Is it truly as bad as every says?
yes
>>738259542Yes. The only saving graces are Dante’s outfit, his wall running, and a SINGLE bit of one-liner gold late in the game. Everything else is pretty damn bad or at the very least forgettable.
>>738259542Unironically yes
Yes.
>>738259542I played it to completion. It's aggressively mediocre, but there was one chapter with giant building demon thing that was kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRZblEx2Dqg
>>738259542is the best one, just like ds2, people hate it just to be contrarians
>>738259542It's the second best one
.........haha oh wow there's dmc2 defenders now............haha.......oh wow..........man........woah.......wow.........hold up............wow...........oof........deep breath sweaty.......................wow...........dang
It's the Dark Souls 2 of DMC
>>738259542GOTHICATMOSPHERICKINO
>>738259542I rented it when I was probably 13 or 14, and all I remember was that the final boss was pretty cool, but I hated playing as the chick and it had some shit bosses like the helicopter.
>>738259542Yes. Sometimes sequels get more hate than they deserve just for being different from their predecessors, but DMC2 is a genuinely weak action game even without comparing it to DMC1.
>>738259542I already posted in the Spongebob thread but I'll add that it's also better than most games from the past ~10 years. Also, play this version instead of vanillahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8iU5tw0V_U
>>738259542Worst game in the series by far but there are a few highlights. Customizing your devil trigger is actually interesting, and the design / aesthetics are well done but gameplay comes first and it is stiff and repetitive.
It's okay. The autism around the game is stupid. There's some neat set pieces though. Running on the side of buildings was neat.
It depends on your definition of bad because the game is playable and has all the baisc of a devil may cry game and the graphical style is still cool as fuck. But as a whole package?This game is some bum ass shit, bar none the most painfully average and mediocre game OF ALL TIME
>>738259542It's not a very good game, and the fact that DMC1 showed them exactly what to do and yet they fucked up repeatedly is shocking.
No, and only because the way people describe the game you would think it's going to blow up your console and call the swat team on you for making counterfeit explosives or some shit. It's not as bad as people say, but it's still not a very good game. The optimal way to beat the game is walking slowly and holding the gun button. The alternative is using one of three swords with the same movesets, which is still boring since the game is filled with flying enemies that rarely attack and are often obscured by the shitty camera. Not to mention the bosses, which seem designed to be fought only with gun spam.
>>738259542While it's one of the worst games in the franchise I would rather replay 2 over 4. The levels are a bit too big and guns need a nerf otherwise it's a fun romp. DMC2 Dante is my favorite Dante.
Yes, especially coming off the heels of a genre-defining classic
>>738259738Despair embodied was a great final boss and his theme is sick. I remember replaying the game to play him again when I was a teenager.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxpgyaFEa8Y90% of the game is trash but it had some good things going on.
I have chosen to play Devil's Advocate. I'd much rather have this Dante or the Dante from 1 than wacky woohoo pizza man. Wacky woohoo pizza man is a Deadpool level character and I mean that in the worst way possible. Also wacky woohoo pizza man is not allowed to have cool designs anymore after 2, now he's either shirtless or dressed like he rolled out of bed. At least DMC2 Dante had style.
>>738259542it took everything that made the original game such a masterpiece by 2001 standards, and did the exact opposite. When in 2003 there was now a ton of games inspired by DMC1 that, even if they weren't as good, were way more fun to play then it's own sequel.All they had to do was take the dmc1 engine and make new 5/10 levels with it and you'd have a good game, instead they did stuff that genuinely feels like the devs sabotaged the game on purpose - like how they made all the levels big open areas but the camera is more zoomed in then the first game, still can't be freely controlled, and actually zooms in even more when a fight breaks out to ensure that you can never fucking keep the enemies on screen.it doesn't cause your console to melt or give you a seizure so some shitty 80's pc game is worse in terms of actual quality, but in terms of what it represents and the power gap between it's prequel and direct sequel it's hard to think of a bigger fucking letdown, so it's a literal 4/10 and a spiritual 1/10
>>738259542It's extremely boring, which is worse than being bad. Guns are also laughably overpowered.
