Just like in DMC3 clashing is good and strong and is your friend.
You can also use the Buster arm to grab those guys out of their hyper armor.
Additionally Nero also has DT Activation like defensive ability, with his Break Away, but that's extremely costly for anything that isn't a boss grab.
By clashing do you mean hitting them at the same time as them me? I thought I'd seen that work at least once this morning, but it seems unreliable.

Nothing happens when I try to get-over-here at those guys when they're purple and charging at me; they don't get over, but oddly Nero doesn't go to them either. They just take a touch of damage and continue the animation

I know the game's trying to say "get out of their way, dumbass" but Revengeance and Sekiro have trained me to Parry Everything Damnit :v:

(e) Also I'm really struggling to remember to hit Exceed, let alone time it correctly :(

Clashing is when you hit their attack with your own attack yes, some moves are better for it than others. Hard Way is Nero's absolute braindead move for getting clashes but any melee attack with a long active hitbox will work.

I'm not talking about the Snatch, I'm talking about Buster Arm, the one that does wrestling moves on enemies. You might not have unlocked it yet, you get it like half-way through the game I think.

You definitely have the correct mindset though, keep on keeping on.

These two have the best choreography I've seen for DMC5. Donguri is good but I feel like he uses too many inputs which is impressive but makes things look a bit silly.

Yeah, one of the cute things about DMC combo vids is that there’s subgenres of people who go for sheer technical mastery doing fifty attacks at once, and people who try to add a cinematic flair and look cool and believable (well, as believable as anime logic gets.) I usually prefer the latter, and donguri is probably the best DMC player on the planet but they definitely fit in the former group.

As for the Special Edition, it’s absolutely a monkey paw deal. By all accounts DMC5 sold quite well on PC so the only reason I can think of why they’re not porting it over is because, and I say this as a PC gamer myself, there is a certain sense of entitlement amongst PC gamers where they believe updates as small as what DMC5SE has to offer aside from Vergil should be free. But I’m so excited to play as our upsell boi in the DMC5 engine I’m gonna wind up buying it anyways.

It's just cuz Sony paid them for some exclusivity window. It's not a conspiracy it's how business works, pc players just have to wait and eventually they'll release it or a modder will just get fed up and do the needful.

If Sony paid for exclusivity it wouldn't be on Xbox.

Sony doesn't see PC as a competitor, they're even experimenting with putting first party games on PC. Buying exclusivity for an upgraded edition of an old game to keep it off PC and not Xbox is loving insane.

Well whoever it is, console exclusivity like this usually involves marketing deals. I didn't know the deets since I stopped paying attention until there was a PC announcement me, oops

DMC5 first had exclusive marketing with Xbox and this time Sony. Either way both consoles see value in DMC which is good. They both likely said console exclusive.

Another possibility is that Capcom prioritized the next-gen consoles just to get sales lift from being in the launch lineup, and they're not talking about the inevitable PC release yet because they want people to get impatient and double dip

NOT ENOUGH RED ORBS ARGH

teh_Broseph posted:

an entirely new character with new weapons and movesets: that modelling and animation was mostly already in the game for as shown by the PC mod

Not really afaik. The playable Vergil mod is hacked together and has no Beowulf moveset, no Mirage Edge (Force Edge) moveset, no concentration mechanic, tons of missing animation effects, and a very limited moveset. Iirc Vergil couldn't even run around properly in the the earliest versions of the mod.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLZzKX4Cwzw

Don't get me wrong, I wished they'd included more new content as well, but adding Vergil certainly wasn't as simple as ripping off some fan mods.




Also for fellow PC players, I'm not sure if this was posted in this thread before, but just a reminder that there's "stuff" happening behind-the-scenes with the PC version of the game:

https://steamdb.info/app/601150/dlc/

More specifically, 7 unidentified DLCs have been added to the Steam database. This doesn't confirm the Special Edition content as they might not have decided yet whether to commit to it, but definitely suggests they're considering it.

That was a cool thing that I will credit DmC with actually, they spell it out: Vergil actually had to watch his mother’s death, Dante (who was then named Anthony Redgrave?) actually was shoved in a closet and hidden.
