>thinks dante is the shorts and hawaiian shirt uncle

>>16227981

Nero has bantz other than Fuck You too. FY was all Donte had.

Nero's fucking Devil Trigger looks amazing.

>>16227981

>that father/son aggression

>>16227987

This "FUCK YOU" wasn't bantz though. It definitely wasn't intended to be bantz. Nero's just pissed.

>>16227990

That's true. If anything, his fuck you is more Breaking Bantz.

>>16227996

And if anything he has an actual reason to be fucking pissed at Vergil. He's an absentee father for one.

Donte was just dumb at all times.

Quick question. How do I into Exceed? I went through DMC 4 without using it. Is it really meant to be revved before a combo? I could have swore you could exceed at the last hit of a standard combo but I could be wrong.

>>16228035

If DMC5 takes anything from DmC, it only takes the few things DmC introduced that were actually cool. It's the same with what DMC3 did in regards to DMC2.

>>16227951

wwwwhat cpu? If I should even bother downloading

>>16228081

>game is pretty easy

Replay it on higher difficulties. DMD in this game is legit harder than any of the previous games.

I just updated my drivers and are about to start my free copy back up, but I was running into issues where the game drops to 10fps and is stuck there before shooting back up to 60ish. Anyone else getting this?

>>16228086

welp I have 6350 so guess I am fucked too.

>>16227981

>>16228108

Really says a lot that this is the first next-gen game actually worth playing, and therefor the first time my PC's actually felt outdated. The PS5's only year away, or something.

>>16228122

DmD is fairly fucking easy, the brutality of it comes from them just bloating the fuck out of enemy HP meaning shit just feels slower than hell to kill and the game just vastly increase the time you have to realize how shitty the combat is. Especially for V

>>16228122

Although having your devil bringer back is pretty good for post-game content, although that being the only thing isn't good enough imo.

>>16228099

Hm. Looks like it's still an issue. I guess it happens when certain effects hit the screen? I just died for the first time and it fucked the framerate. Is the OP the fitgirl release? I have the one that released before it.

>>16228216

Vergil looks fine honestly.

>>16228216

This is just being blown out of proportion now. Imagine being this outraged just because it doesn't look like anime.

Does anyone like V? I'm wrapping up the S-ranks and I just can't break it on Mission 5, I don't get it.

>>16228081

>game is pretty easy

Really? I thought parts of DMC5 on Devil Hunter were harder than parts of DMC4 on DMD.

>>16228039

There are a few combat notes it takes from DmC, for sure. Jump canceling isn't as broken as the reboot but way more forgiving than DMC4, same for enemy hang time, and counters are a lot more prevalent than they were in 3 or 4. I guess that could be a DMC1 reference, though, there are no shortage of those.

>>16227981

Wasn't "fuck you" a DMC4 quote to begin with? I know it was one of Nero's buster taunts, and he gives Dante the finger in Mission 11.

>>16228252

>Does anybody like V?

Yes, I like him a lot.

> I just can't break it on Mission 5, I don't get it.

Are you spamming Nightmare? Are you mixing up the combos shadow has while also using Griffon while also taunting?

>>16228258

>Are you mixing up the combos shadow has while also using Griffon while also taunting?

Yes yes and no, I stopped taunting because it didn't seem useful for V. You do mean the taunt and not the R2 poetry reading, right?

It is a pretty marginal difference, I keep getting ABA with a 1.2x multiplier, but it was frustrating to be on my fourth attempt at the mission after coasting through the rest of the game on all S-ranks with no effort.

>DmC 2 shilling thread

>>16228331

love to shill by providing a torrent link

>>16228335

>>16228336

>They're still getting baited by this

>>16228306

>Use nightmare? It's just the devil trigger, not some super- special move.

I know, it's my own fault, because that's definitely the way I see it, using Nightmare doesn't even feel fair. I only summon him in a pinch, It wouldn't even exhaust the DT gauge since there are so many white orb clusters in that mission.

>I think I'll have to let the story sink in to truly judge whether DMC3's story is better

Well the pacing is better in DMC3, anyway. DMC5's banter is head and shoulders over DMC4's, though, I wonder if people will look at Uncle Dante more dimly now.

>>16228306

I will never understand people who say the game is fine, 1 of the three characters has a combat style that boils down to "mash buttons and read a book while avoiding attacks". They don't even have a single unique final boss between any of the characters. It's pathetic. The gameplay itself is a step back from 4 as nero or 3 as dante, and 4 was quarter finished.

Awful game you should feel bad for liking it. Side note you are actually retarded for even dying on demon hunter

Oh christ I just figured out why I was never getting enough style points in that second part of Mission 5, I was missing an optional mob behind a breakable wall.

>>16228348

Haha, okay anon. Whatever you say. I also enjoy talking about games I haven't played.

>>16228357

That's pretty important. Is S the best rank available on a mission? Because I was surprised by how many of them I was getting. I was expecting more As.

>>16228306

>Vergil looks fine

His hair looks pretty bad though, instead of looking like it's combed back it just looks like he's been standing in a wind tunnel for an hour.

>>16228368

>Is S the best rank available on a mission?

As far as I can tell, I've finished a mission with an S in every category and both the No Continue (1.2x) and No Damage (2.0x) bonus, and it was still just an S overall.

>Because I was surprised by how many of them I was getting. I was expecting more As.

It's a shame, too, but I guess DMC3 is the only one that got it right by acknowledging a "perfect" rank anyway, even if it's just on the total results screen. 1, 4 and 5 not directly ranking you on damage taken made it way easier to get the ranks.

>>16228368

Ranking is almost entirely on how stylish you are. You get points deducted if you use auto-mode, continues, gold orbs, and you get bonuses on no damage and no continues.

>>16228355

Habeeb it!

>>16228221

If looking like having a midlife crisis look is fine for you then I really feel sorry for you friend.

>>16227960

>pasted the URL like a nigger

wew lad, just show yourself out

>>16228426

I would've preferred if it was based off of time, damage, and stylish, rather than just style because it just feels too easy now. The worst part of the ranking system for me was always the Red Orbs, and in 4 it was especially bad because you had to hit so many tiny objects to get red orbs that it became annoying.

>>16228416

The bird carry has an absurd amount of Iframes, you can use that to avoid basically anything. Also there's a shit load of Iframes on nightmare summon, abuse those and just jump constantly while spamming abilities.

>>16228426

Mind explaining about V more? I was enjoying him but probably at a pleb level. Playing through on Devil Hunter, and some missions got a bit difficult with V but overall was enjoyable.

>>16228476

Is it me or is the Dr Faust weapon Dantes stand?

>>16228487

If you understand that then it's just a question of standing away from the enemies and knowing what moves are actually a threat. There's not many, the horse boss is probably the hardest V boss because he can slow you and then 100-0 you instantly. After stage 10 though the game completely nose dives in difficulty so it's smooth sailing. Virgil on DmD is hilariously bad and is probably the easiest final fight in the series.

>>16228426

>Anyone here have opinions on this? I seem somewhat undecided.

I guess you'd have to take a poll of high-level players and see how many of them actually care about the ranking system anymore. The skill ceiling towers over the S-rank requirements, so there's a limit to their usefulness. I think the best thing you could hope for in a game like this is that the ranking system pushes you towards the most enjoyable way of playing, punishes unskilled players, and rewards skilled players without forcing anyone to do anything unusual or go out of their way to get the rank (like Revengeance's "Longest Combo" and Zandatsu requirements).

