Find me a character action game with a more advanced combat system, advanced tech, and a higher skill ceiling than pic related.
the combat is incredible in that game
shame about the backtracking through samey looking gothic architecture to find the lever to open the door to cross the invisible bridge to step on the boost pad to jump over the gap to pull the lever stuff
seriously, why so much asinine walking and platforming in a game that should not be about walking and platforming
WHO THE FUCK PLAYS DEVIL MAY CRY FOR PLATFORMING, WHY IS IT THERE SO MUCH
Sorry, anon. I can't.
you can't

I have it for PS4 but I only mash
How do I git gud
>Legendary Dark Knight mode
Is this shit even possible with Nero?
I do fine with Lady/Trish/Vergil, but Nero and his stupid fucking charge mechanics are miserable. I just want to play as Dante :\
>>321948683
mash harder.
>>321948296
>2015
>still saying character action game
>>321948296
There is none. God, DMC is so much fun. Nothing else fills the void.
OP here.
How far is Donguri to finally mastering DMC4 Dante?
>>321948479
this is really the only thing holding me back from playing through DMC4 SE. I played the fuck out of the original on every difficulty (save for Hell and Hell) and I have no desire to go through the hell that is DMC platforming ever again. It's just so bad and unnecessary.
>>321948683
Play more til you know all the moves and it flows naturally. Then learn all the advanced tech and get even more good.
>he doesn't main trish akabest girl
>>321948296
>Learning advanced tech skill for a single player game
I do love me some DMC4:SE as much as the next guy fan, but waste of time desu senpai.
So I'm doing me first playthrough and don't have the money (or whatever the currency is called) to buy any of the moves/tricks necessarily to do cool stuff, everything looks expensive
Am I supposed to just drag myself in boredom until I buy more shit?
>>321949391
>having a main in a single player game
>not mastering all available charactersTrish is pretty fun. I hope she's more fleshed out in DMC5.
Ninja Gaiden.
DMC is shallow shit with braindead punching bag enemiea
>>321949746
Take your time and work with what you got. You should have most of it by the end of the game. I would say focus on buying a variety of moves over upgrades to ones you already have.
>>321949746
If you don't mind grinding Lady's mission 2 on Legendary Dark Knight mode is pretty easy and gets you a ton of proud souls.
You can even quit before the boss if you get tired of fighting him.
>>321948296
This >>321949854
Its really the only answer, i mean God Hand would be up there but its not as smooth as either.
>>321950058
It sure is awesome Izuna Dropping everything. =D
So much skill!
>>321948683
Whenever you get hit by something, think "how can I avoid that?", stop attacking entirely, and try to avoid it.
Once you've got surviving down, you can try doing combos in the counterattack windows. Getting to the point where they're stylish and/or damaging is achieved just by trial and error.
>>321949746
Good news. When you switch over to a different character you start with all the proud souls you've ever earned, so the grind is negligible for them.
>Character Action game
Am I speaking to Liam or Woolie? Cut that shit out.
>>321950721
???????
Whatever you're talking about, they didn't make up that term. Character Action game is the accepted nomenclature.
>>321949954

>>321950604
Thanks everyone, guess I'll keep going normally for now and try to enjoy the games as it is
Can't wait to try now stuff tho
>>321950968
They're lets players who tend to have a hard on for character action.
I love ninja gaiden but seeing faggots praise it like the greatest gift to action games is embarrassing.Xbox emulation when?
>dmc4 released 8 years ago
>>321948296
DMC3 with styleswitching
>>321950968
>accepted
L O L
They're still hack and slash games.
What's the point of learning such high skill techniques when there aren't any enemies to apply them to? DMC4 is shit
>>321951189
>faggots
Spot the moron

Because itsfun.

Vergil is confirmed hypemode. Literally teleporting behind niggas everytime, haven't been this motivated in years. I can't get Nero down but I fucking destroy everything as Vergil.
>mfw Rapid Slash lock teleport
>>321948479
>WHO THE FUCK PLAYS DEVIL MAY CRY FOR PLATFORMING, WHY IS IT THERE SO MUCH
Because pacing changes are necessary for any game to not wear out its welcome in an hour and there's not that many ways to achieve that in a 3rd person hack n slash with fixed camera angles.
A shame enemies die so easily.
I prefer God Hand
>>321952075
DMC4 wears its welcome in the first 30 minutes
>>321951480
That's more of a problem in DMC3, though.
>>321952224
That's not nice.
>>321952224
lol
>>321948296
Why are people hyping up DMC4 now?
When it came out, everyone was saying it said it was "meh" and kept comparing it to 3 and 1. It was always good, tbqh familia.
>tfw I can't even time my revs right
>>321951460
you mean beat-em-ups. Just because they use swords instead of fists doesn't change that.
I really want to love this game but it won't let me.
>>321953673
No they're hack and slash games. Beat em ups are like double dragon, streets of rage and anarchy reigns.
So would you rather see a DMC5 or a retcon and remake of DMC2 first? I like Lucia and Dante's look and the setting n stuff. I would like to see all that in a good game with a less emo Dante.
>>321953781
THIS
rebellion, gilgamesh and lucifer are all weak as fuck. dante's ebony and ivory and shotgun are also weak. pandora's okay. they nerfed every style to the point where it isn't fun to play any of them, even though now you technically have all 5, between all of them there's less cool shit than any style in DMC3. also my god the backtracking. at least in 3 it was only 6 missions, here it's half the fucking game.
>>321954036
Lucia a cool. Id like to see her as part of the usual cast.
>>321953781
Don't play Nero on LDK.
>best combat is hidden behind a shitty campaign
>most bosses are also meh at best
I can't deal with it
>>321954619
Delusion might help, it keeps the fans playing 4
>>321954036
DMC2 Dante had the best design too bad the game was the worst.
Anyone here play pic related? It's short and simple, but really satisfying and dare I sayfun.
So royalguard is more of a parry than a block, right?
>>321954987
I just bought it. It's fun desu
>>321955681
I found it on par with Grasshopper's beat-em-ups - it works, and its worth playing, but ultimately shallow as a fucking puddle.
I mean the reason that Bayonetta and DMC flourished was that they had style rankings. That encouraged, strongly, that you play stylishly. It's not a hard concept, but I've yet to see anyone else come close.
>>321955927
Give it a few.
I'm sticking with 3 and Bayonetta. 4 Is just too dull and people keep defending it because of the style change. It's not enough to forgive all of it's flaws in both gameplay, story, nor design.
Ninja Gaiden Black and 2 because they don't just hand you the tools to link combos, you need to nigger rig that shit.
>>321957074
DMC4 is more fun on repeat playthroughs, when you have everything unlocked and can play whatever levels you want.
>>321950294
>this argument again
sure is awesome jump cancel-circling everything
DMC = offensive-based
NGB = defensive-based
>>321956772
I was actually thinking that a style ranking would be both the best and worst addition to the game. It's true that it makes for good incentive when you have a visual or numeric detailing how well you're doing, but because I'm so terrible it would no doubt always be really low. It also funnels players toward a certain playstyle and for a game as shallow as this, that would be a definite drawback.
DMC and Bayonetta have the weapons and styles and such to support multiple playstyles, and that's what allows for a ranking system.
>mfw Vergil
>>321957845
Dude.Vergil.
whoevers in charge of level design needs to be rounded up and shot
>>321957270
no it isn't
Melee and Smash 4 since they're character action games as Sakurai said
Not a party game nor a fighter
>>321961486
>Tr4sh babies think their game is advanced
>>321961272
I disagree with your opinion.
>>321949391
Good taste
