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
Agreed. The Quilphoth roots are great for teaching you how to deal with Urizen, but they're really dull on replays. I imagine Nidhogg will become as dull as 3's Leviathan heart with Nero ad Dante. Gilgamesh feels like it was created purely for the trailers. At least one and done players get a nice does of spectacle out of it though I guess.
Now make one with Dante doing a backflip with shotgun. The input is gunstinger and while he slides forward press jump.
Thank you. This is a fucking banger.
Have they released the official OST anywhere? Would love to get it on my amazon music. But I'd settle for paying for it digitally.
Anyone else just feel completely overwhelmed? Im being chucked shit loads of new arms, buying loads of new move sets .... and just as I feel like I'm getting to grips with them, they chuck a new character my way, and his combat feel's completely different and more detached. Miss the simplicity of the 1st game compared.
You are not supposed to learn all of that in one playthrough.
This depth will last you for a very, very long time and that's the whole point.
This game animation is amazing.The animation in this game is just amazing, I could make gifs forever.
This has to be best animated game ever made.
And as a bonus, there's virtually no clipping in the game as far clothing and the hair goes. It's too good.
I recommend looking at a move in the shop, trying it in the void, and just use the void to fuck around with one weapon. That really helped me understand all of their ins and outs.
They had the actors re-record the audio/ADR after the performance capture shoot. Instead of using the audio captured the sessions. They've actually done this for DMC3 and 4, having the actors watch the mocap and try to match the tone:
I actually think it's some of the most onpoint animation and that the poor ADR work brings it down a little. There are even some instances where it's clear they changed a line or two and the animation doesn't match because it was an earlier version of the scene.
There's probably some ADR involved but that one example looked 1:1 to me.
I'm actually playing DMC4 right now and just unlocked Gilgamesh. Was so hyped as I loved Ifrit in the first game and the moveset with Gilga is very similar...but something does feels off. Like its too slow and the reach isn't there. Or the enemies you face aren't taken into great consideration with it? Hard to say yet as I am still getting the feel for it, but I'm not immediately enjoying it as much as I thought.
Lots of whiffs, lots of overshooting foes, you can't easily break out of a standard combo once the game even slightly recognizes you may have held a button to start a charge(even if I didn't). The charged uppercut does feel awesome though, but even Kick-13 isn't as crazy feeling here as in DMC1.
Rebellion is stupid fun though. Also, I'm like never switching off Swordmaster, which makes me think I'm approaching some encounters wrong? I dunno. Trickster doesn't seem very useful given I can evade handily without the dodge and my moveset is like cut in half for it. Guns? I...don't get why I would need this outside of showing off? Royal Guard seems great to master, but I'm having more fun with Swordmaster on my first play...so fuck the other three forms?
Try Enemy Step, it lets you jump cancel off enemies.
So get an enemy in the air, do a few hits with an air combo and then jump cancel (hit jump as a hit connects) to reset your air time and air combo. Rinse and repeat.

Cavalliere and mash Triangle in the air while hitting enemies.
I feel like I was one of the least optimistic people about V, and now I end up lovin him way more than most people
He needs bosses/the harder enemies to make him shine. And hes the most frustrating for casuals cause his execution is complicated since

- Parry with V requires strict timing
- Parrying with shadow requires set up most the time
- Promotion requires a ton of insight into enemy behavior to be worthwhile
- Dodging moves shadows and cancels charges
- Double jump moves lil chicky and cancels charges
- Air trick can only be done once without jump cancelling, meaning you have to use chain executions for multiple fast kills
- Chain executions requires different timing for each animation, and there are alot of them unique to each enemy
- AOE executions require good positioning
- You need to be constantly reading the book for good play, and that requires knowing good spacing.
IMO
- Roots is just an exceed tutorial, not sure what that isn't skipable in later playthroughs.
- Nidhogg hes a great tutorial/skill check for V. Like you want to do chain executions on the heads to stop nidhogg coming down and harassing you, then you want to summon nightmare for optimal damage. When nidhoggs attacking you, you can counter with the summons its really cool.
- I think gilgasmesh is suppose to be a tutorial boss to get you using charge shots, snatch, and movement attacks in the air...but god dam is he boring. Especially on DMD since during the extra phase he has devil trigger, and is just ridiculously tanky
One thing I wish was that the game didn't force you to play characters you don't want to. I would much rather play as Nero throughout than V or Dante. I think separate campaigns for each might have been a better idea - switching between them breaks up the "flow" if you know what I mean.
This one was actually really easy to cheese. I just jumped once then repeatedly used the back triangle attack with the motorycycle, then one or two normal attacks, then repeat the cycle over and over til you notice you are starting to fall down. Once you begin to fall from doing this jump one more time (swap to trickster if you need the air dash also to reach them) to the flying enemy in the middle and spam the long back triangle move with the motorcycle again and you will spend the 15 seconds in the air.
To be honest I have no idea when in the animation I'm supposed to hit B/O again
It worked. Cavaliere was the missing key to the puzzle. I was doing all sorts of stuff in trickster. It's funny cause the thumbnail for the mission has Dante holding the Cavaliere and I totally ignored that.
Just finished it. DmC was better. Better level design, exploration, more varied environments, better boss fights and soundtrack
God damn, I'm at mission 18 and this game really feels like a massive celebration of the series. Which also gives me the feeling that it's building up to be its last, but screw it, I'm hooked.
jumping dante to trickster level 4 for the teleports; i knew hoarding orbs as V was a good idea.
I mean yea that's one of the better scenes in the game but unless i'm mistaken they do that for every scene.
Is this your first DMC game? If so then don't worry about getting high ranks on your first playthrough. They'll come naturally after some practice.
Start on Devil Hunter mode as it's normal mode. Only switch down to Human if the game is too difficult for you. Human is so easy that it might not be engaging even if you have no experience with the series.
Buy air hike (the double jump) ASAP.
You sound angry. Maybe try eating a snickers instead of pounding on the keyboard.
Beat the first few missions and loving it so far. These facial animations are crazy. Combat feels great. Only problem I have are the voices are so damn low even maxed out.
Pretty much everything about this game is fantastic. What a great return for DMC.
Also one of my favourite steelbooks this gen too.

DMD was always hell, especially DMC3. DMC4 was cheesable with Dante's DRI and Nero's charged shot.
DmC was lol because the game was easy from design standpoint.

if your tv is like mine, Game Mode actually adds lag so I leave it off.
I'm enjoying this game so much more now that I'm playing as Dante. Just so much more fun to play as.
After a few hours I can say that's more of the same to be honest. The combat is stellar, but story, storytelling, level and enemy design goes from average to weak. It's exactly the same cons and pros from past games in the series.
Stomach and Arkham were both great.
Give some love to Artemis.
Not necessarily overwhelmed, but rather annoyed by now (I think Mission 9). I think "bloat" is the word I would throw at the game for now.
Cavalier, Gunslinger w/ Ebony, and pray. That's how I did it. Air Hike surprisingly didn't help much.
Made a slow mo clip to show ya.
You see that blue particle effect that appears after you pull out the cane? Thats your window
I dont know why the description for Vs stuff is so misleading or vague.
Are there some sort of counter frames to summoning the bird/cat? Because I've never seen them.