It seems inevitable they'd take away the Time component of rank, since it's completely pointless. Returning players who know where they're going will always get the S in that category, and first-time players who take their time exploring will always be punished for no reason, so why bother including it? It's probably better than trying to force DMC5 into a Viewtiful Joe style ranking where it times you per enemy mob. That said, the rest of the rank components were perfectly fine and I think removing them is a mistake. My biggest fear was that 5 was going to have DMC4's "Orbs Found" category, which was cancerous, but that doesn't mean orbs are pointless, just difficult to balance. The idea is that you should try to finish off enemies with a high style rank, which tests a different aspect of high-level play than just racking up style points. They could have easily made it so that only orbs picked up from enemies counted towards that category.

Like I said earlier, though, the biggest misstep is carrying over the DMC1 and DMC4 ranking thing where it only awards you a bonus for taking no damage instead of making it an integral part of the rank. I don't know if you ever S-ranked or SS-ranked DMC3 on DMD, but it's legitimately tough, and a lot of that is because of the Damage Taken category. It's not so bad on the lower difficulties, but once you hit DMD you can barely take a few hits without losing out on the rank, and you have to take 0 damage to get the SS. Of all of the games in the series where I worked to get the ranks, that's the one I'm proudest of, because it was the most challenging. I look at my DMC4 Total Results screen and just think, "Eh."

Its really good. It doesn't really break any new ground, other than V but that is fine. The story is a bit messy, feels like some of it is missing. Some enemies are a pain but mostly fine.

Also holy shit, some of the bosses were a breeze while others stomped me many times over. Vergil was familiar from playing 3 but also a little different so took me some time.

>>16228551

I guess theres the DMC 1 fights but does that count since Vergil wasn't really in control?

>>16228543

>Don't use the lock-on too much.

Really? I guess I am playing it wrong, Shadow was always in the wrong places at the wrong times when I wasn't using lock-on.

>>16228487

>The problem is on DMD everything just deals so much damage, and there are very little, if none at all ,health drops

Would you say it's like GMD?

Who the fuck decided starting the story half way through was a good idea?

>>16228581

Quentin Tarantino.

any mods for the game yet?

>>16228543

By damage, I mean damage taken, not damage delt.

Okay, PC guys- I'm running into an issue where light sources start appearing out of nowhere based on my distance to a location. I've tried just about every graphical setting available to me, but nothing's changed. Anyone know what this is?

>>16228644

Networking allows you to watch other people's progress in the same stage you're playing. At the end, you can give them either a "Stylish!" rating or no rating. What comes out of all that, who knows.

>>16228644

And by "watch progress," I mean you can see their style rating when they're in combat.

>>16228658

Which you can barely even see much of anyway as they are usually isolated to a small area that cannot be reached let alone viewed or they're so far away by your position, you might as well just give everyone a thumbs up because they all just look like hopping dumbasses in the distance.

>>16228665

Wait, you can ACTUALLY see them?

All I ever saw was a "Starring: X Player" bar that showed their style rating.

>>16228652

Why did they use real people for the models?

Why not reuse the old models from DMC4 and then age them?

The real models looks retarded when we already HAD models for these characters, especially Dante he looks like a fucking lanklet now

>>16228664

>Since when does it start in the middle?

The very beginning of the game is half way through the story. To get the first half that actually introduces the new characters and sets up the plot you have to read the novel.

>>16228673

A couple of times but they were not easy to spot.

>>16228673

Depends on the map. On the first V mission you can see Nero on the sunken buildings from the mission prior.

>>16228656

Getting rated gives them a gold orb at the end or when they log in next time depending if they're online or ghost data.

>>16228673

Yeah. But it's usually off in the distance somewhere. This is best observed in the 3 missions after 13.

>>16228678

I thought those were scripted NPCs.

>>16227853

Does it perform as well as REmake 2?

>>16228681

They're only NPCs if it says "The DMC Crew" which means you're d/c

So this game has hidden weapons so fae I've only found the original Kalina Ann. That aside is it wrong to want Capcom to add Trish, Lady, and Vergil as playable characters?

Why does this game have so many people kvetching like autists here?

>>16228686

DMC Crew is still ghost data from actual developers playing.

>V.

>Acts much older than he looks.

>Seemed strangely protective over Nero in the beginning for seemingly no reason.

As if it wasn't obvious from the start. Did this really turn out to be a big twist to anybody?

>>16228688

Kalina Ann seems to be the only one in the game. Then again Dante has so many moves at his disposal that his arsenal is the most expansive it's ever been.

I guess some faggots just cannot have people actually having a good time with a new video game.

>>16228704

But at the end Vergil didn't even know he had a son.

>>16228688

No clue, the game itself is a disappointment, so obviously you have people over-reacting and because the brand is so beloved (more so than the game) you'll have people claiming it's THE BEST GAME EVER!!!@!! obviously the two groups are going to clash. The game is a 6/10 a disappointment that's unfinished in spite of taking 5 years to make

>>16228673

Yeah, I seen people multiple times and people see me back.

A V player in the 3rd mission got my attention before by coughing loudly using his taunt so I taunted back at him.

In the 3rd mission where you can choose all 3 characters you can get into fights with them all together but I only fought with a Dante player as Nero.

>>16228664

Shouldn't you mount Nightmare to keep the DT gauge from falling? You can still control Shadow and Griffon that way. It seems like using that with White Gainer is what you're supposed to do. I'd also assume the best way to maximize style points is to milk downed enemies for combos until the last moment before using Checkmate, and I think Touch and Move gives you a style bonus too. Not that I should be critiquing your gameplay since I'm the one who's struggling with the character anyway.

>Mind you, I'm not Donguri or a "pro" at DMC

Donguri and the other truestyle masters I'm aware of have only put up Nero and Dante gameplay so far, so they might be confused as well.

>>16228674

>Why did they use real people for the models?

It was Capcom's mandate, right? "Photorealistic" games sell better?

>>16228704

>Did this really turn out to be a big twist to anybody?

Even after the reveal trailer, which was all I saw before playing, no.

>>16228717

>Nero's DT is great but it feels he got it way too soon.

You mean "late," right?

>>16228664

The lock on advice you gave earlier is making a ton of difference. He’s actually fun to use now. Thanks

>>16228725

No, I mean he calls Kyrie and suddenly he just gets it.

I was hoping for something worthwhile to actually happen before he gets it, like a first fight with Vergil and he loses and gets impaled by the Yamato again or something.

He didn't even see them fight he didn't even know if he would be in time or not.

There was a missing feeling of urgency, to me anyway.

>>16228723

I don't think they're confused so much as there's no real way to make V look impressive or really do anything other than the standard with his kit. He just isn't suited for the type of action most people looking at a game like DMC enjoy.

>>16228743

The game feels like they cut about 20 missions and the plot advances at an absurd pace near the end for no reason. I totally agree

>>16228674

Capcom idiots. They also picked unsuitable face for Lady imo.

>>16228704

It's not even presented as a twist, since he just straight up admits it nonchalantly. The only twist in the game is that nobody important actually dies.

>>16228723

Supposedly the RE engine is built around using facial capture. I guess Capcom invested so much into the tech they want to get the most out of it. They should probably go back to stylized again in the future. That said Nico looks 10 times better than her real life counterpart, holy shit.

>>16228758

>The only twist in the game is that nobody important actually dies.

Take that back!

Gryphon was an awesome character!

>>16228484

I'll give that to you because I had it equiped as the King Cerberus fight started and as the camera panned back from the anime half-orb explosion Dante was striking a JoJo pose. I was besides myself.

