Devil May Cry 5 + Photo Mode
I wasn’t going to buy this game but I was one, bored, two, still curious about its Photo Mode, and three, the more mage-like character has a black panther pet. So now that I own DMC5, I am one, still kind of bored, two, not all that impressed with Photo Mode, and three, I have yet to reach the chr. that has the panther. That’s because despite Photo Mode being clunky and extremely limited in viewpoint scope, you can still get some ok shots with it sometimes – if you’re patient and like wasting time doing things like jumping in the same spot for 20 minutes trying to get a cool shot with a specific background.
Early impression is that if you like bashing enemies and get a rush from successfully executing fancy moves, this game could be for you. There’s not much story (so far) but it’s flashy and has a very fast pace. However, if like me you’re more interested in taking pictures than killing monsters or racking up stye points, you can have the game Assist you by randomly executing some of those moves for you with single button presses, as you coast as much as possible on easy mode. 😛
This round of pics focuses on one character because that’s who you start out with. It’s not because I love the dude. If I can hurry up and get to the Kylo Ren look-alike with the panther, I may post another round. Of the panther. Hah. Photo Mode doesn’t come even remotely close to Ansel. But it’s still a nice feature for players of the game. Note: by default, it force-slaps a game logo on the screen, whereby I quickly found a way to prevent it. Nyah. DMC5 is less of a resource hog than FFXV and runs in 4k/Ultra at 80-120fps, which is pretty sweet.
Nice pictures! How did you take the logo off?
I downloaded the below zip file and copied the contents to the game directory. It doesn’t overwrite any game files, it’s just additive. When you’re in game, first time you use photo mode hit caps lock to remove logo. Should stick thru the play session. That said, for me at least, it will not apply if you run the game by clicking the icon from the Steam client game list. I made a desktop shortcut directly to the DevilMayCry5.exe file from the install folder and it works if you launch game from that. I don’t know about Big Picture/Steam overlay, I don’t use those.

Oh interesting, I’ll give it a try. Thank you!
Congrats, Kranky. So that panther is what sold you on this game? Not going to lie, those summons are sweet as hell. And they can be upgraded, too! More movesets, different styles, if you know what you’re doing, you can cause complete mayhem on the battlefield while you’re just sitting in the middle of it all and watching the fun. But yes, the characters themselves are too “over the top” for my taste, reminds me of anime characters, where everyone is an extreme version of a stereotype. Some people love that, but not me.
IIRC, you have to complete the story mode in order to play as any character on any stage. You can take Nero on V’s path for example, or vice-versa. At least, that’s how it used to be in the DMCs I played previously, 2 & 3. But yeah, you need to finish the game first.
The story mode doesn’t seem to work that way in 5, you have to play the different ones at different points because narration reasons. There may be a single-mission or MP where you can pick one but not sure. If I get too bored since this isn’t my typical style of game, I can use Cheat Engine tables to circumvent some things, per usual. Those people are fast at putting things up, lol.
I think a lot of people called FFXV’s anime and extreme tropes too, including me at times. I don’t mind stereotype/tropes if they’re ones I like. At this point I see everything in ent. media as a trope or a trope within a trope within a trope, anyway … 😀
You’re right, my bad. I looked into it and yes, you still can’t use all three characters at any chapter after beating the game. Oops (☉౪ ⊙)
