Man, I'm really rusty. But Vergil, seems pretty strong so far.

God rays making the game blurry, motion blur that can't be turned off, terrible video options, slow motion problems, bad optimization in general.
How did this happen? Another goddamn botched Capcom port when they had one of the best PC ports ever to work with.

Ppl on gamefaqs are going in on Vergil being way too powerful, saying stuff like broken and beyond god tier.

I was shopping through skills and then it hit me between seeing Vergil's skills in the DMC4 engine and the soothing ass store music, a single tear rolled down my cheek.

The mouse and keyboard controls any better? Or gamepad still the way to go?
Keyboard is playable, Mouse is unplayable for this game. Gamepad is best to be honest.
*Me after playing Vergil for a couple hours last night*
I feel like I need to play him instead of Lady. Lady is my favorite character in the series though so it's hard to not want to play as her.

Okay, good, embargo's over.
The annoying thing about this game on Xbox One is that it records a clip every time you get to SS style
So if you're even moderately good at this game, you have a lot of clips of basically every battle in the game

You can use any input device you want, but the keyboard and mouse functions haven't changed. You're not going to find a lot of keyboard users.
Lady is a different beast and only opens up once you unlock most of her moves. Vergil has an arsenal from the start.

Vergil has almost made Nero irrelevant to me... Should have given Nero more weapons..
That's bizarre.
How are you using Vergil atm? I'm about to get off work and perhaps put the game on Normal (or stick with LDK mode to git gud)

Guys, let me get this straight. The Vergil campaign is a wholly NEW game? They don't just swap characters and make you play through the exact same thing, correct?

Same campaign, more characters to play with.

You can skip v-sync as long as you aren't noticing screen-tearing, though depending on where your FPS is at (60+) there's no reason not to be using it. Anti-aliasing is more a matter of personal preference than anything else, though running a game with it completely off is more than most people can handle.
I'm really loving Vergil. As it's been so long since I've played the story mode, though, I had somehow managed to forget how much I dislike the Devil Bringer platforming. Thankfully it isn't too aggressively used after the first few levels.

do you even exceed?
As hilariously awesome as revving a sword like a dirt bike is, Vergil's stuff is just crazier/better

It's basically how you play Nero, but Vergil has an insane amount of options compared to Nero it's ridiculous. They should have added more weapons for Nero that had different implementations of exceed, or different modes for devil bringer that you select from the dpad..

Played 2 missions with both new campaigns.
Lady is really weird, even lost against Belial, managed to get a few S rankings in the mission but not even I know how.
Now Vergil, boy that guy made me motivated.

Vergil has his own Exceed type mechanic. His teleport is just vastly superior to Devil Bringer in terms of what you can actually do with it. Summoned Swords have a better movelist than Blue Rose. Concentration gives him buffed version of his own moves (similar to how EX moves give buffed moves to Nero). He has weapon switch. He has Distortion. He has Full Steam.
And he has swag.

I know, I was just teasing. But that is actually what I would like to see in the next game, an alternate weapon that still utilizes the exceed system. Same revving idea but different combo timings and abilities.
The problem is you can't really compare Vergil to anyone because they just give Vergil everything and make him super powerful. They make him Dante without the technical barrier of entry. I think Nero's gameplay style fits perfectly well into the context of the group, and he shouldn't really be pushed too far into Dante/Vergil territory.

Welp, already got two crashes to desktop. Game seems to have a problem with Fullscreen 1080p or something.

Lady is way more based on charge attacks than anyone else. You shouldn't be just in enemies' faces trying to attack, you need to dodge them while charging until you've reached an appropriate level of destructive mayhem, then bait out an opportunity to attack.
Actually you should be charging while doing her Circle moves and her Grapples. Just gotta start up the charge before doing those moves (not after).
The fact that she has an offensive dodge backwards with the grenade toss reinforces this. Her charge times are quick, and I'm actually surprised at how powerful her shotgun is.
They really made Lady's guns feel and sound powerful. It's much appreciated. The guns have never felt this strong before. Even in DMC2, where the guns were overpowered, they felt flaccid.

I remember switching to DX10 caused the game to enter this odd full-screen mode where you could see black bars on the sides. Is it the same situation here with the SE?

tried it on my laptop with gtx 750m and the performance is really horrible. like really horrible. everything is in slow motion for some reason?
which is weird because im able to play the older dmc 4 on a solid 60 frame per seconds. gotta ask for a refund
Is it using integrated graphics? For some reason it defaults to Intel.
The game also runs significantly worse I'm guessing because there's currently no way to disabled post-processing/ motion blur, which is not only a performance killer, but ugly. I had to turn everything to low to maintain 50 fps on my laptop and I just don't have any motivation to play the game when it looks so awful with that motion blur.
Everything maxed with 8xMSAA, runs great. GTX970@1555MHz and i7 4770K@4.3GHz
You can easily downsample it from 4k, this game runs really great!

Yeah fullscreen seems to make the game crash for me. Better compatibility with windowed but of course there's no borderless. Motion blur is horrible and the game just looks super blurry in general compared to vanilla. Ugh. Time to try out Vergil to get the hype back up and running.
Hmm, so general consensus is that the PC version isn't nearly as well-optimized as the original, but how does it fare on its own merits? Could one get a solid 1080p/60fps with all settings max using the recommended specs from the Steam page (i3/GTX 570)? If it can't even meet that guarantee, then I guess I'll be skipping it for now.

Stayed up till 2am playing..had to get up at 7am for work. My eyes are two blood red orbs and all I want to do is go home and play more Vergil. I don't even want Batman anymore...until I'm done..
I have a 760 gtx i5 and I can run it at 2880x1620 with 2xMSAA, not sure how it compares to a 570.
I'm running it on an AMD FX 8120 and a GTX 770 and have experienced 0 drops so far. Got an S rank in the benchmark with everything maxed.
Game is so sick. Still not entirely adapted to Vergil's style of play, granted I don't have anywhere near close to all the moves yet, of course.
Didn't know they updated some of the effects. Don't remember Berial's lava effects looking like that.
