What's the deal with Kamiya's project?
I really want to see more of Revengeance. It looks like it has priorities in place. It's just tough to tell how refined they're aiming to make the combat based on what we've seen so far.

Mission 17? I'm assuming you're talking about nightmare? The blob thingy.
Well, Ifrit works well. If you have rolling blaze, even better. When it starts shooting those black missiles at you, you can simply jump around and the rolling blaze special will actually knock those missiles back at Nightmare and it's revealed core.
When you can attack the core and you're not bothered by those black missiles, a simple /\ /\ /\ /\ combo works (no need to charge any of the attacks) You can also do /\, /\. (kick 13) as it's a faster combo letting you have more control afterwards for evasion purposes.
If you have Inforno. It does a lot of damage as well. So utilize Devil Trigger with Ifrit when possible. To learn about execution on these various moves, check the 'action' sub-menu in the menu screen.
It also goes without saying that the runs need to be activated at all times. You only need to activate one of them. Make sure you attack those runes when Dante is right next to it, while you're pushing the analog stick towards those runes. Or Dante will end up swinging the other way due to auto lock.

Actually I was talking about
Vergil
Thank you though
Maybe it's not even a boss then. The spider in chapter 3 of dmc1. I've died about 15 times and I'm not sure if I just completely suck or if there is something that I'm supposed to be doing that I'm not. I watched a couple YouTube videos but neither of the players ended up beating it. Think I'll just take a break until tomorrow.

Yeah, use air raid on the spider. His top side is open to attack also. So a lot of jumping attacks onto his back work well. Only his face and top backside are susceptible to damage.
But Air Raid works well too.

That's Phantom.
If you haven't purchased/can't afford air raid you can just back away from him while shooting its face with devil trigger shotgun for an easy kill too.
You can hit the fireballs back with your sword by timing it properly.

In a nutshell, Sega can't afford to take anymore risks right now and that means a Bayo 2 has about a nil chance of happening.
Even anarchy reigns may not be released.
That said, we don't know for sure that's what he was working on, so it's possible he is working on a game for another publisher. But if so I very very much doubt it's an action game.
I had to go look up air raid and i definitely don't have that.
I was managing something with the fireballs but I couldnt get it to happen consistently.
Conclusion: I've got a lot to learn at the moment.
IMO, you could really get some subs if you decided to do commented walkthroughs for the collection. DMD DMC and 3. It depends on having a capture card or not though, I guess?

Honestly, a good devil trigger (in air /\ or Y if you're 360) on it's top backside (thorax...or whatever, the ass of the spider from the top) does a good deal of damage especially if you're DT'ed.
What also helps is if you attack the face, with a basic /\, /\, (rising hightime) then use pistols to float in the air to avoid his attacks.
Rising hightime is performed : R1+Back+Press and Hold /\

Don't jump to conclusions. AR is fine because it already has a scheduled release date. As for the other unannounced games, we don't know. Depends on how important Sega thinks the games are.
I see the gamefly has already shipped it out so I'd imagine the street date is being disregarded. Not sure though.

I am really enjoying DMC3's cutscenes again, very well done and the story was better executed than I remember. The voice acting is top notch. The Vergil battles are just insane!
The difficulty of Phantom is one of the best examples of Devil May Cry's masterful balancing and difficulty scaling. I can't remember how many times he killed me before I started to figure him out. But you learn, you adapt, and then you perfect your strategy; and it all clicks. Or you spam Air Raid!
Air Raid is probably the most fun I have ever had flying in a game. Beating DMD, unlocking Super Dante, and enjoying limitless flight was an awesome perk for beating the game on its hardest setting.
Use Wicked Weaves! PKP is you get-out-of-jail-free combo, and it will decimate flaming enemies even if Bayonetta is on the other side of the battlefield.
A (much more complicated) alternative would be slapping on the Bracelet of Time if you have it. Then you just need to charge up your magic, and hold LB to enter Witch Time.

Bayonetta 1 sold a million worldwide, didn't it? Might not be such a huge risk, as long as the sequel manages to blow people away again.
DMC1's opening hour is incredible...kill some puppets, play around with the gun a little, do a few small tasks...then the Alastor scene happens and before you know it, you're fighting one crazy boss after another. I must have cheesed my way through it when I first played the game because it's still got a bit of a curve today, even after playing years of hardcore action games.
For those who haven't seen it, no major DMC3 thread is complete without this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BGp1an_PMw
The most legendary DMC video ever made. I remember when this first came out Youtube wasn't even that big and I downloaded it through some forum via 56K because that's what most people had back in the day. Must have seen it a dozens of times at least. The absolute starting point of what is possible in DMC3 but what a starter this video is for the game and it's following.
I am sure most people have seen it here already but watch it again just for old time sakes.

this vid got me to buy the game (i was pretty stuck on NG at the time and barely noticed DMC3 had come out...)
still can't see what the hell is going on in it, but it is still awesome and got me to play stylishly.
the comments about 4 being a letdown and hoping 5 will better are pretty heartbreaking. Imagine going back in time and telling those people Capcom would hand the game off to the esteemed devs behind such titles as Heavenly Sword and Enslaved.
but hey, we got this HD collection and these games won't ever get old. at least DmC can't somehow retroactively ruin that. If it's anything like NG3, it'll be so bad that it'll make everyone wanna replay the old games!

HSID... high school days, still had dial-up back then. I used to rent PCs just to watch combo vids on broadband.
heretic still takes the crown for being the most (robitically) amazing player though. Got all SS on New Game DMD with no shopping and shuffling styles around to keep them all at Lv1.

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?
Godlike.
Greatest action game of all time!

Because my first combo video is the infamous kail one I found hell, sloth is dead to be too simple for my tastes. But over time I have learnt to appericate it's depth and use of timing, rather just relying on jump cancels, to create an amazing video.
I'm actually surprised no one hasn't tried to make a tribute video in umvc3 yet.
I love your optimism, although its usually misplaced.

It isnt coming out least not at retail, and if it does come out as a DD title, it will delayed to the point that even less people will care than they do now (sorry platinum).

The only glitch I've encountered so far is that DMC2 is on the disc.

Oh wow. I watched this video a dozen times when it came out. Such a long time ago.

...Yup, blast from the past. The one and the original. It started it all...I never knew who made that either...
Brings back memories...
It's Prince of Devil, he made another video too in similar fashion. I think he was Japanese.

Activating the panel opens up access to the Vajra - it should be a glowing item in the central column of the tower where the jump pad is. A few walls disappeared.
Then you want to take the Vajra and go to the room where you fought the living statues and use it to open up the cage around the Steel Soul (or whatever), which will then enable you to cross over the gap left by that stairway that crumbled away.

- In glorious 1080p! Dual HD feeds for a very clean look.
- This is not for combo videos but gameplay!
- Great for beginners and even DMC-gaf (I still describe a bit more advanced stuff).

Why would anyone dislike this video? WTF.
Got it. Now onto mission 8.
Now that I'm playing DMC3 again... it really upsets me on how much Capcom have really dropped the ball on this series since. So much wasted potential...
...for anyone interested, there's a prequel manga to the game that's actually fairly decent. I wish they would do more like it.

Yeah, seriously.
Replaying DMC1 is showing me all of these little touches that clearly date back to RE4 (documents about a castellan, the fade/zoom door transition, and even some shared sound effects and musical snippets). I'd love to see a book fully documenting RE4's development history.
What is it called?