>>738265518dmc5 dante is the exact same mix of serious and silly as dmc1, he just has way more lines so he has more total silly scenes and he looks fine in the opening before he spent a fucking month collapsed in a pile of blood and rubble
NTA but while yes run and gun is viable and all, sword is still more efficient since it has more DPS. So I have no idea why people are saying the best way to play the game is running away and shooting.
>>738259542Nope.But for deepfried brainfried zoomies alphas it's unplayable.Would reccomend for the atmosphere and music alone.
>>738265518Dante in 4 has a lot of intentionally very silly scenes, probably because they had very little time to actually finish the game and went with the first thing they came up with. In 3, he's a reasonable hero character, not that different from DMC1. He's generally very serious in 5 as well.
>>738266269People in any game play in the most braindead way possible that allows them to beat the game.If there is an easier diffculty they choose it.If they can complete a game just mashing one button they will do that even it its slower than learning the game.
>>738259542You need at least 100 IQ to understand tank controls
>>738266269because the enemies are constantly offscreenand because the combo structure in this game feels like ass where dante just kind of glides between keyframes, but despite this you somehow constantly whiffs when trying to do a basic 123 air combo because the hitboxes are too specificand all the ground combos send enemies flying but don't do enough damage to kill even basic enemies without grinding shitloads of orbs to level up your damageand the dps between melee and guns, especially DT guns or switch caceling the shotgun, isn't even that much bigger so people just go "fuck this game" and do the ez optionthe handguns in dmc2 actually do less dps relative to enemy healthbars compared to minmaxed gunslinger handguns in dmc3, it just feels good to push buttons in that game and they don't infinitely juggle some enemies just by mashing square
>>738266560but sword is more fun, this is like going into a jrpg and hitting attack over and over again. I mean other than it being memed who goes into dmc2 blind and goes hmm im just gonna run away and just pew pew everything. >>738266914dunno didn't really have a problem when I played. i'd say it's a significant enough difference where you'd shave off a good chunk of time in just literally going in and slashing.
>>738259542Its a hack&slash where you only shoot because the guns are better
>>738259542It's FUKKIN pogchampion
>>738259542you could play like 10 better games in the same genre on the ps2 alone around when this came out, let alone 20 years later
FORGEIT THE GAME BEFORE SOMEBODY TAKES YOU OUTTA THE FRAMEcover up your face the pace is too fast you just won't last
>>738267303Alucard is the worst part of Hellsing. Everything is solid besides his gary stu ass.
i think it was the first dmc I played, I thought it was okeish , it had a good flow
>>738267303So is DMC2 is the Hellsing, Hellsing Unlimited or Hellsing Abridged of the DMC games?
>>738259542No, it is just mediocre, a disappointing sequel after the breakthrough that was DMC1. Anyone saying it is one of the worst games ever made are jumping on the bandwagon, specially the recent essay videos about a 20 year old game they just found out about.
>>738259542Yep. Bloody Palace is shit, the shit bosses that people meme are quick to kill but still shit, the dogs have dogshit tracking. Trish plays closer to DMC1 Dante but nobody is going to play through this game multiple times in the year 2026 to get that far.The style of the game, however, is impeccable. And for what it's worth, you can have a good enough time with DMD/LMD. Lucia also isn't that bad of a character to play (in as much as 2 is concerned, at any rate)
>>738259542They made the sword attacks extremely slow and you can't cancel out of any move, which leaves you extremely vulnerable to hyper armor enemies and crowds. Also the stinger in this game is pathetic. They also buffed the guns. They don't do much more damage than before but they now instantly stun lock any non-hyper armor enemy and continuos fire make them start levitating. You can beat most encounters by just staying back and shooting, which is a lot safer than actually using melee. The game feels braindead easy at time, and then other times you can die very easily. There's a boss fight against a knight dude with two dogs and swear there's no realistic counter his attacks, it's just a nasty dps fight. The second form of final boss feels like a proper DMC boss but since you spent almost the entire game just mashing without a thought, it catches you offguard when you actually need to start playing seriously, right at the end. You can play as lucia too. In some ways she plays better than dante.
