    Was messing around with vergil and found out you can turn sdt on and off to get the combo ends for sdt without wasting much of your sdt gauge.

    Music recommendations if I like Bury the Light too much?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2021 11:46 AM PDT

    Literally cannot bring myself to listen to any other 9-minute songs in their entirety, but here we are.

    Are there any other songs/bands that sound like this? As in, heavy distortion, powerful vocals (but no screamo), and sick-ass vibes. Please, I need more.

    Hey everyone does anyone agree that u can’t help, but feel bad for Dante because he lost his brother and mother in devil may cry(2001 game) and devil may cry 2?

    Was a bit disappointed in DMC 3 but awakened my love towards series after getting to DMC 5

    Posted: 18 Aug 2021 01:53 PM PDT

    I'm newcomer to the series and recently finished Ninja Gaiden master collection and decided I want more. So I decided to start Devil may cry series which I neglected for years.

    I played Bayonetta, ps2 GoW, MGR before so I'm familiar with genre but nowhere good at it. I completed all main DMC games on normal and did all secret missions and collected all blue fragments. So my opinion based mostly as regular player and not as slasher/combo beat em up aficionado.

    I'll try to run down pros and cons of every game I played and overall impressions of the series.

    DMC 1

    Pros: I started to respect the game more, as I played next mainline games. It's started the whole genre after all. I really like whole story of DMC being cancelled RE Game. First game have it's own distinctive creepy atmosphere, some cool enemy designs and awesome last boss fight, where you even fly - pretty impressive for such old game.

    Cons: Game aged poorly, I legit have friend who gave up with the game. A lot of running for quest items, weird control sometimes and I personally hate that you fight every boss multiple times.

    DMC 2

    Cons: do I even need to mention ? But yes game have probably most weird level design on top of being bad game. Old town connected to oil rig via lighthouse with modern downtown and some ruins with oriental temple??

    Pros: I really like that most of the abilities from DMC 1 are known for Dante at the start of the game, reminds me Soul reaver 2 where Razziel have all abilities from SR1, however it's destroyed by fact that there is no skills or moves to learn or buy. There is something disturbing and yet captivating in all those empty creepy zones and almost silent Dante, I really want DMC 2 remake with more grounded and darker tone.

    DMC 3

    Pros: let me preface it - it's really good game which I just didn't like, but still enjoyed. It have very satisfying combat, insane choreography in cutscenes and probably stellar textbook boss encounter - fight with Vergil. Its cool to juggle weapons to get combos. I personally like 1st one at the top of the tower. Lady is cool addition and probably my favourite DMC girl.

    Cons: I think it's punishment for me that I never played game when it was released. I always knew that it's must have game it had highest score on every gaming magazine I read and it was always in every top list. I came biased expecting masterpiece and flawless game, I also constantly compared game with GoW which came out also in 2005. I didn't like level design of the game - it's boring gray or brown halls with weird camera angles. Enemy design is super flat with just countless iterations of grim reapers. I understand they were based off on Sins, but its barely explored and they look all the same.

    Ugly Cerberus looks wise is nothing compared to Hydra intro in GoW (the fight with Cerberus mechanically is good though) Cutscenes are so good, that you wish you do same in game, but no. You have boring fight killing Leviathan heart followed by cutscene of Dante escaping trough they eye with the style. Why not have it included in game, not in the actual cutscene, same with bike scenes, i would not mind short level with bike mini game, shooting and avoiding obstacles.

    I think games loses its steam after 2nd fight with Vergil, you start ascending tower again, same rooms with slightly destruction and similar mazes of countless rooms. Nevan boss fight is war crime. I understand that whole point of Dante being younger in DMC 3 so he is more edgy and brash than ever, but i find him annoying sometimes, some of his conversations with Lady are just pure noncense. Agni and Rudra is super cool fight, but first thing Dante does is ordering them to shut up, such a shame it would ve been cool adition and i really liked Gryphon in DMC5. I read that Vergil VA got cold before recording, so he have dinstinctive voice, but for some reason i could not take him serious at all because of that. Also i think based on cover arts Dante from DMC 2 and 3 are my favorite, but Dante in game in DMC3 looks very different. Platforming is afwul too.

    ​

    One last thing, i played all games on PS5 and i read that if you play switch version or install mod on PC you can switch styles for Dante, which will probably improve gameplay significantly, but gameplay for me was never a problem, but since i own both platforms, i might give a go game again.

    DMC 4

    Pros: I know game wasnt finished properly, it had cut content, when it came out, general opinion was harsh towards Nero at the release, but i really liked the game. Nero is good addition to the roster, and perfect entry for newcomers. I really liked Devil Bringer and grab attacks which added flavorful finishers. Even though you visit each location twice, i was impressed, it was first time when DMC series had some beatiful locations, epecially at the beginning. Credo is probably one of my favorite boss fight in series. Fight with Dante is also treat, since you know all moves of Dante and he still kicks your ass. Dante in DMC4 is probably my favourite iteration in series, he is goofy and silly and at same time you feel his mentorship role and that beneath his smile, he is very serious. Switch to Dante gameplay is also great, basically all enemies were designed for Nero, and you defeat them as Dante with his insane raw power. Even not being pro i felt that with Dante you can do so much, and game only shows you tip of iceberg of what he can actually do. This game also made me like DMC1 more, i really liked throwbacks to DMC1 with scarecrows similar to mannequins, lizard enemies and even that follow the light in jungle sequence. Enemy variety is much better than in DMC3, i was also surprised that DMC4 did it first with angelic enemies before Bayonetta, angelic knight are super cool. However i think holy theme could be explored more, giants with angel faces in Bayonetta are forever etched in my memory - it was creepy and unique.

