I'm playing the DMC series for the first time. I was starting with 3, but found it really difficult. So I'm just gonna play 4 and 5. Will I miss anything super important?

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
Half of the times I'm doing good against a boss on my first try they seem to go HAM when they have a smidgen of health left and suddenly I'm dead, each time I then succumb to "fuck it, golden orb" I then get up and they die like a second later.
Hollowest of victories.
Still finding evading spotty against these bigger boss foes right now, just did mission 15 and I felt in that stage boss' case I personally needed Gerbera to get any sort of attacking and evading done reliably.

Geez starting to sound like a hardware issue at that rate. Running any overclocks?
do you lose any stylish points if you just go to the menu and restart the checkpoint?
or at the end of the mission? like do you lose the "no continue" bonus?
Because it would quite usefull for bosses instead or restarting the whole mission

Which version of 3? If it was the original non special edition version on ps2 then that had japanese hard renamed to normal. Making it insane for new players.
Theres a bunch of tutorials listed in the opening post of this thread. Not sure about Dante and parties tho...
DMC1 will always be worth playing. despite it's age. DMC3 evolved the series combat into the deep stylish action we have now, and establishes the feud between the Sons of Sparda, along with introducing Lady. DMC4 introduces Nero and Dante's on the fly Style Switching and will get you set for the combat of 5.
DmC you can play if you want to as a point of reference, but I wouldn't recommend it personally.
Finished the game. I had a ton of fun with it, though the ending left me a bit cold.
Personally, I found Dante the most fun to play as, with V a close second; Nero just never clicked with me, despite his character concept being even cooler than expected, mechanically. Definitely will echo the criticism that the game lacked a bit in the environment department -- it's just conceptually not on par with environments in previous games, in my opinion. Visually, though, it's spectacular, and there is a very meaty game here. Not sure if I'll give Son of Sparda mode a go or not.

i am at the last two missions on Son of Sparda now, i really don´t like the bossfights in this game which is a shame, Devil May Cry was always about cool bosses, the bosses in this game here are just not good imo, i don´t really enjoy fighting them, the cool feeling is not really there.
All of your impressions sound incredible, buy my deluxe edition copy has yet too arrive. So meanwhile I'm still polishing some basic skills with the ps4 demo.
One thing I can't seem to get right is the timing for the charged up bullets on the Blue Rose, I hold square and let go just as Nero's arm glows, but I always waste that first shot. How can I keep all three of them stored?

difficulty changes enemy placements and stuff like that, so you gotta start from scratch
It's not necessary to get S ranks, like, you don't need to bother with that. Try to look for blue orb fragments throughout the level, several are hidden. There are also secret missions you can complete to gather orb fragments. Four fragments equals to a full orb.
You can dodge with regular jump as well, it has invincible frames on startup like any other dodge. Ditto for dodging in the air with a double jump
Cleaver enemies aggro and rush at you and can't be stunned after you knock them down. Their rush can be avoided with a regular jump, if you have double jump it's even easier. Then they calm down.
The style meter is a combination of variety and pure damage output. So if you're dishing a bunch of damage to multiple enemies at once your style meter will increase much faster, whether you're doing something "stylish" or not.
I hope any of this helped!
I don't see why this would matter if you changed the difficulty at the start of a mission, on the customisation screen?
But nevermind, I guess I'll just have to finish it on easy..
Can anyone explain to me what calculation is going on in the left of this image? I assume these numbered areas identify the time between each of the game's ave points given the pictures. But I definitely got more than 4000+ style points in each of those segments but for some reason it's saying I didn't.
Do I have to actively engage in every battle to get these numbers up to S rank?
Mission 8 is the first mission where this has become a weird issue for me.
Am I missing something or is there no way to change your devil breaker during gameplay? I've tried every single button on Xbox One.
Still haven't finished the game, but went back to mission 1 with Nero and holy fuck, how much fun it is to play again once you've mastered almost all the skills, juggling fools with Max act while "Devil Trigger" plays in the background. It really pumps you up!
You can detach the current one and go to the next in the queue with LB, but the only way to rearrange the order without destroying them is to use the pasta breaker.
Doing way better than I thought I would..maybe it's playing Bloodborne, Nioh, The Surge, Dark Souls 3 in between DMC4 and 5.
Getting to S quick but time to get even more stylish.

