>it's bad because... THE ECELEB SAID SO!
>>729112972Jontron was right about Banjo Nuts and Bolts and Star Fox Adventures though
>>729112972Honestly I always took “dmc 2 sux” as gospel because of how many people said it. But actually playing the game for myself revealed a true masterpiece of the medium. What an underrated gem
>>729112972being a contrarian does not make you unique or interesting
>>729112972back then, it was the magazines, but they still gave it a 6-7/10
>>729112972As someone who played this before actually using the internet I liked it.I liked 1 moreAnd 3 more aswellBut I found DMC2 an enjoyable experience,especially because of its atmosphere and how it looks and sounds.
>>729113065yes it does
>>729112972what a waste of a badass grimdark cover.
>>729113060It’s simple and probably too easy but yea, it’s not bad. I completed everything in the game, every difficulty. The costumes helped.
>>729112972
>>729112972The eceleb Joe Reddiffer of major youtube retro channel game sack actually said that DMC2 is the definitive game of the originally trilogy and vastly superior to DMC 3.
>>729113060It's still shitposting, even if you're being ironic.
Honestly, do you really think people need an eceleb to tell them that fucking DMC2 of all games, is bad? It's only not apparent to people with terminal shit taste or complete lack of standards.
>>729113060I took it with a grain of salt because I don't trust the "established" opinions. But no, they were right, it was a steaming pile of dogshit.
>729113696Wojaknigger is retarded as usualI haven't even played E33 and have no desire to.
>>729112972It's ok. I hate 3 more due to it's reddit humor.>lol dante eating pizza while killing shitloads what a WHACKERINO situation
>>729112972Ah yes, the common zoomer refrain for why anyone hates dogshit games they grew up with, because their first encounter with people disagreeing with them was through a Youtube video
Rented it back when it first came outBeat it but didn't touch disc 2It was fine. Better than any overrated westshit like God of War.
They got Reuben to VA 2 Dante in the Nocturne remaster. The only thing more disrespectful would be him VA'ing a 1 remake Dante.
>>729113696This is wrong because "le dee em shee 2 is all bang bang bang" requires the square option not the cross.
>>729114457I wish it was only delivering his lazy 4/5 Dante to Nocturne Dante (based more or less on 1 Dante.)They actually changed the script too. Just look up a Dante cutscene from the vanilla version and the remaster.Original: https://youtu.be/Jy3ufqp3l10Remaster: https://youtu.be/nxDycUgn7jw
>>729113052except for the starfox adventures part
>>729112972All the arguments mostly boil down to the fact it's just an older version of dmc5, even down to the sdt mechanic
it had a cool dante design.thats about it.
>>729113060there is an absolutely kino game buried underneath the non existent difficulty and awful enemy design
>>729112972it's bad because I played it and it was dogshit and a half.
>>729112972Your first attempt to change the public opinion of DMC2 by spamming "it's an underrated gem!" threads failed, why are you trying again?
>>729112972This was my first DMC game as a rental. It made me sleepy.
>>729112972I beat this game four times already and I'm no eceleb, I can guarantee you this game is fucking shit and sucks ass, don't waste your time with it
>>729113060you're brown
Reminder that doing historical revisionism with bad games is a strategy of the sharty.
>>729112972>teenage me thought the final boss and his death scene was the coolest shit everDon't even care if it was *teleports behind you*-tier, but the rest of the game was kinda meh, and fuck playing as bitch tits.
>>729112972This game feels like it was made by fans using official assets and code.
>>729112972>First DMC with a full scale metropolis city>it's in the worse one
>>729112972>thing is wrong because.....person on screen said so!!!!!
>>729119557Despair Embodied didn't deserve to be in this terrible game. It's the only fun part of the game. https://youtu.be/qxpgyaFEa8Y
I play games for the role. DMC2 Dante is the last cool Dante. Gameplay tards lack media literacy and just want everything to play the same. The game's flawless.
>>729112972I didn't skip it while playing through the series and even beat it as both Dante and Lucia. Holy fuck is it boring. A true slog of a button masher with no sense of flow. It takes no time to master each character because they both have the depth of a puddle. The start of DMC3 was hell because I had to unlearn everything from DMC2.If you ever play it I recommend using the cheat code that lets you play as Trish because her gameplay is the most tolerable.
>>729120549>DMC3 is le kino cause Dante hops on the table and demands szechuan sauceGood shit indeed.
>>729120730We get it chud, you have fun and based things.
>>729120730This but unironically
>>729114126>>729120730what is this weird obsession? even if you skipped every cutscene in dmc3 it would still be 5 times a better game than 2 anyway lol
>>729112972It's bad because I played it without knowing the opinion of the game at the time and quit halfway through.