>>16228767

>Gryphon

Anon…

>>16228664

>>16228736

Also, using nightmare more liberally is really helping. Basically getting nonstop SSS ranks now

>>16228792

I just wish Nightmare had more moves to him.

>>16228644

People who pirate the game won't get this.

>No turbo

Why

>>16228674

>>16228723

>>16228750

I wonder if the push for "photo-realism" is coming from the San Fransisco branch at Capcom.

>>16228797

Ill just be happy if some nip finds a cuhrayzee gameplay style for him, but for now he’s a fun distraction from the real meat of the game.

>>16228804

>>>/vg/

>>16228815

I really don't think he has one, enemies don't stagger enough for him to do anything neat, and it's such an uninvolved playstyle you can't make it look impressive.

>>16228704

I was calling that V is Vergil for a while. I was wrong with the specifics of him splitting himself into two though. Also, there is the ability you get for the cane which is blatantly summon swords. Gives it away right there and one of the library items is someone's diary of looking after child Vergil.

>>16228688

Some are ebin trolls, some are people disappointed by the game. Parts of it are great and the best its ever been, others are weaker than earlier entries.

>>16228878

I'm going to say you're wrong here, nothing in the game hasn't been done better in other entries. The style switching would be nice… except the mod in 3 handles it way better than 5 does.

>>16228867

>shit characters from shit game is acknowledged in some novel

Nothing was lost.

>>16228710

>Kalina Ann seems to be the only one in the game

Is that true? What a shame. I was hoping for more hidden weapons. I bet they'll add new weapons as fucking DLC.

>>16228893

I feel that the fighting against usual enemies is better than other games. No enemy is as annoying as the angels or ghost clouds from 3 or the Blitz from 4.

>>16228914

Vergil just looks like "What the hell happened? my life…"

>>16228920

I think the annoying enemies served to better break up the pace and force you to alter your playstyle though. Is it a good approach? of course not, but the issue with 5 is that every encounter plays incredibly similarly, usually 5-6 scythe dudes, then the butcher dudes, and then one "large" dude or two armored lizard demon things.

>>16228927

I actually think the reason Dante's face looks like that in that game is because it was originally gonna be Donte, but when DmC flopped they had to change and rewrite it.

>>16228931

They could perhaps be more offensive, though on higher difficulties I'm sure they are. There's plenty of variety with the enemies in 5 I think.

>>16228980

They aren't really more aggressive so much as more damaging. I've had enemies AI just bug out and attack walls even on DmD

>>16228934

No, the reason they all look like shit is because they reused models from MvC3 which were designed with that game's comic book-esque shaders in mind. You can't just swap out the textures on a model like that and assume it'll look fine.

>>16228934

I think it's because he's been motion captured from Reuben Langdon, otherwise they would've cut costs and gave Vergil the same face instead of giving him a Dan Southworth face.

>>16229024

he was talking about game play after microsoft nearly put platinum out of business for being too Japanese you fucking simp, hang yourself

>>16228217

I've been getting slowdowns and frame drops on Mission 2 and onwards until you reach the sewer area, then again when beginning V's first level. I'm not sure if this is an issue with any cracks or versions of the game or drivers or just my GPU. I can run REmake 2's demo just fine, however.

>>16229024

I get the feeling people who take quotes from Kamiya's twitter just haven't read much of his twitter. The man posts any random thought that comes into his head, none of it is serious. Unless you're expecting him to actually make that Devil May Cry x Bayonetta game, Viewtiful Joe 3, that Bayonetta sidescrolling spinoff starring Jeanne, that W101 spinoff starring Wonder Blue, etc. Same goes with some recent quotes from Itsuno, I seriously doubt he wanted to make DmC2 or has plans to immediately begin development on Dragon's Dogma 2, he just makes offhand comments and they become clickbait.

>>16229041

Are you using fraps or something to verify they're really framedrops? You might be running above 60 and just need to cap it, I had the same problem in DMC5 and also in REmake 2.

>>16229041

After V's first mission I was getting random stutter and frame drops. Now on my SoS playthrough the frame rate is tanking where it wasn't before.

I've been testing it with afterburner and even ran it in a fucking 480p window with all settings on low. Random drops to 30fps when loading new areas and enemies. Will drop at random parts of boss battles too.

Running a 970 and an i5 4570 which is pretty dated at this stage, but surely the drops shouldn't be THIS bad.

>>16229091

You are basically what I can point to and say "this is why the fanbase went downhill"

>>16229046

I've used the Steam overlay's framerate counter. I do get frame drops according to it, but it's noticed a difference when I change my frame limit between 60 and variable. I have Vsync on as well.

>>16229099

>fans want fan-service

what a fucking shocker

>>16228804

/v/ really is reddit as this point

>>16229107

This sounds like some classic Nocturama posting.

>>16229115

Isn't that a tripfag that was marketing for DmC back in the day? How does praising DMC3 for being the best in the series and rightfully comparing all later games to it make me like him?

>>16229107

>that doesn't change the fact that I would rather replay DMC4 levels complete with backtracking than slog through the eyesore of levels in 5 again.

>complete with backtracking

Never understood the complaints about backtracking specifically in 4, since 1 and 3 also had you backtrack through the map during the same part of the campaign. It's not the backtracking itself that makes it unbearable, it's that a beloved character was slapped on to the game and forced to trudge through the most boring missions possible.

>Hey Itsuno-san I have an idea, what if there was a mission where Dante fights literally nothing but chimeric enemies

>Great idea, we can put it right before the one filled with poison gas

>>16229099

I have to agree with the people in /vg/, if you're claiming to have S-ranked every mission on DMD after the game has been out for two and a half days, I'm going to need some screenshots, or I'm calling bullshit.

>>16229175

I wasn't really complaining about backtracking in 4, just simply stating that it would still be infinitely preferable. If you have to make someone backtrack, having nice looking environments and a fun character to play as softens the blow a lot. The repeat boss fights less so, but still.

>>16229175

Maybe stop sucking the dick of a mediocre game, fuck, I could post a picture saying I was the lead writer for the game and I purposefully made it suck shit and you'd somehow twist it to "The lead writer only ironically made it suck shit because it's DMC the best game series ever".

also as a side note

>game is 10 hours long if you look for secrets

>somehow things subsequent playthroughs where enemies are only slightly more aggressive but with more HP and damage will take longer than the base playthrough

>doesn't think my autism will propel me to play through a game specifically so I can say the series is dead beyond a shadow of a doubt but will continue because retards will keep buying it as long as it has fanservice.

>>16229190

Look you're never going to get anywhere with them, they've made their choice that DMCV is the best game.

>>16229216

Holy shit this is the same fag that was angry DMC 5 was bringing back recurring characters from the past games.

>>16229216

I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion, if anything I'm here trying to see if there is just something obvious I missed that will make this game click for me. Maybe a Turbo mode is what this game needs?

>>16229224

Different person, but sure just lump everyone together in your head. Surely only one person could possibly hate the perfection that is a half finished game.

>>16229234

Like are you actually asking? Short answer is because there's a lot of cut corners in the pacing of the story, and the characters in general. V's final boss is just 3 old bosses in a boss rush. Nero and Dante share the same final boss. The entire real plot and resolution is shoved entirely into the last couple of missions with no time given to anything to develop.

>>16229099

How about you point to a noose and fuck off.

>>16229234

Just ignore him. He's from /vg/ and they hate everything over there.

