Devil May Cry 5

Nico is a stone cold fox.

If anything happens her, so help me god i will smash this controller.

I've been playing this recently and finished mission 5. It'a alright... remember the first 4 games being better. Not that this is bad. Just missing something...?

Am I crazy? :pac:

Nero rescues the game for me, easily my favourite controlling character in gaming. WRT controls, it's a thing you can get used to. The whole thing where every attack is context sensitive on your character's orientation can be tough but I think it's the only way they can squeeze so many skills onto a controller.

DmC is probably better overall as a sort of more balanced action game and how it matches the style of the characters with levels that actually look interesting and a plot that tries to toe the line between edgy and stupid (but in a fun way). But it could never give me the hours of playtime that 5 does when it comes to experimenting with different fighting styles. Though I wouldn't say no to a sequel tbh (reboot Dante would need to get Nero's sword for me to be happy about it though...)

Been doing no damage runs against my favourite bosses (spoilers)


This is probably still my goty tbh. Just wish it had more content

Love the way you don't even recognise the reboot as part of the series

Could just as easily be 'forgetting' DMC2 tbh :pac:

I was playing it from a shared steam library so I was definitely going to pick up the Special Edition if it included all the DLC and features they shown. But they've decided to favor consoles despite the PC players being the main community for the game since 4's PC version, with combo videos, all the biggest DMC content creators being on PC, modding etc. CAPCOM completely blew it again.

I've read the raytracing on console will be limited too, only on 1080p, drops to 30fps, not available in Turbo or Legendary Dark Knight modes.

I'm not that fussed about that aspect of it anyway. Playable Vergil is all I'm interested in. Hoping he's playable in all levels like with DMC4:SE, rather than just swapping out for V in his levels.

RT getting in the way of SE not coming to PC is awful. Graphical upgrade are not what I like about SEs. Would be a nice-to-have for later if I upgrade though but still mad.

It is odd that the PC version is getting Vergil but not the other game modes.
I know if there is a market for Vergil, why not the other games modes as well?

I almost wonder if it's an optimality thing. That the minimum specs for the normal game wouldn't work for the increased speed or no. of enemies in the new modes. Same reason they're not coming to the PS4/XB1 versions. But not a PC gamer so I don't know what usually happens in that scenario.

DMC3 on console (6th gen) it was new character, turbo and some other miscellaneous content like a boss and costumes. Released to newer gen consoles and PC via some bad PC ports and HD collections.

DMC4 it was the PC release that brought back turbo and added the new LDK mode, 8th gen got those features too later on.
In all cases the Special Editions are released as a new product, not DLC, and has been available for purchase as their own release on all platforms eventually.

This will be the first to have a character as DLC outright to the original release and for consoles (9th gen) to be getting new features that originally PC was spearheading.

I meant what happens to PC games in general (rather than the DMC games) if DLC contains things which the minimum specs of the game at the time of release aren't capable of handling? Is it just normally a case of "These are the new increased minimum specs required for the game & DLC"? What do people who only met the minimum specs for the base game do if they can't meet the minimum specs for the DLC?

Again, asking out of ignorance because I don't know. I'm just putting it forward as a possible theory as to why they may not want the hassle of including turbo/LDK modes for the PC version.

I get your point about the specs difference between DMC4 and DMC4:SE, but that wasn't a DLC, it was an updated version of the same game.

Special edition is out, I still have to wait for PC DLC tho

There's some actual good Vergil gameplay out now that it's in expert player hands



Very similar to DMC4, he's got a staccato rhythm where it's all sudden bursts of high damage attacks. A bit too powerful compared to the other characters though I think, I've never seen this boss deleted this fast.

Yeah Dante's arsenal in this game is superb. I didn't really gel with Nero's devil breaker arms, and V's combat is actually a bit button-mashy while you keep V himself out of harms way. Dante's arsenal and combat though is just terrific.

The only thing I didn't really like about DMCV was the playable character constantly changing between missions. Felt like you were constantly having to change styles and rhythms.

I loved DMCV though. It was well worth the wait and delighted it did well. Fingers crossed for a DMC6!