>>738259542It's better than the redditslop that is 5
>>738264405>>738269550It's amazing what they did to the game once Itsuno got put on it though. The dude joined the team with only ~4 months left, and the only move the team had even finished before he joined was stinger lol
What does the L stand for
>>738259542I played it myself.Yes.
>>738266172dante from 5 is a washed out boomer
>>738271457dante literally moves the entire plot and 1v1's urizen twice while nero runs around doing nothing, then tells dante and vergil>hey don't kill eachother okand they proceed to knock nero on his ass and go off to hell to wrap this shit up while nero fights fodder enemies and gets bullied by his mechanic
Alright the jig is up mundusGet in the flask
It has my favorite ending of any game in the series. Also people usually cite the "King? Yeah, here's your crown" line but I always thought "Don't speak, just die" had the coolest delivery
>>738259542I had a blast
>>738259542I enjoyed the gothic atmosphere and someone the design, but the gameplay is really boring
Duuuuurrrrrrrrer why am I brown
It's the only Devil May Cry with builds that matter.DMC3 comes in second with its "choose a weapon" mechanic.DMC2 is a very good game.
It's worse than bad, it's B O R I N G. Infamously bad games like Sonic 06 at least generally have some "trainwreck appeal" going on with what a mess they are. DMC2 has nothing; it's just barely solid enough mechanically that it becomes an uninteresting slog from start to finish.
Some evil group was able to collect dante's essence without him being aware of it. They've been using it to try and recreate him and gain control of their own son of sparda. Most of their attempts end up birthing abominations, until the last trial results in a healthy baby girl. Unbeknownst to dante his daughter is born, raised, and indoctrinated by this group. She is fed a twisted series of events that paint devil may cry and its affiliates as the true evil (not difficult, how many thousands of people have died now around them) of the world, and she is told she is some sort of chosen one that is meant to inflict vengeful justice upon them. First half of the game is you controlling daughteru and testing her might against a series of abominations that are said to have been servants of dante. Daughteru is a style switcher like her deadbeat dad. Her styles are Gunsword™ that melds attacks of your devil arm and firearm together; Cast Element™ that uses your devil arm as a focus to fire off elemental magic stuff; NotRG™ that redirects enemy attacks with skillful timing; and Summon™ that is like doppelganger but creates a shade of the devil arm's original demon (I have the autistic idea that she gains this last style when confronting a evil corp corrupted version of a devil that was her chief caretaker during childhood before being repurposed after being deemed useless when daughteru outgrew needing a caretaker).After defeating the half-devil abominations fan hits the shit and devil may cry bursts onto the scene having detected demonic fuckery afoot. Cue dramatic sequence of daughteru's perceived world being called into question, learning that the abominations she killed were like her siblings in a twisted way, her relation to sparda and dante. After this daughteru fucks off to soul search and you choose your preferred member of devil may cry to tear up the evil lair.
I beat DMC2 in its release year after seeing an ad for it in the back of the Resident Evil 1 case. My son's now named after one of Raziel's brothers.Now before we can go any further, we all need to confirm that you hate the new fucking gay platformer.
lucia's theme was later reversed and edited to become vergil battle 1 theme from DMC3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaqmGoMn4sA
>>738262479>Customizing your devil triggerThey should give this to Nero
>>738259542What I find hilarious about this is that stupid whites will come to regret ever fighting Hitler. Can't wait until all white nations are truly damaged beyond repair. Jews have done a wonderful job killing white countries and white people are thankfully way too fucking stupid to notice.For example white people are still convinced that Disney is a Christian company, that's how IDIOTIC whites are. Every day Jews must say in the morning "Thank god that white people are stupid."
