Off-topic but you know what we really need? Another Shinobi game!

Can't for the life of me get an S rank on Mission 2 as Vergil. I'm too damn powerful and every enemy in that level on Devil Hunter dies too fast.
You're goddamn fucking right we do. Tate NEEDS to return.
Rare footage of the Quick Draw McGraw anime adaptation.
S ranking all of Human mode is actually really annoying because the enemies die so quickly. That was the case in vanilla as well.
I adore Shinobi and Nightshade/Kunoichi. I played Nightshade until I S ranked everything for the costumes. I wish we could get another.
Mgr is seriously one of the funnest games of last gen. You, sir, are wierd.
It's not slander, it's a descriptor.
Is it slander when it turns out to be true?
That's way too dramatic.
Anyways, MGR was fun.

Take no damage is the easiest way to do that one on Devil Hunter. The style requirement for an S is 6500 and pretty annoying to reach, you can get around 2000 pretty easily against Berial if you just get the crumple into full steam or whatever other massive style gaining attack you want. But no damage adds a 1.5x multiplier to your score.

My brother just uploaded his full Bloody Palace run with Vergil:

Another actual collaboration between series would probably be impossible, but I'd love it if Kaneko worked on a future DMC. It's tragic that it's almost been seven years since he's been involved with the art direction of any game at all.
It's probably the only time I've actually enjoyed fighting Sanctus. The lock-on defaulting to his orbs was annoying, but not much of an issue considering everything else that made the fight so tedious is completely trivialised by Vergil.
I mostly feel the same way - Lady and Vergil are unique characters who allow you to approach the game in completely different ways; but Trish is basically just a neutered Dante - fun on LDK, but fairly boring when compared to the rest of the cast. I hope a hypothetical sequel tries to differentiate her in a major way. Giving her more in the way of traps via lingering charge shots and various kinds of homing lightning mines (to replace Pandora) would help, as would adding a few 360-degree inputs if they really don't want to give her any toggles. It might also be interesting to take her two attack buttons further, and have them be used in sequence with each other as light/heavy combo buttons, as with Bayonetta - it'd be a terrible direction for the main game, but it could work as a gimmick for Trish alone.
Wouldn't you have to edit the model manually for that? I don't think it was possible to remove Gilgamesh in the original game without doing so, at least...

Before I came here, I joined many DMC-related forums where pros there would tell me the exact same thing and would spew nonsense like, "you're blinded by nostalgia". They even tried defending Tameem and Capcom's atrocious attitude towards the classic DMC's and said that we were all just "sensitive/brittle fanboys". It was unbelievable.
Those were some very dark days during the DmC years and I'm happy that the true DMC is back.
I missed uncle Dante so much.
I do have to say, NeoGaf has the best DMC community.
I'm totally clueless on this modding stuff..how did he stop the timer in bloody palace?
Most places on the Internet especially the hardcore DMC forums were pretty down on DmC though.
The only place that was fully supporting DmC at the time was DMC.org. After DmC's release the IGN DMC boards were pretty much nuked from orbit, DmC killed it. DmC was always mixed on GAF.
4Chan hates DmC so much they didn't include it in their recent Style tournament despite having a lot of crud games on there that have no business being on there over DmC. Now that's the type of irrational hate that creates the negative image of the community.

I'm not gonna go into too much detail about that place, but I had to leave there because of how the situation had become.
All I'm gonna say is that it's fine if you like the reboot and all. I don't care. But going as far as to trolling, flip flipping, harassing and even dropping inappropriate comments about your sexual orientation/preference is unacceptable. That's where you draw the line.
Feels the same to me.
Speaking of Nero, I got a four spin Streak. Happened when I killed a Scarecrow and destroyed some environmental items. Thought it might be when you kill an enemy, but I couldn't replicate it. Not sure what causes it, tbh.
Hmm...I have to go and check that out.
Except they didn't revive the dead here. But... okay?
DmC hate is so fucking weird to me. I get being attached to characters but the pushback against the game is so so so crazy. I haven't personally played it but I've been meaning to pick up the fancy edition. Being angry with all the PR is fine, that seemed like a shit show but everything I've seen of the game (I've seen a lot), the game just seems inoffensive.

Everything about Rising is fun though.
Is it really that hard to understand? You don't have a favorite video game that you hold in some high regard? Mario, Zelda, Halo, Gears, Uncharted, Castlevania, MGS, RE, SH, FF... Nothing?
Just got this game and one thing that REALLY bothrrs me is that there isnt a training mode for such a combo heavy game.
Bloody palace has a timer, which is idiotic.
You would think that they would have a sort of training area where you could test your abilities/combos without enemies dying all the time or the game FREAKING TAKING CONTROL AWAY FROM THE PLAYER TO PAN THE CAMERA OUT OVER AN AREA.
That last part really pisses me off. Makes me remember why I hated last generation so much. Taking control away from me. Stop.
Also. No retry button to get instant runbacks. I can't stress enough how important that is to me. So far, quite a frustrating game.

having a toxic PR campaign that has it's mess spread long tendrils into communities leaving a long term negative impression with folks surprises you?
the combination of being an unworthy successor in terms of actual quality and the toxic attitude towards fans of the series it appropriated should be enough to understand why there's still a lingering hate for the game

MGS2 Raiden is the type if character you'd get if Otacon wrote the script. He's stupid. MGS4 and Rising Raiden is B movie cheese, which is exactly what Metal Gear is, as hell and he's awesome for it.
Back on topic. Gameplay wise DMC4 Vergil might be my favorite DMC character. The guy is pure fucking awesome.

