The one (of many) things I don't understand is: what's the point of the hashtag wars at the end? All right, so "we have awoken", whatever that means; that doesn't change the fact that there was a literal Hell portal in the city, that there are literal demons running around and able to easily kill people, that the vast majority of people (I think) are addicted to Slurm, that one person was controlling the world through debt, that the loving city is razed. Also Vergil's anonymous crusade is all but destroyed and he himself fucks off (to become Nelo Angelo, I assume). But who cares, people have awoken! Also the Mundus fight is atrociuos, and Vergil fight is a snore fest - he's slow, he's weak, and at the end he becomes a gimmick boss, which is just a travesty. And Kat's being lauded by Dante for her accomplishments is really jarring, because the game wants to be "realistic" and "cool anime" at the same time, so we get the scenes of Kat being indispensible for breaking in a corporate building and drawing up a plan of attack for two superpowered half demons, one of which can teleport at will. Good thing Kat was here, what'd they do without her

I assume the little twitter thing was supposed to be telling us that Limbo has manifested into reality worldwide and demons are now everywhere; intercepting 'we killed the bad guy so now everything is good again right?' I think Virgil broke the planet.

If it was to work out like this one, they'd probably start by telling fans that they were pigs for liking Bayonetta[the character] and how the new version is gonna be a ~Strong Female Character~ now. Everyone'll constantly call her a slut at all times, even while in the middle of doing favors for them like pulling them out of a burning car or saving them from demons. I think it's actually be kinda fun to think of ways to completely fun games.

Luckily, I don't think we have to worry about any more NT reboots of Capcom properties. It's unlikely Capcom is going to be willing to work with them again, and besides, Capcom is doing a good enough job ruining its franchises by itself.  --- Reminds me of the "What if NT rebooted" images, I saw floating round:    And someone did some texture edits in-game, à la the Spanish mod:   There was a lot of mickey taking also, in the aftermath of the game, regarding both the low sales, and when Tameem Antonides (which they mispelt) appeared promoting something at a dev conference, with a shaven head:    ---

Since we've completed the game (Pretty much) I've been watching Accounting's LP of the other DMC games, and it's like how hard is it to make a smug guy who isn't just "gently caress you!"&*Finger*. Like being cocky isn't hard to write or even smug isn't hard to write. Edit: I should point out the original Dante has been written this way. Just a smug dude who doesn't just try to be edgy by being crude. Zain fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Apr 17, 2014 |

He really does look like an emaciated Dante. I see him and I want to give him a pizza. (speakin'a pizzas) wiki posted:Dante has a fondness for pizza, and while he complains about olives, he always ends up with them on his pizza. His liking for pizza was added because the director believes that pizza is the "best food ever". In the animated series, he is also shown to favor strawberry sundaes as well as pizza with it being pointed out on several occasions that those two foods are all he eats. He has a habit of getting roaring drunk; in the first volume of the manga, he mentions getting so drunk that he proposed to a mop. I wanna see drunken Dante now. Really how can you see a character like this and say 'Why yes making him gritty and moody totally is in the spirit of the character'. He's a superpowered goon.

So earlier, someone mentioned that Vergil only had a halfcoat. Looking at him, it reminds me of the Swordmasters from Path of Radiance, but it's a tiny bit shorter.

The old Dante is the class clown just trying to have a good time and is cool only when no one is looking. The new Dante seems to be more the class bully who thinks that the things he does are grown up and cool. Because there was little going on in the final fight, I started to look at Dante's fighting style and Is Dante suppose to be left-handed? Things like the way the sword is sheathed, his trillion stab, and the way he controls the axe are all the lefty versions of the moves.

Nero swings and sweeps with his left, though that's because his other hand is the Devil Bringer. And not that it makes any difference, but the original Ebony and Ivory guns were designed with ejection ports for the proper handedness (Ebony for left-handed use, Ivory for right).

DmC was a dumb game that was obsolete the moment it came out and cast aside when Metal Gear Rising landed, and Cromartie High is a wonderful series.

How great would it be if they turned into their DmC 1 Devil Trigger forms when they both go Trigger in the final Vergil/Dante fight. Because their old Trigger forms are loving gross weird demon things. I'd have loved to hear all the fighting for humans poo poo coming from a bug-monster.

Hmm. Well. I was going to go off on a tear about Virgil, but it actually makes sense? A little? I mean, okay, so now the demons have been exposed, and they're all over the world doing whatever they want, and only Virgil's small cadre even knows they existed and how to fight them. If you're assuming Virgil only started this thing to dethrone Mundus and take his place, that state of affairs is a much more palatable outcome than if he actually had noble intentions and swerved at the last second.

One of my favourite thing about DmC:Devil May Cry is that Trophies are mostly references to older games and Dante's one-liners. However, nowadays Trophy list are translated and the previous games were not, so translating the Trophy list actually makes the references worthless Are you going to LP the Vergil's DLC? Supposedly it's quite good, but I'm a cheap bastard and don't want to start spending any money on the game now.

Have you played DMC3: Special Edition, or the HD collection with Vergil in it? The DLC gameplay is basically that, but lacking any of the precision. It's "good", by virtue of not being utterly broken like the main game combat (it's much better than the main game's combat), but it suffers heavily from sloppy moves, and the lack of control on some of the others. On the plus side though, it doesn't have that colour-coded enemy poo poo going on. The worst crime of all, however, is that they misnamed Vergil's dive-kick, Starfall, as Dante's Killer-Bee  The story carries on DmC:Devil may Cry's low standards, but with added horrible artwork cutscenes, in place of the potato-people mo-cap used previously.

I should've qualified that it's supposedly quite good "for a DmC:Devil May Cry DLC", I wouldn't think that it's as good as the Vergil in DMC 3

Naw, the worst crime of all is how poorly they pace out giving you new moves- you don't get any shoulder button stuff for the first mission which gives you all of eight moves to work with, you only get the heavy attacks at the beginning of the third (of six, one of which is just a boss fight) mission and the devil trigger at the beginning of the final one. I know these games tend to be more rewarding on subsequent playthroughs once your skill and tool set can match higher difficulties, but this is an extreme version. It's like how Dante got so many tools way too late in DMC4, but without the sheer complexity of the character that made it justifiable. Also I'm just glad Killer Bee exists at all, it was sorely missed in the main campaign. Why grapple to an enemy when you can dive kick them? Especially in 3 when you could resemble a looney tunes sketch by jumping off their heads repeatedly.
