I’m hoping this will top DMC3. Going to be a masterpiece.
I’m loving the enthusiasm and that’s all I’m going to say in this thread.
Yep, I’m very hyped for this game.

Now I can rest easy.

You just settle down with those high expectations mister.

Can't believe it's been 11 years and 3 months since the last proper DMC game.

They gave us a baby action game for the Towers of the world, and turned Uncle dante into trailer trash. The absolute fucking nerve of Capcom!!!
But we made it out aarny, our boi is back. AND HE DOES THE SMOOTH CRIMINAL BECAUSE ONE OF HIS DEVIL ARMS IS A FUCKING HAT WITH A SCARF. Video Games have been saved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only one week away now.
Get hyped bitches!!!

Yet only six years since the best one.

Hype reaching maximum levels!!!!!! I started up DMC4 PC which has legendary mode and turbo, holy shit I don’t think I can ever go back!!!! So many enemies on screen, it’s a combo paradise! I’ve been watching combo vids of the demo, with such a limited move set people can do crazy things.
If you beat the game on Son of Sparda, Dante can unlock an option for 6 weapon slots o_O
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS GAME!!!!!!!!
Actually it’s not my favorite DMC that remains 3 but mechanically it’s sublime. It is the culmination of every DMC game, the formula pushed to its limit allowing a level of freedom and expression that even pros couldn’t dream of. Nero is a fun test character, easy to learn, fun to mess around with. V is a interesting alternative, it’s ok at times but I would have been fine with him out. Dante though, my god, he has the depth of a fighting game character. Every weapon and style is available for real time switching and the options have been doubled. It’s the deepest move set ever put in an action game.
My issue is the setting is trash, the level design is basically room after room and the bosses don’t have much of a personality. The whole game sort of bleeds together as there is not much to differentiate the levels. Purists love it as it’s just combat and no fluff, but I like fluff. Still it’s a blast and I am almost done with Son of Sparta mode this game is really easy too outside the last boss.
This is my favourite Devil May Cry game, I absolutely love it. Finished Devil Hunter difficulty and am now a little over halfway on Son of Sparda difficulty. V is a really cool addition and changes up the combat nicely. Nico is hilarious and a really cool character in the game. I get a kick out of the different ways that she comes bursting on the scene when you give her a call at a phone booth. Some pretty cool boss fights. I just love how the main baddy sits in his throne looking like he’s bored and flicks you away like your a bothersome fly. This game is just full of character stuff like this. Combat feels amazing with how you can switch up things like Dante’s fighting styles and weapons on the fly. I do sometimes get caught pressing a wrong button when I don’t want to when I switch over to a different character like pressing L1 and accidentally breaking one of Nero’s arms because I’m thinking of Dante’s Devil Trigger because it’s the same button. There’s not really much to fault with this game but perhaps the environments being a bit too samey. Fantastic game and I would give it a 9.5 out 10.
I fucking love this game
Gripes out of the way early
-V is not good. He is demonstrably worse than Dante n Nero, he has 4 mandatory missions, and one of them requires a boss rush against bosses that were more fun to fight as Nero (2 of the 3), and Dante (probably the 2nd best boss in the game)
-Level design means nothing in these games, but at least aesthetically its dull. It's too samey and the game would have benefited from a more vibrant samey ass place, as opposed to one that is super gray.
-There should be a 3rd starting difficulty. It's too easy on Devil Hunter, tho admittedly I was going to play the game on every difficulty anyway. But on normal it's easier than Ninja Gaiden on normal. Bayonetta on Normal. Wonderful 101 on normal.
-QOL stuff. For instance why do I have to skip a cutscene, then end up at the pre-mission screen, hit start mission, and skip another cutscene. Combine the cutscene from pre-mission screen with the one after I hit start mission and make it a long ass cutscene. On replays I'm gonna want that shit faster, I like some snappiness
As far as action games are concerned it doesn't have any throw away enemies like DMC3 or something as fucking stupid as Blitz, narrative wise sure 3 is probably better, but gameplay that Dante is wildly outclassed by what Nero n Dante can do. Simplest way I can put it is, DMC3 is the superior game on that first playthrough, for the snugness. But DMC5 is going to be superior every following playthrough, and bloody palace literally has to be the exact same thing as 4 and it washes 3. It goes without saying the game is better than 4. No dice shit, no repeating the game backwards.
The final boss fight is hype as shit, and the stuff they give Nero and Dante by end game is bonkers. Nero on just the devil breakers was a far more complex character than the one in 4 (albeit COME ON ITSUNO GIVE ME BREAKER SWITCHING WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!), but then you get some things back by the end and Nero becomes pretty godlike for a character who is meant to maintain the skill floor of the game. On the flip side, fuck what can't Dante do at this point. Style switching on the fly, more weapons to switch than last time. The first real boss you fight as Dante, Cavaliere man, holy shit. When the music drops to one of his attacks it's so fucking lit because this banger kicks in

Goliath, Artemis, Grayson on a horse, Nidhogg (weirdly the only good gameplay thing with V), a chicken, and cerb all range from good to really good. But Cavaliere, Urizen, and FUCK YOU CAPGOD YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I WILL PAY FOR HIM YOU SCUMBAGS!!! is hype as fuck, that last boss is some anime ass shit, and it's not done as some stupid ass cutscene that plays in between (fuck you DmC, fucking shitty ass game), or some dumb quick time shit (sorry Platinum, but cut it the fuck out), it doesn't become fucking space harrier (ahem Kamiya), and it's not some WOAH LOOK AT THE BACKGROUND( (Go...well I mean you know where I was going with that). It's actual mechanics in the game, used in earned spots to set up quality contextual attacks that feel hype in the natural flow of the action. Additionally the song bangs.
My deluxe edition came with being able to change the soundtrack so Dante's theme is out and taste the blood is in. The void is dope, and the combo mad gods are killing it with where they are taking this game. All the game needs to do is add Inertia/reversals. I'll never be good enough to flex that shit, but I want the best dmc players on the planet to have that shit, it's what DMC4 special, even if casuals get turned off by the ungraceful 2nd half of that game.
All in all I'm really fucking happy about my time with DMC5. Would I have liked a few things be handled better? eh yeah, but fuck you I just got the best action game made since the first Bayonetta, and I'm starting to think its the best one since Ninja Gaiden Black, and that's my favorite game in the genre. Fucking play it Foolz you hoe, or you are dead to me.
My review is up. I am goong through DMD mode now. SSS city, I feel like a god when I play, its so good.
Gagan, excellent impressions.
Fucking play it Foolz you hoe, or you are dead to me.
He still has to play 3, 4, and probably DmC before he gets anywhere near 5. So he'll be with up in about 10 years lmao
ALSO THE GAME IS GREAT. I JUST KEEP REPLAYING MISSION 13 OVER AND OVER FOR THE COOP BANTZ
It's almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The demo is so fucking good. No repeating boss fights the other character fights, Nero's buster has been giving more utility and options, the third character is a puppet character in a single player game (all you non fighting game players need not apply), and GLORIOUS LORD DANTE IS GONNA HAVE ALL HIS STYLES BACK WITH NEW VERSIONS OF CERBERUS N SHIT!!!!!!.............and there is some how more mechanics n surprises to unlock, the combo crafting is gonna be so godlike. This game could have some pretentious wanky walk fest to open the game and I would give no fucks.
VIDEO GAMES HAVE BEEN SAVED! BASED CAPGOD! SUCK A DICK TOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
