We Shall Never Surrender - The Devil May Cry 4 Thread - Come on, babes. Let's rock!

Hoping this guy will upload Mission 9 soon. I’m having a hard time passing the room with the Angelo knights and Gladius’.

Did I just witness a Final Atomic Buster!?!?
I’m loving this game more and more…

I was thinking about how they could better DMC5, assuming they make one. It would be sick if they added some multiplayer on it or story co-op. I mean have up to 4 players or so and can choose from nero, dante, trish, and lady. Imagine some crazy combined combos that could bring about. Of course, they’d have to have DMD mode right off the bat to avoid making the game too easy. Also, they really didn’t put to much background on Nero. All I got from the story is that he’s possibly sparda reborn (descendant) and even that was a bit askew.

Co-op in a DMC game seems weird to me, but a versus mode sounds cool and fitting. They already hinted at the possibility in the Nero vs Dante boss battles.

yeah that bugged the shit out of me, I play through the game thinking there would be this big payoff that Nero was possibly like a sparda descendant or relative and to not get the answer sort of miffed me a little.
Hell if he was like Virgil reborn i MIGHT have bought that at least.

That’d be cool too but then it’ll get too close to a fighting game. :sweat: Co-op would be awesome if it could be ONLINE only that way you don’t share a screen and could care less about what the other guy is doing. They could also implement a separate story and everything else for the different characters like how nero gets powers from the bosses. Lady could get a new weapon from them since she’s human etc.

And the last boss said Nero was a descendant of sparda but how could you go just by that? It’s not set in stone and that boss probably knows less about anything else.

This will sound a bit silly, but I actually took a look at Dante’s movelist in the game…and there was a ton of shit I just didn’t know he had. It’s bonkers.

Oh, and Trickster Level 4 = win. Teleporting right above the enemy is just too good. Not even Berial’s random sword swings could catch up with me. I only wish Yamato had been an actual weapon and not a style. Trickster + Yamato would have been way too good.

I actually really enjoy using Yamato in conjunction with Gilgamesh and/or Lucifer. With Gilgamesh, Yamato makes up for its limited air options, and with Lucifer, it gives you an instant-attack to fall back on.

Yeah, that’s the defininte plus side of the DarkSlayer style. I just wish there was a way to use DarkSlayer + the other styles as well. Especially Trickster and SwordMaster. Asking too much? Maybe. Would have been awesome though.

There is if you can quickly mash on the d-pad. :wgrin:

But yeah, it confounds me how people are able to charge Blue Rose shots while doing combos involving grabs and revs. It’s like they have two thumbs per hand or something.

Yamato is a style not a weapon?? Can someone elaborate please?

Yeah, I was having problems with that this morning. It’s almost impossible for me to charge, lock-on, AND slash at the same time. The best I can do is charge and slash without the lock-on.

Level 3 charge shot is soooo good but it takes so long to charge.

In addition to the 4 styles from DMC3 you also get the “DarkSlayer” style. Pressing O lets you attack with Yamato. Yamato itself doesn’t come up in your weapon queue.

Either you slide your thumb around or use another finger while charging. You just get used to it. Actually, you will have to get used to it since charge shot 3 really helps on the harder difficulties for crowd control/shields.

That or change the button placement to R2(RT) or something else.

That’s odd. I’ve seen very few of Yamato’s attacks. What are they?

You get the basic 3-hit combo, the air combo, and the Slash Dimension. That’s about it. Slash Dimension isn’t as good as Vergil’s though. But Yamato is plenty powerful with just that.

That’s it. Dante doesn’t get much out of it compared to Vergil in DMC3.

These “slash dimensions”, those are the attacks that looks like a series of blades locking the enemy in place?

How far can you guys get in the Bloody Palace with just the normal versions of Dante and Nero? It took me for-fucking-ever to beat Berial, and then once I did I made it to Level 26 before getting KO’ed. :sad:

This morning I was frustrated with Secret Mission 12. Trying to stay on ONE tiny little platform while THREE Memphisto’s attack = frustrating as hell. I finally took the easy way out - I activated the platforms, ran back to the beginning, and then fought the Memphisto’s there. Once I killed them all, I reactivated the platforms and crossed the damn vanishing bridge without any Memphisto interference.

Got to 37 as normal Nero.

And I can’t figure how people can play the game comfortably and do those IR combos while charging Blue Rose either. :rofl:

The Secret Missions bug the FUCK outta me. I can’t get that one where you have to gain style points without attacking. I tried Dante + Royal Guard thinking that might be easier…but it wasn’t. :sad: And that one where you have to go through the lasers without getting hit and NO Key of Cronus?! Fuck that.

It was easy for me once I mapped the gun attack to R2. I just charge with my middle finger while my pointer finger is on lock-on (R1) and I’m set – my thumbs are free. I can do all my combos and L3 charge at the same time and I just release my middle finger when It’s charged.
