Devil May Cry 5 |OT| It's been 11 years since we last met. Where does the time go? [Now on Xbox Gamepass]

MechaX · Mar 9, 2019

I was about to rant on Mission 14 a little bit, but I was dumb and forgot something very critical about V

Once you have enough of the DT gauge, DT isn't just about using it to pop off with Nightmare for a bit; Griffon and Shadow can do a shit ton of damage if you super charge them with your DT as well

If that's all it takes for you to not purchase the game I very much doubt you were planning on doing so anytime soon. Or you just have incredibly odd,

creepy

priorities. There's a thread for that subject though. Try not to derail the OT.

I literally cannot understand how anyone likes playing as V. It's just button mashing.

ALL the characters can beat the game via button mashing. Only thing I'll agree on is that V's style ranking is seemingly a bit more forgiving than Dante and Nero.

Dphex · Mar 9, 2019

gotta say, i really love the beginning of the game, first the animation with Nero´s Breaker arm, then the titlemenu, the Capcom logo and the credits intro with Devil Trigger...comes off as a game from yesteryear in all the best ways, could run this for hours in a loop :-)

it remembers me of the time of dedicated small video game stores where the newest games ran and when you came in you saw the ""attract mode" till you could get your hands on for yourself to try the game out.

Zomba13 · Mar 9, 2019

Finished it earlier. Loved it. Not too into V, I mean, I'm not good at him but it all felt a little too mashy between trying to keep both of them doing damage and trying to not let V get hit and stuff. It's an interesting concept though. Also Nightmare seemed just not good. Like I thought the Promotion ability would be fun, giving some kind of direct control over it but it's just way too slow and usually DT wore off before I could get to where I wanted.

Dante and Nero were both top tier though. Dante's weapons were all great, not one I didn't like using. and the Devil Breakers with Nero were all pretty good. Yet to user the Pasta Breaker at all though.

Story had plenty of hype moment but the Lady and Trish stuff was super disappointing, especially after DMC4SE with playable Trish and Lady. It's sad (and super odd) with the whole "no planned DLC" stuff seeing as there are some (fairly) easy and solid DLC ideas (playable Lady and Trish just going through the same levels).

Can't wait for Bloody Palace and the inevitable PC mods.

I die quickly if I try that shit on Nero or Dante. I've literally gotten S rank by just slamming two buttons with V.

V feels like you're just mashing and the only real thing to do is positioning.

Mikebison · Mar 9, 2019

Having completely new cutscenes and little skit for every time you call Nico in a mission is a fantastic bit of extra effort. Some of them are really funny too.

Because people who aren't bad at the game don't button mash.

First the Suicide Silence frontman and now this, I can't see myself purchasing this until it's removed, it's a stain on what otherwise looks to be one of the best games Capcom has made in years. It's hard to talk around it.

What scene? You mean delete the sexist garbage? I agree. Remove those scenes and the game would be better for it.

poofynamanama2 said:

I guess the argument is that you can actually get high ranks and survive decently well even when just mashing with V, unlike the other characters. I'm not too bothered personally because I try to play Stylish in order to improve rather than just fill that meter, but to each their own.

Wait, you think it was a bad look for Capcom to try to distance themselves from a musician who solicited nude photos from a minor?

I think that's uh.....I think that's what they call good PR there, the whole "we don't really wanna do business with folks who solicit nudes from minors there", but hey, what do I know?

Shryke · Mar 9, 2019

I'm loving the game so far and I really like playing V! I actually prefer him over Nero. Dante feels great once I got used to the styles.

TheCthultist · Mar 9, 2019

So as someone who avoided any spoilers and even most of the trailers that involved Dante, let me just say that Balrog is far and away the coolest surprise in the entire game thus far and is all I ever want to use from now on. I have never had this much fun with such a stylish weapon before.

Well, there was hardly 100% consensus on that being a controversial topic prior to the release of the documentary and there are plenty of other MJ references/homages all over media for obvious non-malicious reasons. Not that I have any intention of defending it if others have a problem with that scene of course, I hear ya. Thought definitely crossed my mind while playing.

Hahahaaaaa just you wait! This game... <3

Dahbomb · Mar 9, 2019

Yeah there is no way they are going to remove the Hat scene. It's genuinely an awesome moment in the game with a lot of love and detail put into it plus introduces a core game play mechanic into the game. Plus they made this game quite long before the documentary was released.

Odeko · Mar 9, 2019

I just beat the first boss mission (mission 6 I think?) without getting hit on the first try and it felt phenomenal. I got the last notch of its health just wailing on the weak spot with the buster arm and I had just the biggest smile on my face.

The game is incredible so far.

Majukun · Mar 9, 2019

How do you switch between kick and punch mode with Balrog?

Dan L · Mar 9, 2019

I love this game, Having such a blast on mission 14.
I do wish they treated the female characters better, it's a shame 2019 still has this sexist stuff in the game. It would be better without it and better female representation.

poofynamanama2 · Mar 9, 2019

After seeing how Lady and Trish are treated in DMC4SE and DMC5 cutscenes, I kinda think Itsuno is a bit of a creep

No. You interpreted that completely wrong.

And of course they couldn't have seen this coming, that doesn't mean they shouldn't do something about it.

Also I want to note I don't expect this to happen like, within the next week or something. It's really unfortunate. I just can't ignore it.

Bummed about the bug with the music. Wonder if some reviewers that mentioned the music being soso had the same bug. Kills a lot of the killer flow unfortunately.

I can think of ways it could be worse:

Capcom announces changes to planned R Kelly spin-off DLC for DMCV.

Yeah let's hope DMC5 is enough to keep him around. Bayonetta 2 (and the realities of game development vs what games are marketable) made him quit gaming essentially, lmao. Can't blame him.

Yog-Sothoth said:

Recent documentary providing further evidence that MJ may in fact have been a pedophile.

sn00zer · Mar 9, 2019

DMCV is fine... Pretty disappointed overall. I'm going into the final mission and found most the game just kind of fine. The level design is really kinda boring. Outside of some neat little areas like the library there are just really long sequences of nothing hallways or very similar demony areas. Combat is excellent obviously, but the story felt weaker overall.
The story is just kinda bad. I like simple game stories but there doesn't feel like a clear enough drive forward. And the Revelations are just kinda...eh.
I did like all the DMC1 stuff peppered throughout, but really just kinda feel flat about it overall.
Also it easily has the best combat in the series so I'm conflicted

Yeah, Balrog is fantastic. I love the stance switching, the "fired up" effect and all those the combos. It feels really easy to hit SSS rank with that weapon by itself.

Totally agree. I love the combat obviously. Just wish the rest of the game lived up to my expectations.

Cliff Steele · Mar 9, 2019

My game is also missing all announcements on PC. I'm getting the feeling this has to do with the Deluxe DLC not being installed.

rahji · Mar 9, 2019

Just did my first Dante mission and oh Lord he has a lot of possibilities. Just a lot of stuff to try and to experiment with. Calling it a day now, that game is tough to play for more than 3 hours.
