I'm running at max settings @ 3200 x 1800 with vsync on and haven't encounted screentearing of any kind(although there is some degree of compression). Could it be something on your end?
Haven't played enough to judge the combat, on its own or in comparison to the other games but this game looks stunning. Just absolutely wowed by the art style, can't imagine playing at 30 FPS either.

I'm only running it at 1080p, looks like its mentioned in reviews so I doubt it's me.
There is a large amount of screen tearing during cut scenes
A few technical hitches in the PC version of the game. Most notably, screen tearing in some cutscenes.

Exactly the same, please let me know if you find a way to fix it, otherwise tomorrow I'll try with a bluetooth USB dongle
I noticed it too. And then I turned on Vsync so it's gone.
Do you know if Vsync locks you into 60fps, or can you adjust to 120?

My Vsync is on, maybe it's related to refresh rate not sticking after u change it? Try to put it at 60 and its goes back to 23.
DualShock/MotionJoy possibly worked for me because I inserted the controller and enabled it after loading the game up and getting to the start screen (simply because I forgot to do it beforehand.)
The only other thing I did, before I got in game, was use "Verifying Game Cache Files" on Steam (as a precaution to the messy pre-loading business.)

I tried this earlier but still the same. Game simply freezes.
FMV cutscenes have screen tearing and I have Vsync on already.
I've been using MotioninJoy and have had no problems. I launch the program before I start the game.
Hopefully the issue is fixed soon.
I think I might have ran into a demon dodge glitch in chapter 19. I would correctly dodge the boss's attacks and activate the demon dodge bonus but I would still get hit while the slowdown animation was in effect. I though that the boss was just harder to dodge so I tried it over and over. I exit to the main menu and reload the checkpoint and the dodge was working how it was before, suddenly the boss is easy mode.
Also, for extra lols

For those who use MotionInJoy+DS3, did you guys buy the game outside Steam? I installed straight from disk.

Used a GMG code and on my end motioninjoy is working. For further clarification I'm using the USB powered version as I don't want it to overwrite my usb dongle.

GMG, not working.
Didn't try changing any option in Motioninjoy, it was the first time I used a controller on PC.
What is going on with this game
I demon dodge one of the final boss's attacks and do enough damage to empty out his lifebar. It then immediately fills all the way up and my attacks stop doing damage. A reload fixed it.
But on the plus side you can skip those annoying in game cut scenes with select during that boss fight

Game is fun, but man, I kind of hate how easy it is to stay in the air. Trivializes encounters tremendously

Yep. Hold LT = easy infinite air time.
Only played the first 3 missions but I'm really enjoying this. There are times when I wish the camera would move a bit further back so I had a better view in combat but it's not been too big a problem so far.
In the platforming tutorial kinda levels, I keep wishing that Enslaved had gotten a PC release, though. So pretty.

It's working for everyone now. My DL is almost done.

fantastic, game still won't download for me
It's been unpacking for hours. If I have to redownload the 7+ gigs all over again I might as well just install Dishonored instead.
EDIT: Yeah, this isn't worth it.

Just finished Mission 2. Thankfully no problems with my controller, sadly though my aging PC can't keep up and I do get some stuttering, but I'm perceiving the actual feel of 60fps at least. 
It always stays above 30fps at least, but the stuttering annoys. It sucks not having the moves I had in the demo, but them's the breaks. Got my demon dodge and triple smash at least, time to get some SSS rankings. :lol Even at 720p it looks a lot cleaner than on my PS3, pretty strange.
The story so far is working a lot better than it did broken apart in trailers and previews. Too bad some douches had to douche it up and discuss end bosses and endings and all kinds of spoilers a week before the game was actually out on consoles. Oh well.

Man, this game absolutely SCREAMS on the PC! Looks great, runs great, and plays great. I'm using a 360 controller right now and I doubt I will ever attempt to play it with the keyboard, so I cannot comment on that aspect.
I also have the screen tearing issue. The gameplay has zero screen tearing but the cutscenes do. Not that big of a deal but I would love to have it fixed.

I hate it when you get those small enemies and Dante decides to aim for those. It makes combos drop so bad and ruins the combat.

I get no sound during the game, only in cutscenes. Other than that, good game.
It ends up being more annoying when he doesn't aim for them, since IMO they should be prioritized. Once you get to SoS and DMD the hardest aspect to me is trying to take them out and fighting the lock on to make it work.

I think there was a comparison video on gamespot that said to put the refresh rate at 24hz or something to prevent the screen tearing during cutscenes. Anyone know what they could be talking about.

Played for about 2 hours.
Complaints about the bosses are a bit unjustified. They are not amazing, but they are not "bad" either. They fit nicely into the game.
PC version infinitely better than PS3 - almost feels like I'm playing a different game. Limbo on PS3 looked like an orange and yellow mess, but on PC it is sharp and it looks great. For people complaining about only fighting in Limbo...I think that was the point.
Combat is very fresh given the different whips and weapons you get - it's much slowed down compared to previous DMCs, however. Staying in the air using JC and other techniques is quite easy - perhaps they'll patch in finer timing for higher difficulties.
Overall the game is gorgeous, the characters and voice acting is superb, the story is decent (so far). The action is quite good and stringing together interesting combos is non-trivial. This is a nice example how to make something accessible yet still leave room for advanced play (I am by no means a DMC expert).
As for personal taste, the combat is comparable in flash to DMC3 and 4. DMC3 is still my favorite DMC game (that might change once I finish this one), but DmC is already a much better game than DMC4 (I know many will disagree) due to overall quality.
If you've only played this on console, I strongly recommend getting in on a capable PC and experiencing this game in all it's glory.
A note on screen tearing - yes it's there during the cutscences only, but it's no big deal. You can try forcing Vsync in the Nvidia/AMD control panel.

Apparently who's having problems with DS3+Motioninjoy has to choose the option to emulate it as a X360 controller.

I'm on Mission 16, I'm somewhat enjoying this game just like I enjoyed the last NT game I played (enslaved). It really doesn't feel like a DMC game though, but some of the combat is pretty close. I like the character interaction in this game, just like enslaved, but the story is pretty bleh in this one.
C2D@1.86+4670. Hell, it's below the minimum requirements. :lol But I know not to pay much attention to that anymore.
It has served me well for several years(cpu is 6 years old, gpu is 4), all things considered. But soon enough I'll be replacing it.

Man you guys are tempting me to buy the game again for PC like I did for 3 and 4, my poor wallet DX
had a 120hz gif but it kept slowing down in browsers, so 60hz for now
if anyone knows how to fix that lemme know
Holy shit. That looks fantastic. Can't wait to get home.
Eh, the boss complaints are warrented. I'm assuming at that point you have maybe seen 2, and the first one is one of the better ones in the game actually. They barely change on higher difficulty which is completely unlike past DMC games.
