Nah you absolutely can target specific enemies. I almost always hit the exact target lock I want. You have to aim towards them with the stick (seems to be character relative but I may be wrong) and then hit the lock on button.

I watched a review and I think I'm going to buy this. The combat system looks similar to God of War 2018, is that a fair assessment?

What's the best way to deal with furies? I try to parry them blindly with royal guard, but they don't seem to have clear tells.

I'm struggling to find a good control scheme where i can 1) keep lock-on held down, 2) keep the shooting button held down, 3)dodge and poo poo and 4) all the other stuff. I might have one i like now, but my muscle memory is all wonky from how i had been playing the game so far. I just got wreaked by a bunch of mooks because i kept hitting the wrong drat buttons.

So, before i commit to this layout and just learn it: anyone have any super slick button configs for controller they feel like sharing?

Also, ending spoiler sidenote. Because if nobody else is gonna be creepybrave enough to say it, I will. Nero's DT is hot as gently caress and Kyrie is a VERY lucky woman.

So I just checked my steam install, and it isn't listing the alt costumes. I appear to have everything else, just not the costumes??

They aren't showing up under the customize cutscene either, only the live action option.

This is what steam says:

Maybe it's just me but I don't like the fact that the "4th" weapon you get as Dante gives you these weird fuckin ghost swords and takes away Shredder as a button move, moving it to a combo, feels like I'd never get it out fast enough now. Kind of hoping I get the option to use the other sword again but if not, whatever, just a minor nitpick since it seems this
kind of remixes the upgrade in Swordmaster in a weird way. .

Jesus the busters in this game are raw as gently caress, they really sold "Nero is pissed as gently caress" with this one. For the hell pride dudes he puts them in a chokehold and empties his gun into the back of their heads

RBX posted:

Yep. 4 of them.

What's everybody's most and least favorite bosses except the obvious?

Most: Cavaliere Angelo
Least: Malphas (The Chicken)

Lock-on switching still sucks

Taunting doesn't seem to add like, anything to the style meter?

Sparda looks way cooler than the Dante sword

Ciaphas posted:

What about the actual controls? Just picked this up myself and I honestly have little idea where to put my fingers at times, with having to hold X to charge shots and B to charge my hand and the like.

Story spoiler chat below.

is Nero just going to ignore that his dad caused a mass genocide? I mean, his actions caused thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands or millions of deaths.

Malphas def has satellite poo poo to hook to and kill her.

So, it's been a loooooong time since I played DMC4, so I am probably forgetting something, but why was Vergil dying/rotting/falling apart at the beginning of DMC5, when he stole Nero's arm?

The Buster where he just loving executes a dude by choking them and shooting them point blank with Blue Rose is unexpectedly brutal, yeah.

Fellblade posted:

I’m finding level 18 final boss vs all of V’s summons on the harder difficulties and I’m getting real frustrated with the healing spots that take the main enemy back to practically full twice per battle.

I couldn’t seem to interrupt the heal and I vaguely recall somebody in the thread mentioning if you do something earlier in the level (destroy a tree?) the heal spots aren’t there?

Can somebody point me in the right direction here because I am sick of killing him 2 1/2 times over then dying.

I feel like the game goes out of its way to show the arms are disposable. Even in the first cutscene showing Nero using one, hr breaks it and replaces it like it's nothing.

guts and bolts posted:

If they continue to iterate on Nero he'll be capable of carrying a Devil May Cry game completely by himself. Nero is already more mechanically deep than virtually every other character action game protagonist in existence, and he's the "easier" of the two main devil hunters to wrap your noggin around. Honestly, while I'm cool with the ending from a narrative standpoint, it makes me wonder how they plan to make up for the loss of playable Dante and his four styles if he stays in Hell with Vergil for a potential DMC6.

Eh, I appreciate your take but I think you're misunderstanding what I meant by ace in the hole. Like, say you have Gerbera and you're like "oh man I can use gerbera to stunt on the boss in sick cool ways"

Or you use it right now, and maybe it breaks somewhere on the way to the boss, and then you're fighting the boss with no arm like "dang this is kinda lame". Yes, you can absolutely beat everything in the game without any arms, and I do end up doing that because I'm hoarding them as previously mentioned.

Having them be last-in-first-out helps somewhat, but its still a little funny if you have a couple devil bringers you kinda want to gently caress around with, but one you know you like. You have to pop the one you know you like to get to try out the others, and if you don't like them, oops. Maaaaybe you'll get a pickup arm in the near future, but maybe it'll be like a pasta or the healer arm or something you don't really care for.

As you said game is easy enough even without the arms, so please don't turn this into something it isn't: I went way way way out of my way to qualify my statement with things like "the game's fine as is" so don't suddenly argue like I'm saying the game is broken. I'm just saying for me personally I really think it would be more fun if I could simply re-order arms. While they're still completely disposable with exactly the same mechanics.

That's not really all that radical, is it? Be fair.

Go try this out in the first level or two:

Stand in a room with bad guys and lock on to one. Notice how it’s the one closest to you? Now release lock on and go run across the room and try again, see how it’s still the one closest to you? That’s how the targeting system works.

So is this better than DMC3? Trying to decide if I *really* need another action game a week before sekiro, but I'm tempted. I suppose I haven't played 4 also, is this better than that?
