Yeah, I really liked this.
It's the same basic principal as a QTE ('You've beaten the boss, now finish it off in a cool way!') but it's actually interactive, and you feel much more involved in the process. Was great.

Yeah, I really liked this.
I already posted that video a while back.
I actually like that EVERYTHING in the game is not cancelable by a dodge. Some moves are balanced that way and even NT had the foresight to see that having the ability to dodge cancel out of Trinity Smash would've been too good. Plus Dodge Offset would have absolutely no effect on a DMC game because it doesn't use a dial a combo system.
Late dodge is very effective in this game just the timing is a bit different from Bayo. If you do it with the Demon trigger you get the Demon Dodge and it's all sorts of powerful.
It's been 3 days since the game's release... I see no FUCKING SWAG VIDEOS!!!!!
:lol
Yeah, Red Orbs became pretty much 'meh' since Devil May Cry 4. S'all about 'upgrade points' now.
Yeah but I finally beat him/her lol...I keep on trucking,mission 16 now I think...I do think the game adjusts some stuff for you though if you miss stuff and the like,it pushed me forward a few times after I missed stringing hooks and the like...and I am playing on the normal difficulty also so maybe that's it...from Nephilim on maybe the game doesn't do that...

I'd also like to credit ninja theory for not putting even one QTE prompt in the game
Wait what's this... a good action game can be made that casuals can enjoy without putting in QTEs???

As disappointing as hearing that the boss fights overall are not that hard... I'm ok with this... seeing how I've been playing the Ys games nonstop for the last month or so. That's some true rage inducing shit.
I found it harder to get to grips with than the other fights, though
Vergil still gives me grief
Red orbs are hard to come by in this game. I want to have my health maxed out before I tackle SoS and DMD but those damn crosses are getting expensive.

Did you buy the console version after all?
He reviewed the game already haha check the review thread
He reviewed the game already haha check the review thread
I know that he reviewed it, this thread is my home
Question is that if it was a rent or something like that, cause I know that he wants the pc version instead.It was my friend's copy, I told him if he got the game early he would contact me immediately. He did, he got it at 10 AM when the store opened and told me he got it. I took the day off from work to beat it.I know that he reviewed it, this thread is my home
I have only played a little bit of SoS though. He's still playing through it and I think he's on DMD mode. He digs it of course. My PC version is paid already so when that releases I will be doing the 100% walkthrough (BP, SSS ranks on every difficulty except for the HoHs because they are jokes, all achievements etc).
Mission#11-13 is a great section of the game.

painful to see, no thanks on that last part though, i'd like a true devil may cry sequel, all i can hope is the sales are just low enough to make a DmC2 an impossibility. let NT make another IP with what they've learned butchering this one in my eyes.
Mechanically, he was incredibly lackluster. But damn, on a conceptual and presentation level, I thought he was amazing. I loved the "intermission" bits between health bars.

I noticed that I haven't unlocked the trophy for defeating all enemies in mission 6, even though I've actually already done that. Is there anything I could have missed?

Other day I did the 4 costume pics but I got time today to show the costumes in video which include the DMC3 one so I did one here for anyone who wants to check it out - http://youtu.be/hTpr5L7ffoA
HOW DO YOU GET THE COSTUMES????!!!!!
PC version 60FPS + DMC3 Dante costume + Bloody Palace = Almost authentic DMC experience
My god, that skin looks terrible on Donte. His scrawny ass proportions are really highlighted with the DMC3 skin.
He honestly looks better with his normal one.
I've got roughly the same computer as you. If you can wait until next Friday, you'll know for sure.

Even if I didn't think this was a great and fresh new entry to the series (which I do) I'd still want to see NT make a sequel just to spite "fans" like this.
Haven't fans been spited enough already?
If there's a sequel to this game, expect to see red jacket/white hair Dante, 60FPS game play, better boss fights and taunts back. It would be more like a DMC game than DmC. And unless they fuck it up like DMC2, it will be better received.

I hope this game sells like crap. So we can get the old Dante back.

What people fail to realize is the fact that it is thanks to NT that we have another game in this series at all. Obviously, Capcom's in house development team is incapable of following up on 'nerd'core fan's franchise expectations (RE6 anyone?).
Folks crying over the death of DMC will have to learn to deal or move on to Platinum or some other developer for their niche needs.
What makes you think they'll go back to the old games if this doesn't do well?

WTF is this? DMC is a niche title now?
That didn't answer my question at all. Capcom is still capable of making good games, Dragon's Dogma is a solid game made by the director of the DMC series. If he wanted to make a solid DMC game, he would've.
And even if there's a sequel to DmC, you would be delusional to think that it won't have some series trademarks back. They are not going to move further away from the formula just to spite the fans, I am sure NT/Capcom have had enough of that already.
You are playing and enjoying a niche game by the way. Don't expect it to sell 5 million copies. DmC is still a very combo centric, mechanics heavy game unlike many other casual games out there.

I don't, at this point if the game does sell like crap, I hope they stop making them. Capcom has been making too many shitty decisions this gen. They can be the next THQ for all i care.
Capcom Jpn is very much capable of making DMC5. They just didn't want to do it because they felt it was getting tired and stale, and opted for for this entry instead.
Fans like these are the reason people wish failure on this game. Just sayin, playboy.

Whatever. You certainly can't please everyone and focusing on the deluded and jaded is certainly not the best place to start. All I know is my hats off to NT or any developer for being able to focus and create a quality game with the rabid expectations of certain subsections of fans like some in this thread.
So you'd rather have the series die instead of continuing on with games like this (which is pretty damn good)?

Exactly. I didn't mean to imply that they couldn't make another DMC, but, like you said, they made a choice (and a good one IMO) to go with a developer with a fresh outlook.
I finished all the secret missions. There was one particular Ivory one which was the only difficult one IMO:
Glad I've done them though. All Lost Souls found too. Now to focus on SSS ranks, DMD, etc.
Blue Rage, Red Rage and a Siren all at once and they seemed to be around Son of Sparda difficulty. And in a small arena. So fucking annoying.

ha ha "spite"?..thats your only motivation huh?..
what you are, is far, far worse than the "rabid fans" you speak ill of.
Can you give a brief summary of all the secret missions? You should probably spoiler it.
does DMC fans even want a DmC2?
How about you just pretend the game doesn't exist, while the others actively enjoy videogames instead of wishing closure on companies.

We're not getting DMC5 so why not

Skin looks really good. Since I fully expect them to work on DmC2, I hope they beef him up a tiny little bit and go with this look.
DMC5>DmC2>Nothing at all
Played through the first ten chapters of this now. Really enjoying it. Some flaws (Don't like the blue and red enemies :/), but mostly really cool.
Also, AMAZING art direction. The script is getting (Was getting, maybe? Dunno if people are still moaning) a lot of largely unwarranted hate. It's not amazing, but it's definitely not too bad either.

I would much rather have an internally developed DMC5 BUT I will take any DMC game that comes my way. DmC2 by NT with a bigger budget, on next-gen consoles and with more active collaboration with Itsuno would be fine by me with some key changes. Of course I already know what they should change for me to like it more but I am more interested in a casual perspective.
The hierarchy of DMC request:
DMC5 (Internally developed headed by Itsuno) > DmC2 (developed by NT) > DMC5 (developed by NT) > DmC2 (developed by Itsuno and Capcom JP) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> No Devil May Cry at all
I don't know where I would want a DMC Bloody Palace edition though.
