If it's the door above the Torture Chamber, behind the bars, you can't open it for some time. Like I said in the other thread, it really is a bit aimless. Just keep going the only way you can (use the Devil Bringer to get to an opening midway along the side of that room)...you'll get to that door eventually. Prediction: By that time, you'll have forgotten utterly of the existence of that door.

Is that the bit with the red bouncy platforms? If so, that's what you do. I don't think you even need the Devil Bringer for that bit...only if you want to go for the various orbs lying around.

I have no clue. I think you probably need some unlockable technique first. I pointed this out in the other thread too. There's no downside to doing it but it's annoying that they don't describe it better, or give some kind of hint. Not quite NG Mission Mode, is it...

demi - don't worry too much about finding them; very soon (after the Bael fight) you will have a new ability that makes your Devil Bringer light up whenever you're near something of interest.

Title: Re: Official Devil May Cry 4 thread
Post by: The Sceneman on February 06, 2008, 11:28:05 PM
you'd think so, seeing as there is achivements for unlocking all of a certain characters moves (or so I have assessed)

generally you cant max out a character from one playthrough in the other DMC games (at least I never did), it would be mean to not be able to redo levels

but I havent played the game, dont listen to me
Title: Re: Official Devil May Cry 4 thread
Post by: Himu on February 06, 2008, 11:31:12 PM
Gave the demo a swirl. Hmmm. The controls are pretty much perfect for me on the 360. I'm totally fine the LB and RB buttons.

Can someone tell me if the final game fixes these issues I have with the combat in the full game? I'll be playing on Devil Bringer mode btw.

Nero's interesting, but he's definitely not my style. Then again, this is based on the demo. He's interesting though. I like the Devil Bringer platforming, and it'd be interesting to see it in full effect in the game. My problem with it, at least in the demo, is that it is so easily exploitable. Right when I learned the RB + B attack that lets Nero grab any enemy could be easily exploitable if Capcom doesn't balance the game right.

I learned a neat combo trick: Knock up enemy in the air -> jump -> jump off of enemy's back for extra air -> do a few shots with your gun -> let the enemy hit the ground, target him and then grab him in mid air -> do a few slashes -> touch the ground -> taunt -> repeat.

By doing this the Marionettes never had the chance to touch me since I was in the air most of the time, and plus, with the d.b. you can grab pretty much any enemy in your vicinity right? Hmmm. It seems great for comboing, at least. I wonder if enemies in the full game punish you for using such an exploit.

I hate timed demos. Haven't fought the boss yet, still trying out various combos and such. I've gotten to A so far. Haven't managed to get to S yet, but then again, the last time the demo stopped on me Marionettes kept coming and coming, so I can see myself getting at least an S next time.

Wish I had money for the full game. =/

Nero is pretty decent. The Devil Bringer is pretty cool and a great way to build up combos/impress your friends. My only real complaints about Nero is as far as I know, he doesn't get the cool weapons like Dante does which is hilariously dumb and the Blue Rose is just awful and feels like it does NOTHING.

As a whole DMC4 is a solid game. The only sad part is that I payed $60 for the game and by years end I'll probably need to buy a SE to play as Dante whole game. Unless however capcom does DLC for it.


spoiler (click to show/hide)
His Devil Bringer is like the new QTE. Expect Bionic commando to do some goofy shit like in the Berial fight.

Ninja Gaiden redeemed!  The Buster is this game's flying swallow.  Listen Cohen, I could go through the game killing the grunts with two hits and the white knights easily with their own shivs again and again...but that's distinguished mentally-challenged and not the way to play the game.  I hope you realize how distinguished mentally-challenged your arguement now is.

Post by: drohne on February 07, 2008, 02:13:30 AM
the difference between the flying swallow and nero's buster -- if in fact it's as universally applicable as drewsy thinks -- is that ninja gaiden's scoring is based on speed while dmc's scoring is based on combo variety. ninja gaiden offers an incentive to abuse flying swallow, dmc offers a disincentive to abuse any one move

the combat's great, but the 'puzzle' and 'exploration' and 'platforming' elements are painful, and there seems to be more of that stuff than ever. i don't want to say how long it took me to figure out that stupid room with the spikes and the blue grabby points. i <3 capcom, but i swear they have some kind of collective learning disability

but I see what you're saying.

He's not specifically talking about final score. In order to max your red orb count, you need to SSS like every major setpiece. You can't do that by abusing the buster.

The platforming is pretty ass. You can't move Nero in the air when he's falling. That's so wtf. And the puzzle with the spinning blade things was torturous. This is definitely a Capcom game.

You get proud souls when you die, and when you beat a level. Just keep dying and continuing I suppose.

From what I played of the demo, this will be like Ratchet and Clank for PS3, polished but more of the same...for fans. Luckily I am at least more of a fan of DMC than Ratchet and Clank.

I think that is an adequate comparison point.

