Devil May Cry 5 Xbox Demo Thread (update: demo period has now finished)
- Thread starter Dahbomb
- Start date
They're great character action games, there's no joke comparing them. What's with the attitude?
Don't waste your time on him bro. If this boss was that difficult for him , then Dmc is not his cup of tea .
OP

Oh shit.. didn't know it was possible to KO Goliath like that.
Best to play DMC4SE. For catching up the story and get a hang of the control.
Man the music in this game is so good and thats only the first level
It won't suck ffs. People overreacting over an old build of a really limiting demo, which only allows you to play with the most barebone Nero moveset over the easiest lesser demons. Same situation as the DMC4 Nero demo (for people not remembering how restrictive that demo also was combat-wise).
I was thinking this earlier actually, how people didn't take to Nero in the demo cause of the piddling shooter and OP grab.
I guess what I really mean tho is I hope the game finds an audience outside the die-hards. It needs it.
Also I want Itsuno to have big bucks behind him for Dragons Dogma 2
Watched a stream of the demo, and the music is REALLY good. It wasn't noticeable in the off screen footage we had before, but damn, they did a great job with the atmosphere, in general.
Wish I still had my Xbone for this, had to sell it a year ago due to rough times and just haven't gone and bought another yet.
Game looks fantastic, I do still dislike the Breaker system and wish they were permanent, just Nero's version of Devil Arms.
They could get around the supers on the Breakers being OP with a bit of work, I think. For example, maybe by making them have a cooldown after the super that's reduced by you fighting normally and perhaps reduces faster with higher style ranks (not a timer, so it promotes going in and styling on people).
Still buying day one though, the Breakers aren't enough to put me off playing as Nero. He's my boy.

I really hope they put in an option to turn it off, but for some reason, they always refuse to do so on consoles, as if it's going to completely confuse somebody.
I feel like the game is probably set already, though. My pre-order on Xbox depends on this, so I hope they can adress it if people tweet their feedback.
I really hate when games go out of their way to make the viewing experience uncomfortable when you're low on life, especially in a third -person action game. Yeah, I get it, my character is low on health. You can make it known with shitting up the whole screen into a double image rainbow mess that hurts to watch. Tint the screen red or put some effects on the screen edges, but chromatic aberration is literally uncomfortable to focus on because of the double image.
I played this demo at the EGX and didn't really feel it. Maybe DMC is not my thing. It feels like the weapons lack weight unlike in, say, Metal Gear Rising.
This just confirms that my Xbox One X will be getting mad use in March. Game is so gorgeous and smooth.
Dunno how anybody can complain about thia demo. All of the other games are just as barebones for the first few levels when you only have the starting move set. Hell I'd say DMC3, the best one imo, doesn't get amazing until after you've beaten the game and unlocked all of the moves, weapons and style upgrades.
I'd recommend playing 1, 3 and 4, they are great games, especially 3 which is one of the best character action games ever.
Thanks guys, will look into it later again.
Loved the normal fights so far after a few tries (still only in easy mode) and loved the dynamic music and the chorus of Devil Trigger that only sets in on A, really pumping, but I definitely need to go deeper into the arm mechanics and stuff.
i got my 1X like a month ago and this is the cleanest looking game i played so far.
A little annoyed that we can't shuffle or jump cancel in this demo still, but I've gone it through a bunch now. Fuck I need dmc5 in my life yesterday.
This demo looks sooooo good on the X. Everything about its presentation screams top quality, from the character and environmental detail to the insanely nuanced animations. Only Platinum can rival this animation quality and the subtle enhancements that make each attack feel powerful.
The individual slashes in Nero's standard combo feel so sharp and strong now, with the little pause in the final slash and the way he throws his body weight into the blows. And that's one example in a demo full of them. Top tier design right here.

You think Bayonetta is a button masher? What the actual fuck, lmao. Educate yourself.

So first impressions
- game looks amazing
- runs like butter
- Animations are silky smooth
The game does feel a little slow - and will always be my gripe with Capcom and DMC games. Turbo mode always seems like an after thought, and therefore when going from DMC3SE to DMC4, it felt slow, and then from DMC4SE to DmC, it felt slow. We are now in that same predicament where the game feels a little slower, but im still so glad i get to play a new DMC game after 10 freaking years!
The idea of not being able to switch the devil breakers is very annoying. If has to be destroyed in order to reel to the next breaker. Should have been an on the fly switch - why limit it?
Aside from this - cant wait to kick ass in a new DMC game

Yep it's damned annoying and I hope the full game lets you unlock the option to switch freely without having to use Super Nero or something.
Only a true moron would button mash in either of those games, Bayonetta especially, when the combat systems are so deep. You're ridiculous.
God damn, so rude to new players looking for tips. I'm sure you were a Donguri-tier action genius when you first got into the DMC series.

His post is 100% rude but the person who they commented on that said he played the other games. Just a correction not excusing anything.
My fucking goodness, you can rev during the damn air taunt! I need to read the OP once I'm done playing. Crazy shit going on here,
Damn that first video was so stylish. You can do a lot even with such minimal combat options.
Lol, my mistake. Still, I think it's wrong to shame people for struggling with a game that's supposed to be challenging. Especially on a giant boss with erratic attacks and big hitboxes. Telling someone DMC isn't for them because a boss gave them trouble is such gross elitism. The fanbase needs less of that kind of attitude.
I was thinking that they might release a demo for each character, if there are meant to be more demos coming.
You won't find any disagreement from me. Elitism has no place in gaming. Except when people call Souls games Soulsborne.
That would be neat, especially considering the time until release. Hopefully no more exclusive demos since I want to try them on my pro too.
IIRC some of the showfloor demos already had Turbo Mode in the menus, though you couldn't activate it. So at least this time we won't have to wait.
Oh, I hadn't heard about this. I don't mind the standard game speed in 5 since I'm still getting used to the Breakers and the new charge shot mechanic, but if we get Turbo at launch I'd be all over it.
Beautiful (I can't stop looking at Nero's new cheekbones in the close up, though :P)
Overture does a ton of damage and the lightning blast acts as a counter against certain attacks
For example when Goliath does his rush attack in the second phase you can counter it.
No, that's specifically for the buster arm.
Well the Breakage move is technically a grab but I don't think that's what you're asking for.
One of the tooltips says you can plant up to three Overture bombs at once. Can you get multiple bombs from one use of Break Age, or do you have to break three Overtures to do that?