So why do we like this shit again frens????? You can't combo. 2/10 game ofc haha
>>729112972These kinds of threads really show you how much of /v/ actually plays video games and how much of /v/ just posts bullshit based on vibes. A lot of this thread is the latter.Liking DMC2 isn't simply contrarianism. Skyward Sword being your favorite Zelda is contrarian. DMC2 fundamentally feels like shit to play. It's not a game you can enjoy in the moment to moment. The game goes out of its way to make sure you don't enjoy it. It is an unsatisfying mind-numbing experience. You can't even have a conversation beyond that because if you fuck up the fundamentals there isn't a rest of the game to enjoy. That IS the game. It's like trying to eat soup with a spoon covered in spikes and turds, you're not going to be talking about what the soup tastes like, you're going to be like "what the fuck is wrong with this spoon???".Absolutely no one ITT defending DMC2 has actually played it.
>>729121182mostly different genre, an exploration puzzle game. Can't be compared to dmc since they're both different
>>729121363>t. immie post
>>729121363Tl;dr?Nvm whiny nerds are a dime a dozen
>>729121403>Can't be compared because you can't comboBlow it out your ass bud.It's atmospheric gothic kino.
The sequel to Devil May Cry did not get the reputation it has for no fucking reason.You can stunlock enemies with your pistols.And juggle them into the air, from the ground, with your pistols.You can clear waves of enemies this way, with your pistols.You can solo much of the game this way.Dominant strategies have a way of fucking up games in a hurry.
Dee em see tooDante is best gaem
>>729119316Why did you treat yourself to a serving of shit 4 times, anon?
>>729121672>You can stunlock enemies with your pistols.>And juggle them into the air, from the ground, with your pistols.>You can clear waves of enemies this way, with your pistols.Huh seems like they kept the traditions from DMC1 then
>>729121840Not even close.
>>729121968DMC1 shit because you can't combo...........
>>729120730Hey man I would be singing DMC2's praises if the gameplay wasn't horrible. I like Lucia. I think it was cool that they tried to make Dante more depressive after DMC1's ending due to killing Nelo Angelo. Some of the enemy designs are cool. But bad gameplay for a Hack n' Slash is unforgivable.
>>729122062You can't combo between different melee weapons, no.
>>729121630>retard being this bad
>>729122083I'd be singing your praises if you weren't a Redd*t0r. Kys
>>729121840>>729122062>immediately moves goalpost after rewatching DMC1 gunplayLol. You can definitely combo in DMC1
>>729122232DMC1 has no bloody palace so how do you know if you're coming or not?
>>729122163>censors words like a redditorGo back.
>>729121630i said they're not comparable because they're going for two different things. you can compare a car head light the same way you would for a regular house hold lightbulb
>>729122298Forgot to add in the word kek so you look like you for in. Faggot
>>729122278>he comes to DMC2 bloody palaceOh nonono, shitposter sisters, we made a typo!
>>729112972I pay real money for this game and it's not bad it's fucking boring
We're in an age where old bad games are now good because modern bad games are much worse.Gen Z are gushing over DMC2, Shadow the Hedgehog, and MGS2.
>>729122320Video game is a painting. You're just a pretentious pseued nigger
>>729121182For the dialog and voice acting. All Legacy of Kain games are extremely bad outside of that.
>>729122365>English skills breaking down this earlyDMC2 fags aren't sending their best.
>>729122415>DMC2 Pure contrarianism >Shadow the Hedgehog Childhood nostalgia slop>MGS2Good game. Kill yourself
>>729121630>>729122320also dmc1 has amazing gothic kino too
>>729122472Tell it to someone who cares Mr janny nigger
>>729122426>video games are le art chud>can't even talk about gameplayWhat's so artistic about a literal elevator fight?
>>729122426get over yourself projecting fag
>>729112972I wish you /v/ NIGGERS would understand that two things can be true at the same time.DMC2 is fucking bad, it's just straight up a downgrade from 1 and inferior in every conceivable way to the rest of the series. You don't need an eceleb to tell you that. At the same time, yes, ecelebs suck fucking cock and should kill themselves and the people that treat their words as absolute gospel should also end their lives as soon as possible. Both are true, you don't need to pick one over the other. No one is making you pick one, you can believe both things. You don't suddenly like ecelebs just for saying dmc2 is bad. What the fuck is wrong with all of you creatures?
>>729112972It's bad because it sucks.
DMC2 bait threads have been common on here since forever but people in this thread are acting like it's their first time.
