I think this is my all time favorite “character action” game. It’s phenomenal.

I hope the delay of bloody palace is to implement multiplayer. 2/3 person option in bloody palace would rock.

i'm pretty fine with waiting for bloody palace a little bit and also i'm looking forward to any dlc that adds new characters

playable nico please

I thought about that too but there are a bunch of places the Van wouldn't fit. Also, she'd have to stick some speed racer poo poo on the bottom so the van could do jumps, but I'm sure she could handle that.

Question about mission 6 it just spawned a enemy with a huge health bar and I assume it's supposed to be a boss but it just... kinda walked around and did jack and poo poo. It popped spikes on it's back and that's it. Was it supposed to actually attack me? There was health all over the place but I just kinda beat the tar out of the poor thing...

Considering the secret ending is Trish and Lady getting hired for a job and that they were playable in DMC4:SE, I'd honestly expect the DLC to be them and maybe Motivation Man.

Look, all I'd want is Lady to get a revamped and better moveset and give me that sweet rear end Trish moveset from 4 with some additions and I'd be good.

And, yeah, I guess that other dude to get peoples motor's vatin'.

I'm really having trouble getting a handle on V. Like, he performs fine, I actually tend to get higher rankings than with Nero/Dante because he never gets hit, but I'm constantly in a state of Shadow never being where I want him, and it feels like I'm trying to manipulate marionette strings with boxing gloves on.

beat game, expectations that were not exceeded:
- bloody palace not being obvious DLC bait
- V has nothing that references phantom
- dantes guns are a lot better than 4 but its still a case where you really don't have a reason to use anything besides the explosives and The Gimmick One (at least they aren't the same weapon this time around)
- you can't choose to just not have the sword/pistols like you could in DMC3

expectations that were exceeded:
literally all other things, including many things I didn't know I wanted before they happened

So apparently humanity's main power, judging from Lady, Nico, and parts of Nero, is not their strength of will, their strength of numbers, nor their strength of courage, but rather their ability to build increasingly big and strong Guns.

its not so much about it being $$$ DLC or not (I actually wouldn't mind this game getting some updates), it's that it's not a mode I can play right now to make grinding out the super taunts and the like more fun

I feel like the form of the Secret Missions in DMC5 are almost sort of a backwards "not in a million years" aimed at Ninja Theory. DMC5's Secret Mission location thingy are taking the central Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice mechanic (where you wander around areas until you can make shapes in the environment line up into specific runes) and just making this a part of DMC5 - and making it a much more fun mechanic with less bullshit frustration. "See Ninja Theory? We even do your innovative mechanics better than you do!"

Innovative? I suppose you could have called the Riddler puzzles in Arkham Asylum that back when that was new.

I have not noticed a change in performance after grabbing the non-Denuvo executable. There are still areas with big drops in performance.

Just some interesting thoughts as I replay on SoS.

V has a taunt that plays the 1812 overture while he conducts.

V's useless cane can parry enemy attacks (!!!)

Yeah, it's basically the best/only way to make it through refighting Cavalier Angelo as V is you don't take Shadow for him.

The PWAANGG sound when you parry an enemy with V's cane is very satisfying. It's like "gently caress off" in sound effect form.

The one where you need to hit a Death Scissor's weak point. Any time I've done so has been by accident and I don't know how.

You kinda need to be careful.

When you fully break a Death Scissor's weapon it will start pulling out another one and its mask goes all red while it's doing it. If you shoot 'em while it is they'll die in one hit.

This game is loving amazing. Aside from the fact they've made the best combat system ever made (sorry, Bayonetta) better, one big improvement from the previous games I'm not sure has been remarked on is that the world feels much less sterile and empty than in previous DMCs. The areas in previous games felt like big empty setpieces, even if the environment was lush or it was in a city, whereas now there's more verisimilitude. A lot of this for me comes from things not directly connected merely with area design or graphics - those being the much more frequent dialogue from the player character (and V's companions) and the larger cast of characters, which help in me thinking of the world I'm presented with as being one in which people actually live and things are going on outside of what I can see.

Edit: I also wanna echo whoever it was who said that V should be much less cool than he is, given that he's a pretentious and vaguely effete goth. I'd actually written something very similar but didn't post it prior to seeing that post.
