We Played Devil May Cry 2 Because Everybody Told Us Not To

We'll be brutally honest.. we didn't think it was gonna be this bad. ^~^; Well, hope you will all enjoy this really long video about our Devil May Cry 2 journey! Watch the game slowly drain our souls.. ._.
Where to even begin with this. It's boring, frustratingly boring. The story is super vague and tells you nothing, the gameplay is too simple but also extremely time consuming, the environment is bland, the stages are unnecessarily big.. The game is just mind-blowingly bad.
Yes, we could've made this into two or three videos to make a series out of it.. buuuuut after finishing DMC2 we just wanted to be rid of this so we could move on to better things XD And yes, as we say in the video: We are not gonna play Lucia's portion of the game, we watched her cutscenes and it ads nothing to the overall experience. It would've just been another headache to sit through.
Watch our other Devil May Cry videos to restore your faith in the series!: • We Love This Game Alre...

Welcome to our pain. If there’s any solace in this abomination, it’s that the game’s director, Hideaki Itsuno, disliked this project so much that he wanted to make another one because he felt the series deserved something better. Considering he went on to direct DMC 3, 4, and 5, all of which are amazing, I think he directed the series to redemption pretty damn well.

18:01 That right there is Majin Devil Trigger. It's basically a prototype Sin DT from DMC5, but a LOT less balanced. If you're like one hit away from dying, when you enter DT you enter that form instead. And as you can see, its DPS is absolute absurd since *shooting* melted that Infested Chopper in about five seconds. You only get it once per life. Also you're completely invincible

"I hope the entire team was fucking fired" Actually, the team largely stayed together, determined to learn from the experience, and based on 3 4 and 5, they clearly did. The team were originally from Capcoms Arcade division, and corporate nonsense saw them thrown into a console project they had little skill in.

Also, a quote from wikipedia to show how the higher ups had NO idea what they were doing. "Since a producer didn't like the "joke-cracking wiseass" Dante of Devil May Cry, he was re-envisioned as grown-up and taciturn. Morihashi believes the game's story was outsourced to a non-company writer."

The only good things that came from Devils May Cry 2: 1. Dante's outfit and Devil Trigger design 2. The Majin form was the base of Sin DT in dmc5 3. The concept of weapon switching on triggers (even if it's only the guns in this game) 4. Enemy health displayed on lock on (was definitely improved in the next game) 5. "Here's your crown" and the final boss cutscene ( the only "cool" cutscenes out of the entire game) 6. The Despaired Embodied boss fight (to me at least) The bad things that came from Devil May Cry 2: EVERY THING ELSE Random info about this game: 1.it was made in 4 months and it was an entirely different team that made this game 2. Trish is in the game with the dmc 1 moveset 3. It has cool lore if you REALLY deep dive into the game files and in the 3-1-2-4 concert art book

God, the inevitable natural progression of playing this game gets me every time I see a playthrough. I swear the mood devolves the same way every time. It starts with some spark of interest, curiosity mixed with disbelief at this factually terrible game, maybe even a naïve sense of "hey, it's not that bad." But it inevitably ends in extensive groaning an sometimes even sobbing and a lot of fast forwarding clips. Then comes the emptiness, driven only by some resolve to get this over with which is probably driven in turn by a sunk-cost fallacy. Also, yeah, the plot is barely there, and the game is so boring it makes it all seem borderline incomprehensible.

@Flinch9000 11 ай бұрын

Am I a wanted man if I say I somewhat enjoyed DMC 2? Lucia was a neat character, and her side of the story kinda made it more enjoyable, along with the infamous chopper boss fight, depressed Dante who has a minute’s worth of lines, a story as confusing as BO3’s, but less confusing as that one, the awesome OST, and everything else in between. Overall, DMC 2 is a 7 for me. Edit: pley deemcee2 is the best gaem.

This game is dumb as hell If you're wondering why the melee combat was so bland, it's because they designed it in a stupid way In order for Dante to execute a different combo, you have to A: NOT be locked-on, and B: Have to move the move stick in a direction. So if you're playing on Xbox, Dante's D combo would be Y, Y, Y, (Move the stick) Y And that's the same for all of his combos pretty much, even in Devil Trigger, which he gets new ones The game doesn't tell you that anywhere I think
