Devil May Cry 5 |OT| It's been 11 years since we last met. Where does the time go? [Now on Xbox Gamepass]
- Thread starter Dahbomb
- Start date
Yeah, this is why I have no problem with the locations ingame. We have a city with various environments and a hellish demon tree(?).
I'm good.
They're bit more expensive this time.
Overture in the demo was 100 Rorbs, in the full game it's 500 Rorbs.
The economy is fine based on the reviews. I guess it's just that people are broke as shit at the start of the game.
Been forever since I've played a DMC game (not counting dMc). Think I'm going to start with auto-assist on as I might be a little too tempted to play this like Bayonetta or the last dMc game.
Wow, that's super early. Nice! I was going to maybe do a few missions before bed but looks like I have a fun night ahead of me instead.
I could absolutely see a more open structure working, especially given Dante & Nero's vocation, but I also get that fans wouldn't want that.
There's always Nioh, though. That game was mission-based, but remixed those missions multiple times to add a ton of replay value. Imagine if the different enemy placements from Son of Sparda were instead optional missions that could be tackled with any character. And if you faced different bosses at the end of those missions (buffed early game bosses would have new life breathed into them). That's what Nioh did, and it would fit perfectly in DMC's format with minimal tweaks.
I can't imagine a reason to not want that.
I think he's fun, but yeah, it's a little difficult to do the right move sometimes since you don't actually control/move Griffon or Shadow.

the only disappointment I have so far is the fact that a certain fight has a pretty weak song accompanying it
Been 2 fights so far that i've progressed by just dying, maybe the "add" health bar goes down slowly (honestly hard to even see it with how much is going on)...but lets not pretend you are meant to win.
Related to the post above? Like doku?
The problem people are probably having is that using defensive tools such as dodge/double jump actually require your allies. If you dodge for example, shadow does the dodge for you and is now repositioned by V. Hence, if you attack with him hes not gonna be hitting that demon you're locked onto which is 5 miles away from your current position.
IMO they control really well, but its alot to get your head round initially.
Ranging from 500-3500. Not really alot of reason to buy them first so far
I was already spoiled on a couple things, but fucking YouTube is trying to ruin everything!
The environments and level design structure are definitely the areas where I think DMC should evolve some. From what I've seen so far it seems like DMC1 is still the king in that regard and.....it shouldn't be. Until Onimusha went full action RPG it too suffered from not being as tight and focused as it slowly moved away from the Resident Evil formula. Same with Dino Crisis
Man I did not expect the world of DMC to be less final fantasy and more like Supernatural the TV series.
Normal folks really don't know shit about demons. My perspective has been skewed by only seeing Dante's adventures lol.

Damn that's sick, opposite of the you're bad easy mode unlocked
You've mentioned it's the opposite of Easy Mode is now Selectable.
Is it if I win the unwinnable fight?
EDIT:
Cool.
IMO this will be the main source of V frustration, everytime you dodge shadow moves away from the target. Hes alot to take in at first, but hes super awesome.
And holyyyyyy shit Dante time for me

Every time the game deviates from fighting, people will complain- Platforming bridges,under water segments, shadow puzzles, light puzzles, blade puzzles etc.
There is value in knowing your strengths and not padding your game with fluff. Resident Evil is about clearing rooms as efficiently as possible with the resources you're given, Devil May Cry is about clearing enemy types and composition with the tools you're given.
SoS from the start will spoil late-game enemies, though, right? :(
I'm not sure if I want it, but the first playthrough being too easy is probably a bigger issue.

The great level design and environments of DMC1 came at the expense of that Kamiya patented fluff like the underwater segment, not because of it. We already have a DMC game that proves you can do better, there's no excuse not to.
Wouldn't Shadow teleport back to the enemy if you lock-on to it again (after dodge) before pressing the attack button?
The "problem" is that the combat is too complex. The map design wasn't really horrible before, but all the walking and light puzzles felt like a huge waste of time.
Until they can figure out a way to interact with the levels that is as engaging as fighting, I'd rather just have a linear map of fight after fight with some cutscenes in the middle.
In Souls this isn't a problem because fights are short, simple and brutal. You're not dying to get to another fight so you can try some sweet tech you've been practicing in your mind. You just hit R1 a couple of times and don't get hit. Even Sekiro, with its much more complex toolset, is very simple compared to DMC. So traversing complex environments, finding secrets, talking to NPCs, that's all a huge part of the enjoyment, it feels just as meaningful as combat.
But in DMC, I'm doing dumb puzzles while thinking about testing some shit out with Dante when I get to play with him again. I just want to test some stuff, to try to do better in combat. All of the walking feels like a gigantic waste of time, and increasing the time you spend walking without amping up the mechanical complexity of walking feels just as useless.
And I say this as a huge Souls fan. In fact, I like Souls way more than I like DMC, but they're just not that comparable to lift things from one to the other. You get an encounter, it's 3 dudes, you try to hit a specific combo with style switching and jump cancel over and over again. You never get it right, but you're THIS close, you feel like with two more enemies of the same type you'll finally get your cool looking combo. But before you get to those two enemies, here's some walking, some puzzles, some talking or whatever. Who wants that? It's trash. And, again, I say this as someone who LOVES exploration in Souls, the level design is incredible. But I'm not convinced it would work in DMC.

Just avoid YouTube for today, I've had stuff pop up for me randomly
Amazon is really making me sweat. They haven't shipped my Deluxe copy yet. I locked in my order the week the Deluxe was announced, so I'm hoping I made the cut. I'm a bit nervous after reading about canceled orders.
I had a regular copy preordered as well, but I canceled it after the Deluxe was announced. My pessimist brain is telling me Amazon canceled my Deluxe with it.
"We assumed you didn't want DMC in your life, therefore we cancelled all the pizza eating, strawberry sundae loving fuckers in your Orders."
