I can´t believe seasoned DMC players are not disappionted with Nero. Sure he can hold a combo.. but in about 1 way -> using that arm. His lack of several weapons is really boring.

Dante >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nero

Doesnt anyone agree? Or am I missing something with Nero? (finished it on Devil hunter)

I'm with you, and I haven't even gotten to the Dante section yet (on Mission 11 now). Nero is cool, but the fact that there is basically one move with that arm and no additional weapons kinda blows. I mean seriously, how hard would it have been to give the arm more moves? It has alot of potential, more so than the beowulf gauntlets from DMC3.

How the fuck do you do secret mission 7? It seems like the only way you can dodge the hits from the mephistos that will knock you off the platform is to jump. But when you jump others will hit you in the air and knock you off.

Even if there were NO enemies it'd still be a tough mission because of the fast platforming towards the end. Doing that with infinite respawning enemies is such BS. I've been trying for 30 mins now with no luck. Maybe I should just wait until I have super Nero.

there is an really easy way

Spoiler

1.wait for the platforms to reach the blue orb
2.streak off the starting ground (where you activated the platforms)
3.air hike
4.calibur
5.profit

and you didnt even fight the enemy
video is here

 

[Gowans]

mission 12 or 13 with the purple smoke and backtracking UG!!! lost lost lost!!!

cant be arsed with that tonight, maybe later.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

I'm with you, and I haven't even gotten to the Dante section yet

You'll see what we mean when you start with Dante. He isn't as good as he was in DMC3.

 

[scissorfight]

I use Dante, air hike with Trickster when I'm at one of the early tiles that is closest to the blue orb.

I saw a player use Pandora, but some can use Nero to do it without touching the platforms if I remember correctly.

Some people walk outside to attract all the memphisto to the place you start and kill them all.

yup, by far the easiest way is to just use pandora's argument form with a full disatser gauge to float over there. kind of cheating

 

[maskrider]

Ok, that Dante method in the video is ridiculously easy. I wish I knew that an hour ago >_<.

This Dante doesn't even need/touch the platforms with gunslinger.

This player use the platforms and trickster

[fistfulofmetal]

I also don't get the love I once heard for Pandora.

I think I've used it... once.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I think I've used it... once.

Maybe thats why you don't like Dante much.

I think Dante is every bit as good as he was in DMC3, instant style changes adds so much, it will be painful to go back without it. Sure the weapon list is not as good but what he has here is great and having everything at your figertips feels, i dont know, powerful. The problem is that this game was not designed for Dante, don't take that out on him. He still plays better, has better mechanics, weapons, moves, all that good action stuff, they just needed to showcase it better.

There's a super easy way to do this. Activate the platforms then run onto the first one until the enemies spawn. Jump back onto solid ground and kill the mephistos. Only 6 of them will appear. After that just actiavte the platforms again and handle the jumps in peace.

 

[Kyoufu]

I just realised that it wasn't a wall-run that I did, but a Mustang (trickster move) off an enemy and up the wall..

So badass. Trickster LOVE!

 

[Blablurn]

Dante is so cool! Still a great character after all these years!

 

[maskrider]

A very funny way to get through Secret mission 12

Well you get one more Devil Arm but it's a sort of a ranged weapon.

 

[Spruchy]

Game beat, all blue orbs and secret missions. On to SoS and then hopefully ill have enough proud souls to start bloody palace.

Great game A+ would play again.

Lockon+stick backward + attack and Dante throws a rose which then causes all the swords to explode.

You can do the 3-4 preset combos available (shows you how in the library section under Dante's Actions).

 

[Mojovonio]

So finally got it.

They only had the 360 version in, so I rented that one, though I wanted to play it on PS3.

I got used to using the 360 controller pretty fast. Switch lock-on to RT.

Playing through it on Human first to level up before I go through each difficulty.

 

[Dibbz]

Anyone got tips on how to fight

Spoiler

Blitz

in the bloody palace? I can seem to get his gaurd down in time, since he is jumping all over the place constantly. I tried charged shots, lvl 1 E&I and DT shots. Managed to get him down once, but he ragained his gaurd and I ran out of time. :/ This is with Dante btw. Kicks Nero's ass

Lvl 3 BR shots with Nero.
Charged shottie shots with Dante.

Lower his electricity, lay waste, turns red, turn tail.

Only way I've been able to fell him once red was with Lucifer. Forward attack x3, creating 15 swords, then at the best opportunity, SM's O. And hope.

 

[j-wood]

Well, after my previous post I decided I would get to beat mission 11 and get to Dante.