You can like bad games, hell you can even have fun with them, just don't pretend they're objectively good and seethe when people call you out for it.
>>729122556>jannies out of nowhereProjecting again, you shit shitposter .
>>729119557https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHYst4-4UHo10/10, i cri evri tiem
>>729122578Post DMC 4 combo video since your such an epic master chief gamer with kino comboing game skills
>>729113696Both shit
>>729122610You got filtered.
>>729112972I agree with this shitpost in principle because anyone who calls a video game bad without playing it, are sheep and automatically wrong.
>>729122684>Psyoppers word of the day>ProjectingOk
>>729122753>since your such an epic master chief gamer with kino comboing game skills
>>729122813Maybe if you're low IQ. I can tell if a game is good from 5 minutes of footage.
>>729122970>DMCfrens don't play DMCNothing I didn't already know
>>729112972It's bad because I played it when it came out, before DMC3 saved the emergent series, and it was a massive downgrade in terms of difficulty, gameplay complexity, boss designs, graphics, music, variety etc. It was always a cheap cash grab follow-up.
>>729122996Your #1 game bro? What's your media literacy like? If you can tell so fast I must know your kino taste supreme.
>>729122996No, you think it looks bad, not that it is bad. You cannot know a game is bad unless you play it
>>729123140DMC3Red Dead RedemptionHalf Life 2Last of Us 2Ninja Gaiden Black*Mic drops*
>>729112972They should this face for Dante in the next dmc game. Looks great
>>729122996I need less than a minute of actual gameplay to tell if a game's good and if I pesonally will enjoy it or not. Sometimes I can tell in 10 seconds.
>>729123247It's the opposite. The moment you play a game you're no longer objective.
>>729123408I diagnose you with ADHD zoomer faggotry thus.
>>729123007you're having a meltdown over a non-issue. I'm saying legacy of kain and dmc are two different kinds of games and you're only getting angrier
>>729123526Two different kind of games where you can't combo so they're both shit.
>>729112972it has ALWAYS been known as a bad game
>>729123421You are confirming in this statement that the words of other people are fact, so thank you for proving your retardation
>>729112972It's bad because unlike 99% of /v/ I was alive when it released and played it at the time and the combat was repetitive garbage which dragged down the entire rest of the game.
>>729112972It was dogshit at release day and it's dogshit now
man the gothic atmospheric poster sure can bait when he feels like it
>>729112972This game is so easy I bet you could train a LLM to beat it faster than Pokemon Red.
>>729123701Ironic, considering you don't have an original thought in your body and are just parroting /v/ shitposts.

>>729124136Just like in DMC1
>>729123928Only real gamers did a Dante AND a Lucia playthrough.
>>729124207You're right, 1 and 2 are both trash kek 3 is the true start of the series
>>729124160Nah, all your opinions are generic discord tranny gospel.Film yourself eating shit and describe the flavor as something other than tasting like shit. Then I will believe you're an original thinker.

>>729123928kek. game is fucking dogshit
It's absolute shit until you unlock Trish, then it becomes a solid 6/10.
>>729125245I don't entirely agree with the video but i was putting it there as devils advocate

>>729123928>>729125273You just proved OP right by dicksucking an eceleb and parroting his opinion.
>>729125357>This game's shit what if I played devil's advocate to prove it's shitWowwweee. 100000000 IQ here buddy.
>>729125367>>729125478*stands still*nothin personnel kid
>>729125478What about the rest of us that actually played the game and remember how braindead the boss AI is? You can gun everything down in DMC3 and ignore the style system, but you can't literally stand still doing nothing without taking damage. Stop being a contrarian faggot because you're guided by nostalgia.
>>729113060>>729125464Can understand e-celeb hate but the game (atleast gameplay wise) is just older dmc5 essentially and i'm not even the biggest fan of dmc5 (I like dmc1 and 3 the most)>>729125514I didn't make the video retard
i used to shill this game so people would have a bad tme

The game was always difficult for me.>Stop being a contrarian faggot because you're guided by nostalgia.Haha, so not being a sheep blindly hating a good game and not liking the overrated prequel and sequel makes me a contrarian?
>>729126001>Bottom tier enemies have shit AINo surprise. Anyways here's a boss-fight complete with healthbar from DMC2.
