Bujingai is bad, but it's awesome
throwing down the arbiter of truth.
And for the life of me I still can't get a SSS rank, I got a double S rank once!

Probably already posted, but is this not swag as fuck? Dahbomb was right, Aquila and Kablooey are definitely DmC's best contributions to the series.
Aquila is better utilized in some of the other videos on that channel, though.
Lolling all the way to Saturn. Amazing.
the more I see this, the funnier it gets for some reason lol
I'm probably going to post proper impressions, when i complete the game. I think the last mission i finished, was 16 or 17. But if i was forced to sum things up quickly. I fucking love this game!
It's funny. The first time i played the demo, I thought it was awful. Then out of nowhere, a week or two after that, i decided to give it another run. Then something clicked and I kept playing it over and over, up until the games release. So yeah, I've pulled quite the 180.

No it doesn't, which is a real shame
The gauntlet weapons in the previous DMCs have always been my favourites, but I find myself barely using them in this one. The Arbiter seems a lot more useful.IdreamofHIME

Good grief, 1st I have to update my PS3 and now I'm having to install the game.
I thought I'd get a hour in before I have to go out, guess that's not gonna happen.

I'm going through Son of Sparda now and erring on the side of beginning to dislike the combat system somewhat and I'm trying to figure out why. Probably one thing is the invincible-ass colour-coded enemies that really fuck with the pacing, also having to fight 4 chainsaw assholes who continually go into armour mode where they don't stagger. I gotta sit down and analyse it in more detail though.
Still fun but, just not Bayonetta fun.

One thing that would have made this game way awesome would be to transplant the "cancel anything with a dodge" and dodge offset from bayonetta into it.
There's a lot of times I reflexively go for a late "turn into bats" dodge from bayo when playing DmC which usually ends with me eating a chainsaw.
Yeah, pretty much. DMC1 gauntlets were way more fun. I definitely miss the drop kick.
about the only thing I use the gauntlets for in this is the lvl3 charged uppercut.

9 more levels to have all Nephilim stages to SSS. It was fun.
If you guys want me to, I could spend some time tonight and write down the SSS/SS threshholds for maps, so you can see which score you will need for that highest rank. It can be easily found out by just browsing the leaderboards a little.

You only have to try a different approach. Try the cool parry capabilities of Eryx charge attacks, the stun properties of Revenant or Kablooie, the bounce attack of Ebony/Ivory or a hint of DT on Super Armor guys. There's a good amount of "less-than-obvious" tactics for every strong enemy. That aside, I would say that the chainsaw guys are probably the most troublesome enemies in the game due to difficulty to demon dodge them effectively.

I actually don't mind the color coding as much as most people do. The one thing that bothers me, though, is how weak Angel weapons are outside of crowd control. If you really just want to kill one single blue enemy it feels like it's taking forever. That becomes especially apparent when you fight a red and a blue Rage and the latter just won't die while the former died relatively quickly. Angel weapons also feel a bit flimsy when you aren't using them on a bunch of enemies.
That's because you're supposed to resort to Aquila for crowd control/stun ONLY. When an enemy's locked by round trip, charge Osiris by attacking continuously. When fully charged, Osiris it's basically on par with other weapons in terms of time/damage as long as you use all its attacks effectively.
3 secret missions left to get 100% completion on every level in the game (and subsequently get max DT and health for Dante). While I'm doing this I'm doing the SSS Nephilim achievement (around 10 missions left to go).
After that, all I'll need to do is beat DMD, H&H and get the 5000 kills trophy for the Platinum.
Should be done by the end of the weekend.

If the Wii Rygar is a port of the old PS2 game, that was actually a pretty solid GoW rip-off when it originally came out on Sony's system. I actually really enjoyed it and it looked nice for the time.
The game probably didn't age particularly well so the Wii port seems questionable but it was more than decent for its time.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Angel Dash breaks mission 3. Fight 1 battle then just zoom to Kat. I guess that's what they had in mind for the 2 minute trophy.
This game is fun as shit.

I still have Heaven or Hell, Hell or Hell and SSS Nephilim left to do. Got all the upgrades and I suspect the 5000 kill trophy will be the last one I get.
Not sure if I'll actually do all that, though. H or H is just too boring.

Played the first three missions last night, it's pretty good!
-Had to turn the music way down, it was driving me crazy.
-Animation in combat is great.
-Characters are so stupid(this is in line with expectations).
-Surprised by how many moves there are even just so far. And again the animation on a lot of them is really cool.
-Even on hard mode it's really easy so far. Only time I ran into any trouble was the first boss which almost killed me, but haven't died yet.
-Combat is fun but it does feel like it lacks the polish or detail of a DMC3, Ninja Gaiden or Bayonetta.
-Level design is cool, Limbo set up really seems to let them go wacky. Honestly the level design kind of reminds of Bayonetta.
-Voice acting and character animation are really good. Execution goes a long way even if the plot is dead stupid on paper.
Looking forward to playing more tonight.

Yeah the 5000 kills one will take a while. I think I'm well over half way though. I'm thinking that the

CCTV sections where you can one shot like 30 enemies before you're pulled out
Car escape mission can be easily done in less than 2 minutes, too.
Also, for 5000 kills you basically need full playthrough of all difficulty levels + a second run for SSS on nephilim. After 4th run and many missione repeated, I have 3800 kills.
Goddamnit I hate the Bosses in this game...I mean the whole dance club section was awesome but that Boss,jesus such a drawn out fight,switching weapons around LT this RT that,cant see shit with all the lights flashing,grapple,pull,switch back arrrgg,I guess I dont have the patience and skill for this kinda controls anymore...I'll keep trying but man what a annoying fight(Succubus in Club)

Ooohhh, right. I played that mission for SSS Nephilim this morning and didn't get a good style ranking because I only fought the five enemies at the beginning and then took the shortcut. I knew I was missing something, haha.

Rygar predates God of War by 3 years.

I remember this one guy who used to hang on the GoW 1/2 GameFAQs boards for years, preaching the good word on Rygar, and how GoW was just a shallow rip-off of Rygar's awesomeness and blah-blah-blah. YEARS of this guy. He's probably on the Absolution boards right now...

It was a solid another game, but it was never some hidden gem of the system he preached about. GoW2 especially shits on it from a great height.
LOL what in the hell?!?!
Exactly. Not difficult, just too repetitive and about a third longer than it needed to be.
It is if you don't spam Overdrive. It's a 3 minute fight if you do it that way.

Anyone hit Hell or Hell yet?
Did you cool parrying the mirror ball and his arm attack? Both stun him for a long time.
Also, anybody knows if there's some trick to parry

On the second boss, I liked that
even though you essentially kill her with a QTE after she lands in the river, the game contextualizes the button prompts in the game with the Blue and Red grapple symbols instead of putting a big flashing X on the screen. Way more elegant way of doing that.
I hit them with rebellion on neph difficulty and it worked
