While funny as hell and the treatment 2 deserves, it kills any chance of Lucia being in the game. Pity.
I'm sure I'm going to love our freshman emo poet by the end of the game (and what I've seen in the trailers I like), but I wish she was in his playable character slot.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I really need to get better at using my gun as Nero, but the button is a bit out of the way. Maybe I should slap my gun button to R2 and move my melee to Square? I feel like I'm gonna get a hand cramp with the default layout trying to make sure to use all the abilities at my disposal.

Also, I'm not nearly as terrible as I feared! I haven't played a Devil May Cry in a couple years and I'm not particularly great at character action games so it was nice getting an early fight in mission 2.

She is in the prequel novel when Dante gets Balrog so Capcom hasn't completely forgotten about her if it's any consolation

Has anyone gotten this to work with a ps4 controller on pc? I have all my steam big picture settings set to ds4, but the button prompts in game still tell me I'm using a bone controller. I pretty much never play games needing a controller on pc, so I'm completely stumped.

Steam’s controller input works by emulating a bone controller and translating all of your controller inputs into it. It’s basically fooling the game into thinking you have a Bone controller.

Try plugging it in without Steam’s guidance going. But if you can tell what button is which between the two controllers, there’s really no need, all that will change are the prompts.

The prompts are the problem in particular. Especially 'x'. Does my head in.

I haven't ever needed to launch a steam game without steam open before, to the point that I'm not if that's even possible, but I'll give it a try.

edit: yeah, its not. Can you elaborate on 'without steam's guidance?'

Sorry, I’m used to PC stuff so I’m using terminology that may not make sense to someone out of the sphere. Erase your settings for the DualShock 4 in Big Picture Mode, essentially.

Really surprised how fun V is to learn. Really a good implementation of a summoner in a skill-focused game. The only thing that's really annoying me is the targeting system. I'm not sure why they made target selection more or less completely non-functional, but uhh... thanks?

Also, I know every veteran knows this, but for anyone starting off with this game : the default controls on a controller are some absolutely abhorrent poo poo that expects you to use a disgusting claw grip and destroy your hand. Put melee on the button above jump and your ranged attacks on a shoulder button and you'll have a much better time.

For moves that are back/forward+lock-on with V, is it relative to V’s position or relative to the familiar?

Can someone teach me Nero's revving in more detail? I'm not quite sure what the timing is. I bought the skill that lets me get a full charge after an attack and it's strict, but I can't even tell if I'm close to the timing or not. Do I need to press it during swing startup, on contact, on recovery, maybe it's based on different moves? Any tips?

You need to rev after the hit has connected but beyond that I'm not sure how strict the window is.

God drat V is so fun! I had no idea this kind of system would even work in a game like this.

I’ve been consistently doing it right after the attack connects and it seems to work consistently.

Is that really a thing? I’ve been doing great with the default controls and am getting really good with the target selection as of mission 4.

It mostly just makes charging your gun easier. It is hard to press A/B/Y while you are holding down X.

My set up is L1 lock on, L2 EXPLODE ARM R1 Exceed and R2 shoot gun and it seems to be working okay so far. I moved attack to square because triangle just feels wrong too.

I don't know if it works this way

but if you could have a custom controller set-up for each character that they game auto used when you played as them

it would be smokin' sexy style

V's a lot of fun but I felt like the first boss he fought was a bit of a drag; maybe I wasn't used enough to him to really figure it out. His second boss was pretty amazing though!!

EDIT: Also aaaaaah the new red-hot kick Nero move gets has sorely been needed since forever ago and feels so good. The one where you hold down triangle and he launches himself after an enemy is also amazing. Game's so good

Why set up a special program to do that? The game keeps track of how you set up buttons for each playable character.

Dead weight, just like this post.



Anybody understand how the co-op aspect works? Seems to be just you get paired up with sombody playing as the character you didn't pick for the mission and you are kinda adjacent to each other while you run through the levels and you can kinda watch the other guy fight i guess? except for Nero and V fighting the Knight guy reskins from 4 which i'm sad that maybe my co-op partner just ran though the mission and finished without me since i had no Devil Bringer for that fight so i could have used the extra help :v:

Charge shot doesn't work the same way in 5 as it did in 4. Hold the shoot button for a little bit and Nero loads his gun. Then you have 3 charge shots that last until you shoot them.

I told you so...
Well, the first one fires as soon as you let go of the button, so I still think it's more comfortable on a shoulder button, but for sure it's not as big a deal as it was in 4.

Face buttons are for face-smashing, Guns have triggers so put it on a trigger (I use R1)! this isn't rocket surgery

The problem I kept running into with DMC4SE was that if I futzed around with the controls on one character too much it would completely throw off my muscle memory for the other characters.