>>16229216

>I could post a picture saying I was the lead writer for the game and I purposefully made it suck shit and you'd somehow twist it to "The lead writer only ironically made it suck shit because it's DMC the best game series ever".

Alternatively, you could post a picture of a wall of S-ranks and I'd believe you. I'm giving you the opportunity to completely destroy this flippant dismissal of your opinion if you had the motivation to get off your ass and take a picture, and if you had played it on PC you wouldn't even have to stand up.

On the other hand, I don't see one post I've made that contains the phrase "best game ever" or anything remotely close to it, so I guess I could say the game is bad and you'd still assume I'm a rabid fanboy? Looks like we're at an impasse.

>>16229107

The levels 4 suck absolute ass what the fuck are you talking about. The docks sucked, the forest sucked, the ice castle sucked, the stupid puzzle castle at the end sucks ass too.

DMC4's levels were garbage.

>>16229271

I thought they were fine, but even if you think they are bad there is no way in hell you can tell me "organic demon tree" is any good, let alone "play it through the majority of the game" good.

>>16229226

>I'm here trying to see if there is just something obvious I missed that will make this game click for me.

Doubt it's something obvious, but anyone who's dug into DMC before should know that a first playthrough (or even the first three) only scratches the surface of the game. How many Devil Breakers did you experiment with?

>>16229256

>Who would Nero even fight?

I was expecting Mission 20 to take place at the Qliphoth's roots with Dante and Vergil fighting the final boss, because there wasn't a mission start screen I had assumed that Nero's fight was just a little bonus thing at the end of Mission 19. That said, my prediction would have resulted in fighting a boss that has never been shown or hinted at for the entire game, which would be quite strange.

>>16229280

It's way better than anything in 4. I don't see what the problem with the DMC5 levels is.

The only problem is that the game does end a bit abruptly, and the buildup from the final form fight to the true final boss is kinda halfassed. Level 20 should have been longer with Nero getting some kind of revelation in the end. He literally just runs up some stairs and is at the final boss. Other than Missions 19 and 20 though DMC5 is pretty good.

Nothing's gonna beat DMC3 with the Temen Ni Gru and it's dark atmosphere but DMC5 is a close second.

>>16229265

>awful pacing and incomplete characters don't make a game incomplete

>>16229256

A shitty series of final bosses is the easiest sign of an incomplete game. Or a very lazy dev, it's your choice. Nero could've fought Virgil, Dante could've ended his story right before Virgil gets revived, he gets revived, Nero sulks for his 5 minutes, maybe he fights the summons so there's like some character development about him wanting to not let his dad die other than a 15 second talk, then he runs in and stops Dante/Virgil from fighting. Boom easy way, both now have unique bosses, and it sort of makes sense rather than Virgil having cutscene regeneration so you can fight him again.

It's just small shit like this that absolutely murders the pacing of the game, and leaves it feeling incomplete.

>>16229302

So about that picture, anon. Dont leave us hanging. Unless you're actually playing the game now and trying to S rank it all to not look like an idiot.

Ok, so what's the actual judgement on the game after the hype and shills have gone? Visually the characters are really revolting, it's like uglier FF15 guys. And it's a given that DMC3 will still be considered superior.

>>16229359

6-7/10. Worse than most of the mainline, still better than 2/Reboot.

>>16229359

The honeymoon phase is still in effect, so it's going to be a while before more honest opinions show up.

>>16229359

The gameplay is fun. V is a toss up. Either you like him or you dont.

>>16229284

I used all of them except the Deluxe Edition hands (fork, vibrator, Buster) because I figured they are probably just joke weapons. I don't actually care much for Nero as a whole but he's preferable to V that's for sure.

For me, replaying a game should be a matter of loving the main course and going back for seconds. DMC3 absolutely pulled this off, it was so fantastic that going back for more could be done without hesitation. When I look at this game and need to decide if bumbling through V levels and demon tree land again is worth it, I have to look at the first impression, and it wasn't good.

>>16229297

I can tell they were terrified of letting the player wander off in the wrong direction and get lost, or run in circles by accident. Any deviation from the main path is laughably short, and they throw in a button that tells you where to go just in case you really are that brain dead and don't know which of the two directions you just came from. Even the most linear of linear levels can be acceptable if the environment is nice to look at, but DMC5 absolutely fails in that regard. I remember waiting for a platform to ride up a stream of blood and thinking to myself "what the hell am I even doing in this game, this feels like a waste of time." Same with the blood elevators too, just a cutscene that doesn't need to exist really.

In the early game you get a boss fight that shows off destructible environments, and later on there's a library that had books flying everywhere during a fight, which I thought was very nice. Stuff like that just disappears afterwards, and I find that very sad.

>>16229359

Nero - 9.5/10. Best Nero. Good variety with his arms, revving the sword is fun, good looking jacket.

V - 8/10, not enough poems.

Dante - 9/10, motorcycle swords and lethal cowboy hat.

Also the dudes from FF15 look about 400% gayer.

As with many others my main issue was level/environment design. I don't get why they can't keep making cool gothic cities/castles.

>>16229420

Yea, I'm really loving the game but that's my main complaint too is that the environments felt kinda bland and samey. Even though DMC3 took place almost entirely in Temin-ne-gru, it still felt more varied than the environment in 5. I was hoping we got to play around in the urban areas more.

Sort of a weird question, but I have always wondered why the dodging mechanic hasn't changed. I realize that the casuals would like a one button dodge, but the input isn't my issue. Why is it that you only have the option of rolling to the side, THEN using table hopper to angle yourself better? Why doesn't it work like a boxing slip where you can angle in after you dodge the blow? It just seems a but redundant to roll to the side then take a more advantageous position.

>>16229510

Just jump

>>16229400

Nero is a bit better than in 4, but even with the robot arm abilities his moveset is more of a side/bonus character compared to Dante. Which definitely does not help since he is used so much.

>>16229465

Yeah, the environments turned out to be yet another cityscape being taken over by some monstrous structure. The problem is that it looks exactly like every other game that does something similar, it's the most aggressively mediocre level design I've ever seen.

This doesn't feel like the series has been wrapped up at all, only the end of the Vergil arc.

>>16229543

At least the city looks like London, not america.

>>16229359

This fag and others like him are not looking to argue in good faith.

>>16229551

this is the exact posting style of the niggerpill spammer. now shilling for /vg/? hmmmm.

>>16229551

/vg/ is just a place for depressed people to shit on things.

>>16229545

Who was actually saying it was the final game?

>>16229545

This was never gonna be the final DMC game. They said it's the finale of the "Sons of Sparda" storyline that's been going since the first game. It's a finale, but not the finale. The Dante-Vergil rivalry is over now, they've reconciled and Nero now has a legit family.

I'm not really sure what direction DMC6 will go in plot-wise.

>>16229545

What would qualify as a "wrap-up" to the series for you? A Sparda prequel, or Dante's death?

>>16229546

Is that a dig at DMC3, DMC2, or DmC?

I always confused the city in DMC4 with Vigrid, anyway.

>>16229579

(You) haven't been making any arguments either. This is the only (you) I'm giving (you), please use it wisely.

>>16228019

playing it on son of sparda right now. Honestly the only difference between this and 4 is that it seems like jump cancelling is easier and the enemies hitboxes are bigger and your hurtboxes are bigger. That's about it or maybe I'm just imagining all of this and it's just the game playing tricks on my brain. Anybody hating on this game is a fucking idiot because all the previously laid out complaints were absolutely demolished by how well made this was. A game that's actually good is made in the current year also there is sex appeal and flash. It's like a 2002 game made in the current year.

