Just played the demo for the first time, and was in awe.
I am now downloading the full game on my Xbox One X right now.
Damn Capcom! First RE 7, then RE2 and now this? Insane! All my money for you guys.

I am a little bit scared though, I had no real idea of what I was doing and I refuse to play in an assist mode.

Wait, people are seriously saying they're not going to play it because of the Faust Hat scene? It's a fucking dance, not some commentary on what sort of person MJ was...

Regarding that one scene, there was actually an interview that had this tidbit about the origins of the idea for that scene:

has anyone been able to S rank Mission 10 on Devil Hunter?

I don't know what I'm missing here, even getting an SSS combo on each fight still ends the mission with an A...

I'm confused about playing as V, using Goliath. Do I control Goliath at all? Or does he just come in and wreck shit, and then leave? I see that you can upgrade him with combos, but those attacks are with the O button on PS4.

I'm confused.

It's automatic, you don't have control over him. there is an upgrade, though that lets V ride him and manually perform combos with him.

To control him you need to jump on his back. Otherwise he just does what he wants.

You can buy an upgrade that lets you jump on it's back and manually control it. It's in V's abilities tab on the upgrade screen.

Man I'm not good at this. Not getting S ranks in fights very often. Had one mission at S rank only so far.

As a first time DMC player, the dodging is just not really my thing.

At least I'm having fun, but cant help but feel bad about not playing very well.

I just finished mission 12, obviously the combat is great but yeah the environments are really lacking.

DMC4 had some amazing architecture and vistas and the enemies had a great "fallen angel" vibe. This is just demon-infested everything. Blood and blades and growths everywhere.

I did it in the end. I honestly can't tell you what I did differently really on the final attempt to the 5 or so before it other than try to get hit less and maintain your S+ rank through each battle once you get it. Utilize your DT as even though you get hit you get to maintain your ranking a bit better than without it activated. When I viewed the ranking page at the end the three main encounters had skill scores of 4200/4400 give or take but the 1.20 bonus pushed it over the 5000 threshold. If I had did it without taking a single hit I'd have smashed it but the mission started to piss me off a bit that I didn't concentrate to that level lol.

I've S ranked nearly every mission on DH but that one is still the absolute worst. The choice of enemies and DH's easy difficulty are not a good combination for keeping enemies alive (as odd as that sounds). :/

If you're having fun, then it's gonna come naturally :)
I was a scrub at DMC4 (it was my first) and I ended up getting S on every mission, difficulty and Bloody Palace. I got 1000G's on 360 :)

When new to any character action series you should never worry about rankings. You'll have plenty of time to improve them once you've beaten the game and have a better grasp on the mechanics and more abilities at your disposal (everything you buy carries back to previous missions).

I fucking love playing as Nero. I would happily take a game where he's the only playable character throughout a whole game. Dante's my OG baby but Nero feels so right. I would have zero complaints.

Played the first two missions, I'm having a lot of fun with this but still need to get the dodge timing down. This feels like classic Devil May Cry especially tonally. I love Nero and Nico so far.

Never going to be able to see V as anything but Emo Adam Driver, though.

I made it to mission 11 in one sitting. Man, the game is really fun and I love the way the story is told through the various characters. The graphics are stunning as well (RE Engine is a beast), I don't get the complaints. My only gripe so far is the somewhat lukewarm environments, the game could use a bit more variety in that regard.

Getting my V options out of the way asap. He is so wack compared to Nero n Dante. High key I hope when we get to DMC6, alternative characters are just unlockables, because I'd prefer a 20 mission run of just a tricked out Nero or a tricked out Dante. That said game bangs. That battle theme for the Cavalier boss? Ooooooooooo

Also running it strictly with Royalguard on which makes it feel even better. The synergy there is just incredible and feels so natural in the way it all flows together.
GOD I'm too tired to play more tonight but it's really hard to resist after reading something like this... hnnnnngh.

Tbh I kinda thought to myself .... Man, what bad timing. All because of that hbo documentary. But I don't think they should patch it out or anything. Just unfortunate timing.
I know what you mean but, assuming the allegations are true, the documentary isn't the cause of the problem here - it's that dude being a friggin' pedophile :P


The "I can't stay in S-Rank" bug, perhaps? ;)

Wait, people are seriously saying they're not going to play it because of the Faust Hat scene? It's a fucking dance, not some commentary on what sort of person MJ was...

Meh, if someone feels uncomfortable playing a game featuring that they are well within their rights to both complain about it and not purchase the game. Maybe there will be a mod on PC that removes it, or I guess one could skip the cutscene if they know when it plays? I think there's zero chance Capcom will patch it out either way.

Ive been watching some HDR Xbox One X videos on Youtube and this game looks damn impressive. The quality of games released over the past few months (aside from Anthem) has been crazy.

I know this game isn't gonna hold hands for combos but damn Dantes kit feels overwhelming compared to Nero's.

I guess I could do the same combo like I've always done since DMC1 but what fun is that?

Aaah, the good old days of Stone ranks on every single verse in Bayonetta 1.

Just got it. Used only the balrog. It's weird, it wasn't even my best run, got BAA in the 3 areas. Glad that's over lol.

What I did is I just chose two weapons I liked and ignored the rest. Even with just a subsection of his kit Dante feels great.

After finishing the game I changed the controls for the first time in a DMC game...

because I kept breaking arms when trying to activate Nero's DT.

I don't think there's anything wrong with starting out with DMC5 to be honest. Might even be interesting to play the old ones afterwards to get more context for the story etc instead? Not sure since I obviously didn't experience in that way myself, but it could be cool :P

Can't go wrong either way!

just finished it. Wow. blew away all my expectations. It's the sequel to DMC 4 that i've been waiting 10 years for.

I didn't expect them to do go all the way, both in terms of gameplay and story.

environmental variety is the only real negative. everything sorta looks the same. But the level design is way less frustrating, so i'm happy about it overall.

My favourite DMC game, and one of my favourite games of all time.
