Deluxe edition is just a bunch of junk, right?
Depends on what you consider junk. Some unique devil breakers, some rebalanced redux versions of existing weapons, alternate music, title screen calls and style rank announcers.

Oh and some goofy pre-vis cutscenes of Capcom staff enacting all of the stylish action in their offices that you can sub in during the campaign:

I'd like to have those but the pricing seems a bit much. May buy individual dlc instead later when it's on sale.

At least you'll get to play it, the game is releasing on Friday, which compared to everyone else, is when my work week actually starts lol

I saw a gif on Twitter of Lady naked and it made my day. Literally made my day.

I haven't been this excited for a game since, well, RE2. Capcom is back!

Hype! Going to try to knock out as much of DMD DMC3 today as I can. Sadly I wasn't able to reach my goal of Plat for DMC3 and all S ranks up to DMD for DMC4 - but I will return once I finish DMC5. GIMME DAT FAUST!

I won't lie, I don't like this difficulty. I don't mind dying in a few hits, but enemies feel more like damage sponges than anything. Even using infinite devil trigger doesn't make it any faster.
Yeah, I feel you there. It's the difficulty design school of "be consistently perfect or die of attrition" that gets kind of ridiculous the further in you progress. The chessboard and everything beyond it is fucking ridiculous.

I did like the way it forced you to figure out boss encounters though, to a degree. I'd never have found out that you can stun nevan with DT'd cerberus revolver spam during her vulnerable phase if the game hadn't forced me to experiment.

The Chess fight is what I dread most. Honestly almost every boss up to the final fight of vergil is doable/easy if you know the strat. It is the general enemies that give me the most grief.

The general enemies definitely encourage cheaper and less stylish play on DMD. I found myself more worrying about damage damage damage than looking cool.

The chessboard ended up being royalguard + jump canceled beowulf divekicks for me, farming up perfect releases on the queen to try and smash the king ASAP and end it.

And I can generally cheese arkham and keep the eel things at bay, but DMD makes them even worse. The battle of brothers section stealing your DT gauge and circle button with no checkpoint... Pain. :messenger_neutral:

And Vergil 3 is straight up insane this time around. When he starts doing the "judgement cut everywhere" thing his DT health regen easily outstrips the amount of damage you're reasonably able to deal in between sessions of helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker helm breaker

The third and (presumably) final character combat clip from the official DMC channel is out:

Have you tried manually restarting the client? I can see a few of us englanders online at the mo in my friends list.

If that doesn't do it then it's probably some CDN nonsense :messenger_confused:

Stay strong. I stumbled onto tumblr looking for funny gifs to post and might have run across some spoilsies. Or odd pranks, can't tell.

Also, Steam decryption :messenger_neutral: "weeks" says the progress bar. "I don't believe you" says me!

If someone is weird like me, and don't want the 100000 red orbs which comes with the pre-order you can opt to not install on Steam.
 
Not all night just till the files are unlocked AND the game is unlocked in your region. You can play now AND Unlock using London VPN.

You turn off VPN and use your region IP it will lock you out even if files are unlocked.
