Dante's allowance - $100
DMC4 and MGR are the two action games I constantly go back to, because they just feel so right. I also have over a hundred hours into this, and I can't wait to do it all over again, so I'm right there with ya, Beef Waifu.

The time has come and so have I :madmax:

I have yet to shove 100+ hours into MGR. That being said I got 70+ out of that one and boy let me tell you does that games content stop after 30+.

This will also be my fourth time for me. I had it for the 360 (RROD'd) and then ps3. Then I bought the PC version.

And you best believe I'm gonna buy this one as well. DMC4 is great even if half of the levels are the same with Dante, it's still different enough with how Dante controls.

Except the dice. Don't miss that. :v:

This will be my third time buying the game. I had all S ranks on all difficulties on the 360 (except mission 18 on DMD). Then the PC version came and I spent most of my time playing bloody palace and LDK mode.

I wonder if they will track stage ranks by character since for the first batch of missions you can play as Nero, Lady and Vergil.

More on topic, I hope this comes on a steam sale soon because goddamn, I need to play as Vergil, he looks rad as gently caress.

Gotta say, Uncle Dante looks quite a bit better with the stubble rather than the clean shaven look. Which is odd considering Vergil pulls clean shaven off well and shares the face model.

It'll by my third purchase of DMC 4 too.

Lady Stream, the moveset is in this video but a bit later.She looks super fun, like a weird mix between Nero (in that remapping shoot to a shoulder button is a necessity) and Gunslinger Style. This game is going to be so neat, holy poo poo.

I'm trying to remember what she does to move the game along and I remember she spray paints a block Dante couldn't reach in an early level so he can get up to a higher platform so yeah, she is literally infinitely more useful than Kyrie.

Here is an image of the Collector's Edition on CDJapan which has yet to be updated because this listing was made prior to us seeing the stuff in the CE. It is being listed at 10314 yen because that is a website that does imports and it needs coverage fees for shipping and handling and yadda yadda. The actual cost for the item is about 7000+ yen.



Here is the image of the CE on the website now that we've seen everything. It is being listed at 7398 + Shipping and it fills in literally every single black box on the above picture.



It's the same one.

This Vergil can't share Uncle Dante's face model, they're decades apart in the timeline. If Vergil survived to DMC4's time, he would either have a full beard to play off Dante's stubble, or an evil twin goatee

It would fit his whole robed Kenshiro look he was going for in the intro cutscene.

The DMC3 PC port is on sale, so I figured this would be the place to ask: does the style switcher mod actually fix the port? Is it worth my five bucks?

I think the mod fixes widescreen, controller and performance issues. But I've heard some people still have issues with framerate, that's on a sound card by sound card basis.
If your framerate is still tanking then deleting sound files fixes that.
If it's on sale, then I say just go for it!

The only downside is that now it's going to be disappointing when DMC5 doesn't have 5 distinct characters on release.

In conclusion,

EDIT: The install size for the SE on steam is more than 3x the original port. Either they improved the textures or they switched to uncompressed cutscenes and audio or something.

Yeah. This and GeDoSaTo should be all you need to play at 1080p, downsampled from 4k, with flawless xinput support (360, betterDS). I have been enjoying it a lot without issues.

So does anyone have any tips for Royal Guarding The Savior's massive death beam in DMC4? I was hoping to include it in the LP but I can't seem to pull it off. I know I have to start guarding high enough in the air that I won't touch the ground and reset my animation, and I can sometimes get 4 guards in a row, but I can't get further than that. Is it simple button mashing or is there a (very fast) rhythm to it?

do we have any word on if any of the new characters were made into bosses for bloody palace or is it still dante only? it was always kind of a shame that you couldn't fight against nero with him and a new vergil fight would be cool as heck

From what I've been hearing, it sounds like the new characters and costumes is the only new content.

I'd really have liked some way for Dante to fight Credo and himself besides going through Bloody Palace.

In the very beginning they are talking about how you can select an alternate costume and then activate a character's super mode.

Later at ~4:50 they mention that Lady and Trish won't have super versions?

Just came across this

quote:

n the Q&A for their latest financial results, Capcom said that thanks to the Resident Evil remaster’s high sales, HD remasters will be one of the company’s “key business activities” moving forward.

“HD remasters of our catalog hit titles will be one of our key business activities,” Capcom said in the Q&A. “Overseas, it is becoming difficult to sell these lower-priced and re-mastered titles at stores because of the declining number of stores and sales area limitations. Therefore, we started aggressive digital download sales activities.

“These activities created new demand for these titles. For example, overseas download sales of Resident Evil (HD Remastered) in the past fiscal year were far higher than we expected. It is not a risk but rather the growth of the download sales channel gives users more options. We regard this as growth in opportunities to have allow access for more people to enjoy our games.”

Uh, those are good or bad news?
