I beat the Normal difficulty in 9 hours, that's around minimum without any practicing and very few secret missions. If you like character action games, probably at least double that for additional difficulties.

Thanks! I have never really played a game like this but the good reviews and hearing that it had a catch up cinematic have me interested.

Fantastic game, reached Dante which right from the go is a big improvement over DMC4s weapons I feel. All the characters are great to play, mechanically it's the best in the series.

But man the levels are bland and the setting is all boring city. I think DMC3 is still going to be my favorite, the bosses and levels haven't matched 3.

Just finished the game. It was great! Dante is still the most fun character to play, sry Nero and V.

What's the best way to beat those bug queen and knight captain enemies anyway. I rarely get hit by them but they take ages to kill and they don't seem to be launchable.

Just completed the game and had a blast. Nero and Dante are super fun, V could have been better and if they do another game they need to tweak his style a bit.

The only thing I was down on was the multiplayer, which feels kind of half-ass and forced.

Should I remap any of the controls? I kind of feel like maybe gun should be on r2 for Nero?

I feel alone in loving the environments. Only got to mission 12 but I like all of them except for some of V's stages. Blows DMC3/4 out of the water IMO

Beat the collection. (1-3) and started 4 but didn't finish it. How imperative is 4 to this game? Can I skip? I have this game sitting in my hard drive but I don't think I want to play it before beating 4 since I wanna be in tune with the story.

"you cant switch breakers for balance reasons"
Meanwhile

Did Itsuno say that? what gives. It's not like I can't use the DB ultimate attack or get rid of one with L1 to switch. It's just that we want a convenient way to switch instead of a shitty one.

I need a patch that lets me switch between them with left and right d-pad and switch between DB sets with up and down d-pad.

I like how it's just going from one combat section to the next. Exploration is my least favorite part of these games and running around in circles trying to find all the hidden battles in Bayonetta was not my favorite part of it.

This game is so fucking good. I love how weighty Nero feels. Everything he does has so much OOMPH.

I was skeptical about how V would work but holy hell is he fun to play and is his play style unique.

The only real complaint I have is the bland art direction

How to unlock a certain costume.

So there is an EX costume for V. Apparently you need to beat Devil Hunter mission 19 and 20 without dying then perform well on both of the end credits (Nico compliments you and Dante says he won over Vergil).

RIP lost my saves. Been having issues with Steam. There's no way to share saves in this game right? I was getting to the good part too. :(

Don't thing I wanna replay that tree reclimb again..

For Xbox One Controller users: I found setting Lock on from RB (Default) to RT much more comfy. Anyone felt the same?

One of the worst things about the game, they really treated the women like trash in this game.

Who are those annoying people that are starring for the whole mission on the left of my screen? GO AWAY!

With the exception of one fight I almost never saw them actually in-game. Maybe I'd get small glimpses here and there like in the prologue sometimes. But it's almost not noticeable. Weird feature.

I love the tracks that play while you're chilling in the gallery menus. Some real fucking good shit on this soundtrack.

Son of Sparda Found an unlockable taunt for Nero (using same method as described before, need to beat both credit scenes):

I just saw them in a couple of segments and that's it. It is a weird feature and should've been explained better

What kind of black magic did Capcom use to make the PC version this good? It's running so perfect and smooth at max details @1440p and variable framerate (144Hz) with my 1070! Never expected this.

is it like impossible to get an S rank on the first area in mission 1? I can S rank the mission but I can't break 5k style points on that first area.
Still stuck on A rank for this mission. Any tips for V?

edit: nvm finally got it.

First impressions were nice, felt comfortable with Nero, there was some observation work to find secret.
Then one day later, second boot of the game and it as been tedious as hell.
Somewhat haven't been following closely the game, I didn't thought about V being one more obstacle to Dante.
And now reality kicks in, I'm already fed up with that tradition of buying thousand moves that don't want to go away.
But now another character to buy moves for, which is not even fun, the goddamn retry system pushing you to use red orbs to avoid walking to the boss again and levels have been more and more straight corridors.
Glad the knights and lizards came for fun fights thought.
What a chore to get to Dante...but I think I'm close now.

Does anyone know what you have to do to get the trophy Obedience Training? I just randomly got it just now, but I have no idea what I did to get it.

I don't get this starring thing at all, why is asking me to rate a player I saw nothing of?

Also, was mission 3's boss poor or is it just me?

Yo so I still am not getting Devil Trigger as my Nero combat music as of mission 13 or so. It's like it only uses it for his first batch of missions. I know people were saying it's maybe a bug (I'm playing on a Pro)? If so has anyone gotten it back? I need the hyyyyyyype back!

Judging by my picture which is me KOing the boss. And the flavor text "without using brute force". I would say its for managing to KO the boss without using SDT.

People say that manually resetting the soundtrack in the Gallery -> Jukebox to have it play Nero's theme for Nero seems to work for them.
