Boost kicking walls, obstacles, or cover will still let you activate AR mode in mid-air.

Don't forget the removed AI limiters.

Yeah, but you aren't always next to cover. When out in the open, the HMG melee is really handy.Fimbulvetr said:

Picked it up. No preorder bonus cause I was the only one to preorder it.

Evade has 10 invincibility frames. Take advantage of that.Colocho said:
Do not melee something needlessly.
Avoid overheating.

There's an advanced technique I use quite a bit. I like to call it the burst evade. You simply tap the boost button and immediately evade. It covers more distance than a standard evade and doesn't consume the gauge.
Yeah, I think overheating is my biggest problem so far and I rarely use melee unless there are only a couple of enemies.
I have a question, when boosting is it correct to also try to use the aim button? it's while I do that that my overheating problems surface.

I really like that this game doesn't fall into the shooter trope of forcing you to use one specific weapon for a certain segment(i.e. oh noes, tanks; good thing we ran into those rocket launchers a few feet back).
With proper use of AR an assault rifle can easily make up for the lack of a sniper rifle.
And going further on the story thing? I can understand people not being into certain styles, like Bayonetta's quirkiness.
But if you're gonna claim it's because you have standards for game stories, at least be consistent and don't use badly written tripe as an example of good stories. None of the seriousness in the world can make up for gaping plotholes, illogical characters, or fuck-stupid dialogue.

Gameplay/controls = 100% perfection!
This game is soooooooooo damn good!

i'm really confused by the reviews for this game. it's astounding that we have gaming journalists, like lard pointed out, that will criticize a pure and focused action game for it's brevity even though it's designed for multiple replays and scoring, yet they'll award high scores to buggy, inconsistent games like Fallout: New Vegas. i guess as long as a game is overstuffed with content, reviewers are appeased.

Such a fucking awesome game! I am not half as crazy as some of you guys are about DMC, but this is so so good. James Franco so good gif right here.

The director isn't the same, but because a lot of Platinum Games' staff come from Mikami and Kamiya's teams at Capcom, it might be safe to assume that some DMC people were involved with this.

Yea, sorry, this is what i meant. I feel the game has more in common with DMC than Resident Evil. But I am far from a DMC expert (only played the first a long time ago).
Of course the appropriate comparison to DMC would be more Bayonetta, but I still haven't tried that,
and don't know if i ever will

I agree that the game is soooooooooo good, but the controls could be a bit better imo. I'm getting mixed up between R1 and square for interactions, and I can't decide if scheme A or B feels more natural.

Consistent about what? We're not soldiers in some little fantard army - if a game is good when I was worried it wouldn't be, what investment do I have to pretend I wasn't wrong?
My pessimism stemmed from fears that the game wouldn't have substantial replay value, due to lack of content or unlockables or whatever, but this is a high score gamers delight, a true arcade classic through and through. If you're not playing it over and over you're doing it wrong.

Totally fine. Just keep on eye on the circle gauge.Colocho said:

I'm into Act 3 and I still haven't fully acclimated to the flow of this game. I've died maybe 10 times and haven't gotten any time bonus points. My biggest problem is just getting hit which makes me constantly overheat after the automatic AR. I swear I canceled the auto-AR once but forgot how.
