Devil May Cry 5 |OT| It's been 11 years since we last met. Where does the time go? [Now on Xbox Gamepass]
- Thread starter Dahbomb
- Start date
Skip 2 for sure.
DmC is solid overall and worth playing but keep in mind that it was made by a European studio with specific instructions from Capcom to make it different from the original series. Trying to appeal more to the western audience basically.
Priority in terms of quality:
DMC3
DMC4 (choose automatic off, play on devil hunter, and turn Turbo mode on in the options) - the last third of this game is flawed though. Dumb puzzles, and backtracking.
DmC
and you should be good. DMC2 is not good and adds nothing to the franchise. And you already played DMC1
R1+Back+Triangle
Make sure you are not playing on auto assist.
Also, in general - check out the skill list in the options menu. Far more easier and quicker to get answers there.
Been putting the Dempsey roll to work and it's turning into one of my fave dodges in any action game.
-Cancels into itself infinitely(?), so you can keep a (complete?) window of invincibility going as long as you want (with a super satisfying just frame slow-mo)
-Seems to work well in tandem with Trickster dodge (making it look like Dante is doing a double dash/dodge) and Air/Ground Trick and also with Royal Guard (kinda like you could parry cancel the dodge roll in DMC3).
-The spot dodge version acts like an option select. Since you jab and then hold the button for the spot Dempsey, the jab acts as a parry and if it whiffs (or an attack can't be parried) then Dante immediately goes into the spot dodge Dempsey (which has full body invincibility and can be further canceled into the side version etc.). So you either get a parry with the jab or a dodge if the jab fails.
-You get a high impact parry if you clash with an enemy attack using a Dempsey roll punch, seems to generate stun/dizzy (unlike a normal parry with another weapon).
The animation just looks so satisfying and you basically keep circling/dodging the enemy while quickly punching them into a dizzy. So good.

Christmas present to all, Vergil mod for DMC5 has been fixed more so he's sort of playable now! Kudos to someone fixing something's with Vergil, might need to try this mod now..
"Hmm, Devil Sword Dante is cool and all, but I miss Prop/Shredder and Aerial Rave..."
*goes to The Void, sees the former are integrated into a third sword combo*
"Oh..."
*plays some more and sees switching to Swordmaster isn't necessary anymore for Aerial Rave, allowing any style to use it*
"OHHH..." :)

Wait till you see the rest of what it can do.
DSD is amazing.
That's the moment where I went from "BOY RE2 and DMC5 are neck in neck for my GOTY" to "DMC5 IS GOAT"
Next time you're in SIN DT, press Shoot Button + Melee Button at the same time. This isn't a move you purchase or upgrade, so a lot of people don't know you can do it.
In fact, I think you should check out the skill list (in pause menu) for Devil Sword Dante and SIn DT
It has been quite fun to see.
Found out about that Sin DT move after looking it up while in the Void. Wish I knew about it while playing the mission, would've given it a try during that boss fight. Plenty of time to enjoy all of this new stuff on replays of course, though.
So I can just do old missions to grind for red orbs and upgrade shit forever?

So I never knew Dante's DT form had a rendered penis. But that's penis right? Or am I just seeing things?

Oh my gawd, I'm dying over here! XDDSo I never knew Dante's DT form had a rendered penis. But that's penis right? Or am I just seeing things?
Well, it has to go somewhere, hasn't it? Dante has already trouble containing his little devil in human form.
Brb, checking on Vergil. You know... for science...
I absolutely can't wait for Itsuno's next project, no doubt its going to be fantastic whether it be another DMC, Dragons Dogma, or something new (or, you know Capcom Vs SNK 3 in my own dream world)
Whelp, I can't unsee it.So I never knew Dante's DT form had a rendered penis. But that's penis right? Or am I just seeing things?
Hope he's working on DMC5:SE, but most likely is Dragon's Dogma 2. Either way, Itsuno deserves to work on his dream project so I hope he gets to work on DD2 and possibly supervise DMC5:SE at the same time.
Glad to see him happy.
Him already working on his next project is such a great change compared to what happened after Dragon's Dogma.
EDIT: Happy new year people!

Max Dood would lose his shit if Itsuno returned to fighting games.
Who cares about Max losing his shit lol.
It would be such a great thing to see someone who went on to make some of the greatest action games of all time to return to the genre where he spent most of his early years and to see what he can bring to it now.

You catch wind of DMC3 Switch having a good chance of a style switch addition? Hopefully that's enough to breath new life into DMC3.
Quick and dirty screenshot cut
Third Lucia card in the game
Teppen still crashes once every few matches on my iphone.
They really need to put out a PC / Steam version. it would also help with getting higher twitch streams.
Cleared my first run through the game tonight, best one since DMC3 (arguably better given how much annoyances pertaining to level design and backtracking are at the lowest they've ever been). I wouldn't know for certain, but I'm under the impression that Buster Arm Devil Breakers no longer serve a purpose by this point.
They are one of the best breakers.
Go to the void and compare the Buster breaker's damage output to the bringer grab.
Normal Buster breaker grab = 2x the damage of a bringer grab
Buster breakage = 20x the damage of a bringer grab
The breakage pretty much kills any non-boss enemy in the game, even on DMD. And does a lot of damage on bosses.
Also, the Buster Breaker allows you to use grabs while using the bringer's Aegis to hold up enemies as a shield.
You had me at the thumbnail. @o@
Sure, it looks off here and there (and they could have lighten up his hair, while they were at it. I don't like this dull grey), but damn..! Reminds me of how much I'd really love DMC3 costumes for ma twins.
Yeah, the Buster Arm full-charge attack can one hit kill any non-boss enemy even with they are in devil trigger mode.
Kind of a random thought/question for those that have dug into every single nuance of the game, but did the developers make the enemy AI more exploitable by giving the player full camera control since they aren't supposed to attack off camera?
OP
OP
Has been a feature of action games since like Ninja Gaiden. This is so that enemies don't attack you from off screen which can feel unfair or bull shit to the average player. DMC1 was notorious for off screen attacks because of its fixed camera.
However, developers should at least have enemies try to get within the camera range and then attack.. many DMC5 enemies don't even want to do that much.
I do recall feeling like 3&4's enemies tried a bit more in that regard. Isolating an enemy felt more like a temporary strategy where as in 5 I feel like I can drain down a whole health bar if I get an enemy in a corner.
I think the issue is that 5 has more enemies whose movement is tied to their attacks, like the Chaos.
