I think I found a good middle ground with the framerate, using the in-game v-sync. I'm open to further suggestions though.

You're better spec'd than I atm, lol. Dropping the game to 720p should fix any hitch you have.
I'm a 1920x1080 whore, but I have been considering dropping to this for a few games if the visual downgrade isn't too jarring.

DMC1 > DMC3 > DmC > DMC4 > DMC2
I like all of the games in the series, and I'm a fan of all (Yep, ALL.) of the series, but it's a damn shame they never actually made a true DMC1 sequel.

Mundus could do so much better
Did this patch disable controller vibration for anyone? I'm using a 360 controller for Windows, and it worked fine before this patch.
But now there's no vibration, no matter what setting I try in in the DmC options. Easy way to test is by holding down a charged pistol shot, it should vibrate for each charge level.

The responsiveness with this genre outweighs everything, imo. It really doesn't look to bad at all, depending on your monitor.

Same issue, wired 360 controller.
Also the ghost/blood rages regularly go transparent post-patch when they didn't before. Seems like a bug because they flicker out of the transparent state a bit. I don't know.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to buy the DLC on Steam; I add it to my cart and it disappears. Sometimes it doesn't even show up... Edit: And now it works, weird.
Loving the game though.

Aren't they supposed to be transparent when you aren't in the correct mode? Or do you mean they flicker in and out even when you are in the right mode?

Oh that makes sense. The transparency thing never happened for me before this patch so I didnt know how it worked.

It was definitely a glitch. He summoned the clone several times on our first fight and I think I destroyed it at one point and then Virgil just stood up without getting his energy back. He was down to a sliver and he wouldn't kneel down again. I restarted the fight a beat it in about four minutes. Pretty weak, even on Nephilim.
The game turned out really great. It's a shame that most of the boss fights were so easy but I guess that was part of the plan of making the game more accessible. Hopefully Capcom let's NT take the training wheels off for the next game.
I like that the game let's you carry over your skills to the missions on higher difficulty though, I always found it such a drag to have to start from scratch just to play at higher difficulties in past DMC and NG games (Bayo let's you carry over too doesn't it?).

Im just now hitting Mission 6. Game is amazing (loved Enslaved, enjoyed Heavenly Sword, love the DMC series).
My only issue is facing multiple enemies that require different attacks tied to not having a lock on button. Outside that, love it. PC version is amazing, and that's not a knock on the XB360 version.

I dunno...Anarchy is pretty fun with a nice team/small match, and Rising is fun enough to play the demo multiple times. For me anyway.
Oh hell rumble is gone. I guess this is sort of why Sony/MS do QA on patches.
Yeah I really don't think it's to make money. With these quick PC patches, anything can get broken anytime lol
Yeah, I liked the fight a whole lot but I had the easiest time with it. It felt like a lot of my Dreamrunner strategies carried over and I was able to beat him in one go. It probably didnt hurt that Vergil doesnt have any attacks I had to jump over which is reguarly what fucked me up in every other boss
Or... does he? Fuck I dont remember now. Im pretty sure he didnt.

Game has some pretty indepth stat tracking that I just noticed looking over some of the menu stuff. Time spend in Demon/Angel/Human mode, number of strikes with certain weapons etc.
Man this sort of thing is impossible to check in the Training mode because everything is so fucking whitish. I checked it on a mission with a different background color and yea it's there but very very hard to see. There's a slightly pinkish center color when you do it. All this time I have been trying to do it in missions where the color backgrounds are all fucked up.
That's how it's supposed to be. If they are transparent it means you are in the wrong mode. In the pic you provided you are in Human mode.... I can tell because Dante's eyes are white they should be blue if you are in angel form.

Just finished it.
There is room to grow, I think certainly there should be a next step in terms of the way the combat and the environments are incorporated together. I think Ninja Theory has some work to do on bosses, I think they were largely a bit "unimaginative", contrasting a lot with the visual elements at hand.
I really like the story as an origin story, but I wish it was a bit more fleshed out character wise, and think there was room for more developed characters and for more characters.
Ninja Theory are getting better with each game, so I hope there's a future for them.

The final battle was awesome, and it was also one of the best parts of the story. When Dante says "I don't know who I am anymore", for the first time in any DmC game it felt like Dante was a real character, and added a lot to the event that had just happened.

