You mean the guys that charge at you with the Chainsaw or the big guys that throw saw at you?
Chainsaw guys get owned by Overdrive from a distance and once they aren't armored you just pull them in, launch and do a long air combo on them and use Buy In to get other enemies in as well.
The Butcher you stand far from him and he will throw his saws. Parry it with Pop and get close to him do Eryx fully charged launcher. Do long air combo on him then when he falls do more charged Erxy attacks.

Overdrive is your best friend.
learn to use it and use it often
alternatively, launch them and do not let them touch the ground. Use a combo of roulette spin, Rebelion pause combos and Aqulia aerial Buy In.
Dont forget demon pull too.
or failing all that, just jump cancel fireworks or shot gun. Its really not hard and it has a huge window
Launch> Jump on enemy, shoot with shotgun > Jump> Shoot with shotgun> Jump
rinse and repeat till dead.

That didn't look fun.
it looked grindy.
like they literally just dumped an random set of enemies and called it a day.
the higher levels better be scaled properly or most people will have this beat in a day and never touch it again.

Worse case scenario:- the game dedicates 20 levels to each of the games difficulty levels from Human to DMD.
Best case scenario:- Each Difficulty level has its own bloody palace.

This is exactly how 4's BP worked so I'm sure it will be the same here.
The real question is whether it will have checkpoints or be 4's one session only deal.
The chainsaw demons get stopped in their tracks by Round Trip, even when they have their "armor" on. Made those encounters a lot easier on SoS when I realized that.
Man the stats collected in this game are insane.
Apparently I don't have any EXTREME AIR KILL STREAK even though I have 56 air kills. I guess I need to kill 3 or more enemies all in the air or something. I really think I have done this like numerous times.
Don't have an AWESOME DEVIL TRIGGER KILL STREAK either. I have pretty much all the rest of the various Style point bonuses though.
I have spent more time in SSS rank (about 1 hour) than SS, S rank and A rank.
Attacks performed without repetition: 31, 295
Attacks performed with minor repetition: 14, 364
Attacks performed with major repetition: 4, 781
As far as my damage dealt per weapon... it goes Arbiter > Rebellion > Eryx > Osiris > Aquila

Finished this last night, and enjoyed it for the most part. I probably prefer Enslaved overall, despite its many, many issues, but DmC was an admirable reboot in many ways, just falling short of greatness; certainly, it's Ninja Theory's most accomplished game in terms of bringing all the various elements together to make a cohesive whole. Still, it wasn't without its problems, and my main bone of contention was that the combat was mostly served up as a series of slightly unsatisfying vignettes; there's a rhythm and flow to the combat, and once you're in the swing of things, slicing and dicing, it's a wonderful feeling, but it always ends far too quickly, and then you're onto the platforms bits, which are essentially the parts of the game that get in the way of the main course. I would have much preferred it if the monster waves were more punishing, more frequent, and, more importantly, lasted longer.
The story was ok, it didn't really live up to the potential of taking a number of relevant social issues and weaving a supernatural demons vs. angels story around them. Clearly, at times the writing tried way too hard, but consequently, Dante came off as rather witless, with none of his barbs ever really hitting the mark. A better script would have given Dante a sharper tongue, rather than resorting to his various "fuck yous". And he clearly should have ripped the piss out of Virgil's ridiculous fedora. A more sardonic, drier Dante would have worked much better.
Loved the visuals, the design and even though the boss fights weren't anything special mechanically, they were fun, due in part to the inventive visual flair. I hope Ninja Theory get another stab at the series, as this was a solid effort, and there's plenty they could get iterate to create something really special next time around.

I spent the most time at rank B... feels bad man
0 extreme air kill streak, no triple parry
0 multishot and 50hit devil trigger aerial comb, no amazing devil trigger kill streak
attacks performed without repetition is surprisingly higher than minor and major, consider I like mashing dat axe
I love these stats stuff
Some of the enemies under misc concept art are cool as hell, they didn't use a lot of these
I usually just stay in the air when the chainsaw dudes are around, when they're underneath me I just use Rake to pull them up. They're pretty harmless most of the time since they can't hit you in the air and they're always underneath you, lol.
Hm, seems strange to have the stages just advance automatically now, if indeed that is how it works (rather than just jumping into a portal when ready).
It seems it works still the same way to some extend. But now the loading happens before you step into the portal. Unlike DMC4 where the loading happen when you hit the portal.
You are delusional. Enslaved is a good game. It is not a good action game, but luckily, that is not its goal. DmC is a great action game, no matter what standards you use*
*Except for the "if it is at the level of DMC3/DMC4 combat, it is good, otherwise it is horseshit standard.
I did some theory crafting on the stats and based on the stats you can easily figure out the following (well not easily the process is still a bit tedious):
All Enemy and Boss Hit Points
Exact Damage value of moves
Exact Style points of moves (although you can figure this out just by looking at the style meter)
Style to Damage ratio on moves/weapons (if there is some difference, I am thinking in this game style/damage ratio is proportional)
HP/Damage difference in between difficulties
Damage boost % provided by DT
Damage boost % provided by Demon Dodge
Difference in damage, hits and style gained from "perfect" versions of moves
A lot of these values would be very handy in coming up with combos. If I were still as active as I was in the DMC1/DMC3 days I would try to figure out these values myself and put them up for the community. I hope someone dedicated enough to the game can figure out these stats and put them up somewhere.

