Basically DmC is DMC3 and DMC4 with much easier command inputs, nothing is particularly hard to execute per say, but you can definitely do some very elaborate and creative combos if you use your imagination, which is what seems to confuse lots of players from the previous DMC games. The skill in DmC is using your imagination to create complex combos and less about mastering controls like a fighting game.
As for lock on, I can't stress this enough, the game does snap to target if you center your camera, and if you want to isolate a target you have a number of attacks that will do just that, spread out the mob, and then center your camera on the enemy you want to focus on and go to town.
Left stick Button - toggles ranged targets while shooting any of the weapons, this can be changed.
Right Stick Button - Centers the camera, snaps to the target Dante is currently targeting with his soft lock.
The hierarchy of targeting in DmC breaks down like this
1. Direction player is pushing left stick,
2. Enemies that are about to attack
3. Enemy proximity to attack being inputed by player.
4. Camera Positioning
If you are not pushing the stick in any particular direction than the game will refocus your attacks in crowded combat scenarios towards enemies that are about to attack you.
I posted this in my main thread, but I think this should give you a good taste of the advanced stuff you can do if you feel like it.

Normal. I had a hard time keeping the style meter up and the time down. I did this with no updates (actually, after the second tine I had stinger) or other weapons on swordmaster.

All I can say is that the newest one was the first one I have ever played and I absolutely loved that game and i loved Vergil's downfall too, enough to where I am purchasing the HD collection tonight and I will be purchasing 4 as soon as I finish the first 3, It takes a lot for me to get REALLY into a video game series , so for me to like it enough that im going to turn around and purchase every other game in the series is saying something IMO.

I'll just get right to the ass kicking.
The combat in DmC is streamlined and easy as hell, there's no debate.
If this is your first time playing through the game you should play on the hardest default mode so it's not as insulting.
The massive gripe I had was the boss battles, in previous games they were the most challenging and entertaining parts of the game where the bosses behaved like normal enemies but with a s**tload more moves forcing you to use the skills you learned the best of your ability, while in DmC they are dumbed down in the most dull and cliche manner possible, only requiring a certain criteria be meet so you can hack away at them with no skill required.