Some historians believe that it's not entirely unlikely that this might have happened, but the evidence for actual crying fanboy who thinks the PS1 game you played at 8 is perfection. I don't mind that it's not 1:1 because I didn't play it when I was 8 and don't have an autistic fixation to know what is happening anymore, but every optimization problem modern "professional" can't square that with the Knight's tears being a patriotic narrative Just because Mona says there are machines underground That's either a bleassing or a curse. The overworld is spacious enough to give a sense of scale, but actually small enough to keep the world saturated with secrets and prizes. The combat is easy to pick up and crucial to master. the only downside of restoring the canvas was the unhappiness of one ghost/As someone who feels 3 was my least favorite, I respect that it was trying something different and it actually does a good job The whole point is literally that these operating systems will become much more awkward, if they don't they can enjoy bankruptcy. still 90% of the time waiting for you to attack them. It would have been so kino the first ever action rpg series (dragon slayer) morphed into this generic trash. What a legacy
Game would be fine if they actually fixed/finished the enemy AI. combat and everything else is pretty functional.
2 was terrible. It was actually better to do most of the fights, plus all of the boss fights, just spamming guns because the melee was shit and just got you hurt.
>>738278470Is this a bot post?>>738273623Why is a 4chan pass user putting their name as a tripcode rather than doing an actual tripcode?What the fuck is going on with this thread?
>>738259542I think its perfectly fine, not as good as 3 and loses the atmosphere of 1 but still not a bad game at all
>>738259542You're probably b8ing but I'll explain it anyways. You're strawmanning hard and the problem isn't that people have different opinions and don't like the artstyle or whatever. The problem is that they come into every thread and say the same shit>IT LOOKS LIKE DmC2 LOL ENJOY DmC2 FAGGOTS LA CREATURA, LADY HAS A MANJAWThey get pissed off that the people in these threads are rabid fanboys who don't acccept anyone who doesn't like everything about the game, and that their """valid criticisms""" aren't being taken seriously. When all they do is come into the thread and spam how the game is a 0/10 and going to flop because a character looks kind of weird when you pause a trailer and a certain point. Or how the game somehow apparently looks like DmC. Yes I agree there are some flaws, but I'm not going to make DMC5 into another TORtanic when most things we've seen about the game look fine and it isn't even out yet. Stop playing the victim.
>>738259542>Thinks DMC2 is le bad because he watched crowbcat's vid on YouTube and thinks being cynical 12iq retard like Total biscuit is based & deepLiteral NPC robot. Beep boop.
there's a lot to hate, even if the game is decent, it barely feels like dmc. I could write a fucking wall, let me try the short version.I love dmc1 being a single map where everything is connected and each room is different..in 5, you get Y shaped corridors where one branch is a dead end, and everything is the same mess inside the tree.I love how stylish dante looks in 2, yet 5 is "realism first, we're saving time by scanning irl things" now he's a hobo.I love how heartfelt and straightforward the story was in 3, in 5 they don't even tell you the story, you have to read the V manga to fully get it. plus it fucking jumps around in time for no reason.I hated playing as nero in 4, I wanted more dante. in 5, there's even less dante, but you also have V now, he sucks.the music was always cool, now half of the game is sad violin music.tons of returning enemies, hated that.there are D.m.C. vibes, announcer, shit hud, specific enemies, nero's looks, some bosses.the game plays slower than before. there aren't enough enemies to fight, re engine doesn't make things pop, there's no fix camera anymore, no horror, the face models look awful in game, the entire game to me feels like as if D.m.C.2, was salvaged, got into beta, they made a tech demo and sold it as a new game.the foundation is solid, but it's far removed from how dmc games are. I like it still. when it came out everyone was happy because it wasn't the reboot. no negativity was ALLOWED, IF YOU'RE NEGATIVE THE REBOOT COMES BACK ARE YOU A REBOOTFAG? I hate the reboot, and I don't like a lot of things about dmc5, even if it's a decent game.
I don't have a lot of webms but here's one from a while ago showing off a drug you can inject into yourself that turns you into a walking thermonuclear warhead and makes you explode, insta-gibbing all nearby enemies or lighting them on fire. drugs in the game work like plasmids in bioshock or derma patches in system shock. there's a bit of postal 2 crammed in there too
>>738261112It's that bad?
