DmC |OT| No, F*ck You!

I don't know which one you're talking about, but I don't think that was intended:

No.
Any idea when?
What's the intended way to get that? I ended up alternating between doing Fireworks and firing normally with the shotgun in the air to inch myself upwards before realizing that there's probably a much easier way...
End of Feb.
Sometime in feb is all we've heard. Vergil is poised to hit late feb, and I imagine that the title update ft BP'll hit sometime just before it.
You can fall down a gap to see a hidden path that goes up there. I bullshitted some way up there but if you follow the tunnel it ends up at the path you were supposed to fall on.
Yeah, I did that but was thoroughly turned around on how you were ever supposed to get there. I thought the main tunnel sloped down towards the generator, and the key was above you.
Yeah, you see the key above you from there. The level design can loop you around pretty good...I had that issue on mission 4 or whatever in the factory as well. Damn hallways.
lolz, I got the key the same way. I have no idea how else to get it.
BTW, the wall jumping move is NEVER used in the game. I don't understand why was it even included.
Because it's called Devil May Cry. If it was named something else, it probably would be considered a decent action game. Since they changed the story, characters, and gameplay mechanics, it simply isn't like the old DMC games.
The hallways have arrow signs pointing towards where you are supposed to go.

Jesus christ if we don't get official news on this patch soon I'm gunna explode. It's so weird (but so awesome) to have made this change to the style system.
Ya, it's better than half of them.
They do? I have somehow missed this 5 times over on each difficulty, lol.

If DmC became a new series it would be a welcome addition to my holy trinity of Bayo/DMC134/NG:B&2

How do you get 44-55 fps with Vsync on, you use Triple Buffering with D3DOverider I presume?
Yes for above S rank.

Just beat it, gotta say this is easily the best DMC game. However I'm coming from the regular gamer group here and not pro level like most of you here posting in OT.
I mean I beat all the DMCs on normal, but that's about it.
Anyway really like everything they added here. The characters, settings, and combat all felt great to me. Had no issues with the lack off lock on as well. Everything here just felt better to me especially in the story. It's not a winner of story telling but you get everything you need. If I had one gripe its that
Lastly while OG Dante has a cooler design, have to say I like this new Dante's personality and everything else overall. Not digging his loose jacket though.

vergil just Luna flips. Wish there was a better transition there, though I guess he hints at it a bit in the game.

It's a good first step and I resigned myself to the system being the way it is now permanently.
Ideally, I'd want to see a toggle for across the spectrum degradation for those that want it. The grades come a whole lot faster than the older games so it would still be comparatively easier to get yourself up there.
Nope. No D3DOverider. Never installed it on this new windows installation, as much as I've been meaning to. Just use the in-game vsync option.
As for my fps, I don't think it's all that impressive--what I'm managing, not the work done on the port. The game doesn't look much, if at all, better than the console versions. Just runs a bit smoother, with the occasional stutter in big waves.
I would say over 1/4th approaching 1/3rd of the game.
The game is decent length for an action game, it's not long but it's not that short either.

I'm not sure if it was the patch or the Nvidia beta drivers but up until today the game kept dropping my fps in the graphics setting to 25fps instead of 120fps. I had been forcing v-sync using N-inspector but now the game settings show 120fps as soon as I launch it.
That is quite a delightful surprise.

Hey, I'm curious, are you a fan of the previous DMC series?
It was the patch. Users on the Steam forum noted the same thing.
I don't really know if this is a spoiler but.......(number of chapters in game)
20 chapters (or 19 and an epilouge if you want to look at it that way)
Look in the bottom right of your taskbar, click the speaker, open the volume mixer, turn down DMC, turn up swag.
What, you don't like racking up style points to songs with shakespearean lyrics like "Hey you, what the fuck is wrong with you?"
Or I can just turn off the music sound in the game and play something else in the background. I was asking if I could just replace some of the music tracks completely or something
lol, I know, I know
There's no custom soundtrack ft for the pc version that I know of.
I think it would be troublesome, because all the battle music tracks are divided by instruments/sections. But I bet someone can do it.

Definitely feels like you have to stay on your toes now if you wanna maintain SSS. Good stuff

Dreamrunners and Drekavac are hella cool enemies to fight.

Probably the most interesting enemy in the game
There's this one room in mission 8 where you have to fight 2 of them. Camera does absolutely no favours. It's horrible

I've been fighting Virgil for like a half an hour. I had him down to his last sliver of energy 25 minutes ago but he won't go down! Is this a glitch? I looked all around the environment to see if there's something I'm supposed to trigger but there's nothing. How do I end this?
Devil Trigger when you get his health as low as you can before he summons the clone
Took me a while to figure out too. It's not obvious, but when you do it...it's like "Oh". I think it took me like 15 minutes.

^Devil Trigger and hit
Oh god your avatar. I am scarred man, that cut scene what the fuck.

Yeah, when the camera's bad...it's awful. I think I had 2 bad cameras in the game, and on the last boss stage it was really bad too.

Oh my god, I must have killed the clone or something because he's been gone for the majority of the fight. It's just been me fighting Virgil endlessly with him at almost zero health. It has to be a glitch.
Hmm that sounds like a glitch. I'd recommend you just die and start over. So his health doesn't go down at all? When I fought him, his health went down and he would summon after a certain point and regen.
I have played Devil May Cry 3 and 4. I wasn't in love with DMC3, but it was a good game. DMC 4 was simply eh, I lost interest in it pretty quickly.
I really enjoy the look, OST, and feel of this new game. I might even say more than DMC3.
