Actually I left lock on r2 and used the middle finger to control it, index nearly always charging the shot on R1 so it held the controller steady for my setup. L2 feels right for the rev/exceed mechanic. L1 was left as a DT for me.
Its all personal preference but I've enjoyed trying to be helpful in this thread.

I've cleared bloody place, but the attempt before I won I died to the 3 chickens and a blitz cause I ignored the chickens :lol
Anyway, question: For the orb / proud soul achievement that requires 1 million of each, do you need to have said amount at once, or is it accumulative total(so the ones you spent actually count as well)?

They are the ones that embarrass you by dropping a blade in your head when they die.Narag said:

Just run or roll, and never EVER taunt after you killed one.Zzoram said:
oh wow that stage was painful, 3 giant scarecrows (chickens) and 1 blitz, all can DT after a while. But try to put them togather, or at least position yourself so you can see them all, their throwing blade and spinning charges are surprisingly accurate and does good damage. The blitz is just there to annoy you, it should not hit you if you have decent reflexes but kill those chickens first, always! don't let them throw blades at you.

Anybody got any advice on how to use Dante's different styles in an efficient way? I mean, right now I'm mostly using swordmaster and spinning Rebellion on them and not so much more. I'm not really sure how to work the other ones good.

Been waiting since before the game came out for my GAF account.
I've been playing off and on lately, but last night I played mission 4 on SoS. I was expecting the blitz to be out on the balcony where he was for Dante, so needless to say I was surprised when he appeared after I killed the frosts. I got blitzpwned the first time (you have to time the L3 charge shots more than I thought). But the second time, I ended up killing him and getting an S the mission.
Played mission 5 on SoS, that mephisto/frost room was pretty tough.
two observations:
1. Anyone else think it is MUCH easier to get an S on a mission here than 1 or 3?
2. Does everyone know that during a DT DB animation you can continuously hit shoot and score some extra chip damage with the phantom swords?

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
It was awesome overall. The part where half my tooth fell of is another story though.Darkpen said:
Yes, I'm being serious now. I can take pics if you demand >_>. And no, I didn't actually HIT my cheek, I was rather straining myself too hard

Hehe, I'm just very impressed with what I've seen in this video.Darkpen said:what's that supposed to mean? D: Babelfish and google language tools fails me for what "verfickte" means
Finished it this weekend. Despite the great fighting, visuals, and overall polish I walked away a bit disappointed.
Reusing the levels the way they did was cheap. Fighting bosses two and even three times is also cheap. Both factors totally destroy any replayability the story mode has. Bloody Palace isn't personally doing it for me, I just rather play another game. I gave up endless fighting when I stop playing Centipede and Galaxian.
So why did they reuse so much bloody material? I have a theory: they had to in order for the game to fit on the standard DVD for the 360. I would be curious to learn the size of the game, how much space it takes up on a 360 disk and how much it takes up on a PS3 Blu-Ray disk.

So you think that extra material would be free to develop? Usually a game has a time/monetary budget and you fit the development of said resources into that. I doubt the disk space had anything to do with it.
Seiken said:
I know I risk being burned with the hellfire but I'm throwing it out there hoping that someone with more knowledge than me can support or disprove my theory. I wouldn't know where to look when it comes to finding out total game size in Gigabites, or if that's even relevant.
I'm fine with games reusing some stuff here and there but this game went way, way over the line of decency. For example...
The jungle part was beyond shit in this regard. Nero went through and broke a bunch of stuff, ensuring that no one could travel through it again. One would think they would just let that level die but no, instead purple clouds of teleportation allow them to milk this dried-out heffer even more. It was simply shameful.

Well when the special edition comes out that would disprove that theory wont it.
forgeforsaken said:
Running with your theory, why then did Devil May Cry 4 take so much time and money to develop, to the point where it became a good idea to make us play the same game twice, whereas every other game I've purchased this gen doesn't have to resort to this kind of nonsense?

Extra content that will appear on it?Dyno said:
You play through somewhat similar areas with different characters. Also, blitz only appears twice on DH and thats in Dante's levels.Dyno said:

Why would they do some dumb shit like that? The only reason they made an SE for DMC3 was because the continue system was bullshit and they had no way to patch PS2 games. And even then they only did it because 3 was going GH.

This game is severely lacking in unlockable content. I know maybe i am just blind to this whole but Dante is an extra character argument. But whether be it a special edition or DLC, i expect capcom to be selling extra content for this game.akachan ningen said:

With Dante you fight on the city streets and with Nero you fight on the balconies.
Honestly, the bosses feel very different when you fight them the second time. Mission 19 is just lame.

Oh yeah... in Hell and Hell, the street battle with Dante was pretty damn intense. Seriously, wow.akachan ningen said:With Dante you fight on the city streets and with Nero you fight on the balconies.

Wow, the 2nd Dante battle is hard as hell. Anyone have any tips to beat him?

Am I missing something when I DB the knights? In the DMD mission 5 video it looks like Nero revs it longer than I remember doing when I play. Maybe it just seems shorter because I am thinking about my next move. Is there some combo you can do after hitting O for the buster on the knights?
