After replaying mission 13 I want Capcom to make a full co-op action DMC game. Throw in some sort of PvP even if it's unbalanced, don't care haha
The game must be broken for me, I've never seen anyone else on that mission with me despite playing it like 5 times with Dante and a few with Nero.

I would really love to see some other players!

What's the best way of attacking those big lizard bois who curl up into spiky wheels? I always want to start evading once they start spinning, but it's like they just wait for me to run out of double jumps and dodges and then just smoke me the moment I land. I think I've been able to knock them out of their spin once or twice, but I don't know how I did it.

Shoot them to slow them down.

Shooting also gives you more air time to avoid them.

breh DMC is like one big game of chicken. You DT stinger into them!

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!
Break the masks off

Man, I need to know more about the "parry" mechanics in this game. An in-depth look at what causes it, because some enemy attacks seem to take precedence. King Cerberus has been the weapon I'm most consistent at parrying attacks with due to its fast but decently strong base attack.

they're shitbags but they stunlock fairly easily surprisingly. they're only dangerous in melee with the swollen arms, don't let them jump at you.

there's some way to fuck them up relating to the masks they wear but i haven't divined that out yet. Sometimes when I fight them I see bits of torn off masks and I'll notice they've fucked off, so IDK, there's some secret to them.

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.

It's hard as hell to avoid just mechanic spoilers atleast with how much the game keeps giving you even after you beat the game. I'm still gonna avoid posting anything overt about the final bosses and stuff though.

I believe breaking the Nobodies mask is what weakens them after theyre arm swells up. Attacking their face should break the mask consistently. It was the same in DMC1, only their entire body swelled when donning the mask, not just their hand.

How do I do that? just attack from each side until I get a reaction?

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?
I would think so, yeah. The part of the story I personally had an issue with was Dante wanting to kill him outright and Vergil wanting to kill Dante. That was never their relationship, they were merely at odds with each other in regards to what was going on in DMC3.

I swear every time I turn on the game or look at other people posting their stuff online... I think of the galaxy brain meme. I am constantly in a state of *Seth Killian mind blown" mode.

This has to be one of the least replay friendly games ever. If you want to repeat a mission it's basically Main menu->mission select-->loading screen-->cutscene-->loading screen-->mission menu-->loading screen-->mission start.

And if you wanna customize it's another two loading screens.

If you fuckup during a mission and want to retart it's Pause--->retry mission-->loading screen-->cutscene-->loading screen-->mission menu-->loading screen-->mission start.

Like, who the fuck at Capcom thought this was good design?

It's terrible, especially on console. They desperately need to streamline it in a patch.

Blow Mode for Balrog is also fantastic for getting accidental parries on most enemies. I really need to work out the timing because I'm relying on Royalguard way too much in circumstances where I need parries now.

by the way going through skill menus in the void suuuucks, four button clicks to get back to the skills menu nevermind where you were last in the skills menu. despite everything the game still has some minor UX niggles all over the place.

anyway spending some time labbing with dante really helped me out, just learning all his moves in all circumstances, someone used the music metaphor before and tbh I think it really holds true, especially with positioning. If Dante had snatch he'd be so goddamn crazy OP.

the game's difficulty is so strange. I actually played something close to 35 hours before I bothered starting to lab cos I didn't really need to before then. lol.

Anyone figure out how to do the "Let's go for a walk little chickie" animation counter during the Malphas fight with Nero? It was seen in the trailers. Is it something that is related to Rawhide? Or it's just a Wire Snatch after the parry.

I think it's related to Rawhide.

I did it on her twice and I had it. It seems to be during those times after she's done projecting.

Just got to Dante. How am I suppose to use any other weapon when I have Barlog and can Shinryuu Ken ?

Dante is sublime in this game.

Literally action game genre nirvana. This is the peak. Absolute perfection.

The boss of Chapter 8 is just...so not fun. I don't know why they thought this was a good idea. Replaying it on SoS and I'm just bored more than anything else.

You can still get double-Kalina Ann without the Mission 11 one. There's one in another mission where it's just hidden in a house room.

Oh, wait, yeah, I was getting confused. Mission 11 is the tower one, 10 is the Urizen one.

Oh weird, I got that scene my first time through and I skipped the first part of the credits (Out of habit I paused to look at the skill list, whoops)

I was thinking folks were talking about something else

It's good they have a cutscene viewer in the gallery lol. I wish more games had that these days.
