Not only that, the mod has options for on-the-fly style-switching, weapon-switching for all weapons, Doppelganger and Quicksilver styles for Vergil, Air Hike for every weapon, graphical options, etc. DMC3 now has more moves and weapons available at a time than DMC4.

Just follow these simple steps

1. Install mod

Devil May Cry 3 is still one of the best action games ever made, and this mod fixes every major issue with the PC port, and elevates the game to even greater heights.

Happy styling!

Notes:

To make sure the controller works, edit the config .ini file, go to [FIXES], and make sure EnableXInput reads =1

To prevent framerate issues, turn off fullscreen in the menu. Then edit the config .ini file, go to [DISPLAY], and change Fullscreen to =1

If you have sound or other framerate issues: Edit config .ini file, go to [DEBUG], change DisableBGMEngine to =0 and DisableShadowEngine to =1

Masterpiece 9.9/10

Great game! You just need a wee tinkering to make it flawless
1. Donwload the game and let Steam patch it
2. Download this https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/912-devil-may-cry-3-starter-pack/ and follow its instructions which are just copying of a couple of folders to the game's directory, it takes less than a minute
3. Enjoy the game
I played it with my Dualshock4 controller from the start, I didn't have to configure anything, the patch I linked above even has playstation button prompts for the menues. And It runs at 1080p/60 fps.

The game itself is really good, packed with action and with decent difficulty, and a great story. The main issue is the PC port of the game which (without use of mods) is terrible. Thankfuly dedicated fans of the game made mods that fix most of the problems this port has... thanks.

do not buy this game i promise you the $10 extra to get the HD collection is worth it
