Well, he's still surrounded by a bunch of regular Stygians, so trying to focus on the Hell Knight with Arbiter attacks can get you stabbed in the back, while focusing on the Stygians with Rebellion or Osiris leaves the Knight free to do whatever, and your attacks could get parried by him.

Still defeats the point of that single enemy using that as an attack.

 

[AngelMode]

So you don't get burned while using demon mode but you get frozen even if you are using angel mode?

Sorta. It can still make it a pain to fight on the ground around him, that's for sure.

That is pretty silly.

I noticed that in gameplays, a long time ago.

There is a difference between the flame and the ice attack, though. You can't parry the "flaming floor" move, but you can parry the ice attack, sending it back to the frost knight.

So, just equip a demon weapon during the flaming attack, to avoid damage. As for the ice attack, you have the option to parry it, sending it back to whoever attacked you before...

The nightclub mission is going to make a better use of this feature. If the floor is red, you'll have to equip a demon weapon. If it's blue, you'll have to equip any angel weapon. During a gameplay, Greg talked about that...

I can imagine that stage on Heaven or Hell mode. Environments can also prove to be a pain in the ass.

 

[AngelMode]

Here's me hoping those floors don't one hit kill you in Hell or hell mode... that'll be a pain is the buttocks.

My biggest complaint thus far is just the implementation of background flying enemies. They seem to add nothing but frustration to the combat. The Cherrups usually require their shields (which respawn by the way) to be pulled from them before they can be attacked, and can cause quite a bit of confusion for the auto-lock on system.

Also the Harpies make loud shrieks constantly, whether attacking or not. I can't tell the 'I'm going to attack' shriek from 'I'm just hanging here' shriek. Annoying.

Otherwise, still pelting the demo. I've racked up about 13k Red orbs, and 63 upgrade points. Pretty much can guarantee an SSS every run on SoS Under Watch.

Personally, I think the flying enemies are much need to balance out the aereal combat. Without them, every single enemy you pulled from the ground never goes back down alive.

Would be nice if we could bring over those red orbs and upgrades once the original game comes out. LOL, or would that be a bit much? ^_^

That would be so broken, haha.

Damn.... At least we will have all the upgrades by then, but.... ugh. I won't be mentally prepared since that's like mission 13/7? God. I don't want to know about later missions in HoH if that's the case.

 

[LeoXCV]

I swear I've been hit by the spread flame when attacking with Arbiter, now I wanna check. I usually JC to stay out of it then when it's over come back down. Or just chuck Arbiter at the source

we learned a few thing from the demo cutscene 1. Sparda was captured, and 2. Dino won't be able to take his impalements like a man

:troll:

I just noticed that when you use demon pull, Dante's feet will shine red.
When you use kicker when his feet are red his kick will turn into a roundhouse kick

C'mawn, he takes a Ravager's chainsaw to the chest like a champ

I love the demo! The newDante feels like Nero from DMC4.
Oh and Hi, I'm new. *Shoots everywhere*

Okay, so I was just playing the demo (again) and fighting the Harpies and Stygians after you pull out the second camera. I was focusing on a Stygian when I heard a Harpy crying out for its swooping attack. I dodged out of the way just before it struck, and the harpy killed the Stygian I was fighting. I laughed when I saw the Harpy kill it, and I laughed harder when I noticed this in my Style feed...

WRONG TEAM 50

Something like that happened to me. Except this time it was one Harpy killing another one. Funny thing is, the one that got killed wasn't the one I was focusing on, so that harpy saved me some effort and then finished her off quickly.
