qft, I won't buy DMC5 without him, give me few weapons and lots of different things to do with them and I'll have fun trying them all, give me lots of weapons with lots of different moves and I'll be pissed because I pressed the wrong button on the d-pad changing styles or R2 two times when it should have been one, I really admire those of you who can play DMC4 Dante using 100% of his potential in every situation.
Aurora said:Double post but I finally killed the bastard. I died on Stage 26 against a Blitz + those fire houndsin a situation like that is it better to kill the Blitz first or leave it till last?
I've played stages 1-20 so many times I get a no damage bonus on each and practically SSS rank them all too. Thank God I've finally got Berial down, I can start aiming higher.
For the most part Blitz should always be handled last. I died on floor 37 last night and capcom must think they're hilarious because there's nearly a Blitz per floor once they first start coming.
I just finished Human Mode on the X-Box 360... I bought the game on Day 1 and it took me this long to finish.
Is Devil Mode basically the exact same game just harder monsters?
If so, I think I am satisfied beating the game in Human Mode and might retire the game.
Am I just going for achievement points if I play again?

On human mode (I played through first on human to get the story), the game is basically just a beat em up game. On the other difficulties it takes some strategy to figure out the enemies, especially the bosses.
I would recommend you at least try Devil Hunter for a few levels. It will go quicker since you already know the puzzles and should be fun.

Sweet, my first S,S,S = S mission, SoS Mission 12 and wooot, 132nd on the leaderboard, never thought I'd get that high
I managed to pull off the energy ball rebound on the angels again, taste your own medicine angels haha. Also I hate Mephistos with Dante, after 11 levels of Nero I've forgotten how to fight them properly with Dante, especially hate that new attack they gain on SoS, the spinning blade

All your orbs/skills/items should transfer between difficulties

Anyone else disappointed that you can't SS missions anymore? I feel so let down when all three categories are S and my Ranking is just an S.

Yes and yes.
I played Human first and I wasn't that impressed. I then beat it on Devil Hunter and it was a brilliant experience. So much more satisfying now that I could pull off SSS combos often.BojTrek said:
Definitely give it a shot. I'd be surprised if you didn't enjoy it more this time round.

so i got the game for 360 today (meaning i now have both versions of the game). and so far i haven't seen a single screen tear nor has there been any slowdown. tho i imagine it will be there in full force once i hit the forest level (lol @ peeps saying the slowdown in the forest is "minimal"), just as it is in the ps3 ver.
one difference between the two for certain is the rumble. on 360 there is no rumble when you fire blue rose and no rumble for revving. hella lame if you ask me.

I actually ended up doing that as well... the second time I did the mission. The first time I was able to Royal Guard both of them fairly easily and get the orb to drop... only to decide that I should try to kill them before I went for the orb... and exited the mission!:lol

Yeah, they seem to have cut down on the amount of frames to perform a Royal Block when compared to DMC3.
In fact, in many ways they toned Dante in DMC4 down, as if the developers felt he was too overpowered and exploitable in DMC3. (million stab and it's gimped dmc4 range I'm looking at you >_<)

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I received my DMC CE through the mail today and am currently learning Sanskrit as I type this.
One thing that pissed me off though was the fact that it came with two separate DVDs. Couldn't they have just used that extra space on the BD for it? Or would that have increased the installation size to 10GB?
Anyways, I look forwards to playing it eventually.

Its meant to play in an DVD player so making it Blu-Ray only would limit the potential audience and result in having to two different print runs across both platform's CEs assuming they're the same DVD.
On a side note, I'm finishing up S ranks in DMD and just had the best battle with Echidna ever. I got nailed just as I DT'd and had literally no health in the bar. I was luckily able to recover
Hey all,
Doing my DMD run slowly, perhaps a mission or so every night after work, and I need HELP from the Pros!
I have found every boss (except for Berial) to be a Royal Pain in the Arse.
Bael took me an hour, Echidna took an hour and a half, Agnus took a while and Dante took me half an hour but only because I got lucky and his A.I. seemed to break.
Basically, I do not have enough orbs to use items frivolously, and I am extremely apprehensive about going forward. I just know that the Savior and the Mission 19 Boss Gauntlet are going to be hell.
So, give me your best boss strategies for DMD as Nero, please! Which attacks do more damage to a boss? A rev-ed Streak, or a rev-ed 3 hit combo? Or a split? Please help! Which items are best? Do holy waters actually do anything?
I'm terrified over here (yeah, yeah I'm a wussy).

I stopped playing DMC4 for about a week or two and went back to Son of Sparda and was getting owned. So I started on Human to get myself back into it. I beat it on Devil Hunter, but since you don't get the achievements for Easy at least I have a reason to play through again besides warming back up to play Son of Sparda.

You should go back and try S ranking all the missions on the previous difficulties. It'll give you great practice both in confidence, upgrade your stats, get more items, and learn more strategies as well as be more efficient. After you've done so, (whether for achievement purposes or whatever) DMD will be a welcome change of pace.
Finally got my shipment from Capcom today. PS3 CE with art book and bonus discs. Put about 2 hours into the game, after the initial install. The series recap up to that point was appreciated. Fun game. But now I'm going to put it aside to continue with Lost Odyssey. Also, I think I'm going to bust out the 5th Anniversary Collection and start a 1-3 run through before returning to 4.
I haven't played any of the demos, but I was surprised at how good the game felt with the Sixaxis... considering I've never been a fan of this controller, or even the DualShocks.

WTF at those chick shots? What the hell are those for? The bottom logo says for some "Gents Magazine." Did someone really approach Capcom for a chick version of Nero to put in a magazine?

Jump down to the first area, attack the hand that's flat against the platform directly. This'll knock the statue back without use of the cannons. Just traverse the area killing Angelos. I recommend knocking out all but one gem so you can just milk the clock, especially against the sword angelo by the left leg.
you know the lazers, to stun the big dude...they kill angels do. Bounce back between a platform with a lazer and spawning angels and the one that leads to it. IT gives you allot of style points killing em with it. Just rise and repeat like 5 or 6 times, you will have SSS rank style and something like 3500-4000points already in 2minutes.burgerdog said:
