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
Just finished the game. Absolutely marvelous and CapGod yet delivers once again. I was very skeptical of Nero, but I ended up really loving him in this game.
Game is close to perfection, but it has two major issues that I need them to fix to make this game much better
1- let me play as any character I want for entire playthrough.
2- let me switch devil breakers with d-pad
Also V sucks
That's it I'm not asking for more
I rate this Godsend game S savage/10
With playable Vergil it will be SS sick skills/10
I'm so in love with this game and I can't wait to do a SOS run next week.

It's dumb and annoying, but the series has always done this. Same with blue fragments and whatnot.
Actually, Bayonetta did it too.
Exactly how I feel. I've been a gaming rut for months but DMCV has reignited my passion for the hobby. Feels so good to play something other than an open world mtx filled cash grab.
There is some really, really clunky dialogue. Nico, you cant call Griffon chicken 3 sentences in a row.
I thought I was gonna do this, but Cavalier was too much fun and I couldn't give up Balrog either.
So for most of the game I had 3 weapons and 2 guns (E&I and K.Ann)
Here's a quick video I just made
Hahah. Whoops. Thanks for this.
I'm on Mission 11 and have been avoiding DMC threads in case of accidental spoilers, but glad I peeked in and saw this. I feel like I've just been spazzing with them.
I probably need to re-think my button config for him too, and put one of the two on a shoulder.
Beat it before reading this, but this is good to know for the future (...if I can pull that off)
Can't deny the fights quality, as painful a learning experience as it was for me.
Bayonetta 2 fixed it tho.
Hopefully they patch it and make it similar to Bayo 2 in that regard.
Same, I had all 4 on during the first play through but moving forward I can't see myself not using sword/Balrog/Cavalier at a minimum.
From guns, I found myself not using anything aside from K. Ann after getting it. The normal shot is great and the charge shot is so beefy.
Used a yellow orb to finish off Gilgamesh after getting nuked by his new phase, game gave me 7 new breakers lmao. Yet they can't refund me on death/retry checkpoint. Mmmhm
Finished it early this morning.
In terms of gameplay, I think I need to experiment more to fully appreciate Dante, but he was loads of fun even without top much experimentation. I have to say though, I am kind of disappointed in his weapon selection.
Nero was just awesome- love the new breaker system, and there wasn't really a breaker I didn't like. Love, love, love, that he
He's pretty much perfection, imo. I didn't feel the need to be able to switch breakers on the fly, as that might have been too much, though I think it's an improvement they could make for the sequel.
V was...interesting. He had the best taunts and I loved Griffon as a character, but I can't really get the hang of his gameplay. Again, more experimentation is needed.
Story-wise, I thought the whole thing fell apart after
All-in-all, I still like DMC3/DMCSE the best, though this does beat DMC4/DMC4SE, for me, and I actually really liked DMC4SE.

I feel like we got three swords that are just re-skins of each other (Rebellion, Sparda, and Devil Sword Dante), even if DSD has a couple of different moves from the other two, they're still Rebellion moves we've seen before (Drive/Overdrive etc.), and I would have preferred some more unique weapons and some returning weapons.
I really like King Cerberus, but I feel like with that they opened up a can of worms, as it made me just want to see revamped versions of weapons like specifically Agni and Rudra and Nevan. Imagine A&R with a dual blade stance and Nevan with a scythe stance. That would be amazing. Am I alone in wanting this?
I'm a little confused as to why they didn't bother to bring in more returning weapons. I realize that Dante sold all his old weapons, but he could have either met demons within that same species (as I can see how there could be more than one of a demon like Nevan, who is basically a succubus) or re-acquired them in Red Grave, either via Nico or bring in Enzo (as Agni and Rudra, iirc, were never officially sold to someone, and they were just waiting to be sold). If A&R and Nevan were in this game, new and improved, it might top DMC3 for me, as I still feel that game had the best weapon selection. I think they're unique enough that if they were in this game they would only add to it, and wouldn't feel like duplicates.
There's no need to bring back any of the gauntlets though, as Balrog is pretty much the perfect synthesis of all the gauntlets. Cavalier I need to experiment a bit with some more, but when I used it, it was fun.
I haven't experimented with Faust yet because I wanted to save my Red Orbs and I'm not confident at this stage I can do the risk/reward thing. The Kalina Anns are both pretty awesome, and E&I and Coyote are pretty sweet as well.
Ability-wise, I was hoping Free Ride and Wild Stomp would make a return, I miss those.

Nero was just awesome- love the new breaker system, and there wasn't really a breaker I didn't like. Love, love, love, that he
gets the Devil Bringer/Buster back and has a DT.
V was...interesting. He had the best taunts and I loved Griffon as a character, but I can't really get the hang of his gameplay. Again, more experimentation is needed.

Vergil came back. I just don't get his motives. Like, V as a character gave me the impression that he was going to regret his actions and be redeemed, but in the end Vergil just seems like his old self and doesn't really seem to have any character development. Why does he fight Dante in the end? Like, at the end of DMC3 he had a reason- he wanted more power- but why fight him now? What does he gain? I thought his experiences as V would cause him to respect his brother a little more and not have the urge to pointlessly fight him, but I guess not. And why bother fighting Nero? It just didn't really make any sense to me, and it seemed like Vergil was the final boss because "reasons".
Also, are Dante and Vergil ever planning on coming back? Nero seems to imply it's impossible for them to come back, but Trish and Lady seem to imply it IS possible to an extent, as they're left wondering at the end if Dante's coming back. Vergil has Yamato, so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to come back via portal cut. Idk how I'd feel if they remain in the Underworld. On the one hand, I feel like power-level-wise, it makes sense for them to only deal with the cosmic/strongest-of-the-strong threats, but on the other hand, I want more interaction between them and all the characters. What are people's thoughts on whether or not they will return?
Going forward, I do wonder if in DMC6, Nero is going to be the solo campaign and Dante/Vergil will be some kind of co-op campaign.