He has those Yamato slice projectiles but you can side/demon dodge those. I mostly waited until he tried his overhead attack and then demon dodged/counter attacked. I spent so much time fighting him when he glitched that I could pretty much see all of his attacks coming, even when he dopplegangered.
It is a fun fight though, and unlike the Credo fight in DMC4 you can jump right into this one any any other that you enjoyed. I think that NT did this with every major boss fight but the hunter and I really like it. It's like building your own boss gauntlet if you want to.
NT has a strong reputation for their storytelling so I was kind of expecting better writing all around but I do like the character development of Dante a lot. DmC Dante turned out to be the most likeable Dante of all the games (shocking when you consider the initial reaction to his reveal years ago) and they did a great job of making Dante, Virgil and Kat seem like real people in this far fetched world.
Mundus and crew couldn't have possibly been more cookie-cutter though...

No wonder I kept messing up the delay combos, I got pretty used to the rumble. It's a great addition now that I think about it.

Also he has Rebellion on his back
It's weird because it didn't happen properly before this patch. I clearly remember because it was hard as fuck to tell the difference between ghost rages and normal ones (very light blue vs white) until a non-angel weapon passed through them.
There's also a sound cue and a visual flash on all the weapons which lets you learn the timing and then helps to subtly drum that in. It's a really great addition to delay combos.

Have some of you really lost rumble? Is it a specific version because I definitely still have it.
Alright so the Revenant probably has a just charge on its last charge (LVL2) but if there's a visual indication I can't see for shit. The training mode is useless for this sort of stuff.
I have been trying to find one for the various Eryx moves but if there is I can't see the visual change... it all looks the same to me.

That's like one of the biggest anime trope ever and I am ashamed to say that NT was the one to use it before a DMC game. This is basically the stand "you are you" reply by Kat. I mean no shit... we as the viewer don't need to be reminded of who the main character is nor does Dante himself. The whole ending is just such a wash but that line really seals the deal on it.

Careful with the spoilers, you just got me good with this one. Ugh. I added in tags for the quote.
Use spoiler tags, or am I in the wrong thread for DmC?

Looking through the .ini files for a fix to the rumble issue there are some interesting variables that may point to Vergil's controls and/or some cut features. Dunno if they're new.
Possible DLC spoilers?
edit: Thought they might be new because these were some of the files changed in the latest patch

LOCKON = NTB_NONE
DOPPELGANGER_HUMAN_MODE = NTB_DPADUP

No, you're in the right thread, we just have to be more careful. I edited my quote but the original is still there for everyone to see.
Old, someone already put this info up already.

Dude come on.
Is "Fuck you" in the title a spoiler? Because he says it in the game. All I "spoiled" was a phrase that can't be spoiled without proper context.
I didn't describe anything else, so you are going in pretty much blind.
What the hell. Really? Holy shit people, come on. A phrase without context, with no names in it, with no revelation is a spoiler now.

Yep, all 1.6GBs of it. I was at
the soul furnace
That was shit easy though and V for Vendetta did it better. That was my favorite section and boss fight in the entire game though.
To be honest,
it seemed like a recycling of the final scene with Nero and Kyrie back in DMC4, down to the assurance of "you know you're you". So technically, NT weren't the first.

Is anyone feeling differences in the scoring system beyond rank degradation? It just feels slightly easier to climb ranks in general despite the nerfs to demon dodge. They must have counter-balanced it because making it significantly harder to get style points is as good as saying "well the top positions on the leaderboards are permanent now, enjoy". If NT aren't going to come out and lay everything out it needs video comparison.
Oh forgot about that one (DMC4s story is often a jumbled mess in my head). Yea OK NT weren't the first but still that's a bad trope to use.
Pretty sure everyone at the top of the leaderboards have hacked scores and shit so it doesn't even matter.
I love this game. It's amazing to me that on DMD (my 4th playthrough) I'm still enjoying every single combat encounter and learning new tricks for enemies and ways to mix up my style.
I just
I just
destroyed Bob Barbus so fast that I couldn't even get SSS on style even though I had an SSS multiplier the whole time
Oh yeah thats right! I always just used the dodges on those.
It's a bug, there's no way they removed vibration on purpose.
Frost Armored Knights shield can be destroyed by Prop n Shredder if you get it off or Tornado. It's best if you get above and behind them then Rake them up. Fully charged Raze lvl2 launches them as well.
Side note but Angel weapons build absolute shit meter when trying to air combo a solo enemy. You have to bring it down to use moves like Prop, Tornado and Round Trip to build decent style points against Angel enemies.
Whereas with Demon weapons you can just mash their stock combo and it will get you to S at least. Charged Eryx moves especially at maxed levels are very good for both meter and damage.
One thing I have noted with Angel weapons is that there is no way to fast fall with them, a problem that comes up when you are trying to combo a blue enemy. Demon weapons come down very hard.
