I did heaven and hell. It's actually really simple. You can use restart checkpoint, and it gives you all 3 gold orbs back. I think it counts as a death though in your stats. I don't care about the leaderboard stats, so I wasn't bothered at all :D

The only bad thing for Heaven and Hell, in my eyes, is those stupid enemies that are inside the orbs (the women). Especially when there are other enemies with shields. I used the ebony and ivory too get kills straight away, for when they spawn. But of course then you're left with shielded enemies etc. Which are then easy enough to defeat.

Not sure what those other ninja type things are (lol), that vanish and then pop back out at you, who deflect/reflect your attacks. I used devil trigger on those and then shot them, simple as.

Thankfully the bosses also die in 1 hit.


My best wave count on Blood Palace is now 83 :D
Two fire wolves, and 2 fire shielded enemies. I beat the crap out of both wolf things, but they just would not die :(


Edit:
I've started Hell and Hell. The damn stupid flying things with shields keep getting me, whilst I try get those the other enemies get me haha.
Mission 1 down, 19 to go w00t.
I've come to realize that with the bosses, it's best to use devil trigger when you get them at a point where you can smack the hell out of them. Like the first one, he eventually falls over for a few seconds, and doesn't attack back.

I've upgraded both my health + trigger to max (got the achievement woot). So now I will play lots of blood palace to get enough to purchase lots of triggers. 26k is what I need (2k per full trigger, 1k for a small bit. I currently have 2 full ones, and 0 small. Max of 10).


I have to admit, I never usually play games on their hardest setting. But this one isn't too anger raging. Yet it's still very challenging.

Yeah I kinda noticed how it is harder haha.
I keep using items (trigger + health).

It's those stupid dog things that annoy me, especially when there is one of both (angel and demon). A lot of the times even when I use the move that keeps them busy (Aquila - LT+B), they still do that thing where they spin towards you.

I think I am on about mission 8 or 9, maybe 10. Will do more today. In total I've played this game for over 20hrs already haha.
I think a lot of that was me searching for the souls, keys and doors (which i have completed before starting son of sparda), and I also downloaded and played Blood Palace a few times (at level 20 you get that stupid succubus, and I just couldn't get past it. I did eventually on about my 6th run through haha and died on the next boss, wave 40 - and he hardly had life left :()



Edit:
I watched some video of a guy playing Hell and Hell, or whatever difficulty it is.
And wow, he was amazing. He literally knows all the moves and can keep enemies in the air as long as HE wants. I always seem to struggle to keep them in the air. He would make them go really high by shooting them with the revenant, then attack more, then shoot again etc. If I shoot them it seemed to do bugger all, and definitely not knock them higher into the air :(

Edit 2:
Got to Blood Palace wave 60, and died quite quickly on the boss haha. I am very happy though at least :D

God of War is another that comes on lists that I saw, but no way can I afford a PS3. :P
Onimusha is something I have about 3 of for the PS2, but they don't do it for Xbox 360, do they? I couldn't find anything anyway. It would be absolutely amazing if there was/is Onimusha for the 360.

I think it was Onimusha that got me into hack and slash before even getting a Xbox.
Rygar and Genji, both sound like Ninja names, so I will give them a check. Are they for the 360?

I tried the demo for Metal Gear Rising, and I thought I would love it but, I really didn't. Not sure why :-/

(xbox 360 btw)

I'm a fan of both FPS and Hack & Slash games. I especially love H&S, because they are really fast paced and it's full of action.

I've looked on google for games similar to Devil May Cry, but every page I load and check out, suggests/says the same games. Which are usually the following:

Ninja Gaiden 2
Dante's Inferno
Ninja Blade
Bayonetta
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Devil May cry (it suggests other, older versions, 3 + 4 typically)

There were other ones, such as Dynasty Warriors.

All of the above, I have or have owned and now got rid of.
Surely there must be more out there that are good?


Oh a couple of places do suggest umm.. Oh damn what's it called Dark something? Darksiders? Which I did try the demo for, and didn't like.
I have tried the demo too, for Castlevania, and it seemed alright, yet I dunno, kind of rubbish at the same time :-/

Now I have played DMC5, would getting and playing DMC 4 be something I possible wouldn't enjoy, because I am used to the setup and combinations etc for DMC5?


If it also helps, although not H&S, but a melee game never the less, I do love Prototype 1 +2.


