Man I'm pumped to see Devil May Cry return to form.

Oh, how I've missed bonkers video game adverts.

Why did they fuck up so badly with DmC and are doing so good with this one,

 

[Interslicery]

I dunno if I like how V plays. My attention is split, and when I move to try and not get hit, more often than not it messes up my combos.

 

[Lulcielid]

The western release of the game has cencorship, slightly more on the PS4 version.

Spoiler

He is playable but his move pool is very shallow. This could mean he is a future DLC character and this is just the base form of that DLC with the rest of his moves and such coming in a future patch.

 

[Lulcielid]

Nice, looking forward to that happening.

Free update coming on April 1st

Just beat this. It was perfect, everything I wanted for a DMC return-to-form. V is such a different character gameplay-wise, but still super fun. And it's really impressive that, while the game makes you feel like a badass with all three of the characters, it still finds a way to make you feel yet more badass still when you're playing as Dante.

Just...excellent all around. Maybe I'll have some more thoughts formulated later, haha. Also, the graphics were really, really good!

 

[AvecAloes]

It was honestly such a fun game to watch!

 

[Shademp]

Even as a casual fan of Devil May Cry I quite enjoyed watching a movie version of DMC5.

Spoiler

The great number of references to the series canon was appreciated.

Same!

Spoiler

There was so much more of that than I expected, I don't recall even 4 having that much. But this had numerous references to Nelo Angelo and Mundus, the events of 3 and 4, Mallet Island, the importance placed on the Devil Sword Sparda, etc. It was fun to hear and remember all that stuff, and just give little sidebars to Avec when something like that was mentioned. Just a ton of fun all around.

 

[Lulcielid]

Some interesting stuff for advance combat.

Devil May Cry Retrospective!

 

[Lulcielid]

Beautiful DMC5 combo MADS compilation.

 

[Clement Rage]

Blazed through it on Human because even having played 4, I didn't consider myself a veteran.

Spoiler

Well, I got my wishlist...

It wasn't quite as fun as I'd hoped, maybe because of my playstyle.

The plot is...basically the same as 3.

Maybe I'll get more from it in a second run

Info on the DMC5 special edition, there's image sliders to compare visuals with and w/o ray-tracing and stuff

Glad I didn't get this yet, I was holding out for the inevitable "now with more Vergil" edition

 

[Strangelove]

is it just me that prefers the ray tracing off examples more on the site? the reflections are nice, but everything looks brighter and i kind of like the darker version better even if i can't see the reflection of dante's ass on a shiny marble floor

That new theme was so fucking sick

 

[ForceStealer]

Ah the age-old DMC business strategy.

"Sell it again with Vergil!"
