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
Finished my first playthrough. I wish every boss was as challenging as the final two fights in this game. Hopefully on Son of Sparda they will be.
Nero <3
The story gets really weird after such a promising start, I don't know what Itsuno smoke when he thought people would cry at the end. I'll still take any bullshit that gives me such a cool ass fight, so it's fine, but DMC3 still has the best story by a mile.
Can't wait to start Son of Sparda tomorrow.

I got her saying that to me but I still got the post credits cutscenes so I dunno.
That's what it's supposed to mean I think, but I still saw the extra scenes at the end when she told me that. That was on my SOS playthrough, though, so I don't know if that changed anything.
Story spoilers I guess [end game]
so what's the deal? Vergil split his demon and human side in two to use V as a distraction while demon boy went to eat an apple. But the twist is V was meant to then reclaim the demon , now more powerful because he ate the fruit?
So why are Dante and Vergil chums after he tried to become demon lord of all? What am I missing?

V is pretty straightforward. I don't understand the confusion around him.
Cat has a stinger, a launcher, two ways to juggle, an aoe that launches and juggles, three different combos, and a long piercing attack.
Bird has a stinger that launches and three different aoe attacks.
He's not complicated but there's enough to work with that just mashing is of course going to make him feel frustrating because you are underutilizing him

I did it on mission 8 as well, but it just gives you the same thing, which I was gutted about.
Hit the scissors with your sword when the Sin attacks, then one shot from a firearm should insta kill it
Finished it today, just under 12h, man I'm old, compared to teenage me blasting through DMC4 back in 2008 with S rank on almost all the missions, I used up like 3 gold orbs in the last couple of fights...Gonna play through it a couple of times on higher difficulties.
It's a nice conclusion to Dante's story, with a nice opening for a return in upcoming sequels (there's no way Capcom is not gonna bank on this further).
Yea it goes full anime in mission 20 for some reason, the theme song/emotional weight comes from fuckin nowhere. The dialogue in the fight is sick as hell tho.
realising that there's attacks with delays because while they're in startup you're meant to be inputting other commands was a godsend. I use the Round Robin and Spike so much now
I finished my first playthrough on Saturday and haven't had the time to play much since so I'll sum up my thoughts so far...
- The campaign, unlike DMC4, feels more or less like a complete package. It doesn't feel like content was cut, or that there was padding added.
- On a technical side, the graphics are stellar. Character models look insane but the environments themselves often lack personality. They're pretty dull, even when compared to DMC3 and 4.
- Way too many long loading screens on PS4. That's my biggest complaint, honestly.
- Devil Hunter is really easy, outside of a few bosses (and even then, they're easy if you aren't stubborn like me and decide to use the gold orbs the game hands out).
- Some aspects of Dante still overwhelm me like in DMC4 but easy of his individual weapons felt a lot more fully-functioned than they did in 4 so I like that you can lower your loadout to 3 swords and 3 guns.
- I personally haven't tried the Faust Hat much. Kind of put off by the red orb usage so I'll have to look into the weapon in The Void.
- Speaking of which, The Void is a great feature. There's still a few things missing in it, like being able to summon multiple enemies at once, but it's good that they added it.
- I love how Nero changes towards the end, but I wish the old charge shot didn't return. Now I'm gonna get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...
- I love how they changed Royal Guard to be more forgiving, while still being very satisfying to use. I loved using it on Vergil.
- SDT miiiight be a bit too OP, and I doubt it'll lead to any cool tech. Not a bad inclusion though. From a narrative standpoint, it was awesome!
- Helter Skelter seems... underwhelming.
- V's gameplay is something I'm a bit mixed about. I still don't know what my button layout should be. Help me out, Dahbomb!
- The music during the final boss is incredible.
- I got more invested in the story than I thought I would. It's not all well executed, but there's some strong moments, no doubt.
- Itsuno's got some answering to do in regards to Lady and Trish. They don't get any action scenes and are left being literally butt naked for some pathetic fanservice. Lady is bae and she deserves better than some incel-tier shit.
- The special taunts in the shop being 3 million red orbs each is some bullshit. MTX might not have been too big of a deal with this game, but those prices are a clear result of them.
- Finding the Secret Missions is gonna be a pain.
- Balrog is the best new weapon, imo.
So yeah, awesome game. Hopefully I'll get to play it a lot more soon!

Ok cool. Lying ass Nico. I guess that wraps up my DH playthrough. This is easily the best DMC yet, story aside. I'm starting SoS immediately after relaxing with some Nico notes.
Man I wanted to love this game so much but I'm having such a hard time pushing through. I'm on mission 14 I think? I guess I was hoping it would be more than hallways leading to arenas, but DMC is about the combat, I know.
The characters are top notch though, and the RE engine makes this thing look and play so well.

Yeah I had to do a full mission restart to fix it. But Yeah, quitting the game and retrying the checkpoint did nothing.
There are a few extra spots that are easier to get to with triple jump as well. Though they can still be gotten in the first run.
Just say they're stylish so they get points.
In some instances you can see them, but in others their combat rating is displayed under their name on the left. So you know if they're fighting poorly or well.
To answer your earlier post about the game not being as fun out of the gate as you thought, that's the nature of these games. DMCV in particular is very easy on Devil Hunter. The next difficulty up has more difficult enemies and much improved enemy placement with higher level enemies. The combat also opens up a lot late game, and for Nero in particular, he unlocks major stuff at the very end. Once you have the moves that come late game and the higher difficulties, the game is way better. It's one of those games that's far far better on the second time through. They're meant to be played over and over again. It's not a one and done story type of game. Once you beat it, make sure to give the first few levels a go with the new abilities for Nero and to see how the enemies are, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much better it is.
My take on it was that it was the plan all along. He was withering and dying, so he separated himself to get rid of his weakness. The demon part of him would then do what he couldn't while in that weakened state... amass power with human sacrifice to obtain the fruit. Once the fruit was eaten by the demon half, this made him strong enough to overcome the weakness of his human side. So re-merging restored him to his previous, healthy self.
I'm just starting out, and really struggling to grasp the hang of this thing. Can't seem to get higher than a B , and I end up just mashing buttons since I can't keep all the moves in my head. I keep wanting to play this like Bayonetta and it's throwing me off.
Bird should always be laying down lasers and lightning bolts or being an aoe Round Robin trap waiting to happen.
Just tapping the button for his rapid fire attack is an absolute waste.
What do you do with the weird all 4s tank guys that have a big ass arm coming out of their back and throw the little eyeball bombs? Feel like I'm missing something when I fight them. They have so much health!
but that was the extent of his plan, right? To get healthy and not destroy the world? He just had to cut the tree down once he did?
Stuff like this is why Itsuno's team is number one. Amazing.
Yeah but it does make sense though. It's the same outcome.
Sweet, I'll be on the lookout for higher places in case I missed some.
Don't worry about it, just play on.
You have a very limited arsenal in the beginning so it is much harder to style. Once you get more moves it will get much easier and more satisfying.
Are we official past the point of not givin a shit about spoilers now, cause i got some sexy shit for yall
The legend joins the combo scene
Does anyone ever use it? its implementation is so clunky.
