  • Trying Devil May Cry on Hard mode...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Got a dearth of gaming for a bit (at least for two days anyway), so I'm trying for a "gamer cred" feat.

The ultimate goal for me is to beat it on the hardest setting, but the first step is to beat it on Hard. They weren't kidding. I'm on Level 5 right now, which starts out with the player fighting two of the shadow cat enemies (which have their stats improved from Normal mode somewhat considerably) at once. On my last try, it was the proverbial "you wouldn't last ten seconds against them." In other words, they literally took my life-bar-and-a-half down to nothing in under ten seconds.

No spoilers, anyone, since I am having fun with this, but did anyone else try this?

I understand there's another mode after this..."Player Will Cry", or "Player Must Fry", or something similar...

Good luck. The dificulty level after Hard is "Dante Must Die" mode. My cousin (nephew actually) is the only one I know who's beaten it. The game was difficult enough on Normal, and I didn't even finish it on Hard, so I never even bothered to try to get DMD.