    Cons: You basically complete the game twice in same locations, but i wish we had unique bosses for Dante at least. Gyro blades and jumping pads were strange, especially on last boss. The Fault should not exist and i cant decide where some secret missions are worst in DMC4 or DMC3. Dice game is bad, killing all bosses for 3rd time as Nero isnt fun, at least give us Dante, because you barely have chance to test his weapons properly.

    DMC 5

    Pros: I bought DMC HD collection with DMC4 SE included, so DMC5 for me was on hold if only i liked previous titles, and i bought DMC 5 special edition for PS5. Generational gap is impressive, its not just best looking DMC its overall game with awesome graphics. The music is best in series and i cant stop listening to Devil Trigger. Finally, demon invasion is a threat to humanity and we see that main cast is doing their jobs and not just fighting monsters in barren wastes. I really like Nico and her banter with Nero. For me awakening call for the game was after Nero saves Lady, and Nico starts to bust his balls because he is touching naked girl and he is cursing at her. Combine it with all cinematic feeling, real destrcution of the town and gore brought by demons i really felt that series finally matured and showed us more gritty and real world, altough it still had same wacky stuff as before. Enemy design is top notch, i really dig Empusas as basic enemies, and bosses are terrific.

    The game is real treat for fans so many references and throwback to previous titles like shaodw and gryphon from DMC1, scissor enemy as well, cerberus and reaper enemy from dmc3. Game developers managed to make distinctive gameplay for all 3 characters. Nero was hardest for me, but i liked the design philosophy that he plays as big risk big reward - you have huge variety of devil breakers, but if you can lose it if you was hit or you need to destroy it if you want to use another useful skill. V' gameplay is super interesting, i always entertain idea that someday we will have big MMO like WoW but with combat in real time, and V is best example of summoner class in real time. I found out V to be easiest character, i played on Devil Hunter, maybe thats' the reason, but it was easy to have consistent SS-SSS rank with him.

    Dante is cherry on top - its just feels so good to play as him. Maybe its because i played all games prior, but i was able to pull some insane stunts as Dante, he feels unstoppable and very fun to play. Cavaliere is definition of DMC as series and example that you can show to friend to explain what you can expect from the game.

    Cons: Game have weird pacing with scenes going flash forward and back like in Tarantino movies and i understand its because we are introduced to 3 different characters. But i think we could get just something like chapter 13 at the start of the game, where you are forced to play as each character respectively, so game would have less filler chapters. And less similar futlile fights against Urizen which mostly serves as plot. Altough i praised locations and enemy design it would be great if everything had less Klypoth influence. I wish there was free character select for every chapter after completion.

    ​

    ​

    Final thoughts about series: There are 2 things which bothered through all series and one which occured for me after finishinh DMC5.

    No specifc dodge or block button: I honestly dont understand why only viable dodge in game is trickster style for Dante from DMC3 and onwards, why in all other games you are forced to hold one button, use jump button and use analog stick only SIDEWAYS to perform simple roll, so many times i had jump instead when i never really need it. Ninja gaiden had it better, where you have block button if you hold it and if you will use analog stick while holding block you will use roll in preferred direction. You still cant block everything like in Dark Souls but it adds you consistent evade mechanic.

    ​

    Analog stick movement for combos: Since i played some other similar games before, i really got used to more traditional combo trough heavy attack and light attack like in Ninja Gaiden, or punch and kick like in Bayonetta, i just feel using two buttons for making combos is much more intuitive than just one button with directions. I never managed to pull off consistently moves which requires you to use back and forth movement on joystick. I might be mistaken but i dont think there is even combos where you can use attack following with shooting which ends in some unique combo, shooting is only filler to keep rank.

    Game have way too much fanservice for Vergil and not enough Dante:
    I just realised that after finishing DMC 5. Yes we have DMC 1 which is solely about Dante, but we already have Vergil as Nelo Angelo. I think DMC 2 can be ignored because it doesnt bring anything for Dante in terms of story or character development. DMC3 is revolved around Vergil that when he became fan favorite, and if you own SE edition you can complete whole game as Vergil. In DMC4 you play as Vergil' son Nero and for about 60% of the game, rest 40% is reserved for Dante. You cant go trough whole game as Dante, but you can as Vergil if you own special edition. In DMC5 whole plot is also about Vergil, we chase Vergil in demon form, we play as Vergil's son Nero and as human part of Vergil - V. And yes we also can complete whole game as Vergil. Vergil is more static and defined compared to more chaotic Dante. Vergil is not much changed from DMC3. However, i genuinely think that Dante is different in every game, and i want to see him more.

    As my final thought, even though i wrote a lot of criticism, it come from newly founded passion towards the games. I really like that game have very memorable and distinctive characters, which i think is main selling point of the series. Ruy Hayabusa in Ninja Gaiden is still just faceless ninja, im not sure if Raiden had any impact if he wasnt part of my favourite game saga and Bayonetta is cheating because of horny points. DMC cast is not only characters with established personalities, but each of them have uniue fighting style and dynamic.

    ​

    TL;DR Started to play DMC series from DMC1, expected too much of DMC3 because of its great and deserved legacy, but my expectations were unreal, so i didnt enjoy game as much as i could back in 2005. DMC5 proved to me that series are one of the best on the market.

    How many blatant DMC homages do we have in Genshin Impact?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2021 03:03 PM PDT

    I just can't keep track of how many characters and abilities are clear homages to Devil May Cry. It's amazing.
