In September I picked up a PS2 with some games...DMC was one of them. Today I played some hours and I really love it so far, fantastic atmosphere. But that Death-Continue-System seems really aged and sucks. It ruins the whole game for me, is there something you can do against it ? For Example a code for inifinite lives ?

Late to thar Party : Devil May Cry Die

- Start date
- Be patient with enemies. It's better play defensively than offensively at first. Once you learn the enemies behavior then you can go crazy.
- Observe enemies attack pattern and weaknesess.
- Once you have enough orbs/money, buy more yellow orbs to give you chance to continue just outside of the area where you die. By doing this, it will give you more time to study the enemies and practice
- jump and roll
- DMC is the first action game in this generation that sticks to the difficulty level of the old action games. It's what they call old-school game

the key is to play DMC2 instead. Its so easy it makes you think you're a badass. Just don't go back to DMC1 or 3 afterwards. You'll cry tears of frustration.

What I never really learned to fight were those black shadow panther things. I'd become terrified when I'd enter a room and have to fight them. DMC2 would be great if it had a better story and a more difficult last boss (like the first). It has one of the best character designs since Shinobi (ps2).
This is what you do.
Play the game, when you think you are about to die save the game, the game saves the amount of red stones you collected and styles points. You then buy new moves, upgrades etc, and hopefully with new abilities you can do better.
I died 10 times against the first boss, more on the second, even more on the third. You will get better. Don't get frustrated.
Or play on easy mode, get the weapons and skills, then try normal.
I thought the game was too hard too at first but i've managed to finish hard mode. I tried Dante Must Die mode, and damn that's hard.

You've got to be kidding me?
I understand the complaints regarding DMC3 (and it's 'you die you start the fuck over again') since the missions are long in part 3, but the missions in DMC1 are (once you know what to do) 4 to 5 minutes -tops-
And Yellow Orbs act as continues. In DMC3, they are very rare to find and are pretty expensive...while in DMC1 , their all over the damn place.
There is a reason why a-many complain about DMC3 being too harsh on it's continue system, while DMC1 wasn't. DMC1 has yellow orbs hidden in nooks and crannies all over the damn castle.
EXPLORE DAMMIT!

Use firearm attacks (pistols, shotgun, grenade launcher etc.) and only firearms.
Keep shooting and evading it until it's red core is revealed.
Once it reveals it's core (it'll stay stationary at that point) bust out Alastor (or Ifrit) and start attacking.
On normal, a Devil Trigger'ed attack session should be enough. Without Devil Trigger, you probably need to repeat the process twice before it dies.

You're not kidding. I have never ever ever seen what the DMC2 "Game Over" screen looks like. But the ones for DMC and DMC3 are like old friends to me.

I died a few times in DMC2.
...actually, wait twice. Just twice, yeah.
The part where you are going up the skyscraper building escaping the helicopter, yeah, I missed one of the platform jumps and fell to my fiery death.
The next was against the 3-Headed Demon Face Boss. The lighting, fire, ice one.
And thats because the entire game was easy, but the 3-Headed Boss was actually kind of challenging, and that caught me by surprise.
In anycase not only was DMC2 easier than God of War, but it also had infinite checkpoints. No, not RE4 like checkpoints, I'm talking weak -as fuck- sauce checkpoints, the ones that respawn you in the VERY SAME ROOM you die in.
