once they got airborne. Also the battle with gryffon in that game I used ebony and ivory the entire battle, basically I was my own worst enemy with how I played the game. The second one as we all know was basically a pathetic cakewalk that only approached difficulty in the 11th hour against the final bosses. The 3rd one though, the fight I speak of where I basically gave up was the first battle with virgil and again since it was the US version the easy mode that I actually DID pick was actually normal difficulty . There's just something obviously different with the playing style in dmc VS ninja gaiden where you know, both are considered difficult games but ninja gaiden I never found hard in the same way as devil may cry, possibly because I'm playing 1 of them correctly and one of them very wrong.
Ah well, I wouldn't mind grabbing some new games but I'm edging towards no more heroes.

Hopefully this isn't lost in the thread but does DMC4 stage structure essentially just have a set of 6 levels that you play through twice with nero and once with dante followed by a couple of final leveles , 1 for each character? is that why you have to fight every boss 3 times? I mean I recall the original devil may cry you had to fight the spider twice, gryffon twice and nightmare what 3 times? , even the dark lord mundus himself was a 3 stage boss battle although that's a final boss so it's pretty standard.

You fight the bosses once with Nero, once with Dante and then once more with Nero. Except for
Credo
Edit: But the levels and enemies are altered for Dante.
Edit: Nero fights all bosses twice with that one exception, Dante fights the Bosses once with that one exception. Gah i am trying to avoid giving away spoilers, but anyways fighting every boss 3 times is a bit of an exaggeration.
Ok one more, heck there are some enemies in the game that are just as good as a boss well you might as well call them a mini boss. Blitz for example, every time i ran into that thing i died at least once even if i had a full health bar.

Just got up to floor 80 and died, ended up being ranked 115 and the top Canadian by a mile!
When they mix a blitz with those fishes and the swords it starts getting nasty....anyone here beat it yet? What's the last floor like?
Its supposed to be Dante at his most powerful, so probably DT. I should take that Canadian comment as a challenge, but i am not that good.

Same as my nick here, "Lostconfued". Yeah after seeing that i want DMC5 or at least playable Lady/Trish.
I am terrible at this game. Just when I was starting to get all warmed up to Nero, they do the ol' switcharoo and made me feel I was playing with 2 left hands.
What's this? 4 Different fighting modes? What's the difference? How would I know which to pick? The game needs a sort of training ground for such modes. I leveled up sword master, because it sounded more in-tune with my play style, but maybe there's a better option for me.

Swordmaster: extra melee attack
Gunslinger: extra shooting attack
Trickster: dodge
Royal Guard: block
And then later on you get a fifth form, but don't worry about that yet.
The simplest form, or at least the one that's probably easiest to understand, is Swordmaster. Just work the extra attacks into your normal combos.

the 'second part' starts at 1:50ish
I've never watched the opening, but I have a feeling this is the song..just because it's the only memorable song in the game