>>16229545

It actually just seems like the vergil arc just started I have a feeling DMC 6 is going to be the final game. I kind of hope there is a final game tbh just because I want to be alive when this series wraps up.

>>16229510

Table hopper gives you style points. Otherwise it's pretty pointless as jump/air hike/etc. etc. etc. are usually better options. It's just Nero's method of having a dante esque trickster dash.

>>16229584

>Honestly the only difference between this and 4 is that it seems like jump cancelling is easier and the enemies hitboxes are bigger and your hurtboxes are bigger.

The physics are also completely different, with a much slower fall speed and apparently no inertia, or at least no inertia like there was in 4.

The hitboxes are strange, though, they're not consistently bigger. For some bosses like Artemis you have to be pretty close to jump-cancel, some enemies like Proto Angelo seem to have a large bubble around them where you can jump-cancel. Seriously, try jump-canceling Rainstorm on top of a fallen Proto Angelo in the Void, it's like you hover two feet above him.

>>16229568

>I'm not really sure what direction DMC6 will go in plot-wise.

If the game is successful, they will probably do the following; continue to push Nico in the spotlight, possibly making her a playable character that can keep up with Nero for some bullshit reason. They will push for Lady and Trish (making their faces even more "realistic") to have more screentime and playable missions along with Morrison calling the shots (who still shouldn't be black but is now). They will make Nero even more of a shonen protagonist by making him even more powerful due to a new foe somehow stronger than his new form (and also give into Nico's demands like she's the true boss of the group). They will tease Dante and Vergil returning and possibly be playable (as on-disk DLC along with more cut content that should be unlockable like this installment has). They will start censoring and pandering to SJWs and other faggots without worry now that they know they still have a loyal fanbase for this series that will eat anything Capcom gives them.

>>16229383

Anyone who hates V after playing this game is retarded. Yea he's the "easy mode" character but honestly I find Nero to be easier(devil trigger more useful than controlling nightmare)

"OMG HE EMO FAG OMG OMG"

Honestly out of all the things they are bitching about they are actually complaining that a character from a game named "Devil May Cry" has a character that looks like he's in a band called "Devil May Cry." Complain about things like Trish/Lady having a really small role in the game. Complain about the ambiguous weird ending that kind of leaves you with a "Well umm is there gonna be another are these niggas trapped what's going on here when does dante and vergils story end?" those are things to complain about.

>>16229302

You are going to complain how incomplete this is? Have you played 4? Do you like 4?

>>16229593

>, with a much slower fall speed and apparently no inertia, or at least no inertia like there was in 4.

Yea now I know what you are feeling I think the falling speed is WAY slower which is probably what makes jump cancelling pretty fucking easy now.

>>16229595

I disagree a bit I think the next game is going to be about Dante/Vergil with nero and co. being more side characters. I've always wanted a DMC game where vergil is actually a playable story character and not just an afterthought bonus playable character like he was in 3 and 4.

>>16229465

DMC world exploration was dead in 3 anyway(it's linear as fuck once you play through it once the tower might of confused you on your first playthrough but it's actually just a series of doors and objects and you just go from point a to b and then you never have to deal with being in that tower again really then it's just a fight to the finish)

4 pretty much completely eschewed exploration from the game anyway besides finding collectables(which you do in this one)

There honestly isn't and never has been anything cool to explore in a DMC game after the DMC3 formula was established.

>>16229618

Nice cuckchan copypasta:

http://archive.fo/9Kxky

>>16229635

AMA I've been here since the initial exodus and it's only been a couple years since the "reddit spacing" meme came into being and people started to complain about my post formats. Honestly though I just browse more /pol/ and I used to like going on /tv/ before it became a waifuist shitshow.

>>16229635

I just want Vergil. Why he isn't playable upon beating the game is retarded.

>>16229642

I don't really have any reason not to believe you so okay.

>>16229626

It's not really a complaint from me. The appeal of DMC has always been the deep, technical and fast-paced combat. The entire reason why the cool exploration was there in the first place was because DMC1 was supposed to be Resident Evil 4.

>>16229644

He likely was gonna be but he wasn't ready by the time the game was released, same with BP.

>>16229644

When I saw vergil "come to life" I actually thought I was going to unlock a vergil level in this game. I was very let down but whatever as this guy>>16229635 pointed out we are getting him and we might get some DLC levels(yup crapcom is going to make us pay for some shit I can GUARANTEE they are going to milk the absolute FUCK out of this and resident evil now that they know they can make money with these franchises again) BTW anyone know the sales figures for DMC5 is it a letdown? After playing it I can imagine it would be a "moderate success" deserving of more money than it's going to earn(RE always outsells everything anyway tbh)

>>16229626

3 has its little moments, though, like Mission 14(?) where the main path is a snooze but there are five optional mobs off the beaten path that are required to get the S-rank on style and orbs (on lower difficulties anyway), or Mission 15 where you can use the revolving doors to take completely different routes through the level instead of following the obvious path.

Not that I want the game to be Metroid or Resident Evil or anything but I could definitely understand how someone might miss that part of the game if it was excised completely. Take a game with light exploration and turn it into a linear series of enemy encounters and you're on a path to where the base game may as well just be the BP and nothing else, if it's going to be a sequence of battles in perfectly circular arenas anyway.

>>16229635

Did they datamine a Turbo mode as well or is the dream dead?

>>16229644

But anon! You already play as Vergil :^)

Wont know the sales figures until they announce it, I'm guessing probably 2 million copies by Monday, RE2:remake did around 3 million in Febuary in its 3 days post-release.

>>16229650

It does seem like they rushed this game out the door with the intention of adding more content(probably also working on new DMC game if this sells)

>>16229662

I understand the complaint but honestly I don't see it as big of an issue as games like Resident Evil 4/5(which I like but they are problem games tbh) where the exploration is completely cut off and it's point a to b with action in a series known for exploration and puzzle solving.

>>16229671

"I curse my stars in bitter grief and woe, that made my love so high and me, so low."

Honestly V came across as a pretty cool character to me. Being some fucking thing that was launched out of vergils subconscious, being a weak raggedy guy who is physically weak in comparison to the 2 chads he's hiring. V is actually pretty cool tbh he just has his own style and doesn't come off like a fag(like everyone thought he was going to be) he actually comes across as more human than every other character in the game. I don't understand the ritual exactly or what V even is but I don't think he's just "Vergils weak human side" maybe he's just what a fragmented aspect of Vergils soul(Vergil always goes on and on about strength vs. weakness maybe because he feels weak compared to dante)

>>16229687

I hope all the newer fans just get with it and don't fuck things up(complaining about the "toxic masculinity" in the game complaining about xyz etc.) this could end badly because I feel the story they told in this DMC game was probably one of the most well written in the series history.

>>16229685

Much like how Yamato separated the Demon World from the Human World, Vergil separated his Demon Side (Urizen) and his Human Side (V). Honestly V is such a well done character not just by how he is, but also how he relates to Vergil. You can understand Vergil's motivation for wanting more power by what V said and how he acts in game.

>>16229693

NuFans had 6 years of DmC to fuck things up, and that was a flop, so I think were are in the clear.

>>16229699

The poetry has meaning if you really look into most of his quotes besides the ones where he's basically just poetically telling a boss to go fuck off.

>>16229709

Which file was this?