TL;DR:
What games are similar to Devil May Cry 5? :P


Edit:
Just to note, I'm having a break from FPS, because they were essentially what I started playing as soon as I got my Xbox, and that was all I played (I liked to get my moneys worth :P).
The first year I think I played MW2, then I played Halo Reach for a year after that, then MW3 a year after that. So 3 years of pure FPS I want and need a proper break with action packed, pointless hack and slash :D

I've had troubles too, where when you use the Angel Lift thingy, and you know the bits where you hit A on, to boost you? It send me in the wrong direction. :-/

Son of Sparda - what difficulty setting is that on?

Cos I had never done DMC (except demo's), I did the easiest level (got all souls, keys and doors woot) and now I am playing through on Son of Sparda.. it's actually a lot harder.

I'm sure as well, I had never thought what of those angel demons (lol whutt?) - the ones that are blue, and they have a shield. The angel weapons are so weak and take ages to break the shield in comparison to the demon weapons. Or is there some kind of secret, or best weapon/move to use for these ? :-/

The weapon to weapon switching was kinda there in 4, but not really. It was entirely based on the d-pad; you didn't use the LT or RT combos.

And when they're clumped together, you just use the second angel weapon... it slaughters cluttered enemy sets. :P


What weapons do you usually use as your primary ones?
I don't like the Arbiter, even though it can reach further, so I end up getting hit a lot using the other haha (it's just so slooow as well, the Arbiter).
I also use the revenant + aquilla. Though, I do love the Osiris. I actually like all the weapons. I rarely use the Kablooey (?). Too much effort having to shoot and then explode it, plus even for the smaller enemies it takes about 5+ explosions to kill them.

I have this game. I got it because it was £36 for a long time, but then dropped to £25 brand new, so figured "if not now, then when?". I honestly think it's a great game.
Though, I love melee games like this, so that definitely factors into the equation.

Enemies clumping together isn't a problem either, and rarely break your combo because you have many ways to prevent it happening, so that is no issue. One big thing to do is use the Aquila weapon, it keeps enemies occupied, whilst you then concentrate on others.

I love the whole combinations you can do, switching from weapon to weapon flawlessly.
No clue if this was possible like this in the other DMC games, because I only ever tried DMC 4 demo.

I absolutely love the chainsaw guys though, even though they can be extremely frustrating, they are still funny in my eyes.


Edit:
I've actually died on this lots of times, but not from actual loss of health.
I seem to struggle with having to use angel arm, then when you have to (in mid-air) use the demon one to pull something out. :(

OR another one, I will jump and the camera angle changes, and I end up going the wrong way, and then I am too far away to recover haha.

Both ways suck ass.

                                                   <td style="background-color: #181818; float:right; padding: 5px;">
                                                       <div id="squareAdm"></div>  <div id="squareGMod"></div>  <div id="squareMod"></div>  <div id="squareMem"></div>

#squareGMod { width: 10px; height: 10px; background: #e68819; display: inline-block; }

So I am using CSS for a member legend in my info center. Just some basic stuff to show 10x10px colours.
stinky666themes2.freemessageboards.com/ (on the right side of users online)

You know the type of CSS Arow box you get when you rollover stuff on some sites.. this style, but the following isn't rollover: cssarrowplease.com/

I want one of those. I just don't know how to incorporate it, at all, and especially with how to add the text :-/

I would have to have 4 in total (I assume?), I know that much (1 for each individual group).

Really appreciate anyone that can help me.

Is it possible, instead of adding ALL into the mini profile, you choose which to display?
I mean as an admin. I want, for example: Skype, MSN, AIM + Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

I don't want the other 4. I might only use 2 of each of the above and not 3 (msn + aim, and facebook + twitter).

I recommend putting the water mark as semi-opaque scattered throughout the document, because an amateur ripper could just crop off the bottom.


Not for me to decide. I only bought posting rights for it, I don't own it.

You honestly can't see?
As a coder, you know that 5px does not equal to that. Look at how huge that gap is, it's a lot more than 5px :P


Read it as 15. Anyways, probably a br in there instead. Shouldn't be a min-height attribute forcing it to at least 10 or so. *shrugs* I can't debug what I can't see (i.e. URL or no help :P)



stinky666themes.freemessageboards.com
I assume putting the gap size to a minus could work?
