Vergil Playable in DmC DLC

[Daystar Clarion]

Capcom's press release stresses that the DLC isn't included on the retail disk, but I doubt that'll do much to placate fans who think the series is heading in the wrong direction. Vergil was also playable in Devil May Cry 3 - which is widely regarded as the high point of the series - for the ever popular price of free.

Technically, it was the Special Edition of Devil May Cry 3. Kinda sucks if you got the first version already, but on the flip side, if you had a save file from the original version (not a game clear file, just a save file), you got Vergil and the Bloody Palace unlocked right off the bat. As for the actual use in-game, he basically just replaced Dante, with the cutscenes removed. Adding a separate storyline seems like a move in the right direction. Except for that $9 price tag. Great going Capcom. I'm sure you'll just sell SO many of those DLCs.

-_-

Vergil uses an advanced sword form called Iaido, i.e., nearly every slash is returned to the scabbard before he slashes again.

From what I saw in that video, he ain't doin' much of that...

Did we play the same Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition? I saw Vergil do scabbard smacking, followed by one slash with Yamato and then sheathing the blade, ending the combo. I guess he DOES sheathe it after a slash, but one slash isn't much to base EVERY slash on. And lets not forget his more punchy-kicky style when using Beowulf, or his longer slashing combo when using ForceEdge with Yamato. So long as the gameplay's good, I don't mind if he doesn't strictly follow one single school of combat.

Well, I suppose if he's only use Yamato then there's gotta be a way to prolong combos.

But yes, what I mean was that Vergil's move set with default Yamato was very deliberate and you had to think a lot quicker on your feet in regards to combos since his attacks didn't last ten minutes like Dante's

Remember when you could play as Dante and Vergil on the same disc without really paying extra (assuming you bought the Special Edition only)?

Yeah, you did have to be pretty careful. Helps that Yamato's combo finisher tends to knock most enemies backward and to the ground, though. Good for busting out of a crowd.

Pretty much my thoughts. MONTHS before the game is released they announced DLC character that has been playable before in previous DMC games that could have also been included in the release but purposely withheld?

I'm sorry capcom but no sell. I didn't really care about the whole hair fiasco, the FPS problem did disturb me, and now this seals the deal for saying F no to this new DMC. Companies are getting too bold with showcasing their stupidity.

 

[go-10]

rather than shitty DLC I would've prefered co-op with Dante and Vergil
I'll be honest the new looks have sort of grown on me and since I read so many comics I'm fine with having an alternate universe in videogames, but if Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge can do co-op why can't DMC do co-op

Tameem Antionades just tweeted that this DLC will be free.

If that isn't damage control, I don't know what is.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Do they realize that they just spoiled the (extremely obvious) ending to the game?

What, you... you mean that Vergil ends up falling from grace?

Fuck yeah you had to be careful, I'm pretty sure most of Vergil's single weapon combo hits were programmed with a "smack down" property, and some if not most had "stun" capibilities which would "stun" the enemy for a few frames, which made him so powerful for so little moves.

But I don't care about that, I just want to use DARK SLAYER, its the melding of Trickster and Royal Guard on amphetamines, to prove this here is example;

1)using Trickster in trouble you'd dodge out the way, and then your too far away to launches a counter attack, you coward

2)using Royal Guard you'd block the hit and panic that you didn't get a perfect match, then you'd blag to your friends that your fucking awesome with Royal Guard and that you fucking wiped the floor with Vergil using RG in one hit because you knew the perfect frame to block and how with Royal Guard your totally hot shit

3)using Dark Slayer you'd teleport straight into their face, juggle them, teleport up to them, combo the crap out of them, teleport up to that gold orb you saw, teleport down and taunt them in a passive aggressive manner, teleport in the same place cos your about to get hit and then unleash phantom swords, then juggle the crap out of every enemy in the room LIKE A FUCKING BOSS

I just liked being all in their face all of the time, which vergil's dark slaye style gave me.

And what's wrong with that?

"There was a negative reaction, so lets do something about it."

Nothing at all, I actually admire the decision.

But in the end, it comes down to publishers, so I hope Capcom follow through with this one.

give me Dark Slayer, GIVE ME DARK SLAYER STYLE NINJA THEORY.

People bemoan the new take on Devil May Cry, frankly it got stale, and I'll show my hypocritical nature and state that I fucking WANT DARK SLAYER from DMC3.

Kind of shitty that it's not going to be on the pc, what with that version looking like the best option.

The best version of the game is which ever media device you are running it on, not just this game, but any game.

I have Bayonetta on PS3, apparently its shit because its on the PS3 if you listen to the internet, it isn't, its sublime. Same with DmC and most (I say most for a reason) games, playing on Xbox or PC or Wii vitality sensor doesn't make it better all of a sudden

60 frames gives it the edge. Doesn't make the other versions shit. If the PC version has everything the Xbox/PS3 version has, plus better textures and a smoother frame rate, well, a 9+1 is still more than a 9.

I drove a car once that wasn't a Ferrari, I still enjoyed the ride.

 

[Infernai]

This is the first thing in this fucking game that actually looked remotely similar to something that might just be slightly emulating Devil May Cry.

That's the highest compliment i've given to this game so far...but i still don't have even the remotest of hopes for this thing whatever it is.
If not for how Ninja Theory have handled this fucking appauling matter then for what they did in butchering the original feel, lore, backstory of the main characters, characterisation of original characters like Dante, Vergil and even Mundas.

In the original Vergil was a morally ambiguous badass who we knew very little about, and that mystery made him very intriguing. In this game Ninja theory not only made the mistake of throwing all their details about his history onto the table, but by making him so....boring...Sure, some of the fighting style is their but his personality seems so freaking bland now.

Above all though i feel sorry for Daystar of all people. The poor guy worshipped Vergil, and i honestly couldn't blame him for it, whilst i tended to view Dante as awesome (Though vergil was a very close second.

Rest in peace, old friend...

Indeed Vergil, rest in peace you ambiguous badass....rest in peace.

 

[gigastar]

So Vergil has combos now?

Keep talking...

Vergil was also playable in Devil May Cry 3 - which is widely regarded as the high point of the series - for the ever popular price of free.

To be exact Vergil was only playable in the updated rerelease, unless you count the hidden 2-player mode that let P2 play as Vergil for all of 5 glorious minuites against the worst boss in the game with a grand total of 8 unique attacks and total invulnerability.

Never said you wouldn't. I love my jeep, but I acknowledge the ferrari as the better ride. And it seems weird that they'd make the Ferrari without cup holders and a stereo, so to speak. That's all I'm saying.

I don't won't Vergil to hold my cup, or touch my fucking stereo. just play DARK SLAYER

that's all I'm saying.

 

[bafrali]

I fucking knew it!!!

Also what is with the spoilers? If I was invested, I would be pissed.
