r/DevilMayCry

This is ONLY about DMD mode as that changes everything.

I have beaten 1 on DMD itemless and it was just to finish it itemless as I played the game to death,so it felt like kind of an obligation, and running through 3 right now. And It does feel unfair to me.

I always felt atleast in 1s case, with how much damage the bosses do on DMD, that camera issues should not be a thing as you die in 3 hits. Also stuff like Mundus is just universally considered bs, but I am wondering what people's thoughts are overall

Are there any highly skilled players these days who still play the vanilla version of Devil May Cry 3, or who play it on PS4 or PS5? I'd love to watch someone pull off insane combos using the vanilla gameplay. Does anyone know of any players or channels where I can watch that kind of gameplay? Thank!

Especially air combos. Is it the number of hits? Is it just this weapon's special trait?

Been thinking about this as I've been replaying DMC5. It seems like the game's lore has reached a point where a game with Dante, Nero, and Vergil would make a natural trinity of playable protagonists in the next game. Wouldn't mind seeing Lady and Trish as well, but I'm less experienced with them, so I have fewer opinions how how they'd be tweaked (and what would Trish have instead of Sparda)? But one thing I would LOVE to see is for all characters to make use of every button. Currently, this would mean giving all of them something to do with every direction on the d-pad. So here are my own thoughts on what I think would be cool.

Dante: No major changes except different devil arms and guns. We'd obviously see DSD, a fist weapons (can we just keep Balrog next time) Ebony and Ivory, and Coyote. I wouldn't mind seeing Cerberus and DKA become mainstays at this point. Then maybe 1 or 2 new devil arms and 1 or 2 new guns. Only other tweak I might make is reversing the direction of Iregular Full Custom, so that on the initial playthrough Dante can equip any two DAs and any two guns, unlocking the ability to equip as many as you like of each after clearing the game.

Nero: Maybe make devil bringers work like styles? You chose 4 to equip, mapped to the d-pad and can swap freely, but they otherwise work the same, breaking when you get hit while using them. And then perhaps you spend DT gauge to repair your active bringers like Dante and Vergil to do fill their SDT meter?

Vergil. Dude probably needs a little reigning in if he becomes a default character - I don't think he ahs any moves that are straight up more powerful than what Dante or Nero have, but his access to fast, high damage moves is a bit too easy, so maybe scale back the power on a couple of his staples. Apart from that, I think it would be very appropriate to lean into him embracing his demonic side more than Dante does by giving Vergil "trigger styles." He still has SDT and it's still a bit different from Dante's, but make the d-pad change the function of your normal DT gauge. We already have doppelganger, so maybe bring quicksilver back as another one (if Dante can learn to do it, Virgil should be capable as well). He could could have one that brings out his old Nelo Angelo form for something weaker but more accessible than SDT, and then maybe a new one that either allows him to do more with summoned swords or rapidly spend DT to enter a "stance" where he automatically dodges and counters everything? I think he could also stand to have two new Devil Arms introduced, maybe just two additional weapons he learns to create out of blue energy? A spear and a pair of daggers feel appropriate, I think. Then, like Dante above, he equips three of them, unlocking the option to carry four or five at once after clearing the game.

What kind of tweaks would you want to see to the system we have now? What would you want to see out of Lady and Trish if they make a comeback?

Edit: Some non gameplay changes I'd love to see. First, give us back alternate costumes that are more than just revolors. And second, give each character a more clearly defined (and suitable) leitmotiff. I know some people like it, but Subhuman just didn't feel like a good for Dante. I think something in the style of NWBHM would fit him well. Look to hardcore for Nero, and symphonic metal for Vergil. Maybe goth rock for Trish and either classic punk rock or neo outlaw country for Lady if they make the cut?

I've replaced it on dmc5 ever since I got back to the main campaign recently. (Was busy trying to s rank dante's bossfight but I'm not there yet.) I replaced subhuman with devils never cry because I just vastly prefer the song and I think it makes me feel more cool. Wanted thoughts on if other people do this lol.