>>16229703

I think the reason they even allowed something as good as DMC 5 to come out is because Street Fighter™© V: Ultimate Arcade Championship Turbo Edition® is a mountain of shit that milked all the money from the normalfags with it's business practices. And even then, they had to make muh photo realistic artstyle. Fucking cunts.

>>16229730

I really miss PS2 graphics.

>>16229726

What's crazy is how low the standards for SF have actually fallen in comparison to everything else capcom has put out. I just want to know wtf is going on over there and who was the asshole that ruined the game by adding crush counters and v trigger?

>>16229732

It's also early PS2 so it still had that "empty creepy lonely dark" sensation you get from ps1 one but with upgraded GWAPHIX.

>>16229726

Nah, SFV took like four years to reach what they expected to sell in the initial launch window. If anything funded DMC5 it was MHW.

>>16229733

The shareholders. Losing produces badfeel + badfeel makes people quit = need to reduce badfeel by increasing randomness.

>>16229703

>>16229726

>>16229733

Besides a hypothetical Dragon's Dogma 2, Itsuno has stated that he would love to make a Project Justice/Rivals School game where they graduate. I'd be down for either of those games to be his next project if not giving him SF6 featuring a bunch of Rival Schools characters.

>>16229740

I've never played Rival Schools but there was this one guy in CVS2 that was a rival schools character and he was pretty fucking RAD BRO.

>>16229739

But the randomness increases badfeels because of losing due to random. Then you doubt your own victories as they could be just as fraudulent leading me to see it as a zero sum game. I probably shouldn't use low tier god as the gold standard but when he said "Whenever I play SF5 I feel like I've never taken more L's in my life in any fighting game for absolutely no fucking reason" it actually resonated with me due to the nature of the game. They try to add hard zoning characters like sagat and if you are meticulous enough you can play that way and lame people out all the way to platinum(my friend did this). The game is just so fucked up on every conceivable level I bet the pros just care about placing in tourneys I doubt they really care about trying to win because it's more like you are playing against a character not a player(because footsies are like not fucking existent in this game so it's really hard to punish people who just spam the same fucking blockstrings over and over again)

to clarify when I play SF5 it literally just seems like. "Get in or knockdown, meaty setup with mixup or grab, OVER AND OVER AGAIN" I can't remember the last time I've seen real whiff punishes then again I haven't played that fucking game in a year anyway.

>>16229758

>But the randomness increases badfeels because of losing due to random. Then you doubt your own victories as they could be just as fraudulent leading me to see it as a zero sum game.

Only if you're good enough at the game to understand that. Good fighting game players are rare and difficult to please, bad fighting game players are everywhere; and at the end of the day a season pass sold is a season pass sold.

>>16228652

How is the V guy a model? V is ugly as shit even I look better than that guy. V's face is basically the archetypal "Hapa male beta"

>>16229774

Model doesnt need to mean good looking, theres lot of famous ugly models

>>16229769

I'm technically a terrible fighting game player because I can only into Gold in SF5 most of my friends are platinum or higher but tbh I've always been better at 3d fighters anyway which my friends refuse to learn or play(muh inputs even though it's fucking easier than sf4…… Tekken's only problem with movement is the korean dashing but that's not existent in soul calibur and my friends are still on "Omg too many moves wtf") I think the thing is that 2d fighting players like to have everything be really fast and responsive whilst 3d games are a little more cerebral and slowed down and the spacing fucks up their heads when they keep getting all of their mids and verticals attacks dodged and punished.

>>16229572

Sparda sequel resulting in Dante's death, and playing as virgil to kill spardamundus

>>16229779

I'm just starting to think that modelling=I sucked a jewish guys dick. I see way too many people that are better looking than "models" on a daily basis.

>>16229798

Have you considered that most attractive people are probably secure in their looks and don't desire to be models, but people who are very insecure in how they look are desperate to be models and told that they look good.

>>16229807

esp after they suck dicks, trading need for need

>>16229807

I haven't really considered any of the above I think modelling is just something people try out. I knew a girl(9/10) who tried "modelling" and eventually they just stopped talking to her. I think she was in a "pool" and maybe the people in charge of this "model pool" thought her morality was too strong to be a willing cockslave for jews. There are probably private meetings where they ask you "how far are you willing to go for this etc." and whatnot I have no fucking idea what goes on in the modelling biz.

>>16229621

The Vergil and Nero thing would be more important/interesting if they actually interacted prior to this game.

>>16229685

V is Vergil's inner dork, which happens to be his human side. Vergil always perceived humanity as weak and sought demonic means to get more power. Urizen is pure demon and solely obsessed with getting more demonic power, while his human side had other concerns like poetry, and more intellectual pursuits but looks like the type of person who got bullied a lot given the bit about him writing his name in books so that Dante wouldn't take them, I imagine that is somewhat the case. I'm pretty sure if Vergil tried that shit with Dante the result would be a lot more balanced because Dante doesn't have the same kind of issues that Vergil does.

>>16229807

>>16229798

>>16229813

I think populations have grown so large that attractiveness is no longer as rare as it was and has become somewhat oversaturated especially with post-processing making it more accessible so modeling agencies have shifted over to rarer things like strikingness. The fact that these are more relative and so easier to manipulate by insiders in order to push people they prefer for reasons like sexual favors, etc is mere coincidence.

>>16229758

From what I played on an emulator, it was a pretty fun game. My only hangup with any future Capcom sequels is the art department.

>>16229830

What about the damn gameplay? Sf5 at surface glance LOOKS like it plays like a SF game but when you start playing it you realize oh shit… wtf is this…. It's nothing like 4. NOTHING. Nothing like 3 or 2 even . Whilst yes 4 was a gigantic departure from what we were used to when it came to SF it still felt like SF but with so much more creativity in the manner that you can play. 5 is literally just "Input dialup blockstring with bison that takes like 5 seconds off the clock whilst you are getting meter then if you don't get a hit DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!"

I want V to shove his cane inside of my penis hole

>>16229838

BUT ANON, THE GWAFIX AND THE ANIMATIONS LOOK GOOD!!!

>DMC6 is neros story amd at the end dante comes back from hell and says he and vergil need help fighting mundus again.

>Whilst back Dante knocks up Lucia in a released novel that takes place between 6 and 7.

>Dmc 7 starts and Nero, Dante, Vergil, Trish, Lady, Nico and Lucia all fight against the forces of hell.

It ends with Vergil severing the connection between realms. Dante stays behind with him. They compete with each other by seeing who can kill the most demons since they are now evenly matched.

>DMC 8 Nero trains Dantes daughter Beatrice, or whatever the fuck you want to call her, so she can continue the family business with him.

>>16229865

>passing the torch to wahmen

Dont like it

>>16229838

I was referring to Itsuno and his team taking charge of any future game since they didn't fuck up the latest DMC as much as Dead Rising or Street Fighter. I heard RE2's remake wasn't too awful outside of the aesthetics either, but they had also cut some content out apparently.

>>16229865

As long as this Beato is a loli and cute enough to beat off to.

>>16229865

fuck's sake, anon, that's exactly what I was thinking regarding a sequel

>>16229910

Is this legit? Damn I guess he must be coming with Bloody Palace then. Lady playable when though

>>16229932

That will be $19.99. Pay up for that unlock code goy.

>>16229868

I went with the name mostly because its from Dantes inferno and Lucia and Lady are basically his only love interests

>>16229944

If you don't think he's also been with Trish you might want to think again.