Enslaved is an awful, brain dead game. Everything it tries to do it fails miserably. It doesn't try much either, which makes it even more amazing. I guess I kind of liked it more than Heavenly Sword because Enslaved at least had the decency to know that it sucked, Heavenly Sword shot for the sky and ended up landing in the bottom of the ocean.
Enslaved is a journey, not really a game. It has great atmosphere, some nice dialogues, a messed up (in a good AND a bad way) ending, and some amazing variety in the levels. I can easily see parts of it as something inspiring several DmC zones.
The combat is bad, yep. Luckily, the game is not really about that

I. LOVE. THIS. GAAAAAAME.
This one's too positive
The worst secret mission in the game is that collect 20 checkpoint bull shit. I actually rage quit at that. It especially sucks on keyboard because it's impossible to control the camera while playing and in platforming sections it leads to cheap deaths. Tomorrow I am going to map all the platforming buttons to my mouse buttons so I can clear that secret mission and get all my secret missions completed.
Thank god for secret missions being replayable from the menu, I don't want to go through an entire mission just to get to that area. One of the best things DmC has added to the franchise.

Ezekial, don't ever give up yo. I am listening to "We Shall Never Surrender" in your honor
Why are you playing this on keyboard... still?
Because I can. And I have let my friend borrow my controller since he let me play the game early on his console.
The game is very playable on keyboard in terms of the combat. The camera is actually really good for combat but you need to move it around during platforming and exploration which ends up being a pain sometimes.
I mean I have beaten the game on DMD mode and didn't get one rank below S. I didn't die once on any boss before the Mundus one. So the controls are fine. Its not like Dark Souls on KB/M now that is awful.

If only the people arguing that people should be buying the game, actually bought the game.
Fair enough. To me the idea of playing a DMC game on a keyboard sounds.... wrong. But to each their own.

Just wanted to chime in that I'm really enjoying this game and to thank you all for the helpful posts in here. Not a big 3D action game buff at all (the only major ones I've played were DMC1 and NG/Sigma) but I'm currently working my way through the missions on SoS.
Doesn't hurt that the PC version looks fantastic and runs amazingly. NT really pulled out the stops with their environment design on this one and I'm glad that the game was ported so we can enjoy the eyecandy properly.

I do not want to know what action game fans think of adventure games or puzzle games.
That mission is probably one of the most fun for me, lulz. I have no issues on a controller. I still can't believe you're playing with a keyboard.
Yeah, that was a fun secret mission.
I havent had much a problem pulling off the doubletap moves, though sometimes I do find myself relying on using the jump as a dodge more often than I'd like because my fingers arent in a position to hit the dodge key quick enough at times
The mouse/keyboard controls in this game are smooth as butter, its not at all like the shitty experience that one would have playing the pc versions DMC3/4 with just the keyboard. I played a bit of Spiderman Shatter Dimensions the other day, and the mouse/keyboard controls in that game felt bad enough that I had to stop and plug in a controller. Never felt that way in DmC even with the dodge issue. I didnt even mind them during the platforming stuff personally.

I'm surprised at how decent the music is in the game. I usually hate dubshyte, it's the Jeremy Kyle, jobless, benefit-scrounging, special-brew drinking, coke-sniffing, run-out-on-his-kids chav of music.
It's nice and subtle in the game. Still not a fan of the combichrist stuff. It's just pop-metal crap.
My favourite secret missions are the "BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING QUICKTIME BLAD" ones. Basically mini-BPs

Its hard to go this aggro on controller.
Can it be done? Probably... but easier on kb with the right layout.

DMC4 vid, sure... but I think either way once you start to get to a certain level, the kb will probably still be more efficient.

Just finished the game and really blown away. I haven't cared for any of the DMC games but this was fantastic. Solid graphics, cheese story, and amazing combat. Only complaint would be the lame final boss, otherwise this was a solid 9/10.
Great game, I hope Ninja Theory gets a chance at DMC 2.