>>738259542I'm playing through them now and forgot how fucking sweaty it is at times. Not difficult but the first one sure fucking loved making you backtrack over and over and just fighting six waves every room. Perfect when I was 12 and it first came out but now I just feel like I'm being padded.On the flipside it's actually nice to do all the extra shit I never did the first time like the dumbass gummi missions, christ you can become overpowered there.Semi looking forward to all the stupid "side" games. It'll be nice to actually escape the "I don't know the story I just played kingdom hearts 1&2 meme.
>>738271832>Get in the flaskGod fucking dammit Im dying squirtle
>>738259542It's genuinely bad It's so bad that I can't even pretend to like it and be a contrarian There isn't a single good part in it's design It's kinda mind blowing how ass it was.

>>738259542No, it's overblown by people who haven't played it to join in on the hate. Which is not to say it's a good game, it sucks, but people will treat it like unplayable trash (it is) and then turn around and call some open world western RPG a masterpiece.
So bad it made me skip DMC3 because i thought the series was dead or something.
Lady in DMC3 is peak.They made her design too slutty in 4
this game is an insult to video games, the most powerful option is just spamming the pistols, enemies are brain dead, the areas are fucking huge, like walking 10 minutes on an empty highway with a few tanks that can't hurt you empty. The bosses are horrible, the only ""passable"" one is the final phase of the final boss, but the game ends right after.the biggest insult is that the game asks you to play through 20 hours of snoozefest with a somehow worse character right at the end.there's no character for dante, he's the typical dark edgy mc that doesnt talk much; much more than dmc 1. theres no color at all in the game, everything is grey or brown. the game is a straight hallway no exploration like 1 or 3. music is bland i can't remember any of it compared to 1 and 3. the game is way too long for what it is, i would have put max 3-4 hours into this, the gameplay never evoles, no new moves, and i dont even remember if you get new wepons like 1 and 3.honest to god, the worst game i have ever played. Doesn't have the trainwreck appeal with funny glitches or funny corny dialogue, its just bland slop all the way through.Hideaki Itsuno was put on this game late into developement, and he asked capcom to make devil may cry 3 asap because we was ashamed to have his name on this game and he wanted to correct that.defenders of this game are trolling
>>738259542Yes don't let any dumb faget tell you it's not.>t. Rented DMC1 and loved it, immediately bought DMC2, could not complete some levels because it was TOO FUCKING DARK and really subpar combat.>Bloody Palace and the brown bitch were cool tho.
It's highly mediocre to outright bad at times but with context to its development it's sorta fun to pick out the cool stuff here and there. I kinda like its atmosphere, the customizable devil trigger is pretty cool, some of the music is pretty good, and I liked speculating on how the designers must've felt putting this together with the biggest fire under their asses possible while playing it.
I wish Kyrie was in 5
the only good one is DMC3 anyway
>>738259542I think people exaggerate how bad it is, but it IS a bad game. 5, maybe 6 out of 10.
It is a good as it gets for a game that was broken to pieces and put back together in 6 months. There is a reason why Itsuno APOLOGIZED and went back to make the best game in the series afterwards as a result. Not his fault ironically since he wasn't in charge at the time - they wanted him to unfuck the game ASAP. At least we had great ideas from it, like styles and such. I can't even think about how the man that made DMC3 had also done DD2. That's beyond me
Its bad but I liked it as a kid because I really wanted to fuck Devil Form Lucia, still do
>>738259542This vid sums it up perfectly. https://youtu.be/wtfP3lElssg?si=5_F7cz2nW3BMRgOa&t=187
>>738259542What the fuck happened to Dante
>>738259542It has both good and bad partsGood:>Shooting feels the best in the series until DMC5, the guns and the gun tricks are the best and they shit out damage>Melee is interesting with directional moves, somewhat fun air and ground combos>Level design and setting is actually rather interestingCons:>Demon design is mediocre>Bosses are a bit infuriating and not very good>Story is okay at best>Lucia feels like the main character and who the game was made for instead of dante>Not much replayability or fun shit past a first playthroughIt's mid, but it's definitely not a boring mid.
