Yeah it can be annoying. I plan on using a guide for them and the keys/secret mission locations. Though I have most of the Lost Souls/keys/secret missions already luckily.
Tank top Dante. and nothing for HoH. Will check tonight if I get something for SSSing nephilim, but I don't think it will
you gotta be shitting me

When there are a couple enemies on the ground and a couple enemies in the air, it gets touch targeting the enemies in the air. For instance, I was in a battle with a couple ground enemies and a few flying ones with shields. I needed to get those shields out of their hands by hooking them but I kept pulling the enemies on the ground closer to me. I'm sure with more practice I'll get to a point where I can pinpoint the enemies I want to target but it is tough.

It really is. Even for moves I know I'll like and use I still use it to get some practice in before using it in battle.
This brings a tear to my eye.
Vergil hype transcends genres.
This was in DMC4 as well. So yeah it is already a staple.
Ah, haven't played 4. Only 1, 3, and this.

You have spoilers in your quoted reply...Might want to edit that out.

The boss fights are definitely starting to get old. Succubus on DMD is basically the same as it is on any other difficulty.
Even though I still get a chuckle out of being called a disgusting fuck child for the third time...

People think that whole Fuck You exchange scene is terrible and all.. but honestly it's some of the most fun I had in the game in terms of the cutscenes. At first I thought it was juvenile, now I think it's hilarious in an extremely tongue and cheek manner.
They are not hard to find at all. Found all the remaining keys,secret missions and lost souls today and all i did was explore the levels thoroughly. Sadly i didn't get anything out of it but achievements.
Yeah, I'm not doing do great on keys and secret missions either. Clearly some things are only accessible after revisiting a level with new items, but not to the degree that I'm missing : (
I'm consistently pulling B rank missions with a smattering of A-rank because I get low ranks for completion and time from all the fruitless searching...
Context is everything.
It's one of the only memorable cutscenes in the game along with (late game spoiler)
Vergil making a dick joke.

Yeah, I don't know what NT's intention were, but her foul language is pretty amusing.
I don't know about context... it just felt a lot different from everything else in the game. There isn't nearly as much cursing or throwing insults back and forth like that in the game.
Beat it. Loved it. Enjoyed it more then DMC4, but not as much as DMC3:SE. Maybe Vergil's Downfall will change that. Here's my pros and cons:
Pros:
+Great combat. It may not fully live to the DMC standards, but it's still fun as hell and retains a lot of what makes the DMC combat my favorite in the hack & slash genre.
+Good story. Nothing special, but I liked the cast of characters espcially Dante, Vergil, and Kat. The dialogue with Dante and Vergil in the last few missions were great. All three were well-written characters.
+ Environment. Beautiful, vibrant, and fun to transverse through.
+ Platforming. As simple as it was, I had fun grappling and angel dashing around the awesome environments.
+Aquila <3
Cons
-Color-coded enemies ruined the otherwise great flow of the combat.
-Bosses. As cool as some of them looked, they were boring to fight. Bob and the final boss were the only fun ones.
-No lock-on
-Final mission.
I'm going to start SoS and try to get even better. I cannot wait for Vergil's Downfall though. Also, as much as I'd rather want a DMC5, I would be alright with a DmC 2. Ninja Theory did a great job so far and they can easily improve on a lot of areas.

I understand they tried to get the DMC3 hype into the game with a final Vergil fight, but the sudden heel turn seemed so random and forced. The boss fight was great, but I felt it was unnecessary to make Vergil evil from the context of the story. I loved Dante and Vergil's brotherly relationship. Maybe Vergil's Downfall will change my mind. Also the ending was just...what? Almost looked like it accidentally got cut off at the end.

I just beat the game and is was tons of fun. Going back for completion and to better my play
The ending really felt um...thrown out there no?
Still a fun last fight though.

Vergil wanting to rule didn't have much build up or hardly any. I mean you knew he was a douche or letting Kat sacrifice herself during the raid. He drops a sentence then boom fight starts. Wish they built the hype more before
Still a fun last fight though.
From the sounds of it not much. It was mostly a Tameem thing. It's more of a name slapped on thing.
They mentioned that he tightened up some aspects of the plot, tweaked some of the dialogue, and offered some input in other areas. That's pretty much it.
Still pretty cool though. Always thought he was a talented dude after reading The Beach. I like how he is subtley attached to NT now. He DID write or at least come up with the story to Enslaved.

Yeah, but you were defending it before anyone had actually experienced the context of the full game, weren't you?
Such foresight.
Ezekial knows a top shelf game when he sees it.

We need to hook Hey_it's_that_dog with some Virility. 100% guaranteed to tone down snarky rejoinders!

Do the enemies put up any kind of a fight on the DMD difficulty?

Since the wait is killing me, I've been playing DMC4 most of the time. Can we please have style change in the sequel (DmC2 or DMC5 with Nero) with the same announcer? SWORDMASTER!
What announcer?
Glass Rebel
Member
Eh, that voice telling you which style you've changed to.
Edit: or is that Dante? Doesn't really sound like him IMO...

I think he means the guy that yells SAVAGE/SSADISTIC/SSSENSATIONAL when you get them.
No idea when it's being released. All Capcom said was that it would be released shortly after release.
You can't really judge textures from those shots, though. The first shot has motion blur in the foreground, the second shot places the camera very near the floor, and the third shot uses depth of field. Textures all look fine elsewhere.
It's Dante.
Glass Rebel

We'll see, I hope you're right. Those shots didn't really look that good to me.
They need to get the voice actor back then

Ah my bad then, thought it was out for launch. Cheers!
They overwhelm you with sheer tankiness and numbers. Only a couple of enemies provide an actual fight. It also becomes sort of tricky with colored enemies spread in between regular enemies. It all comes down to picking off one any at a time usually going from strongest to weakest.

Played some of this last night after exchanging my PS3 copy to another EB Games that had a couple of 360 copies left.
Wow! I absolutely love this game!! I had to pull myself away from it as I really want to fully savour it. I cant say that about many recent titles. Fantastic job by NT here. Ive always thought that they were a unique and talented developer (emphasis being on unique). DmC has catapulted them to another level in my eyes. This game is right up there with my favourite action titles so far and really makes me hope that this sells well enough for a sequel. If Ninja Theory is on in at the helm again, count me in!

Huh. That is odd.

Camera can be a huge annoyance when you have 2 or 3 big monsters that require special attacks. Other than that its a fun game but I don't suspect to pick it up again once I finish it.
