Ok I took a break after Stage 90. Cerberus was cake until hit hit me while he was DT'd. Then I got scared and just shot him to death. Blue Rose has been fucking carrying me. I don't know how the hell I'm gonna do half of this shit with V.
Edit: Also, does anyone else suck ass against Artemis? She got me down to a fraction my health. Locking on to her little Gundam funnels and killing them is a fucking nightmare.

Just finished, excellent game. Probably just a tad behind 1 and 3 for me. The opening chapters and the finale were the strongest parts, the middle sagged a bit. Loved the woman who drives the van. 8/10
Edit: 6/10, 2 points docked for making my PlayStation scream louder than a demon. Could barely hear music, dialogue etc

Agree. I was so pissed to hit the void that I used a lot of DT on pets to let them fight better than me, lol.
it wasn't too bad but yeah anything fast moving that requires precision with v is a pain in the aasssssssssss not because you will die but because it takes ages to force your familiars into the right timing to hit things
Fighting Cerberus with V is so good, it almost feels like he was made for V with the slight platforming and push/pull mechanics. Really enjoyable.
Hell or Hell S rank progress was very good tonight. Mission 5,6,7N and 7V done. Now I'm on to mission 8. This one is gonna be tough. No damage is gonna be out of the question for me. Now way I'm trying to fight Urizen part 2 no damage. I can get to the boss pretty easily with the right breaker set ups but I'm gonna have to make sure i have at least 4600-4700 style points before the boss to even attempt the S. I love what this guy did in this video for the first fight. Bringing enemies with him into the next fight to boost the style rank. Now that's some good tech. I'm gonna have to try that.
Why'd you do Mission 7 with both Nero and V? I've heard you don't have to for the trophy. Unless you're trying to fill out the entire results page.
Exactly my dude. Missions 7 and 13 are easy enough as it is might as well.
The way the checkpointing works is kinda frustrating but I get why it is that way. Basically went into the Nidhogg fight with 1 bar of health as V so it was really frustrating to try and stick to no continues especially when I went down at his 10% Devil Trigger hp threshold. Ended up just rezzing and finishing him off, oh well.
And this is still missing some Buster animations and Devil Buster Knuckle. And that doesn't even begin to count all the moves and abilities from Devil Breakers (I count almost 50 in total when counting contextual ones for Overture and hidden flips and stuff with Punchline). When the inevitable "Switch Breakers on the fly" mod comes out, I think he could pass DMC 4 Dante. As of right now, I definitely think he's surpassed both DmC and DMC 3 Dante. Even without any mods, depending on your load out, you have just as many, if not more options available than DMC 4 Dante.
Itsuno really brought Nero into his own in this game. Hats off to him and his team.
I just thought about how nero's theme song is called Devil Trigger and him getting his DT at the end was still somehow a surprise to me
re: the above the table hopper stand hits were fucking wild. never thought of doing that

I reached Floor 57 as Dante tonight. Had to suspend the game since I'm gonna sleep but I'm really liking this version of Bloody Palace.
hopefully i can get past the voltaic knight tonight, i always get slightly overconfident and fuck up. At least I'm getting more used to just blowing through my breakers if I hit something unsuitable
is there a list or guide to buster counters? the only one I know for sure you can counter is the artemis charge (which I need to practice). I assume you can maybe counter one of goliath's charges as well...?

What platform are you playing on?
On PC with even a cheap SATA SSD it loads just as fast as 4. It's just annoying how you get a loading screen at every cutscene, menu and gameplay transition. They are not long enough to read a single one of those hints but they're there and it becomes annoying. Especially when you exit the upgrade menu but then realise you forgot to upgrade something, or didn't have the right loadout. 2 extra loading screen to wait through.
Mainly those fancy realtime menu backgrounds are at fault for this.
You know, I hope next DMC game we get more humanoid bosses. The humanoid bosses in this game were the ones that made me actually have tons of fun, but for the most part the giant beast bosses aren't as fun for me.
Yes Goliath's body charge can be busted, I remember seeing his leap attack being busted as well.
A general rule is anything that is charging at you.
Except maybe the Chaos.
I feel like DMC has always done both humanoid and beast bosses really well. Human-sized ones are great for that tense, toe-to-toe duel feeling, but the big guys are really fun to hammer away at and show them all your fun jump-cancelling tech. I feel like DMC5 balanced it really well, with some of them (particularly Urizen) actually straddling the line between humanoid and beast anyway.
And, hey, no blob boss or Savior analogue this time!

You can parry fireballs with the sword.
I've never tried to parry Cainas, but you probably can.
Aye alright, the timer is actually quite lenient. Probably not the best idea to go in without finishing my DMD playthrough though. Stage 90 wrecked me.
People are doing some impressive stuff with Nero. Honestly, the more I'm seeing, the closer I am to thinking he'll be DMC 4 Dante tier after a year or two of people labbing it.
can't get the god damn timing down on the artemis charge... hard to proc it too. glad for the lab though.
i probably need to watch some playthroughs so i can learn some better practices, i'm taking too long with stuff like Cleaver Dudes or just masses of Hellbats

Iirc someone mentioned earlier in the thread that you can save scam in BP like in the campaign by closing the application when dying.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that felt this. Artemis gets destroyed by Dante and Nero pretty easily but with V it was just very strict DT meter management. Also I'm not really sure I've figured out maximum damage output with him just yet.
Also is anybody disappointed they can't use deluxe breakers and Cavaliere R in BP? I miss my motorcycle air stinger.

Lol that edit seems more of a fault of the console, not the game. My PC and PS4 Pro are quiet as hell, but my base PS4 is indeed super loud when running this game, and other games too. I imagine that's because it's from 2013 and I've never cleaned it lol. Still though, docking a game because of the hardware you're using to run it seems really dumb.
My base PS4 is pretty quiet while running the game. Probably due to change of paste/cleaning about half a year ago.
It's a joke, friend. I mean I am annoyed by the noise my system makes and it definitely does effect my enjoyment of the game, but I wasn't serious about the points.
Died with Dante at floor 94.
I didn't kniw how to approach those two goat head assholes. Fuck it Ill save SIN meter for floor 94.

I was playing last night during some Steam instability and the game closed on its own without and error message. I couldn't resync my save data to the cloud, so I assume that was the cause. After I got in back in, I kept seeing the other player ghost data drop out and a new one coming in. Every time a new one appeared the game had a noticeable half second stutter. Anyone else experience this? Quite frustrating...
I'm disappointed the Bloody Palace isn't more randomized and some of the bosses like Geryon Knight and Nidhogg don't even seem to be in there. It get's a slog after a while doing the same boring entry levels again and again.
twice in one night is too fuckin much. i'm going to sleep
Can you post your config info on Steam's troubleshooting guide thread below?

The OP in the thread has been updated with known issues regarding BP. There's a potential temporary workaround if you're using a Windows 10. See Section 10 for details.
The same company that did the RE2 Vinyl OST is doing one for DMC5, and it looks great.

Yep, you have to hit it pretty early though since she flies at you really fast.
Whoo yea! Beat mission 8 and 9 Hell and Hell S rank. 8 was quite tough but I beat 9 on my first try. Here's my 8 run. Special taunts are great at raising the style rank without causing damage, I think it gave me the edge. How do you do the bubble gum taunt with Nero?
No way, not yet, and maybe not ever. DMC3 Dante has insane depth if you know how to wield him.
I beat Bloody Palace with Nero. That was actually pretty easy. Stage 97 and Urizen gave me the most trouble but I probably could've made it easier by using my Breakers more. I still had all 8 of them in the last stage. I'll try V next just to get that shit over with.