Also, the cut scenes generally don't seem as fun.  They have their moments, but like DMC3's cutscenes didn't take themselves seriously at all.  I am guessing now that DMC is TEH ANIMU they had to alter their approach.

I really think DMC3 felt more spectacular....

I need to play more of this tho....

I just remember DMC3 grabbing me by the balls and entertaining me wildly with the fighting stances and weapons...

It was so Ninja turtles ;)

This feel more like DMC1 to me.

Mission 10 is the mission after I fight the beetle guy mrite?

Yes,indeed.Hmmm,just don't leave the castle,when you see more lasers and the time control thing,you're going the right way.

Once you leave the room,keep going down,down the elavator,down the stairs,until you reach the main corridor with the lasers on the floor.Then go north,you'll be outside with the bridge that was blocked by the plant,cross it and there you go.

Title: Re: Official Devil May Cry 4 thread
Post by: drohne on February 08, 2008, 04:24:46 AM
basically if you hit the left trigger at the right moment during a move, you'll fill up one slot on your exceed meter, which increases the power of your next hit. the timing varies from move to move...with the regular combo and the air combo it's shortly after you press the attack button, with high time it's just as nero brings the sword behind his back, with splitter it's when you hit the ground, etc. it's really fun once you get the hang of it.

Title: Re: Official Devil May Cry 4 thread
Post by: demi on February 08, 2008, 04:48:10 AM
Automatic basically does random revs for you, but it's not as precise and as good as doing it normally. It also charges up your guns (should you ever bother using them) randomly as well.

It will get you by just fine, I use it because I can't be bothered to learn how to be precise. I've hit SSS just fine on several occasions.

I beat it. Awesome end. Better than GOW2's QTE. At least it's semi-skill based. I got the extra end.

I've noticed that you lose style points slower, but there isn't any way to build them quickly like 3.

Using the Rev moves increases your style quickly, and if you leave the style deplete it stays on that letter as long as you dont get hit

Got all the Blue Orbs.

You can get a decent amount of points just by getting all the farming achievements.

Sucks that you have to max out -every- item just for an achievement. Buying all items and skills - easy 150. I think my peak will be Hell or Hell mode. No way can I do that. Probably the Bloody Tower with an S as well, or even finishing it.

Currently cranking out S ranks on Human mode. On Level 11 right now.

ALSO, dear god I just discovered a newfound love for Pandora. OMG I was getting S combos so quickly. That devastation laser is GODLIKE. My new favorite weapon as Dante. And when you max out your Disaster Gauge, just leap in the air when there's a bunch of enemies, and WHAMMO. Need to look up how to do that Omen move.

Only elitist turds say don't use Automatic. Whatever, I'm having fun, and I'm getting S ranks.

The only bonus I get is "No Item" and that helps me get S even with a S A S ranking (or any variant of the three).

Don't beat it on Human, stick with Devil Hunter, it will get you comfortable with the game more than Human would. IT prepares you for the much-much harder difficulties.

Automatic doesn't even dial-a-combo anyway, I'm not even sure what that means. All I've noticed is that it revs at random times, and charges your gun for you at random times. Big deal?
Title: Re: Official Devil May Cry 4 thread
Post by: Junpei the Tracer! on February 11, 2008, 10:10:30 AM
Automatic is great in the higher difficulties because a charged shot can get a enemy off your back.It also occasionally damages enemies for with a small explosion(I'm positive of this now)Strangely,I had problems with Sanctus on SoS last night,some of the automated attacks didn't really help and even got me hit a lot.I had to use a fucking vital star. Using Dante with automatic is fucking distinguished mentally-challenged and will most likely you killed than help you,it is nice he goes through Pandora's forms faster though.

360 d-pad fucking sucks,this shit is gonna get me killed.

I beat over the weekend on devil hunter.  I loved it.  Also Nero>>>Dante.  Exceed system, better DT, and owning bosses with the Devil Bringer is too fun.  DH difficulty is much easier than the normal in DMC3.  Human is a joke.  I started playing human to collect more proud souls, finish the secret missions, and collect all the blue fragments.  DMC4 also inspired me to started re-playing DMC3 again also.  I'm a big action game fan, and while DMC4 doesn't do anything revolutionary, I'm still having a tons of fun with it.

I finished it on Saturday night. Truly awesomesauce.

Dante is so freaking developed in this game. Spin him off if they're going to focus on nero (and frankly, they could, Nero's combat rocks too).

God the secret ending is so fucking awesome  :lol

easy auto is for lamerz. It was called Easy Automatic in the original for a reason, plebs.

(It will hurt you on boss fights, imo, but other than that it doesn't hamper anyone but people that really know what they are doing)

Capcom should really be chastised for their super cheapoing this game with asset reuse, but whatever, they're going to see the franchise uptick worldwide (thanks to the...ps3 in japan??? lawl), so they're probably very happy. And DMC5 is basically guaranteed.

