I have to agree with this on blitz. I do find that a charged up shotgun is quite good against him to get rid of the shield as the shotgun fires quicker when you are in the air. I am hating the 4 frosts in the toture chamber in SoS (the mission where you fight the other toad). I can do it but late at night patience is not a virtue.
P.S forgot that frost was in DMC1. Couldn’t help myself after reading the back stories and decided to play 1 and 3 again. God I miss Agni and Rudra (swords)
The truth. Agni and Rudra owned the fuck out of all the other weapons Dante gets in DMC4. Yamato would be cooler if they hadn’t gimped it by making it Style moves only instead of a complete weapon.
I miss Vergil’s run-slash with Yamato, and the launcher. I miss Vergil. I mean, I guess props to Capcom for actually keeping the character dead, but at the same time he was way too cool, and I don’t think too many people would have objected to him being resurrected for 4.
I can see 5 going along the lines of the devil bringer is Vergil on Nero and will try to take control of his mind and it will be left to Dante to sort the mess out. Final battle being Nero vs Vergil for control.
Actually, having a full Disaster meter when using the missile battery gives you two abilities.
It lets you stay in the air longer… and if you press Circle while the missile battery is active, you’ll unleash a FULL missile attack like the attack you see in the cutscene when you get Pandora (it’s about 8 - 9 missiles) instead of just the one missile you get when pressing Square.
So it is. Damn I am so unoriginal sometimes its just bad. Mundus return maybe? Remebering that battle from 1 where you had to shoot him in space and then shoot him when you land was epic. I can’t believe I did it on DMD mode but then having a stupid amount of untouchable stars helped. Look at me already speculating about 5 when 4 has just arrived. Love the series and just want more.
I am honestly sort of surprised that Vergil wasn’t in DMC4, it seemed like they were setting it up for him to appear in one way or another…and he just didn’t.
I think I read in an interview somewhere that they were waiting to see the reception for DMC4 before deciding the direction of 5. If that’s true, I think one thing is clear at least: NEEDS MORE DANTE/VERGIL. Vergil trying to take control of Nero would be an awesome storyline. Hey Capcom, are you listening out there?
I’m on dante must die mode. It’s the most annoying mode of them all because the enemies take CRAZY damage when they hit you. Plus they got this weird demon form where they get possessed or something and become a lot stronger defensively. Sometimes you can’t even grab them with Nero in that state. And Mission 6 boss battle is TOO ANNOYING. Berial was frustrating until I figured out how to beat him efficiently, but they still take chunks of life and their defense is like maxed out so they take longer to kill now. For the first time I actually find myself buying items lol! You’ll need em… Lets just say overall DmD mode puts your DMC skills to the test.
And honestly, its really silly how capcom is acting as if DMC2 never existed. Like DMC2 was responsible for the holocaust or something. DMC3 is before 1. . ok cool. DMC 4 is after 3, which is still before 2. . lol I mean really. Remake the game (DMC2) or just continue the storyline, its not that big of a deal.
All this jumping around and avoiding the DMC2 storyline is a bit unnecessary when you think about it. DMC 5 can just as easily be AFTER 2 and unrelated.
I’m extremely tempted to get this game early since EVERYONE appears to say that it’s hard. I always picked up games on that note but never found them too difficult ie. shinobi, nightshade, ninja gaiden, COD4 (veteran), and a bunch of others I can’t really remember. They always end up being a little hard but not enough for me to say anything about it. I saw some vids of DMD mode and it seems that if you’re always on the offensive it makes it really easy. Guess I won’t know till I play it myself.
What? I beat COD4 on veteran, check out my gamertag since I have ALL the achievements. I beat shinobi a LONG time ago but it was extremely fun not hard.