>>729125620ironically zooms are so reliant on ecelebs for their opinions they think everyone else is too
>>729126001the one for dmc2 faggot>>729126154game is trash bro. i know you're just shitposting but i'll play along. i beat the game. the game is nothing. there is nothing to it. nothing. you use the dual guns the entire game. enemies suck. they are the worst AI from any video game ever. gameplay sucks, there is no gameplay actually. its guns. no thinking required for anything. no nothing or anything. it has the coolest design for dante, some really good tracks, and the super duper devil trigger is pretty cool and was badass when i triggered it on the final fight against flame man at 1 hp but other than that this game is nothing. it doesn't even exist, everything i'm telling you, this thread, what you're saying, it's just not even real bro. your whole life is a lie
>>729126001>Posts a webm of trash mobs taking a couple random swings at caffeinated DanteWhat was the point of this vid?
If you forward attack as you land Dante does a tackle. If you're DT'd he does a leg sweep.
>>729126254there it is thank you keke >>729125150
>>729126254Uh oh the 2rannies aren't gonna like this one!
>>729125658Posts like this really confirm the shitbrained contrarian mentality this board suffers from.
>>729126883Get a life nerd.
>>729126482>enemies suck. they are the worst AI from any video game ever.The AI is quite good for an early 2000's game. You're just deliberately cheesing it.>gameplay sucks, there is no gameplay actually. its guns. no thinking required for anything. no nothing or anything.The gameplay "sucking" is subjective, but DMC3 literally is nothing but shooting. DMC2 has plenty of parts where you use the sword.
>>729112972For all the stupid niggers who still want to have this fake argument, let me remind you that this was the ONLY DMC game developed by Capcom Production Studio 1.
>>729113052You do realize he said Nuts and Bolts wasn't a bad game in the video just that it shouldn't have been "A Banjo Game" and "The Third Banjo Game".Right?
>>729126942I'm saying that dmc2 isn't as good as some people say it is but it's not like dmc5 is this second coming either.It's not impossible to have fun with dmc2 but it's not amazing
Just another thread of insincere psyopping niggers that I'm supposed to larp with. Nothing to see here.
>>729127096thanks, i needed that laugh. i'll just post a cool track from the gamehttps://youtu.be/rg49d5qMR4Y?si=DP3an0AIjG65QR_v
>>729114938Fucking hellfire, do they not understand the writing.>"There you are fiend. Let's see what you've got. glad to meet you kid, I hope you feel the same."This actually gets across Dante's character in a very short amount of time. "There you are fiend" establishes that he doesn't regard you as human, and that he looks upon you with contempt. (Dante despising demons is SUPPOSED to be a core aspect of his character). And "Glad to meet you kid, I hope you feel the same" is actually a really fucking badass line since he's holding a gun to your face, establishing his sarcastic sense of humor.>"There's our fiend. Let's see what you've got. Nice meeting you kid. Don't take this too personal.""There's our fiend" completely loses the animosity of the original, probably because they can only think of Dante as the "crazy wahoo pizza man" and don't understand the core character traits that the original games established that made him interesting and nuanced. "Nice meeting you kid, don't take this too personal," sounds like he's genuinely sympathetic towards this demon (which he shouldn't be) and lacks all the badassery the original had in his sarcastic introduction as he was about to blow his target's brains out, despite the body language being the same. Also, the rewrite is annoyingly "cowboy" in its grammar.God I hate that nobody can write Dante anymore. Doesn't help Rueben didn't even try to match DMC2's mannerisms or delivery despite Matthew Kaminsky technically being in SMTIII for some of Dante's grunts (unless those SFX are some random Capcom employee, but it's still part of the original DMC2 voice). I Rueben incredibly frustrating since he did so fucking good in DMC3, which was the last time we actually Dante in-character before he was totally flanderized for DMC4. Did the nuances of his own performance go over his head or something?
>>729112972Yeah the gameplay is really meh, it's a downgrade to the first game somehow which, while simple, was really satisfying, this one is just boring. The enemies don't help either, they're really bland and easy for the most part. I really like the music in this game though. I wish there was a mod that replaced the soundtrack of DMC 3 with all the different themes in DMC 2. DMC3 has 2 combat themes in the entire game, not counting bosses. Hearing "the flinch in your eye calls your bluff" for the 200th time got fucking annoying. These bangers would be pretty cool in DMC3, like imagine this one in the stripper club fight in the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWwFaBWOBTM&list=PL1bN6Zi8mULrY716koshHcBJSDs3pC_Xk&index=17
>>729121363>DMC2 fundamentally feels like shit to play.Thanks for telling us you just post bullshit based on vibes (probably up your ass).
Just hide the thread. Makes them more mad.
New /v/ rule: Bringing up e-celebs in your argument period makes you a faggot and your argument invalid. This way it catches both faggots that parrot e-celeb opinions AND faggots that think your opinion is invalid because some e-celeb also has it.
DMC5 is almost 7 years old. This level of seething can't be healthy
