Oh, Matt, I would like to say: I'm one of the fan who got into the serie thanks to DMC2. It's easy to see why the game was regarded as better than the first one: at the time Dante mouvement, matrix dodges, gun play and design where the best ever for a young player fresh out of PS1. "When I played DMC2 I felt like a legend. Then You had Lucia, a seperate game! WOW! AND a Trish with the combat of DMC1? DMC2 is legendary!" Then time pass...and you realize you can't replay 2 without getting bored out of your mind. Especially after 2006. It's a game that age badly. I still had fun but I'll never play it again.

With The REboot and two other projects in the works, perhaps the production of the RE movies?

I can remember starting dmc2 being blown away with the open environments and dante's new animations

@Dante2014 They actually have a whole segment in a prequel novel for DMC5 - Before the Nightmare - specifically dedicated to Dante visiting Lucia and explaining how he got Barlog Devil Arm with which we start in DMC5. They even closed some of plotholes with DMC2: - Now it kinda explains why Dante was so uncharacteristically moody - he was slowly sliding into depression after DMC1 events and throughout DMC The Animated Series - because "My family is dead. I got my revenge but it feels empty. And there is no challenge anymore. - So now life feels a bit hollow and I personally feel like a subhuman with no place to fit in" - then DMC4 happens and Dante gets his groove back because "EVERYONE I'VE GOT A NEPHEW!". - They also explained that Agnus from DMC4 worked in Uroboros (evil corporation in DMC2) and stole technology behind artificial demons (like Lucia) and demon gates... To reimplement it with Order's funding on Fortuna Island in DMC4... And suddenly Credo being a feathery demon seems LOGICAL - because duh they used the same tech that created Lucia for it who is Feathers Galore Demoness! Overall DMC5 just took all media - novels, manga and games - fixed chronological order and put reference to every last of them... I mean c'mon Dante's "Tony Redgrave" alias derived from the name of the city and idea of Vergil going under ridiculously obvious pseudonym was taken right from DMC Novel Vol.1

I also started on DMC2. But then I played DMC1 and DMC3 and never looked back. It's pretty crazy how well DMC3 holds up to this very day.

im sorry but you stole my headcannon.... he's just got a hell of a hangover from that wicked party the other day,

DMC2 Dante: "Yeah, I'll do it if it's heads..." *flips coin*

DMC1 Dante: "I should have been the one you fill your dark soul with LIIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHTTT!"

DMC 4 & 5 Dante: What the hell am I doing!? *whips out Faust for Friday Night party with the former Yakuza*

DMC 5: mid life crisis :P

Why did you put a "3" After DmC?

Yeah in dmc2 he's dealing with vergils precieved death in dmc1 by dmc4 he's dealt with the loss and is back to his normal dmc3 self

I wanted to use my one chance to ask a genuenine, hard thought question, then i replied to a comment on a kamiya post and i forgot to untag him :/

Yep

Thats the start of dmc5

Have you heard the tragedy of Devil May Cry 2? Its not a tale Itsuno would tell you

@@rayd3657 Unlike DMC 2 just because you can beat the final boss in 5 using just Ebony and Ivory or the Mega Buster, doing such a thing is actually very difficult like a handicap should be. In 2 spamming DT guns or Dante's SMGs isn't exactly the optimal strategy for every situation but it will get the job done with very little effort or thought in 99% of fights. 5 is a joke compared to 3 in terms of difficulty though. Vergil 3 on Normal in DMC 3 is significantly harder than Vergil 4 and 5 on DMD in DMC 5 imo. Much as I love that final boss fight its almost insulting how passive and exploitable they made the guy this time. How can you have a Vergil boss fight that doesn't make me question my ability to play games? It's not right.

@@rayd3657 Demon Hunter is the second easiest difficulty tho. And you probably find DMC3 very hard because for the original american release they made hard the default difficulty.

Devil May Cry 2: The Reason The Timeline Of The Series Is So Weird

But it make sense why he's emo kinda

Plot twist: it was Reggie

Whoever it was the sense of shame must have been overwhelming.

@@cabbusses I was thinking the same thing, just look at what he did with SF.

@@cabbusses The timeline would also line up since the development of street fighter 4 didn't start until about 2005. Of course that would assume that he wasn't working on another project at the time. Though the fact the identity is unknown would probably make sense that they'd try to hide the failure of one of their more prominent directors.

It was Hideki Kamiya

To be fair this is also the reason why we even got Devil May Cry 3 and it was so awesome - Hideaki Itsuno just REFUSED to go in game history as the "The guy who directed Devil May Cry 2 that ruined franchise" and have gone to infinity and beyond with the next game. Seriously... I'm grateful to Hideki Kamiya for starting Devil May Cry... But Itsuno deserves all respect and MORE for bringing Devil May Cry from the brink not once BUT TWICE - this is one hell of a dedication to prove everyone wrong and do it right - and what is more impressive is his ability to find and keep good parts from subpar installments - for example Bloody Palace, proto Trickster style from DMC2 or Style Announcer, Vergil's Doppelganger move idea from DmC... Itsuno doesn't simply make a new awesome game - he salvages from wreckage what actually works - and uses it to make new game even better.