You probably hit the correct button combination for the High Roller. I still have to time my slashes just like anyone else, to do Roulette Spin, and the various Red Queen Combos. Once again, exagerration from the critics.

wtffffff

with my 20 minutes experience with having automatic turned on it was not some 'random dial-a-combo' all it fucking did was rev up my sword randomly as i slashed away, you still have total control over what moves you do. You guys have either been misinfomred or you havent been paying attention

No. I do have control.  But it sometimes spams moves that I don't want to use atm.  Like the high-roller in the above example.

If you do high roller, then you should be adept (adapt?) at quickly spicing things up, turning that High Roller into a Roulette Spin, or slamming him down, or Devil Bustering him. I still don't understand the dial-a-combo complaint.

I'm not complaining about it being like a dial-a-combo.  What I'm complaining about is more regarding the lack of TOTAL control in the auto mode.

Not much, just in between rooms and before cutscenes, usually for like 3 or 4 seconds.  Doesn't bother me though, it's pretty much the coolest loading graphic ever.

S ranked Devil Hunter! Finally can start Son of Sparda. I already did te first mission and got an S rank on that.

Currently:

#92 overall on Human -- there is a Toledo person ranked #7! Sent him a message.

... any suggestions?
Title: Re: Official Devil May Cry 4 thread
Post by: demi on February 15, 2008, 03:34:34 PM
For both Dante fights, just spam your Snatch. Having it upgraded to Level 2 is best. To keep him busy, shoot at him so he is too busy deflecting bullets. Walk towards him, then jump in the air and snatch him. Then slam him to the ground.

If you snatch him on the floor, chances are he will do a Stinger on you, so roll out of the way after you snatch unsuccessfully. If you try it again, he'll probably Stinger again. So for majority of the fight try to constantly jump towards him in the air, and just Snatch and Devil Buster him.

If you connect on the floor, usually a scene of them clashing swords happens. Several things can happen here, depending on the style he's using. Royal Guard, it usually ends in a stale mate, and you have to slice him quickly or he will slice you first. Gunslinger, he usually gets the upper hand and shoots you (which is why you buster him from above). Sword Master, you will deflect his word and fling him away, damaging him.

It is not a very hard fight. On the upper difficulties, he starts using Pandora a lot.

This is what I've been doing. I can get about 1/2 of his life knocked out, but then he kicks my ass.

Another cheap tactic is to stand on the middle platform and just let Dante come to you and snatch him when he jumps

Title: Re: Official Devil May Cry 4 thread
Post by: demi on June 28, 2008, 02:19:36 AM
* Abilities go up in price because they do - shrug - you'll buy majority of them by the end of your Devil Hunter run

* Get TRIGGER HEART (when available) and AIR HIKE, MAX-ACT, then upgrade SNATCH, CHARGE SHOT, and just various sword moves

* You can spam the Buster but if you're going for S ranks, that wont cut it, you have to mix it up

* There will be more enemies as you go up the difficulties, and different enemy placements, and how much damage they can take

* You don't really need to play the other games to understand the story, but there are basically nods to the previous games
Title: Re: Official Devil May Cry 4 thread
Post by: CHOW CHOW on June 28, 2008, 02:00:13 PM
Cool
One thing I don't like is the responsiveness of the sword.  It takes too long to attack.  Compare it to NG2 and how quickly the sword (or any weap) slashes and the super fast combos you can do.  Hell, even the big ass scythe in NG2 is faster than the sword in DMC4.  I will have to get used to this but I wish it was faster.  The enemy AI is really bad, too.

Sword is plenty faced when you have it revved. Learn the IR and experience bliss. Human mode and Devil Hunter suck but if you're achievement whoring you need to run through both for achievements. And the game picks up on SoS mode somewhat. If you like combat, you'll love the bloody palace.

Post by: CHOW CHOW on June 29, 2008, 01:54:07 PM
I'm up to like mission 14 now.  Dante's combat is more fun and his sword is faster, so that's good.  I still think there's too much running around from point A to point B.  The game should have a lot more combat.  None of this backtracking, running around and weak platforming. 

The best things about the game are the cut scenes and gfx, imo.  The cut scenes are shameless... they're really great and stylish.  The gfx are fucking sick.  The textures are unreal.  The environments look fantastic.  So much polish and stuff.

The gameplay, though, is seriously lacking.  Maybe I would've enjoyed this game more if I played it first then NG2 after.  The combat is nowhere near as deep, responsive and satisfying.  Not even in the same league.  That doesn't make DMC4 a bad game... like I said, the cut scenes, gfx, and overall presentation are fantastic and make it worth a playthrough.  I'm not sure I'll play it again, though. 

Btw, what's with the achievements?  I haven't gotten a single one yet :lol

as an NG fan it pains me to say this, but the combat in DMC4 is much deeper (when you have everything and all powered up.) but its not as responsive or satisfying.