Yeah, there are some missions where no battle music plays. I don't know if it's on purpose or it's a bug with the game.
Nero is fun when you start planning out break age attacks.
Which a lot of people aren't doing? Maybe they don't know how?
I'm right there with you. Dante in 4 just felt off to me. The really strict timing on enemy step cancelling things like aerial race or Gilgamesh's killer bee (along with not liking Lucifer or Pandora) really made it hard for me to gel with him after loving him in 3. I also felt like individual weapons felt kind of simple compared to what he had there. Here he's my favorite character however and I LOVE playing as him. Even with more options I'm finding myself frequently swapping weapons and styles with ease and doing things I couldn't do in 4 and enjoying myself.
And I also adore that they gave Lucifer's rose toss to him as an Air Taunt and it functions the same way. What a cool way to incorporate that weapon's most interesting and useful move.
You can press L1
Or perform a break age attack.
So you might as well perform a break age charge.
Trying to beat mission 11 with no weapons. Using only Royal Guard is pretty cool, doing the boss right now, parrying them with RG and this boss music. So good. Never really got too deep into the mechanics of RG in the other games, but I'm really liking it here, feels so badass when you time it right.
Question about something that happens in Mission 5&6:
While fighting Gilgamesh in Mission 6 with Nero, at a certain point the floor breaks and you can see V and Griphon. Griphon says something like "you didn't think you did that all by yourself". I never saw this from V's perspective, so... Did I miss something in V's mission 5? Or is this something they just don't show from V's perspective?
Default is perfectly fine.
I think it's on purpose, and I'm glad that the same dang battle theme doesn't play all the time.
On mission 7 right now. I usually start with human. Game is super easy on human but I mean, I expected that. V is decent fun but a bit of a slog. Graphics are amazing. I haven't had time like others to cruise through this game, busy rl shit, but overall this game is fantastic. I couldn't be more pleased after such a long wait. Nero is such an upgrade from 4 it isn't even fair.
It is tough to sit through the upgrade wait. Maybe I should have bought red orbs. :) With my history alongside DMC, upgrading is just a chore and I hate being limited. If the game was super hard, then fair game. And I'm aware buying is cheap. I just want to have my full arsenal now!
Took me a bit to get my PC stable with vync, graphic, etc... tweaks. Lag on PC is WAY WAY better than the PS4 demo but maybe the retail release is better on PS4. Had to use variable vsync cause the tearing is awful without but not much lag with variable at all. Good job Nvidia. I may grab the PS4 version at some point but it will be a big adjustment like DMC4SE with the lag. Extra arms from deluxe edition are stupid and I want to find a way to get rid of them. That's all I got for now. I'll take much longer than other people to get combo ready due to lack of time to play, but I can't wait to get into the lab!

There's no such cutscene in V's mission, but you can attack the legs mission prior. I imagine the scene itself takes place directly after V finished up mission 5
Just finished the game...
Amazing. I waited so long and was not disappointed. These movesets. These bossfights! I was slightly worried the game was going to make us go through the same stuff again but was happy to see it's all unique stuff all the way through, and the campaign is very lengthy and full of awesome stuff.
I'm seriously super hyped right now to jump back in for SoS and higher. It's so good to finally have the Nero game with an expanded moveset that really fits the character, as well as the others being totally insane too.
Well done Capcom!

Honestly, just with the (I think) increased amount of frames for executing exceed on recovery, just the basic move set and that forward-melee move has given me enough that I haven't really messed with the breakers much at all. Played all the games, but that lessening of execution really opened him up for me. The rate that they give you new breakers in the first half is pretty wild too, and kind of has me putting them on the burner till I finish the game on normal and can just experiment.
Edit: doesn't answer your question specifically, but once you open up customization for Nero... it's a lot for a middle of the road player. Adding a less consistent system can very easily strangle what they try to do initially.
Dived into Steam Big Picture's controller config menus and finally found a setup I like better for Nero's gun. By mapping shoot to both Square and R2, but setting R2 as a toggle instead of a simple press, I can now keep his gun charged without having to constantly hold down a button. It's way comfier!
