I'm doing my first play through of this game. Is there a "right" way to play this game? Like vanquish shouldn't be played like gears of war?

gitgud and smoking sick style
>>341735063
It's just a shitty meme game, don't take it too serious.
smoking sick style is the only true way
Use 1 combo over and over again, no use doing anything fancy
Against bosses you can just sit back and spam the gun
>>341735063
Taunt as often as possible(in combat) , go for high rankings, experiment, don't be afraid to go Manuel and learn how to charge your sword dependently. Also try to use your Grab attack on enemies in different circumstances, e.g you can throw weapons back/suplex/elbow drop
>>341735063
Practice combos, for Nero practice revving the sword after each hit it dramatically increases your damage output and makes your moves combo on their own if you're no good with combos.
Practice on trash mobs not on anything weirder you'll just take damage trying to do it right.
(A 1 hit move will somehow hit like 4 times)

>watching a friend play DMC4
>he just does this for the most part
I wonder how many DMC fans just do this. Not that it's "wrong" but it makes the game a lot less fun to play. Reminds of watching Game Grumps playing Viewtiful Joe and how Ego didn't understand that you're supposed to combo as many enemies as possible in slow motion together.
>>341735063
>Is there a "right" way to play this game?
Experiment like fuck. You only know 3 combos/moves? learn 2 more. Only know 5? learn 2 more. repeat until you know them all, then use them all. Taunt every chance you get because Nero and Dante and Vergil are cocky mother fuckers, and NEVER use items.
Not so vital but if you want maximum style, download DMC1 Dante mod then the Alastor mod for, visually, best Dante.

Holy fuck, when I played this game all I did when charging for Nero was stand back and slowly charge to full before unleashing the sword, it never occurred to me that you could charge mid combo and then use it for a launcher/charge move.
Also Nero's grab is pretty nicely versatile. I wish he got another melee weapon and another gun but the grab makes bosses so fun for Nero to fight. That and setting up the drop kick on the armor enemies is awesome.
>>341735063
Spend your orbs on more moves so you can get better ranks so you can get more orbs so you can get more moves...
What's the difference between automatic and not-automatic? I've been playing without it.
>>341736514
>you could charge mid combo
Oh, this makes a lot of sense. I thought it was just something you did between fights.
Don't play with automatic on.
Learn to use launchers and pause combos.
>>341737610
you can just spam triangle/Y and the game would do random "combos" for you, it was introduced in DMC3SE i believe
>>341737610
Automatic literally auto-completes combo inputs for you.
WHY ISN'T THERE A FUCKING TRAINING MODE!?
>>341737631
What does automatic do anyways?
>>341735063
Mix up your moves as much as possible, not just mash a button or repeat a single combo. Try to get high grades in combos, otherwise it'll get stale.
>>341735063
playing a fully upgraded Dante is the best experience you will have in the game, literally unlimited possibilities
you can even jump cancel a Lucifer rose if you're gangster, guard flying all over the place, one shotting Saviour with a DT distorted real impact etc
What's a good combo to do with Nier other than
close gap > attack > launch > attack > smash to the floor > demon fist
Sorry for not knowing the names of the attacks.
I've been doing this pretty much all the time and it worked so far.
Don't use items that much
Expirement with moves and see what moves synergise with each other.

>What does automatic do anyways?
It just makes the game throw out a bunch of fucking random combos with you mashing attack without any inputs.
Turns it into a cinematic western action game basically. You might aswell not even play DMC4 if you're gonna use this mode.
>>341738591
Makes you do weird shit, like mashing attack will some how get you to the later parts of Dance Macabre and Drive, I think
>>341738942
Nero's sword, sword, pause, sword, sword is a great combo that has slightly bigger AoE and also looks really cool.
>>341735063
Be stylish
>tfw really want to get back into dmc but jump cancelling shit takes way too much practice and the 360 controller keeps messing up style switches
Soul crushing

If you really enjoy the game and want to git Dante Must Die SSS gud expect to dump around 40 to 50 hours into practicing in bloody palace and then another 40 to 50 into learning the main levels.
>>341739313
yeah jump cancelling is a pain to learn but is super satisfying to do once mastered, still, no amount of practice will allow me to jump cancel helm breaker ;(
>>341735352
>Spam the gun against bosses
>fight takes 5 years on anything other than easy.
This is the actual equivalent of playing Vanquish like GoW
>>341739586
Is human easy mode? It feels more like normal difficulty to me.
I take hits from enemies from time to time and boss fights take me 2-3 tries.
>>341739871
Human is easy.
>>341735063
When playing DMC3 and 4 I replay the first couple of mission on repeat a couple of times. Getting the feel for the basic enemies and earning orbs for new moves, varying up the combat.
>>341739871
>I take hits from enemies from time to time and boss fights take me 2-3 tries.
Yes, Human is easy.
Your jump has i-frames however and enemies generally telegraph their attacks heavily in this game. It might seem hard at first but once you got the basics down it shouldn't be much of a problem. It just plays differently than most other games so it comes off harder to newcomers.
>>341735063
How the hell do I get through dmd on dmc3? The moment an enemy goes Dt, everything falls apart. Devil bringer and style switching made it relatively easy in 4, but I'm fucking dying to everything.
>>341739440
>gun to trigger
Only on nero though
>>341739871
Human is supposed to be easy mode, i reckon you dont unlock anything when you complete it, and having to redo hunter with all the power ups its going to be boring as hell
>>341740424
What do you unlock?
As much as I love this game to death, the time required to pull of those sick donguri-tier combos would be better spent learning several musical instruments.
>>341739382
COOR

COORESTO
>>341740474
Mostly new difficulties, a epilogue, infinite devil trigger modes, ending screens, the blood palace. I dont remember which unlocks wich, its been like 8 years.
Git gud
>>341740618
It doesn't take THAT long to get good at DMC.
Jump cancelling and style/weapon switching mid combo is for higher tier play, but absolutely not something nesseccary. I've got over 2000 hours in DMC4 and you can still pretty much enjoy the game fully once you grasp the lock on inputs and pause combos.
You don't need to be amazing at the game to really enjoy it.
>>341741329
Well yeah, but once you finish all the content you just really want to do those sick combos every cool kid is doing.
>>341741315
This shit looks tool assisted as fuck.
So is upgrading to Extended Edition worth it? Been a while since I booted up the normal game.
>>341741893
Honestly i wouldnt be surprised if someone like brea could pull this off
>play dmc4 on human mode because i assumed every dmc game is hard as shit
>was fun but too easy
>then play the original US dmc3 not knowing about the difficulty
>actually got to A&R
>>341742130
I've seen a lot of high level play that looks unreal but that webm seriously makes me wonder.
The last combo on Dante in the air especially. The level of frame discipline seems to good to not be TA
>>341742164
Dmc3 is a lot more challanging (and well designed, in my opinion, save for all that nasty backtracking in some levels) game. I feel like the hard part in dmc4 higherdifficulties is actually getting to the boss(and learning that you can punch the dice into the air to cheat the minigame)