It was a game with merely decent combat mechanics in a series known for defining Stylish Action as we know it and whose last two games are still considered high water marks for the genre.
Also, the PR and media coverage basically called OG DMC fans dumb luddites with white hair fetishes and then accused them of sabotaging Ninja Theory's otherwise inevitable financial success and video game narrative revolution by not buying enough copies of this game that was apparently not intended for them.
This. It was like going from top shelf to warm keystone lights. And if you called it bad, you were called names and when you didnt buy it, you were called more names.

Yah I agree a training mode would have been nice, and probably not that intensive to implement on a tight budget (just grab a scarecrow and give him infinite health, on a bp level with no timer). Toggle timer for BP would have taken like less than a day to implement... These are a must for DMC5....

Anyone have any tips with Trish vs Blitz?
Whelp, finished getting some feeling back by getting S rank on Devil hunter on every mission, with all characters. To this day, I'm always forget to even try to get Neros Ex-Act to work so I'm definitely behind there. Charge shot 3 all day long tho.
I'm totally out of my league with Uncle Dante for the most part, but I can still whip out some stylin' now and then. Vergil is such a monster that I essentially forget to use DT with him altogether. I guess that will fix itself when I'm moving on to the higher difficulties. Lady is a destroyer, pure and simple. All 3 of her weapons rock face so hard when you start applying the charges. Trish is pretty basic, but still decent fun to use. I resent her lack of options on dealing with Blitzes though. Luce and Ombra basic damage is pretty crazy high, but still not enough when compared to the other options. Facing the Blitz with her VS what happened with Vergil was such a stark contrast.

trish vs blitz is super annoying
i discovered that if you can actually get them to be hit by a charged volcano then it'll instantly shred their shield but that's like a completely unfeasible situation
can't wait to see what folks come up with her in regards to dealing with 'em because my current method is just DTing and hammering em with bullets

^ Thanks for watching Sey'
How is Intertia Rainstorm going?
As bad as it sounds, DmC got me into a bad habit of that. Even after all the years of playing DMC4 I still wish I had toggle-on.
Also, I thought this was quite funny. If you search for Hideaki itsuno on Google, you get this:
I'm enjoying the hell out Trish. Found a bit of tech with her but not amazing yet.
Lastly(To go back on topic):
Was takling to more during my stream yesterday, they all think Vergil needs balancing/tweaking. I'll a video or something but so many people I know say he needs Tweaking.

I hated it until i realized the pandora laser beam destroys them
It is also pretty easy to hit with if you wait for them to do their own laser beam

Lol, one of these things is not like the other =p Speaking of Dragon's Dogma, I wonder if there are any lessons he can take from developing that, no necessarily the open world of course.
But yeah, I hope DMC5 will have toggle- Using 3 fingers to do 1 move is too much for me @_@ Mostly because I'm too used to that from Rising and Souls.
At least make it an option like other games.
Gah, I knew I was forgetting something in her arsenal :S. 'till next time, you electricity covered shitmunk. I've got your number now.

I appreciate the information. Yeah, Yes Asia has by far the best price and shipping for me, but I am leaning more towards NCSX or even Play Asia due to some horror stories I've heard about Yes Asia. Going to try to make my decision by this weekend hopefully. Using Paypal would probably be a good idea, right? I could just get the digital version and I would surely be playing it much faster, but for some reason I want physical copy for something as beloved as DMC4.
High concentration gauge, Devil Trigger only. Triangle + Circle.
It must be purchased first. It's called Judgment Cut End.
So am I crazy, or is this the best action game ever created? Turbo, LDK mode, five deep, unique characters? This blows both Bayos, DMC 1 and 3, and Ninja Gaiden 2 out of the water for me. The nuance and depth of the combat mechanics...It's on another level. I always loved Nero, with his exceed system and Devil Buster; but Virgil, Lady and Trish, and LDK mode feels like a generational leap in action gaming.
So yeah, really fucking enjoying this.

Ohh ok thanks I bought it awhile ago but I just thought it was DT then just use it.

It's the best combat without a doubt, though the rest of the package in terms of campaign, pacing, and structure is extremely rough and uneven. That honor goes to the likes of DMC3 and Ninja Gaiden Black.
Hmm. I don't think I've seen it mentioned, but I may have just missed it. Either way, Vergils summoned swords totally cancel out Sanctus' firebolts/balls/whatever. You can just hammer the shoot button and plot your next diabolical move without moving an inch where that particular move is concerned.
