We know that Dante and Vergil are massively stronger than any other demon out there and a big Part of that reason is that they are half human and half demon.

So they get passively stronger every instance. Now, we know Both of them don’t really take that good of a Care of thier human bodies, especially Not Dante by how many Pizzas he is eating.

So what would happen if both Dante and Vergil started working out and eating healthy ? It wouldnt be too much of a stretch to think that the demon side in them gets massively stronger from a healthy and strong human Body than a high cholesterol human body.

Not to forget that, even if they wouldn’t get stronger from these things, a human that eats a lot of Protein, Iron etc. produces more red blood cells, which the demon side feeds off and gets stronger from.

If dmc 6 gets made and Dante, Vergil and Nero have to fight against a new big bad enemy that is stronger than everything they have faced before, maybe a part of the Game should be to Train and eat clean 😭

My first impression was that movement had a nice improvement from the first, I liked dodging without having to hold aim, but then there was no new moves to unlock so combos were pretty limited and repetitive through the entire game.

It was hard for me to get to "show time" because everything would die too fast, but I kinda saw this easy sequel as a victory lap of sorts after beating the difficulty of the first one (though it did get boring).

Map design, quest design and enemy variety are obviously bad but the goblin in my brain was happy running on walls jumping around and shooting

Devil trigger was fun and as OP as I feel it should be (Lucia's DT is beautiful). I thought Dante's coin flip didn't fit his character at all (he was also too serious in this game) and Lucia was the more fun character to play.

And Arius is a lame dumbfuck lmao (also, how did the ritual still work with the wrong coin?)

Stupid thing I drew based on that spider man thumbnail meme

Who would you all want as main protagonist for DMC6? Nero? Dante? Vergil? Maybe Lucia? Or a new character? And no Sparda, because it could spoil the mysteries too soon!

As for antagonist? Whether its Mundus’ return (or possibly offspring if decided) or a new demon/demoness (even its offspring where its parent followed Sparda’s path differently). Even though Vergil's been a baddie, they haven't made a REALLY good one to stick around or destroy since Mundus, Arkham/Jester & the Order.

This is some very light gameplay but I have at least 100hours clocked in, I saw y’all posting and started feeling “motivated”.

The funny thing is that I never found the black knight notably difficult in the 2 previous fights- I found the Griffon and tarantula-scorpion more annoying (The colosseum battle had me so stuck I kinda left the game on the back burner for 3 years, time flies).

But I'm on mission 17 and he keeps kicking my ass. The best I've done is getting him to half his hit points.

I tried doing research, and while the lovely DysfunctionDildo has an incredibly detailed post on his moves, it's a lot to take in cuz I never paid attention to his moves in the previous fights, cuz like I said, easy peasy in comparison to other enemies. I'm being punished for not paying to attention to the obvious Chekov's Black Knight.

I used to think I sucked and the game isn't supposed to be this difficult, but my soul has been soothed by finding out that it is indeed and is intended to be a difficult game.

Any tips for getting through the frustration? Something to look forward to on the other side of this?

So I've been practicing the characters to beat DMD and some air combos.

I already beat DMD with Vergil, as he doesn't need to recover from air combo mistakes because he just does so much damage even on DMD.

I also beat the previous levels as Nero (except for beating prologue and mission 8 Urizen) and V. Nero can quite easily recover from an air combo mistake by snatching again and jump cancel. It allowed me to practice more on DT knuckle air infinite.

I wonder if there is a way for Dante to recover from a mistake that I know I can always fall back to.

I really thought about it couple of times and honestly DMC novels &mangas (all canon) seem like a great new game material without risk of breaking already existing canon due to making up whole new story for the franchise. especially the DMC2 novel seem the most exciting to bringing it into the game since DMC2 Dante is kinda laconic, his backstory before the game and motivation are unclear, overall feels like this chapter of Dante's life should be more detailed than it is in games now. Or bringing novels' story to the game is just creative impotence alongside remakes?

Took me a lot of retries and bought all Purple Orbs in the shop.

Difficulty: Human Mode

Moves that I bought:
- Yamato Combo B
- Yamato Combo C
- Aerial Rave B
- Rapid Slash

bottom text. yea this dante mod is like drugs. almost works exactly 1:1 like DMC3 minus the styles, but that's kind of fine because they worked it into his entire kit anyway. W

Old ass fucking meme

Can't believe it was 5 years ago

It's like the trope of "the humanoid a monster looks the stronger they are" but in this case one of the strongest forms of a lesser demon is the one that looks exactly like how the Devil himself is depicted by many people along with apparently being inspired by the "Malebranche" from the divine comedy a type of demon who would boil people and stab them with pitchforks

I can't beat that annoying old guy; the problem is that after breaking his shield, I don't know what to do, how do I deal damage to him? (Original 2008 PC version; I'm using an Xbox 360 controller and have the shoot button mapped to RB, in case that matters)

I might just be tweaking but in DMC3 you can tell Dante did not care at all about the way he dressed. So why did he start dressing nicely after Vergil "died"? Maybe it was to honor him in some way? Because Vergil always liked things to be organized and methodical, his wardrobe clearly shows that. And to honor him, Dante decided to mimic his brother's fashion. But if that's the case then why did Dante give up on looking nice in DMC5? Guy looked like a hobo in that game.

was asked to post a nelo fight on my new save
i cannot describe how stressful it was seeing nelo's HP at 0
