Since getting to the Dante levels, I have spent much more time in the skill list section of the pause menu. Any time I have successfully changed styles mid combo have been massive dopamine hits.

Since getting to the Dante levels, I have spent much more time in the skill list section of the pause menu. Any time I have successfully changed styles mid combo have been massive dopamine hits. I have honestly avoid buying many new skills for Dante yet because I'm trying to not overwhelm myself with possibilities. There is something I am clearly missing about how the motorcycle weapon is supposed to be used. The boss fights fine so far. It's the least interesting part of the game for me outside of V levels but at least they aren't intensely frustrating.

Based on previous experience with DMC, DMC3, and Bayonetta, I decided to play the game on Human difficulty. Generally, I tend to struggle with character action games, but maybe I have gotten better.

Based on previous experience with DMC, DMC3, and Bayonetta, I decided to play the game on Human difficulty. Generally, I tend to struggle with character action games, but maybe I have gotten better. I am able to chain together combos of different moves very smoothly due to this lower difficulty and am having a lot of fun. I think I am likely to replay the game of higher difficulties after my first playthrough as everything feels great to perform in this game. Nero gameplay is solid, but I am still unsure about V. I can't tell if trying to use specific moves feel worth it. Maybe after a little more time and practice I can get some cool combos cooking. While still fun, so far it is not as satisfying as the more traditional DMC gameplay of Nero.

Dmc5's graphical fidelity is incredible

But the artstyle is absolutely awful

So I'm overall negative about this game's visuals

Day 12: Devil May Cry 5's opening video, of which today's music track starts around the 2 minute mark, is silly and OTT and I love it. It's like sugar. (

) The full track is worth a listen too.

yeah I think I'm gonna take a break on this one. I really enjoy the game, but want to play it on devil hunter instead. I don't want to go back and replay the old missions, so I'm gonna give it some time until I want to pick it up again.

I wish I was playing this game on devil hunter difficulty. The game is too easy and I haven't died once. Whatever my final thoughts are, I'm gonna need a second playthrough one day to really know what I think of the game.

Late response, but I LOVE DMC 5, but as someone who primarily plays on PC, the news that SE won't come to PC is really disappointing. The reasons why the modes and ray tracing option are not coming to PC are questionable? Why is only Vergil coming to PC, but not the modes. Why not an update to add a …

Late response, but I LOVE DMC 5, but as someone who primarily plays on PC, the news that SE won't come to PC is really disappointing. The reasons why the modes and ray tracing option are not coming to PC are questionable? Why is only Vergil coming to PC, but not the modes. Why not an update to add a ray-tracing option?

Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is specifically being developed and optimised to benefit the system architecture and leap in processing power offered by PS5 and Xbox Series X, so we're focusing on these platforms.

Only like 4 missions left. Really very very good game. I am shocked at how much I'm enjoying it.

After getting into jump cancelling relatively recently, I decided to make a tutorial aimed at beginners. Hopefully it will act as a shortcut for someone who is completely new to the concept, as I was.

Finished game on Devil Hunter (normal) difficulty. I don't remember liking game this much. I'll try beating it on harder difficulty now.

Man, that's how you do a hack-n-slash game without "ruining the storyline and being repetitive".

Best cutscenes i've ever seen.

Definetely gonna play it again and again.

I mean, this game is GOOD. Very good.
