yep my fingers feel soar and like... it's freezed/glued to the controller. Nero is far more reliable/easy in blood palace, EX streak can disperse enemies, L3 Charge shoot is like a super fast and long range rocket launcher, disperse, interrupt, knock back, its very important when you are getting mobbed. Devil Bringer is used to snatch enemy out of their swarm so you can pick them off one by one. I don't recommend using buster, unless you are in the air because you are very vunerable on the ground during the buster animation. Always try to launch the enemy in the air and combo them, you are safer on the air, on the ground just use alot of streak to disperse them.
Btw, if you have a maxed out Gunslinger and use Pandora's "Omen" move (the one where Dante opens the box and blinds everything) on the Mephisto's, you basically throw them out of their shadow coats instantly at the same time....So yeah, that was pretty cool to find out. 
EDIT: Oh, wow...It works against the flying swords as well...They ALL fall when I open the box!!!

You know what'd be awesome?Darkpen said:
If my fucking PS3 would update my score.
Here's the thing, I had some router/switch issues and as such my PS3 was offline for the entire time that I was playing through the game, I cleared all of DH with my lowest mission score being a B, I then moved on to SoS, got a new router so I was able to get the PS3 hooked up again and I'm sitting at 0 points, it seems as though everything I did on my first playthrough just did not register.
So yeah watch out dudes, I'm catching up to all you fuckers with my 0 point score.

Gah, where did this Vagrant come from!
I'll take back my overall DH lead easy, I am down only 20000 points. SoS I still have a while to go to get all S ranks, then we can compare the scores.
Anyway right now I just had the best run I ever had. I just redid mission 2 on DMD mode for a second time (got an A rank the first time) and everything just clicked. I still got hit, I am not one of these no hit DMC gods but I am good with getting combos and staying alive, I went through the mission getting great combos and everything. Then I got to Berial and I destroyed him in like a minute, I don't even think I got touched against him. It was crazy awesome, when I finished I was like "did I do that?"
When the score goes up I will be like 60 something in that level.

Couple questions of advice on DMC4-tactics:
Is there a quick way to, with Nero, dispatch Mephistos (or at least transform them into their bug counterparts) without using the Blue Rose or the "Snatch" maneuver? And how about the demonic-plant/scarecrow hybrids? Mid-combo, they'll just whip out their bladed vines and not only disrupt your combo, but also propel you backwards with a hit to your vitality gauge.
I'm far past this, but I've been going back to play the levels with Nero (Mission 18 currently).

For the Mephistos I find that mid air buster works better than Snatch, as far as the hybrids go I use Bluerose to keep myself at a range when the blades come out.dirtmonkey37 said:

no other way to strip mephistos out of their cloaks, you pretty much have to buster, snatch or shoot them down.
for scarecrow-chimera hyprids, there's nothing much you can do, time your attacks, hit and run, chargeshoot can knock them out sometimes, you'll get the timing down then you'll develop a sixth sense for them. For Dante, i just use shotgun, stinger shotgun owns them.
Just keep buster-ing those till they fall, then go at it. Mix in a charge shot here and there too.
Also some help for myself...Royal Guard on SM7...the 5 royal guards. Like...lol...How do I do it?:lol I seem to only be able get up to 2. Not to mention where is a check point so when i die against them. I dont have to start from the Ancient Plaza again

I lucked out on this mission. Both Mephisto's surrounded me and started doing the same laser attack in succession over and over. It was the easiest move to anticipate so I built up the five blocks in no time. The alternate and easier strategy is to take one of them out. After that just look for the surviving Mephisto's laser attack. It comes with an audio cue, a high pitched whine, listen for that and then RG. The Mephisto will occasionally throw two other moves at you but avoid those and wait for the laser again.
Speaking of challenges on human, is there any reason NOT to do them there? Can you complete them all on human, and are most easier?
I'd have to go through the game again since I played on DH, but I find most of them incredibly annoying, so if its easier there, I may just do that

I don't think the difficulty modes have any bearing on the Secret Missions. You can complete them on any mode, save and quit the mission and you'll have the blue orbs added to your inventory. All I did today was finish up the remaining secret missions on human mode so I could max out my health bar for Son of Sparda and DMD modes.
I'm trying to do an all S rank SOS mode. I will keep trying the mission till I get it. Basically I'm stuck on Mission 2 already:lol. I get S for time, A for stylish points and A for Orbs. I've tried the mission at least 5 times and can't get past the A ranking. Where the fuck am I missing some Orbs. It says I only get 93% of them?

My triangle button is beginning to lose its "clickiness." And even worse, it's on my Dual Shock 3!
OH NO! 11!!! :lol
The triangle buttons on Playstation controller have always been a bit faulty. The one on my Sixaxis works fine though, but I'm not willing to sacrifice rumble for a tad more "clickiness."

Is it loosy like a typical kiosk controller? I've never had a gamepad that's become that bad even after 5 yrs of usage.

Just hold down triangle (or Y) after the stinger without moving the stick.
On the subject of the million stab, was anyone else dissapointed with how it is in this game? It manages to look worse than DMC3's and doesn't seem to be as good at crowd control.

Ok, see what you mean. You can do it at the end of a stinger by hammering triangle as quick as you can just before it hits

Gamers with exquisite taste (Devil May Cry fans): I implore you to write Capcom and ask them to make Trish/Gloria playable if for no other reason than to solve The Mystery of the Doubtful Panties.
yay! thank yeemaskrider said:
Also, question: how the hell do you look at the sides of those difficulty clear gallery images? nothing I move or press lets me look!

Oh my god.... these are fucking awesome D:

Yes, please! :lol But no, really, I want the next DMC to be a FFX-2-ish DMC spin-off, where you get to play as Trish and Lady D:GremlinInTheMachine said:
No idea, man. I had to rip those (and then edit the damn program demo's watermark) from a flash video, or more specifically, youtube. Here's the link:Mefisutoferesu said:

Its actually missing something like 10 frames of animation that the original had (and yes, I know this because I counted the original).

Just got to Dante. First DMC game ever and so far I think it's great. The only problem that I have is that the right analog stick is used for camera control (which I almost never use anyway). Instead it should be used to dodge with like in Godhand, works a lot better. Maybe I'm just not good enough at the game but I find it quite hard to dodge probably.

Just use L2 and R2 to scroll, on PS3.
Lince said:right, but they could have added user information into save files so the scores wouldn't work online for other users unless they beat them or something. Well anyway I don't mind playing through the missions again (online this time)
The game will create a network data file when it first start.
The game save files are associated with the PSN ID/network data file on DMC4 PS3, you can download others save files and play but the online part will not be used.
Not sure if you can turn an offline profile to an online profile after adding a PSN ID. May be not I suppose.

graphically though...the game doesnt really look like that. Heh, I never believed it in the first place though.
Still looks great, but grrr...