@@Ghostel3591 at this point , DMC6 will be luckwarm , just so Itsuno returns in DMC7. Which will be so glorious , that people will bleed while playing and develop an actual Devil Trigger

@@Ghostel3591 He did a Yoshi-P long, long before FF14 did it in that regard, really.

@@KuroNoTenno I expect DMC 7 to come out in 2040

Well... Like philosophers always said... You need to go down through hell first before you can end up in heaven! You need to go down first before you can go up! Edit: In Avatar Korra Aang said to Korra *"WHEN WE HIT OUR LOWEST POINT, WE ARE OPEN TO THE GREATEST CHANGE."* I guess that true to the director. However we must acknowledge the most important thing. *Chances!* or in a better word it would be: *opportunity* If no one given him the chance again... Then he will never be able to redeem himself. And this is true to everyone. Another example... Robert Downey Jr. Or now he is famously known as Ironman.

Another video I saw and they were talking about “good thing Dante isn’t one of those silent characters...oh wait...” lol. But 32 seconds that’s WILD

I would love if they bought her back. She had no character but I like her design and her devil trigger design.

DMCV had a companion novel that serves as a setup to the main campaign by explaining what everyone was up to just before the game's start. She appears in that as a part of Dante's story.

Yeah, that's a shame about Lucia. But hey, Axl got to become a popular character despite starting out in the bad one.

She had an outside-the-game role in the latest DMC.

the dude saved the franchise TWICE. what a chad

@@xs3tsunax I don't think DmC: devil may cry was a bad game just not the right game. It was when Capcom was going through that unfortunate "let's cater directly to the West" period. Those were dark days indeed.

It really wasn't very good when it initially came out. the combat was garbage. Then they patched it so the combat was closer to the original series and that's the version most people play that don't understand the hate. The director kept insulting the original series, and then they did the "never in a million years" "joke". Honestly, it had some good ideas and some well implemented ones and the final product isn't bad. but a lot of story is edge lord garbage and so are the characters. Now if they had just made a seperate game who knows where it would stand now?

@@Jose-se9pu I think he just needs to avoid even-numbered games

That explains why he has not returned to the series.

It was all a propaganda piece to embaress Dante’s image. DMC 2 still happened in canon but it was way cooler

Capcom really needs to ease up on working with devils.

I'd be devastated too if my favorite Ice-Cream parlor were to close for good. Rest In Peace Cowabunga Ice Cream.

Man im doing exactly that..., what the actual fuck? Horrible, horrible game, dante is fun to control, but holy shit Mr flicks, tha game looks ass, i just beated the building demon. Edit: okay I fucking finished it. To anyone getting into the series SKIP THIS GAME. Nothing to see here, no lore no story, no shit. It just made me feel even more the problems of the first one. I really hope the third one is good because man, im not super impresed with the series now.

@@ciligonzalez2897 Trust me, the difference between DMC 2 and 3 is night and day. DMC 3 is considered one of the best action games ever made, and with good reason. I have no qualms about recommending that everybody skips DMC 2.

@@OrangeyChocolate im playing the third one now, just beated (or got beaten by) vergil for the first time. Fucking. Amazing. Game.

@@ciligonzalez2897 Glad you're having a much better time with this one.

​@@ciligonzalez2897 Since you're playing the 3rd game, let me brief you the rest. DMC4:SE: It has 5 character, Nero(newcomer), Dante, Trish, Lady and Vergil Nero utilize brute force in his combat, really great for beginner. He also has snatch ability that depending on the size of enemy, allow him to snatch demon to him or bring himself closer to demon. His sword is a motor for some reason, and you can rev it to up to 3 levels, which increase his attack speed and power significantly and it's really awesome seeing him go haywire. There's a skill you can buy where if you press it at a right time, it will automatically fill up all 1 level and if you time it even right, it can fill all 3 level. So, if you're a posses godlike QTE ability, you can infinitely charged your attack. You like Dante in DMC3? You like all his style but hate that you can choose one at a time? You like all the weapon but disappointed that you can't carry more than 2? How about we give you the ability to switch style on the fly. Oh, and you can carry 3 melee and 3 range weapon now. Trish is like Dante, except she can't switch weapon and style. Lady focus more on range and kinda make the game quite easy. Vergil carry it's tradition as being OP as ever. DmC: Didn't play it yet, personally, I think it's fine, just it doesn't deserve the "DMC" name. DMC5: 4 character, Nero, Dante, V(newcomer) and Vergil(DLC and Special Edition) The best version of Nero. Now his arm can do more than just snatch. The best version of Dante, now you can carry much more weapon and unleash a crazy amount of possibilities of combo you can imagine. V is surprisingly quite unique. You are a summoner type and let all your summon do all the work for you. Quite fun and easy for beginner. Vergil is still as OP as ever.

