No I wasn't but I was right,I was just fighting Credo and explosions randomly happened to him :lol

Then you're playing the game on auto.

The game is charging the gun for you. There shouldn't be any random explosions.

Well, unless the game itself set the tutorial to off (doubt it did,) there's nothing that will walk one through Dante's style combat schemes. I think the only thing it says is that style can be changed with the d-pad.

I should've clearified,I was using automatic but I wasn't using a Charge Shot and explosions still happened. Prehaps I'm not keeping track of everytime I press X or the game randomly fires full shots for you as well.

It plays the game for you. I seriously don't understand why someone would want to play on automatic. If you're not that great at actiongames just play it on human and buy some gold orbs/ vital stars every now and then.

Now that I'm in Dante's missions, what's the best way to take on the cloaked flying guys? Is there a way to get them to drop the cloaks like I could with Nero's DB?

Use Coyote -- a charged shot obviously works better htan a normal shot.

Plays the game for you. It's retarded.

I tried it out -- and it's literally like watching a pre-recorded video of somebody who is really good at the game play :lol

Interestingly enough, it seems Capcom doesn't want people to play auto on though. First off, it's defaulted to off when you first boot the game up. Also, when you load up your file -- let's say the next day or something' the character on the select screen goes back to auto OFF. So you have to keep manually re-selecting it back to auto on on subsequent boot ups.

The ps3 version slows down a bit in several battles in the jungle level and also in some other levels when there are many enemies. It is not THAT bad but it is noticable
Click to expand...

because the ps3 version has vsync=on, that's why when things get too busy it slows down to 30 fps.

argh stuck...i dunno if i suck or what.

i'm on mission 11, and there's 2 grim grips with a wall that i can't get over. the gamespot guide says i can't get over it until i have air hike, which i don't.

if that's the case....bad, bad level design capcom.

any help?

That's what we're saying. When you have Automatic on the game is charging your gun for you. Whenever you shoot your pistol it's already fully charged and about 2 seconds later the bullets you shot explode.

If you want to play on auto on that's on you, I'd imagine some people would perfer it that way, and whatever gets you the most entertainment out of your purchase. If it's playing on auto on, then so be it.

But like I said, it's odd how each time you boot up your file, it defaults back to auto off, you have to click RB on the mission select screen via character select to change it back. I really don't think Capcom wants people playing on that setting.

There should be a statue around there. Just go to it and refund however many proud souls you need to buy Air Hike.

...buy air hike? It's probably the most self-explanatory move in the game. The name description says it all.

It's also fair game, it's a relatively important move that's well into the game -- capcom probably expected most people to have it already.

I got over it without Air Hike, just make sure you're coming at the last grim grip from a downward angle so it shoots you diagonally upwards and forwards, then use the wall hike to clear the wall. It should only take a couple of tries.

Isn't the Air Hike only 200 proud souls? That was one of the first things I got.

Just finished it (came out the 8th here :lol) and loved every minute of it.


Unlockable spoiler

There's just one thing though... I reaaaally don't like the fact there's no character select. I know it's impossible to implement with those Devil Bringer anchors throughout the game, but I really would've liked to play the whole game as Dante, because Dante is more badass then ever in this one


Still...Capcom am god.

I think I remember that spot. I was like wtf? I actually got over the wall without air hike. Took a few tries though. Just timed my grabs really well and was able to fall on a wall and hike off of it and over it.

87:th floor in Bloody Palace... starting to get hard! Wish me good luck.

Why would you not have Air hike? That, Streak, and Charge Shot are all great moves ^_^

Another question...Do the orbs respawn at different levels...like if I collect all the blue ones from Devil hunter...then play Sparda? Do they respawn or is it just red orbs?

Anyway, Boss Gauntlet lol. It wasn't very hard though since I'm pretty good the the dice game.

Enemy Handicapped penalty is for when you die 3 times during a mission. Happend to me once on a boss battle.

blue fragments can only be obtained for once, they permanently increase your health so it's a one time deal only.

Using the L3 charge shot really really helps in DMD. The damage in DT is SO FRIGGEN HIGH that even on DMD it owns bosses. Just S/S/S'd mission 4.

I hate fighting Blitz on DMD though with Nero. I swear it took like 5 charged L3 shots just to bring his electric down.

Yup, I used the super characters :lol It was just for fun though, I'll do a more serious attempt later on. At least I'm the 10th best player in my country (Sweden) >_>

But seriously, is there? Sometimes I feel like I just want to perform a normal slash but I need to instant-rev. So no benefits at all, I assume?