I was so much more excited to be playing as Dante again than I was when I started the game with Nero(I was pretty excited at the beginning, because Nero seemed pretty cool).

Dante is just so much more fun to play, I just did a mission with him. Switching styles instantly is flat out amazing. The sword combos are plentiful. I went ahead and upgraded swordmaster to level 3, and after one mission I already have more combos than I did with nero through 11 missions.

Character wise, Dante wins hands down. I swear if I hear Nero

Spoiler

sob and cry one more time...

[Chamber]

You'll see what we mean when you start with Dante. He isn't as good as he was in DMC3.

I think he's even better. Instant style switching adds more to Dante than the missing 2 melee weapons.

I'll also say that Pandora is the first firearm in this series I prefer over Ebony & Ivory.

if you're having trouble getting rid of his lightning with dante, the omen move with pandora (lvl 3 gunslinger) will drain it in 1 hit, even with a completely empty disaster gauge. you don't even need to finish the move...just get close and whack him with the case and his shield is gone.

edit: at least that worked on devil hunter...i'm not sure about bloody palace or SoS.

More like "If I ever see Nero look in awe as he raises his arm and looks at it as if he's never seen it in his life".

Yes, Nero, the fucking thing is attached to you. haven't you come to grips with it YET?

 

[Dibbz]

Girly girl.

hah. It's true the game isn't that hard :lol

Although when I completed it, at the end something poped up. Iit went really quickly though whilst it was showing me what I had unlocked, after the credits. Said something like you're a casual gamer or something. Think it was because I ended up with a D overall Wasn't my fault though, I was just rushing through it because I hated some of the end levels. My total results show that the last 5 or 6 levels ended up with D's :/

 

[Shoho]

two Qs...:

1)is the story any good? I liked the story in DMC3 because it was entertaining. the anime was so bad though that I wanted to die.


2)How exactly is the replay value? is there new costumes to unlock or something?

The story is shit, nowhere near DMC3 however the cutscenes are very entertaining.

Replay value is through the roof if you like being challenged. No extra costumes with the exception of Super Dante and Super Nero.

 

[Dibbz]

Dunno if anyone has saw the secret ending. I asumed that there would be one, since you get to play during the credits like in DMC 3.

Somone has uploaded it to gametrailers.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/174701.html

That video has just reminded me that Lady was pretty much missing throughout the entire game, minus one or two cutscenes. Considering her role in 3 I would have though she would have played a bigger part in this game.

Capcom had had everything at their disposal, they should have really shown each character doing something atleast. Like this I have the impression that Trish did nothing much, Lady did nothing at all and Dante was the only person doing something. Felt wierd considering how many main characters the game has.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

I too was disappointed by the lack of

Lady

. I really hope DMC5 is all about Dante and his sidekicks and their wisecracking adventures.

devil bringer.

Whats the trick with the DB?

 

[gray_fox224]

Finally got mine.

 

[deepbrown]

devil bringer.

I kinda thought it was ...sword=high number, gun=low number, db=in between. I can't remember but that seemed to work pretty well.

 

[j-wood]

I'll go ahead and tell you guys, that the plot for DMC5 will probably be about how Nero gets the Devil Bringer.

I mean, can't you just see them going that route?

 

[Brakara]

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

What? It cost me 2400 (bought it in mission 10).

 

[SnakeXs]

All skills increase in cost as you buy other skills.

 

[Naeblish]

Whats the trick with the DB?

If you smash it with Buster, the number that was on top will be the outcome. It rotates fairly quickly, but in the same sequence, so if you memorize the number that comes before the number you need, you're good to go.

Glad i read that tip here, i probably wouldn't have a controller left without it.

 

[Kintaro]

Finally getting around to playing this. I'm of two minds about it.

- I adore the combat system. I haven't hit Dante yet, but I find myself just replaying missions for more orbs to unlock stuff (and try for better ranks, but I'm not too concerned). It's just damn fun. I hit my first SSS and it felt so good.

- I dislike everything else. So far (mission 5-6) I can see where GT is coming from in their review. When the combat system is this good, everything else is crud in comparison. I don't like the puzzles, I don't like the camera and all of the minor cutscenes are getting annoying. The big cutscenes are neat and such. No problems there, but everything sans the combat is really starting to feel old and I'm not even that far into the game.

But oh the combat, how I love thee and your hand cramping ways.

I'm having so much fun with Dante, I'm going to be annoyed when Nero comes back. Dante is so powerful, mission 15 was a breeze and the cutscene was :lol