I played through on demon hunter first time and figured out the final boss decently quick. Not as clever a solution like the spoiler gif above though. As I just dodged for that whole part.
Balrog kick mode's dive kick made the second half of the fight a lot easier to get in for the hits.

She alternates between chicken and little chicky. Love it.
Just finished it on DH and this is more or less exactly what I wanted. I have zero complaints aside no playable Vergil.
Also I am now confident to say I enjoy Nero more than Dante both as a character and as a playstyle.
I will try to S rank remaining missions and clear more difficulties until Sekiro hits.
Capcom is 100000% back.

Just finished mission 12, GOOD LORD.
This is some end game bullshit, goddamn. That hat cutscene.

also for people looking for tips on V, remap Griffon to L2. I had Griffon on L2 and Shadow on Circle. Basically just combod with shadow while constantly charging Griffon with L2
Even once you have his shit down though...hes still really boring compared to Dante and Nero...I feel like his playstyle would be a lot mroe fun in a slower paced RPG game. Like Folklore with his controls wouldve been good.

Damnit, I can't believe I forgot about that during the fight lol.
It's what I used against him in DMC3.
So I'm assuming you're playing with the tutorial off since you didn't know that.
You should turn it on. There are two instances in the game where you are told key control functions that you wouldn't see if you have the tutorial off.
One of the smartest things they have done is put the two final boss fights in two separate missions that have nothing but those boss fights. Perfect for re-plays.
Non of that Bayo locking the best boss fight in the game behind a fucking harrier section bullshit.

Yeah looking back on 4, I realize that part of the reason why I didn't like juggling 3 weapons is that Gilgamesh and Lucifer were frankly not very fun to use.
Got my own ghost data and you could just see me experimenting with raw hide combos from when i first got it xD
On DH? I wouldnt bother you will learn bad habits
I went into a boss fight with very little health and no gold orbs. It left me in a difficult situation because I really didn't want to buy gold orbs, but I ended up doing that and now they have went right up in price. If it becomes a problem again I think I'm going farm red orbs on chapter 16 like crazy.
Screw MTX, though, really sucks we have them in a DMC game.
That one is not bad on DH. Just avoid getting hit and it should come pretty easy. You can stay on Trickster the whole time really.
To be frank, I prefer Itsuno over Kamiya because he doesn't stick overlong minigames in his work.
I have the tutorials on, just got confused for a sec.
Game is really good at explaining things and also puts everything into the tutorial menu, I really like it.
Time to hit The Void!
Man I was trying to complete secret mission 7 by using balrog to destroy the scissors and I accidentally killed the enemy in one hit and beat the mission with it lmao.
Balrog is so ridiculous at parries it doesn't really matter to me. Dante makes the hardest enemies in the game pretty much fodder with the rapid punches.
This was me in mission 19 (or whatever the penultimate mission was). I died like 4 times. He just eats a huge chunk of your health bar if you get touched, and I was getting a little salt lol. I should go back and re-do it because all the shit that happens afterward is hype as fuck and I wasted it by being salt.
just hold royal guard
also go into the void to practice against specific enemies. I did that with nero and the Sonic the hedgehog guys (chaos) to find the best way to deal with them. and found shooting them while theyre spinning slows them down and you can attack them and break their spikes. nice way to find different tricks for certain enemies
I'm pretty biased on DSD since I've been screaming for Aerial Rave to be a base move since 4, but with that said I think the extra tools you get with swordmaster now offer much more.
Plus this:
The punch hitbox is wild, I got a parry from an enemy jump attacking BEHIND me while I single jabbed an enemy in front of me. Also Kick mode breakdance has given me so many incidental parrys, it's ridiculous.
Is that the one that teleports? When it raises its claw, start spamming Balgrog punch mode punches, you can parry the attack
Quoted for truth. I can't get enough of games that give back what you put in. Every moment I play I feel like I'm getting better at the combat and the more I learn the more I realize how high the skill ceiling is.
That said, I still suck. Coming from spending a ton of time playing Bayonetta (this is my first DMC) I'm having to unlearn sooooooo much tech. XD
Only just done mission 9 and after initially being blown away I'm on the fence.
-Amazing game play, yet forces you to use a character who is garbage spam that doesn't fit with this game at all.
-Enemy variety is fine, but game is too easy on the initial devil hunter.
-Bosses so far haven't been great. When I saw that Neo angelo thing, I thought YES some virgil level boss shit, yet it was just a regular slow enemy.
-Story sucks so far, not to mention the stupid time skips.
-Mixed on Nero. Personality seems a copy of Dante now.
While better than 1, that had a better story and atmosphere going for it.
Just isn't as good as 3, I guess no DMC will ever be.
4s bosses mostly sucked, but there were a few decent ones, so far DMC5 bosses have been shit, but I have only finished mission 9.
I just feel like they've replaced backtracking with repeatedly running through the same area from a different angle; ultimately I am enjoying the game, so I guess that's what counts.

I finished the game and feel like I can mostly agree with you. The bosses however do get better. Game is overall great but it still leaves me wanting a lot. Playable Trish and Lady would make up for everything though.
What you noticed with the levels definitely stood out to me, and just overall there is a nearly complete lack of interesting areas. A few places where the Qliphoth has merged with the town are neat, but thats about it.
This just reminded me of how at the start of the game it's like "wow, Nico just made smoking look rad!"
And then moments later via disclaimer
Capcom: "no it really isn't, it's lame I swear!"
