Devil May Cry 5 |OT| It's been 11 years since we last met. Where does the time go? [Now on Xbox Gamepass]

For anyone wanting to learn V properly:
Go to DMD Mission 14. Fight the boss rush without using any Revives (Checkpoint instead). I'm learning SO much from these fights and starting out with Goliath vs Shadow really makes it easy to get a feel for how to dodge not only with V but also with Shadow. Once I got the timing of his attacks down I stopped keeping away with V and started running behind him and using Enemy Step in order to maintain a good position, which opened Shadow up to a lot more offense. I still recommend dodging stuff with Shadow first for practice though, it's very useful.
I went Cavalier with Nightmare + Shadow second since Nightmare has that huge teleport laser beam to chase down Cavaliere while he's powering up, but presumably Griffon would net you more practice since he dies so easily in this fight. Shadow can parry his attacks decently well, so go for that if you feel you've got the timing down. Artemis is by far the toughest for me because the attacks are just hard to dodge with V himself. Siderolling with Shadow proved much more useful than double jumping with Griffon, so there's that. The pets don't seem to get hurt too much in this fight, so you can probably go all-out offense while keeping V safe here.
Three completely different encounters that require you to learn three different aspects of V's gameplay. Genius design, shame it's locked behind DMD and people not spamming Revives (which should be disabled on DMD to begin with, come on Capcom.)

Nero's
is the greatest and hypest thing in all videogame history
FUCK YOU with the Devil Trigger remix starting as he transforms during the last fight
The multiple nidhoggs?
This game keeps matching me with this "Vergil's Ass" guy when I play Mission 2 lol.
Is it just loading a replay of some sort? Bit strange if were always coincidentally playing the same mission at the same time.
I matched with myself before, must be ghost data.
What game is that? D:Not trying to to too off topic but seeing this is so cool.
guys this might be looking into things too much but Bloody Palace is released April Fools

is Capcom that clever?

I hated how frequently Donte swore in DmC, but this particular instance was absolutely perfect.
Yea like 4 bodies?
edit: Seems its just a phase the comes out way too late, i've skipped it every single time!

It is a rather perfect example of "less is more." While Nero has a sharp tongue, he doesn't rely on profanity very often, so the raw language there is that much more effective.
Even better is when the vocals kick in once you
buster him and smash his doppelganger into him
Yeah, like he says "fucking" every so often, but it's casual and feels more real, so when he YELLS it it has meaning behind it. Vs. Donte just throwing swears around like a kid who just saw South Park for the first time.
Only in battle. Moving forward to the next fight to recharge made the secret area inaccessible so I had to start over.
The lighting is amazing. Too bad the second half is mostly samey as far as textures and structures go
Nope. The book only functions in combat. I ran into the same issue as the other poster and tried to do the poetry thing to recharge my DT and it only charges when enemies are around.
Yeah I only saw it on DMD but I felt like I was going super slow for it to happen. Was definitely a wtf moment though lol.
WHAT THE FUCK
THIS IS SO COOL!
This is like Flexile Sentry all over again, with that awesome water mechanic that no one saw in the vanilla game because the boss dies too quickly.
Great idea to have a clip with a bunch of different breakers! Nice one.
I love Tomboy's animations. <3
Beat this last night. Awesome game! I'm glad I played through the first four in anticipation for this. Really lived up to the hype! The graphics were amazing; gameplay was fun and varied. Characters were well realized (Nero's the best!) and this was probably the best story in the series along with 3. The ONLY gripe I had was some of the story aspects in the second half of the game that I wasn't too crazy about--but overall it was great. Easy 9.5 out of 10 from me.
So beat the game finally. Incredible game I think easily takes the crown for best in the franchise but I am pretty let down by how poorly Trish and Lady were used. Shit at least for all my disappointment with Kari in Kingdom Hearts 3 she at least got to do SOMETHING.
haha good luck, took me 7-8 trys on Devil Hunter to S rank mission 8, was close to giving up :/
I think it might be a bug, le dialogue happened again and it was awkward...I prepped for them and it just kinda paused. https://youtu.be/RhlOb_s4UGE?t=280
Was fun doing this atleast, didnt get no damage cause of some random ass splash damage which doesnt even lower style rank. Fuck this game.
One thing I'm kind of really enjoying is how much Nero says fuck and swears and nobody is saying a thing about it but when DmC was out Dante saying "fuck" was a big point of contention used to try to discredit how childish he was as a character. Where all you at now? Lol.
I think Neros sounds more natural. DmCs seemed super forced. There was literally a scene which was just Dante and the Boos saying "Fuck you" like 5 times.
This is a pretty weak gotcha since this is discussed literally on this very page. There are major differences in the way and context of DmC Dante's and Nero's swearing.
Just because they both use the same word doesn't mean they are on the same level.
here's the difference: nero's cool nyeeeaaaaahhhhh
(I think dante still doesn't swear right?)
dMc donte was this weird Dante Nero hybrid but he wasn't as cool as either.
Swearing works with Nero because his whole deal is he's a hothead. All his animations sell his aggression so it fits.
Btw his last boss one liner surprised me so much I had to pause to laugh at it. So awesome

So, not sure if your still having issues, but I got S rank on mission 8. So best I can understand is the way style points work is every enemy you fight (optional or not) affects your level style bonus average. And if you choose to ignore the first clump of weak enemies at the beginning of the level and go on to S-SSS rank the first mandatory fight right after you'll get around 4K+ style bonus. If you take on the enemies in the beginning and get a weak style bonus from them (2K for around a A rank in style) you'll exit the first required fight with around 3.5K style etc. I find using exceed moves, taunting and devil arm grab attacks super useful to build style in this level, once you get the pace down you can really dominate but it might be worth avoiding some of the optional fights to keep that style average up. I went into Urizen with around 4.7K style and after an ok run against him I sailed past the S rank requirement.
And on a more general note, damn does this game feel so good when all the pieces of combat come together perfectly. I legit can't remember the last game that felt this good to play combat wise. Capcom's outdone themselves this time.
Happened to me too. Never got rated although I rate every time. I take this as a sign to beat the game without gold orbs.
Pretty sure he gives a "Holy Shit" when he gets to his house.

The levels, the characterizations, the voice acting ( other than Nero). Incredibly uninspired level design, and once you get Dante it just wasn't as fun for me. I thought the level design was atrocious in the final third. I still enjoyed my time with it, but I have no interest in going beyond a single play through. That notion would have shocked me after beating level 9, because up until then I loved it.