Yeah, I get less of a feeling of actual insipid malice from Capcom than from Konami. I at least get the impression that Capcom knows there are people other than them that matter in the world

real gamers skip DMC2 and play nocturne instead

cant believe nocturne HD port is selling DMC2 for 10 dollars as DLC crazy

Was hoping to see a comment about Nocturne. Dante was fucking cool in that game unlike DMC2 lol

Not to mention a headcanon where he's actually contracted by Lucifer is able to make sense to the point you can put Dante's journey in Nocturne as canon in the mainline DMC series where it's believed as a sequel to DMC2, seeing his attribute and additude Well... it's just a headcanon though but still impressive nonetheless

i find that hard to believe

You're lucky! I tweeted at him, and I got blocked.

I didn't even tweet at him, just followed, got indirectly called insect and blocked. honestly, based.

I agree!

Quite a lot of things in this game had great concepts but failed in execution: Dante’s Majin Devil Trigger, Lucia, Dante’s outfit, and the environment demons and that’s it... Honestly if they take these ideas and put them in a game with the combat system of DMC 5 and tune up the voice acting and plot and you got a pretty awesome game.

" Another *_shot_* " poor choice of words

@@amirking5452 This is Capcom we’re talking about

@@8Kazuja8 True you do have a point...well ignore the Majin Devil Trigger thing but yeah your right on how Lucia was just wasted since she felt like she would be an awesome partner with Dante. Also the clothes yeah are not that important but sometimes the outfit looks cool to bring attention to people. Also the demon bosses in DMC2 are very interesting but badly implanted due to the shitty gameplay where if they updated it with DMC5 style of combat with DMC3 style of difficulty then you would get a tough and fun game. Also the voice acting and the plot REALLY needs to be worked on since the plot is so bare bones it doesn't even feel like a DMC game...I mean DMC1, DMC3. DMC4 and DMC5 had massive plots threaded together and gave some semblance of an ongoing saga but DMC2 feels so disjointed when you put it with the other games...it almost feels like the game was just a day of a random moment.

Cuz donte is gud an best in gaem

For real. One of the few saving graces of the game are the sick jams. Evil Tower, Uncanny Noise and Ragnarok are total bangers.

But DMC4 wasn't a bad game, it was rushed yes but it was 4000 miles better then DMC2

@Reggielacey 223 You mean the game where half of the levels is you going back through the same levels as a different character and was rushed out the door doesn't sound like a What Happened worthy topic?

@Reggielacey 223 It totally does tf.

@@CappuccinoGuil not really, the game didn’t flop and the answer is basically in the game, they wrent very confident in nero so they shoved in Dante for some gameplay, theres what happened

Wha Happuned doesn't cover only bad games just ones that had really bad development problems. This just usually leads to bad games. DMC4 had problems but honestly most come down to needed more time and didn't get it so instead of new levels Nero's were repurposed for Dante.

Thank God the timeline got retconned so that 4 comes after 2 lmao. Granted so does 5 so Trish is- Yeah I'm gonna say Trish probably didn't die before DMC 2.

Well I guess that explains it

Ah - goh - noh - phin - is I would guess?

Maybe something along the lines of "I gain a fine ass"

It's supposed to be two words, but the in-game text is smushed really bad. "Agonof Inis". Basically means "Agony Incarnate".

Especially cuz Trish and lady are best friends and fit soo well into the series. Lucia deserves to at least get to be a full character once.

Argosax theme is kickass, i won't lie

Those organs go wild, man. For a supposed equal to Mundus, Argosax got shafted hard both in game and in the lore.

@Baron o Markers Adjustments can be made. The games doesn't need to just a visual upgrade. They can re-imagine parts of the island to have it fit within changes to gameplay, too. DMC2 needs a complete overhaul in every aspect.

@Baron o Markers I would leave it to just one infested piece of military hardware, but would add an encounter with a demon possessing one of high military rank prior to that boss fight to have it make sense than just show up for the memes.

@Baron o Markers DMC2 has a megaton of potential to be great. For something like a tank fight to be exciting, I think they'd need to make that fight be similar to the Shagohod fight when Volgin was controlling it through wires using his suit, but they'd need to make it where a demon would telepathically control a tank crew.

@Baron o Markers The way the city of Redgrave in DMC5 is designed should be the way that small country should be in 2. Maybe a mech designed by a company that Arius heads could be a solution to that.

@Baron o Markers And certainly don't change the style of the voice acting for Arius. Did somebody order a LARGE HAM?
