I like to have a good reason to fight, and even the option to run sometimes, not only be forced to battle. About the level design, I'm not talking about open world, but something more thought out for exploration. Metroidvanias approach are my preferred way. In honestly the From software style of Souls games are my jam, this is why I mentioned Sekiro. A 3d melee metroidvania with Devil May Cry combat would be my dream game.
Devil may cry is just not the type of game that would be benefited from metroidvania imo because that would lend to a way longer game that is also way more repetitive because DMC is not Sekiro since you can select a difficulty and make it as hard as you want.
Yep. Strongest to attack, weakest to use. But I'm seeing some vids that show promise. It's too early to call it, just like every DMC weapon ever. It just wasn't clicking with me but that's also cause it was killing enemies quick, where I was trying to not do. Might just be a byproduct of a demo and having to grind back to the good fights.
Wait, but DMC and DMC3 to a minor degree kinda already were about finding keys, opening new areas and so on. More like Resident Evil, but you get the idea. Or is my memory playing tricks on me?
These would usually take place within the span of a single level instead of long term.
I hope different enemy types draw more out of Overture. Maybe it'll be really good for parrying certain attacks. If damage output is all it really offers, its combo utility might be limited to finishers.
It is similar in what you are doing but expanding the metroidvania aspects imo would not benefit the game because DMC is very repayable by design so having more things to get and to backtrack on each new game+ would not be enjoyable. I think the super linear level design benefits the game since you get from boss to boss quickly.
Metroidvanias and character action games are my two favourite genres and I'm a huge fan of From Softwares output since Otogi but in my opinion games like DMC need less exploration and more combat if going for the replay-ability factor as it becomes pretty tedious on the 5th character or the 6th difficulty level. I thought DMC3 got the balance between action and exploration close to perfect. What I think they need more is a Nioh-esq ability to just pick boss fights without having to play an entire chapter and after DMC4 be able to play through the entire game with a single character once completed rather than be forced to change.
Never played. Maybe one day if gamepass comes to Pc or for some reason I buy an xbox.
Just add a very robust Blood Palace for post game, with boss rushes and all kind of options for enemies waves.
I agree!
Guard break/armor break seems like something that is a specialty of the Helter Skelter Devil Breaker. Another Breaker that looks boring on paper but probably has some extra utility like its ability to break guards/armors.
Seems like if you get a reward for doing enemy step and an action, works all the way up until A rank. You can also do this with gun shot. But there is a cap to it at A rank. It wasn't like this in the previous games but it doesn't really matter if you aren't rewarded that much beyond A rank for it.
Is there no I framed? I feel like I jumped or dodged and still got hit.
The explosion has invincible frames so it can get you out of situations. In addition, it's instant with no charge time require so when you really need to swap out that's your fastest way. Essentially if you want to do multi Breaker combos. The cool thing about Punchline is that the explosion happens where the Breaker is so you don't get locked out by the animation and can freely be in combat during it.
I frames exist, you still have to time it.
Ok seems I just suck :(
I would say just equip 4 Gerberas against the boss and use the O button to dodge with Gerbera and take the fight to the air. Don't ground yourself against him and use Snatch to reposition after a Gerbera. When he is stunned or something use the Gerbera super move in the air next to him for damage. Don't give up man, you can do it!
Nero plays exactly like DMC4 with Split being a different input and some new moves on top. The combos are the same, the timings for exceed are the same... his play is very much DMC4. Once you familiarize yourself with it, I'm sure you'll see it.
No, I just want a game that feels like a new DMC and not just DMC4-2.
