Pomp posted:did you get the 1.20x bonus Alright, I tried this on mission 2. I purposefully died to the boss and chose give up then restarted from checkpoint and beat it. The bonus & penalty screen showed nothing. In my memory I've gotten the bonus before but guess I was wrong.

What's the use for Maximum Bet when it does 2/3 of the damage Showdown does even when fully charged and even less if you try to use it as a projectile?

Whelp, I just read a Newsweek article and whoops-daisy Reubon Langdon is a loving CHUD. It doesn’t impact my enjoyment of this game at all, because Dante isn’t a CHUD but yeah I won’t be following Langdon outside of this project anymore.

The purpose of DSD's Swords isn't purely damage. The style button creates a series of hitboxes that can be triggered during any animation without interrupting it, so you can do all sorts of things; add hits to combos, launch and start juggling an enemy, knock back somebody who is approaching to harass you, etc. One of my favorite new tricks now is starting some kind of long, uncancelable animation like Mega Cascade, switching to Swordmaster, and using DSD swords to defend myself during wind up or cool down. Oh, you thought you were going to knock me out of that animation? Phantom High Time into gently caress You Laser, true combo. Round Trip especially is great for just harassing enemies and interrupting their animations, and you have access to your entire kit of sword moves while you charge it. And that's not even getting into the Charged/DT swords. Those long Gunslinger animations can be automatically defended by auto targeting homing swords. The RG swords make it almost impossible to lose style to getting hit. The Trickster swords somehow give you even more mobility. And the Swordmaster swords expand, enhance, and extend the duration of pretty much every melee hitbox, adding range and extra hits to every melee attack, increasing the number of enemies that can be caught and held in them, and thus increasing damage and style and keeping you safer. Plus, they're just cool. Summoned Swords is the one thing Vergil could do that Dante just couldn't, and now not only does Dante have his own summoned swords, but they are distinct from Vergil's in a way that totally matches Dante's character.

If you’re worried about Langdon being a chud, that sucks, but what’s more worrying is that Morrison is voiced by a white guy who pretends to be black on his YouTube channel. And is also a chud. I’m not gonna let it ruin my enjoyment of the game but yeah, yikes.

I normally don’t, but the story of Langdon doing some mocap work and doing such an amazing job that they basically reformatted the character to be more like him, was a beautiful one. It was about a man who so loved stylish action combat that he became the patron saint of it. He’s even married to the mocap actress who does Lady! I guess none of that is different now, he’s just a dude with some sick moves, a hot Asian wife, and terrible, just awful political views. Morrison is in this game for like 4 minutes totally, IDGAF about him at all.

Reuben Langdon is the "keep an open mind" guy to a fault, this isn't the first time he's stuck his foot in his own mouth by chiming in on current events. The Newsweek article (unsurprisingly) takes his word pretty far out of context but I listened to the podcast and that is the gist of what he said. I don't think he is part of the CHUD boogeyman army but his understanding of some of the stuff the article brings up seems very surface-level unfortunately. A bit more research would do him well. edit: Stuff like giving the QAnon people the time of day is just indefensible, though, because even a modicum of deeper thought would tell you it's all bullshit. UFOs, knock yourself out dude who even knows; QAnon, I don't think so man. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Mar 19, 2019 |

I've known for a while that Langdon is a gigantic loving hippie (seriously I tried to follow him on Twitter back then and couldn't deal with all the hippie poo poo) so I can't say I'm surprised that he can get led on by chud thinking. Still a bummer, hope he isn't that deep into right-wing insanity and is just an idiot at times.

For reference, he didn't just bring these things up out of nowhere, he was prompted to talk about Vic Mignona by the podcasters and it just went from there -> twitter stuff -> politics stuff and back for a while before moving onto talk about truth-seeking and investigating conspiracies. It was a really weird conversation and only tangentially about DMC and his work, fascinating to peek into his mind and all but I'm not sure what the point was. That stuff about Morrison's VA is fuckin wild though, I have no idea what to even make of that. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Mar 19, 2019 |

Tony Camen’s videos are literally unforgivably racist and him being attached to so many kids shows and video games makes me think nobody has ever attempted to vet him. He’s like “big buck teeth me so solly” levels of gross. Edit: Vic Mengona is a different cast member who touched a butts Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Mar 19, 2019 |

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:I think it's worth it just for having an actual air combo to be honest. The feeling of air tricking and going straight into a combo and being able to dash away on a big boss is great. I haven't looked at the actual damage of the swords but I kind of mash O with Triangle together so I see it as just free damage? IIRC there is no RG chip damage for regular blocks, it drains DT instead and gives you less on the revenge bar and less style.

Yeah, Langdon definitely got into it more for the kooky conspiracy theory stuff than any actual hatred (brief reminder his recent stint of getting shot at in Guatemala was because he was filming some kind of ancient aliens theory doc) but conspiracy theorists tend to gravitate, and the right wing has leaned on them as they need to come up with more and more outlandish reasons why anyone should ever trust them with anything. Alex Jones started his career pretty centrist and got more and more far-right as time went on. And the rest is just Reuben being an astoundingly privileged white dude. So, I dunno. It sucks, but DMC5 is still a good-rear end game!

Speaking of which, the tiny slice of lyrics that come in if you do the super duper special move when you get your chance is so drat good. Endgame spoilers obviously. To get this to happen you have to smash Vergil and his shadow clone together with the Devil Buster when he's stunned. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Mar 19, 2019 |

You know if we're talking about wishlist stuff, my #1 hope for dlc is the return of legendary dark knight mode from the pc version of DMC4. That difficulty devolved into the most glorious stupid loud nonsense in the best possible way. https://youtu.be/73tOwY-8UgY

Might be harder this time since the graphics are 20x better. DMC4 could do that because by the time it came to PC the power of computers combined with the greatness of MT framework could handle it.

Lady is from every single thing described in the game a broken-as-poo poo person who spends her days either killing demons as the sole regular human in the series or getting shitfaced drunk. If she says killing her dad hosed her up, I think we can believe her. Lady killing her dad did not appear to do her any favors as a person. Honestly Nero seems to be the only person in the DMC protagonist lineup who appears functional outside of murdering demons

Idk despite Dante's goofy disposition he shows a surprising amount of maturity and is generally treated as the beacon of humanity and compassion to the point he is Nero's first real role model. Also yeah, Lady didn't just up and kill her dad no problem she agonized over having to do it when she actually found him in the hallway and even acter having been betrayed by him she still cried and felt genuine sorrow over having to do it.

Dante is a good person but also basically is constantly broke and basically only seems to have his stuff together when he's murdering demons and saving the world. Which to be fair is a very good time to have your stuff together.

The problem is more that they never spend any time building up Dante and Lady's emotional baggage from killing a family member so when Lady just says "that'll gently caress you up" it comes out of nowhere because she spent the rest of the game doing comedy relief with Nico. Telling us she's messed up in notes isn't a replacement for showing us
