    So glad this is getting great reviews and such a positive reception. I was all-in anyway, but it really seems like they've done it justice. Seeing and learning more about V's gameplay has me really hyped too.

    This game has the same recommended PC specs as Resident Evil 2? That can't be right. Watched 2mins of game play and there was tonnes of particle effects and other stuff flashing about on screen.

    It's the same RE engine I believe. It's incredibly stable and looks amazing.

    RE7, RE2 Remake all look fantastic.

    I wish they would do something with the monster hunter world engine to bring visuals up to PC standards,incredible game probably my favourite of the last 5 years or so.

    Oh God. I want to buy it now.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    The AI of V's pets sucks... have yourself targeting something, and the cat frequently attacking elsewhere.

    Thanks for this. Just got it for less than on Steam.

    Finished the campaign, enjoyable story. The multiplayer aspect is incredibly unnoticeable since you're never beside each other. At first I thought those names were the name of the song currently playing! :p

    Over halfway through. It's brilliant. It's genuinely old school DMC. Neros devil breakers work far better than I thought they would. It's a great system. The vital/devil stars aren't missed, and I've picked up plenty of gold orbs (though haven't needed to use any yet).

    V's gameplay is fun and complex, though I have to admit it's a bit button-bashy. It's hard to be able to pull off proper directional attacks with both square and triangle when the animals are facing a different way than you. But when it works, it's awesome and easy to get SSS rank with.

    V is piss easy to get SSS's on from just mashing them buttons. Nightmare just wrecks everything with that Explosive laser beam of his (depletion rate upgrade is a must). :p

    His secret mission of not touching the ground was beyond frustrating though. Speaking of which, there are secret areas that can only be accessed from summoning Nightmare, where he makes an explosive entrance through the wall. :D

    Finished it last night. Loved it. Absolutely loved it. It was everything I wanted from it and more. Not completely perfect, would have liked some more variety in mission locations and there were almost no puzzles. But on the whole... very very happy. I know they've only talked about Bloody Palace coming as DLC, but I really hope there's more than that coming. At the very least, the reception and projected sales for this will hopefully mean a DMC6.

    At first I was a bit underwhelmed, but it livens up with V - perhaps the most tediously emo character the series has yet seen, but fascinating shift in fighting style which thankfully makes this feel like something properly new. I'm still a Bayonetta man, but this is a sharply designed game with plenty of nuances and variations in the combat to keep things interesting.

    My main complaint is that the levels feel stuck in the PS2 era. That the rest of the game is very PS2-esque is a good thing, but the level design is restrictive and messy. Lots of unreachable ledges and invisible barriers where it looks like there could be something. Exploration has always been a distance second, third, fourth priority to the fighting in this series, but this is underwhelming even within those expectations.

    On my second playthrough now, still on Devil Hunter Mode as I want to get as many upgrades as I can before trying the next hardest mode. The sections where there's another player controlling another character are a reasonably nice addition, but for the most part is pointless. I would have preferred them to be AI controlled or simply not there at all. The best bit is getting gold orbs for being rated stylish (got 7 yesterday), but still it just feels unnecessary. Though could be a good precursor to a multiplayer Bloody Palace, which could be a better use of it.

    Getting better as V too. He takes some getting used to whether button-bashing or trying to pull off certain moves, but it's definitely an interesting system they've used for him, and when you do get into a rhythm he's a lot of fun to play as. Also experimenting with different Devil Breakers for Nero, rather than relying on the Rawhide and Punch Line ones.

    Yeah I can't disagree with that. The invisible barriers are disappointing. Figured there might be something hidden in an area when playing as V, over a jump you shouldn't really be able to make. Managed to cheese the jump using his cane attack to jump forward, then double-jumping and gliding. Would have easily landed on the ledge but hit an invisible wall. Sucks when that happens. The lack of locked doors, backtracking and the invisible walls throughout really makes it feel far more linear than previous games.

    It's just timing. Striking when they strike.

    Would love to get some time to play the damn game. This evening for a n hour or two hopefully. I've as far as the first V level.
    Radically different to Nero. I find I'm kind of button mashing a bit but maybe because I haven't fully grasped his style.

    Any tips?