>>16229865

>DMC 8 Nero trains Dantes daughter Beatrice

Trish is already the series' equivalent to Beatrice from the Divine Comedy.

>>16229910

Is that actual a playable Vergil with his full moveset or a mod of the boss version with only the moves that he uses in his fight.

>>16229928

Hivemind fam

>>16229950

>Is that actual a playable Vergil with his full moveset or a mod of the boss version with only the moves that he uses in his fight.

He doesn't do any air attacks in the boss fight.

>>16229950

I would say Lady is closer to that.

>>16229873

I pwedicted thith

>>16229865

I've always wanted dante to have a walk off into the sunset shit like in 4. He's even got the cowboy hat now.

>>16229937

>Already confirmed that Bloody Palace will be free

Stop making shit up just to placate your ego anon. We get you don't like the game now fuck off.

>>16229942

>>both of the vergil fights being much easier versions of the DMC3 fight

Yea I really felt this too. When vergil was fully formed yea he's got a couple moves that can absolutely make your life a fucking nightmare he's real dumb but obviously I haven't played harder difficulties than devil hunter and I'm on son of sparda right now. I guarantee it's just like every DMC game where the difficulty increases and the enemies are more prone to do crazy shit and have higher HP.

If they would just argue in good faith, the haters wouldn't even be an issue.

>>16229973

They won't though. Their issue is severe autism.

>>16229973

To further expand I understand why people would not like RE2 and say "It's not RE" but this…. How is this not DMC??? It's more complete than 4 and almost as good as 3.

Just imagine what RE4 would have been like if they kept Tony Redgrave as the protagonist.

A genetically altered weskerchild who uses guns and a sword.

>>16229976

They're not here to argue, they're just here to shit on something.

>>16229997

Why is Dante holding mountain dew?

Are you Bob videogames?

>>16230012

*monster

fuck

>>16229997

>My gripes about it though is that even though the tree levels were fun

All the levels were good but I agree that the tree levels have bad aesthetic design like I'm playing the shitty looking hades levels in god of war 3.

>who nero mom nigga??

Also I would like to add that vergil did say "That's a story for another day" although yea that would be nice to know what that was all about.

>since Nero's DT is so stupid fucking strong and has angelic like features she must have been a legitimate fucking angel

I legit thought for a second that when that Devil Trigger nero appeared for the first time(you don't know who or what it is at first) I thought it was Dante/Vergil's mom and she was going to scream and beat the fuck out of them.

>>16230012

Because he's a true boomer

>>16229937

They already said that there won't be any DLC besides bloody palace and that will be free.

>>16230021

For some reason I think they are lying can't trust capcops.

>>16230026

Seeing as how well it's selling, it'll probably get an SE or GOTY edition in a year or two.

>>16230030

For some reason I think we will see DMC6 quicker than expected. I think they are just going to keep cranking shit out of the RE engine until every last drop is squeezed from that fruit.

>>16230018

>I thought it was Dante/Vergil's mom and she was going to scream and beat the fuck out of them.

What the fuck anon? Kek.

Does anyone know how Style Points are calculated? No matter how many enemies there are in the mob or how long the fight goes on, I still get roughly the same number of points per fight, so it can't be the same way DMC4 does it which was literally X number of points per hit.

>>16230030

If the Next Console Gen is announced soon then a DMC5SE will definitely be on it, just like with DMC4SE it could have Legendary Dark Kight mode and Turbo mode. (Even tho both of those were already on the PC version of Vanilla DMC4)

>>16230018

>since Nero's DT is so stupid fucking strong and has angelic like features she must have been a legitimate fucking angel

It's already been stated that there is no heaven or angels in DMC there is only the Human world and Hell

Nero's DT is Angelic sure, but it's no different then Credo's or Lucia's DT's being Angel themed.

>>16230041

IDK I thought I saw long flowing blonde hair and she was going to break up the fight, but it was nero. Also they kept referencing things about v like "He's not a demon….weird" etc. or how some of the creatures aren't demons etc. I thought Dante's mom was going to come back for some reason and they gave us that cinematic of dante hiding in the closet.

>>16230048

I didn't say that the other guy said "Angelic." I know that heaven isn't referenced in any DMC except in the DOnte universe where his mom is an angel(HAH GAY!!!!)

>>16230021

>>16229967

My bad, I am just so jaded with modern gaming that I automatically assumed they would charge for it.

Would like to say that the taunts in this game are pretty fucking cool also. I like how nero keeps his hood up after putting it on also V's symphonies like when he orchestrates Ride of the Valkyries whilst you are going super stylish on these niggas is pretty cool.

>>16230051

my bad i meant to tag him instead sorry

>>16230018

>Because he's a true boomer

Stop posting bob I know it's you

>>16227981

I finished the fight with a grab that smashed Vergil and his clone's head together.

was best end to fight

>>16229699

>>16229685

>>16229818

Even if I didn't like playing as V, the character himself seemed pretty good. What I want to know is why him and Vergil were falling apart, I'm not entirely up to speed on every little detail of the franchise so I must have missed the reason for it. I'd also like an explanation as to why separation and then re-unification cures that problem.

>>16229761

>In general I think /v/ needs a lesson in phenotypes.

To do what? Complain about pixels and polygons on a screen that aren't 100% white?

so is this game any good or what

>>16230111

They reunified after Urizen received a power boost from the demon fruit so that might explain the latter. The former is because I think being beaten by Dante after having been enslaved by Mundus did a number on his body but considering how it takes place years after 1 makes it anyone's guess as to he didn't just die in Mallet Island besides wanting him back. Deteriorating as V is probably because they were never meant to be split in the first place.

BIG GIANT ANIME TITTIES

>>16230109

His clone or his stand?

>>16230134

Yeah I mean DmC is basicly impossible to lose at, it's so casualised.

DMC5 has the prologue and mission 8 bosses so hard you mean to lose at them for the story to proceed, BUT if your good enough you can beat them any way and get a joke ending.

These aren't anything alike.

>>16229997

>And we STILL never seen a single fucking hit of Sparda yet, I guess they're saving that for DMC6

I was under the impression from previous games that the Devil Sword Sparda wasn't just a sword named Sparda but was actually Sparda himself, but now we have the Devil Sword Dante and it's clearly not Dante himself so I guess that opens him up to still being around somewhere.

>>16230126

>>16230129

Ah yeah that makes sense I guess, thanks.

>>16227960

>can't even direct link

no fan of /vg/ but wew

>>16228244

>defending ugly Capcom designs

still leftover refugees from thqnordic incident I see

Uncanny designs are not okay just because the franchise you like did it. No one would be defending some of purposeful "modern" take of the character designs here if this game was made by a western studio and you know it. That what makes this even more frustrating is the obvious blind eye people are turning because you can't criticize DMC or you are a butthurt DmC journo.

>>16229359

Right now normalfags are saying it's the best one, but it is honeymoon, and we saw how the honeymoon took effect during Monster Hunter World.

I would imagine most will agree it's at least better then DMC4. DMC3 and DMC5 will be argued back and forth of which is the best.

I just remembered that when you first start fighting Virgil as Dante, Dante asks "You cut off your son's arm for this?" to which Virgil replies "My son means nothing to me!" and then in the next cutscene Vergil is surprised to learn that Nero is is son. What the hell is up with that?

>>16230168

>>16228397

I've only remembered anons use that feature about once or twice in the 5 years i've been here and by now i've forgotten what anons typed to do it.

Couldn't be bothered embarrassing myself trying to direct link since posting a URL practically does the exact same thing anyways.

