I'm absolutely fuming over these reviews I'm imagining I wish you could see how bad they are

I mean, have you seen games journos react to it throughout its development? They're absolutely not over how people still hated DmC after they praised it to the moon.

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

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

As Dante, how do you deal with Stinger pushing enemies away? Nero can use his wire to quickly close the distance, but with Dante I find myself constantly a hairsbreadth out of melee range. I can just walk forward after the stinger, or spam it until they're trapped in a corner, but there must be a better way to close in that I'm missing.

Don't just stinger, release the stick and hold the button to start million stab, which is cancellable into any number of things like high time or propeller or any sort of command normal or style input on a switched weapon.

The DMC anime is done by exactly the same people as did the Gungrave anime, and is done in much the same way.

Whether that idea makes you excited or disgusted, that's how how you'll probably feel about it.

On topic has anyone beat (Mission 8) Urizen 2 yet? I got him to like 15% of his life left but his crystal reforms after 10 seconds so I wound up fumbling super hard at the finish line

Yeah and it's the same as the prologue if you win. Kinda disappointing considering the hassle, tbh. I was hoping for a little something extra.

what's everyone's opinion on (postgame dante equipment) rebellion vs sparda vs dante

the last one's got some good spammy moves but losing the moveset i've become familiar with over the last ten years still messes up my flow from time to time


DSD fixes almost every problem I've ever had with Dante's base sword moveset ever since DMC1, short of just making Stinger automatically go into Million Stab. Defaulting to Helm Breaker as your only non-style aerial attack has always been incredibly frustrating and I'm glad they had the sense to walk that back as soon as they could. That said, ever since I unlocked the ability to, I've kept Sparda right next to DMD just for the sake of the lost style moves and nothing else.

That said I wish they took a note from DMC4SE Vergil's book and also gave Dante an Air Stinger but hey. And maybe made kick mode not default to Starfall in the air too, just make all the knockdown moves command normals.

Is this a separate move from the double jump?

I couldn’t get far enough with the ledge-run-jump, teleport and double jump.

Shadow hop, swing your cane in mid-air three times, glide, and then teleport at the end, and you'll get it

So many weird things like "discard 2nd kalina" or "shorthair Dante" being hidden behind secondary button prompts is some classic Capcom poo poo. IDK how anyone was gonna find out about the "chewing gum" thing though, that's hilarious.

It tells you that you got it when you unlock it, and then it shows up in the command list.

After I watched someone beat every boss in Bloodborne without dodging I realized that there is a gaming Event Horizon where people are out their literally torturing themselves to beat video games with such ludicrous handicaps that it just starts to lose meaning.

True, there's always a new challenge. I mean, I decided to do a Buster Duel of Vergil not that long ago.

It's hilariously unfun but still the best 3d megaman game.

Stance switch for Nightmare maybe? Less damaging, but waaaaay faster.

It would be absolutely insane from a development effort perspective, but a fun idea would be taking your three basic buttons (melee, ranged, and DT), and assign a different demon to each in the customize menu, as if it were weapons for Dante.

So like you could have a Griffon that attacks with fast but weak pecks and claw slashes which would be good for flying enemies but loses the rapidfire projectiles and lightning, or if you set him to DT you could summon a giant DMC1 style Griffon who just does all the DMC1 things but with bigger AOEs and damage. Nightmare in melee form would be just a smaller and faster version of how he is in-game, and projectile version could just be the DMC1 blob with the little laser cannons and stuff. And a ranged Shadow could summon spikes from the ground where enemies are standing.

Hell, if you wanted to, you could easily put Phantom into this too, and take care of that issue people were talking about with having to pull your demons out of a fight for evasion. You could set a 'defensive' demon, with the default being Phantom, who instead of giving side or back dodges, could put up a shield, and maybe have some royal guard elements in there if you block at the right time. And of course he could be switched to a melee or ranged form, where he'd attack with pounces or fireballs or whatnot.
