I don't know the patterns to any of these bosses, I just slash away. I'll have to go back and read up on strategies so I can get S rankings

I love the Buster moves when you use them. Pounding away at Credo - FTW

demi · « **Reply #121 on:** February 08, 2008, 12:30:58 AM »

OMG I love using Devil Buster on bosses. Just seeing Nero beat the fuck out of them and that slo-mo punch on the holiness, so satisfying

But now I am Dante and fingering my soppy cooch

drohne · « **Reply #122 on:** February 08, 2008, 04:12:18 AM »

this really picks up after the first few missions, thank god -- the credo fight was fuckin awesome. add me on xbl if you're playing the 360 version -- my gamertag is 'drohne.' my friends leaderboard is pretty barren right now. i want to see if i suck.

Drohne, which difficulty did you start on? Is normal really easy?

demi · « **Reply #124 on:** February 08, 2008, 04:15:08 AM »

I added you, drohne, though I'm not interested in Leaderboards

Devil Hunter is cake

devil hunter, which is already pretty easy for a dmc game -- human is probably a joke

hyp · « **Reply #126 on:** February 08, 2008, 04:18:29 AM »

i pretty much suck ass at dmc, so help me. how does EXCEED work and what's the proper timing for using it?

drohne · « **Reply #127 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.

Just use Automatic

hyp · « **Reply #129 on:** February 08, 2008, 04:37:27 AM »

thanks guys. so that's what automatic is for... i don't recall any explanations in the tutorials.

demi · « **Reply #130 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.

abrader · « **Reply #131 on:** February 08, 2008, 04:53:49 AM »

wwww-wait up...

you can rev the sword in between swings?

I usually run round dodging while revving it up the the max level.....but i can do it while fighting?

demi · « **Reply #132 on:** February 08, 2008, 04:54:30 AM »

Yes, you have to time it

Rman · « **Reply #133 on:** February 08, 2008, 09:37:07 AM »

Devil Hunter is much easier than the default difficulty in DMC vanilla. I never played the special edition--which apparently ''fixed'' the difficulty. I'm in mission 4. I just picked up my copy yesterday. I'm loving it so far.

yep... whack LT exacrtly when the blade connects to the baddie, you'll get a whole rev level! then you can streak their asses or whatver

If you look at Gloria in the Character Viewer,it's pretty much official she isn't wearing any underwear.

smh

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #143 on:** February 09, 2008, 01:58:35 AM »

I like DMC4 so far, and I also like Nero better than Dante for some reason lol

demi · « **Reply #144 on:** February 09, 2008, 02:19:31 AM »

Yeah, the change between Nero -> Dante was hard to get used to, then when I'm fine with Dante, they give me Nero and suddenly I have trouble adjusting to Nero

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

Gonna do a run in Human mode for the achievements and extra Blue Orb Fragments I missed. Some of those Secret Missions are annoying and hard as fuck.

Junpei the Tracer! · « **Reply #145 on:** February 09, 2008, 02:27:40 AM »

Doesn't any care about pantiless Gloria? :'(

no, Its really gross to talk about female characters in videogames in a sexual manner

Im having trouble with mission 4 :'( I guess Im too hungover for this shit

I know I'm weak.

I was slightly disappointed in the final boss fight,I was sorta expected Vergil-esque fight and it was too easy except towards the end.

Secret Mission 12 is impossible,there is no humanly way someone can do that.

And I'm still having problems with Insta-Rev,also one time Dante changed styles and I didn't press the d-pad.

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

Junpei the Tracer! · « **Reply #157 on:** February 09, 2008, 06:12:12 PM »

Hard mode is hard,me no having fun anymore.

demi · « **Reply #158 on:** February 09, 2008, 06:31:26 PM »

Meh, I just use Automatic, works for me

demi · « **Reply #159 on:** February 09, 2008, 06:37:29 PM »

Well when you buy the MAX-Act ability, Automatic helps a ton when you suddenly see your exceed bar filled up and you're about to get some mad style points for your next hit

MCD · « **Reply #160 on:** February 09, 2008, 06:39:43 PM »

in secret mission 1, i got S and SS stylish combos achievements with just slashing and grabbing, i would have made it to SSS if it weren't for the timer.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #161 on:** February 10, 2008, 04:17:00 AM »

maybe youre just good at the game, big boy

demi · « **Reply #162 on:** February 10, 2008, 04:18:01 AM »

I think only the picky ones complain about Automatic. Automatic is just fine.

demi · « **Reply #163 on:** February 10, 2008, 06:49:26 AM »

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.

MCD · « **Reply #164 on:** February 10, 2008, 12:51:43 PM »

holy shit, i just bought a skill called table hopper and this shit makes the game much more fun and easier.

berial was a fucking joke with this.

*goes back to grinding*

Junpei the Tracer! · « **Reply #165 on:** February 10, 2008, 02:21:13 PM »

Automatic is pretty cool. It truly helps having the gun charged during fight,my fingers can only do so much.

someone on gaf suggested mapping the gun button to RB so you can charge it while exceeding or attacking with your sword, pretty neat.

I've tried this,my fingers can't keep it up for long but it is certainly neat.

fuck Devil Hunter mode is pwning me, stupid toad boss. Might have to admit Im a DMC noob and start using items or just play on Human 1st

demi · « **Reply #169 on:** February 11, 2008, 05:08:41 AM »

Once you beat the game and you have all the abilities (well at least your first run), the game is so cake. You can just Devil Trigger the bosses and wail the fuck out of them.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #170 on:** February 11, 2008, 05:21:29 AM »

yeah I might just beat the game on Human fast and get all the moves, rather than worry about S ranking stages with my limited moveset. Automatic is definitley helping

demi · « **Reply #171 on:** February 11, 2008, 05:23:21 AM »

Only elitist turds say don't use Automatic. Whatever, I'm having fun, and I'm getting S ranks. The only things that really matter are time and orbs (ugh) -- problem is I don't know if I'm missing any hidden orb caches. 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.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #172 on:** February 11, 2008, 05:33:57 AM »

Yeah I dont get people like that, its not like Automatic is a cheat or anything, they give you the option so why not take advantage of it?

Yeah I'll keep rocking Devil Hunter, Its only as hard as DMC3 at least and I managed to finish that. Toads pattern was kinda easy to figure but those tentacool bitches confused me a little

Havent really had enough time to get a good session in on this game yet, been playing Gears co-op with a friend instead

The Sceneman · « **Reply #173 on:** February 11, 2008, 05:41:03 AM »

holy fuck Ive been scoping out the achievements, is this one of the hardest 1000's ever?

demi · « **Reply #174 on:** February 11, 2008, 05:53:23 AM »

Not really, you can get a decent amount even if you suck.

drew · « **Reply #175 on:** February 11, 2008, 06:44:46 AM »

I don't get automatic mode...I mean it's not like the combo's are particularly long and complicated or anything. Do people use it because they're lazy and don't want to learn the combo's or something?

demi · « **Reply #176 on:** February 11, 2008, 07:00:42 AM »

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?

Junpei the Tracer! · « **Reply #177 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.

Rman · « **Reply #178 on:** February 11, 2008, 10:13:33 AM »

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.