>>16230180

Y-you got me good anon.

Hey everyone!

DMC5 is now DmC2 again, no mistaking it! Aside from the actual gameplay, characters, themes and story theres no mistaking that anymore!

>>16230188

There's always >>>/test/ where you can embarrass yourself to your heart's content before posting here or anywhere else.

>>16230182

I think it's more like Vergil wasn't thinking about the fact he had a son too hard, until the fight was almost over, and then it Clicked in his head

>wait a minute, when and who did I fuck again?

"Well, well… That was along time ago"

>>16230188

>by now i've forgotten what anons typed to do it.

8chan's cross-board post linking is literally the same as it was on 4chan, except years ago 4chan changed it so that pasting a full URL would just chop it down into the correct format for you automatically, leading to every new user since then having no idea how to type what is exactly in front of them with no special characters or formatting required.

>>>/vg/56536 exactly as you see it is how you enter it.

>>16230182

Vergil realizing he has a son

>>16230202

You'd think he would say "Nero is my son?" after the arm cut off comment, and then in the cutscene after he would say "he means nothing to me." The other way around sounds stupid.

>>16230205

I think it was a "I DON'T GIVE A SH-Wait, what'd you say?" moment.

>>16230208

I'm going to go ahead and blame the translation from Japanese for this.

>>16230200

>>wait a minute, when and who did I fuck again?

Come to think of it, one of the DMC4 cutscenes is Vergil walking around Fortuna City "decades ago" which ends with some cloaked woman staring at him as he walks by. That must be Nero's mother.

>>16230198

he didn't get a haircut though that was just nero and it made people including myself question the quality of this game(radical art redesigns usually superscede radical gameplay redesign) with satisfaction I can say that I got the game I expected and am still thoroughly enjoying it.

>>16230228

They fixed that just gonna let you know

>>16230180

To be fair if concept donte was as RADICAL as they made him out to be(killing people putting a cigarette out on a dog) it would of been comically hilarious in a metal gear revengeance type of way.

But it was gay.

Even Dante knows

Micheal Jackson is Innocent, and is now being defamed after death by kikes

>>16230251

I'm waiting on Matt Walker damage controlling when one of the kike media asks him about it.

>>16230251

I don't know about innocent I mean he probably did have sex with kids but I think the parents consented and also used michael as a vehicle for their own fame. It's just a mess I don't want to start jacko posting though. To be fair the media has always blown jacko out of proportion and slandered the fuck out of him for years and years and now they are at it again for no apparent reason(they know michael jackson hated jews and collected adolf hitler memorabilia even citing hitler as the greatest performance artist of all time)

Also note that when you watch alot of michael jackson shit what colors do you see alot? RED BLACK AND WHITE plus officer uniforms etc. all over the fucking place. He worships the swastika.

>>16230168

Defending against what? Fuck off back to /vg/ you dumb cocksucker.

>>16230286

Scratch that, Matt Walker is calling Dante's Faust hat time the "Cowboy Dance" in one interview, very sneaky of him.

>>16230286

Some of the theories I have heard involve him being incapable of sex also though(rumor has it that Joe Jackson had him chemically castrated when he started growing too big)

Really though the whole Michael Jackson thing is just a really really fucking sad story. When are they going to make the Michael Jackson walking sim game though???

>>16230286

To sum up the whole MJ thing, the man didn't like jews and made it pretty obvious, also had rights to an absolutely massive and extremely profitable music catalog. Sony wanted said music catalog. He had a very hard life and became weird for it, normalfags are pre-conditioned to hate weird. So the jews inside and outside Sony decided to ruin him so they could both buy the music catalog super cheap and discredit him before he said anything bad about the jews. What's the best way to ruin someone? Accuse him of diddling. Of course, there was no evidence, weak or solid, but a good number of normalfags bought the story since "MJ was like weird dude".

>>16230241

and thus gamergate 3.0 was started by DMC5 weapon Faust

>>16230317

OH GAWD THE TOXIC MASCULINITY OF JACKO OY FUCKING VEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!Michael Jacksonesque toxic masculinity?

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA

"The Archangel Michael in Dante's Inferno" THE GAME

>>16230286

I used to really enjoy Razorfist. He got my YT channel hammered because I called him out on a freudian slip.

lost videos of me and my girlfriend who passed away from disease a few years prior that were privately uploaded, just us farting around.

Gone forever

>>16230327

Imagine style switching whilst shuffling around. I actually had a dream in which dante had a weapon that let him do a melbourne shuffle with attacks. How about a CURAZEEEE GAME with old school pop stars.

>>16230327

developed by platinum

>>16230339

If Michael was still alive he would greenlight it. After the jews screwed him out of hollywood he would definitely go vidya(he fucking loved videogames anyway)

How much of a casual am I for needing 3 golden orbs to beat Virgil as Dante?

>>16230361

Depends on how badly you wanted to win after fucking up and getting hit by his one touch death attack when he's in devil trigger.

>>16230362

I never got hit by it but I just couldn't navigate out of his judgement cut spam over and over. At close range I don't know how fast I needed to trickster my way out of that.

>>16230366

You can dodge literally everything he does by jumping to the side.

>>16230361

Depends on your difficulty.

Is anyone else weirded out by the jumps of difficulty this game has in between the difficulty levels? I'm finishing up the game on SoS and Vergil is tanning my ass way harder than he ever did on normal mode.

>>16230372

Devil hunter or whatever the non easy you get from the get go.

>>16230368

Tried that, third cut would always get me if I didn't trickster out of its path.

>>16230373

I'll experience that once I rest a little. Please be gentle DMC5.

>>16230373

DMC4 and 5 made normal way too easy compared to hard or DMD, but the last boss has always been a difficulty spike in DMC games.

>>16230396

Isn't it basically pointless to buy off a third party site since it's probably stolen codes and the devs won't see a penny from the sale? Also it blows my mind how much they messed with Lady's appearance and the ugliness of Nico. There better be mods that fix it soon.

>>16230396

>Goliath

I used a Gerbera and it makes that fight so incredibly easy since most of his punches are low to the ground or have a huge windup.

>>16230398

There's a bunch of mods to un-fuck claire's face in RE2, so it's entirely possible.

Be thankful Itsuno didn't go with his original concept meaning V was going to be the protagonist and likely the only playable character.

>>16230410

V wasn't that bad. He was really barebones to start with but after fully upgrading Shadow it's pretty fun.

>>16230421

The main problem with V is Shadow sometimes being retarded and spawning in a weird place when you summon him to attack and you getting the forward attack instead of the launcher because he decided to turn around randomly, but you can reset his position to yourself by dodging.

>>16230426

It's a bit of a Nightmare trying to use Shadow against multiple enemies I found. I just got into SoS, how do I turn off these fucking Nico cards?

>>16230389

You're aus right? Why are games so much more expensive there?

>>16230449

I don't get the reference

>>16230458

>but /v/ is beyond saving

but you're bringing the /v/ to us

>>16230456

Because 10% sale tax and it's expensive to upload data to our servers or something. Fuck knows.

>reference

The conspiracy theory that semetic vampires are diddlying kids under pizza joints.

>>16230412

I bought it off Fanatical which claims ti have official relationships with publishers to sell the games at a discount. Good enough for me.

>>16230520

claims to*

>>16230527

What would Vergil and Nero even bond over? It feels like Vergil would akwardly ask him about William Blake only to get a blank stare.

Shit what are Nero's hobbies even? Listening to his girlfriends hymns?
