    The best thing about DMC2 is that it forced Capcom to course correct into DMC3.

      Itsuno had 6 months to make the game. And he was determined NOT to be the guy who just made DMC2. And because of it we have DMC3 and DMC5: two of the best games ever made.

    • @kiranikib42
      @kiranikib42 2 years ago +197

      true that was one positive from dmc2 was that line and his final line and thats it well actually his fit is amazing but thats it all the bosses are crap(like that tentacle one that is insanely bad) camera, and the gameplay aka just an fps since no one has a way to hit you which is embarrassingly hilarious

      @kiranikib42 BULLSHIT. DMC3 owes DMC2 a lot in the same manner Star Fox 64 owes it to Star Fox 2. In DMC2 we got Dante's signature sword Rebellion, the introduction of Bloody Palace, changing weapons with L2, stage selection after completing the game once, the lock-on was better implemented here compared to DMC1 (which uses the R3 analog stick, which kinda sucks), this is the first game to introduce a separate campaign to that of Dante in the form of Lucia, and last but not least, when you're fighting enemies and trying to rank S, you go back do "D" once you're hit (in DMC1, your score only lowers from S to A, then from A to B, and so on, and you only lose it completely if you're thrown by an enemy, in DMC2, however, it only goes back to 0, which makes it slightly harder but also became a main stay in the series, one hit and you're out). Also, let's not kid ourselves, Dante's new design is really cool, the music is good, and enemies' overall design also look cool in my book.

    The portrayal of Dante in DMC 2 being depressed and not talking much can also be explained by him going through some tough shit , but i like that in 4 and 5 he's slowly going from the bad depression to the" fuck it we ball " depression

  • @eyrestahl
    @eyrestahl 2 years ago +4245

    If you're wondering why the story made no sense, it's because all the plot points are only explained if you play as Lucia. Dante is basically a side character in his own game, playing fetch for someone else's main story.
    Anyway, if you do play as Lucia you'll find out that Kingdom Hearts (Birth by Sleep specifically) basically ripped off DMC2's story.

    • @yamato63

    • @therealcyanman

    • @columbatiberius2176
      @columbatiberius2176 2 years ago +508

      @therealcyanman game spread across two discs and Lucia is Disc 2. Makes sense most people don't realise DMC2 is Lucia's story when they put in Disc 1 and don't wanna play any more when they finish with Dante. Though, 3 narrated by Lady, Nero the playable character driving the story in four and most of five (sharing the push in five with his dad). Dante's mostly a stylish side character once he's Awakened and defeated Mundus.

    • @zzodysseuszz
      @zzodysseuszz 2 years ago +90

      @therealcyanmankamiya probably made most of Lucia first before handing over the game to itsuno. I’d consider kamiya a better game designer than itsuno so that’s why I think Lucia ended up more enjoyable to play than Dante. Even tho the game is still boring as fuck

    Like another comment said, the plot points, or at least some of them, are explained in Lucia's campaign. But even after completing both characters campaign, you only get like 1/4 of a complete story, but it's also an incomplete story. Truly one of the games of all time.
    Also before I forget again, at the end of Lucia's campaign, the final cutscene shows her realizing the coin was actually a double-headed coin, which means Dante has been lying to himself and the others for the whole game.

    • @thatbluegamet

      ngl i played DMC2 and went through it going: “oh arius, is evil I have to kill him” the majority of the game. Literally until the last 5 missions, the game started to explain stuff, and by that point, I just thought: “ok, so this is just DMC1 again but instead of Mundas, it’s Elon Musk”

    Dmc2 was actually my first and got me into the franchise.
    I was at the end of middle school then, so I couldn't see it for it's flaws. You had a button that let you do flips and run along walls. I couldn't give less of a shit what the story was on about. You played as a Demon Hunter and could look cool doing it.
    So naturally, when I did get my hands on the first game in preparation for the 3rds release, I had a much better time.

It felt like it had Enter the Matrix mechanics. Like if ppl saw it more as "Dante is bored and doing a favor for a lil old lady that helped out pops" they wouldn't be bothered as much?

    @ZoeBateman 2 years ago +575

    there's only 2 good things about dmc2: the music is pretty good, and it's the game that introduced Dante's iconic "Rebellion" sword.
    otherwise, it's easily one of the worst gaming experiences I've ever had, and I literally thought to myself "I'm glad I never have to play another second of that" after finishing it. That's not a thought anyone should have about anything that's supposed to exist for entertainment, especially in a game series that is otherwise beloved.
    I've heard the story described as having the feel of "Dante just got back home from a 20 hour shift and realised he has no food in the apartment, so he has to force himself to leave and go get food". the stakes are so low and he has so little energy that this analogy honestly feels fitting

      I am not a fan of Rebellion and I have always resented that Alastor and Ifrit got cast to the wayside - especially when factor in that it originated from this pox upon the series!
      3 being a prequel of course needed new weapons and can be forgiven…

    • @bloodangel19

      ​@TMiles001 the rebellion had more narative impact tho, being the sister sword of the Yamato

    • @TMiles001
      @TMiles001 9 months ago +8

      ⁠​⁠@bloodangel19perhaps, but none of that was introduced until much later. There is no reason Alastor could not have been just as narratively significant if it wasn’t immediately discarded after the first game and never given a second thought…
      It certainly was not a consideration when they made dmc2.
      To me Alastor will always be Dante’s sword. It was cool as as hell. Had an epic introduction. And evidently was such a powerful enough weapon that it was a decided upgrade from Force Edge (which itself must be more powerful that Rebellion since it was his sword of preference at the start of DMC1 when he canonically would have had access to both).
      Rebellion in my eyes will always be the usurper of Alastor’s rightful place.

      I think when i played 2 what desire i had to finish it drained when i got to the main village again (as Dante) but i pushed through. I hated myself for it and beat it as the other protag. I beat all those games once and i still feel shame the most trophies i have for that trilogy are in 2.

      If you wanna get into Devil May Cry with training wheels, play DMC2. If you want the full experience, play 3 onwards, but if you want to be really challenged, play DMC1; it doesn't have the mechanics of its sequels and feels the most like a proof-of-concept.

    • @ThaBlackSwordsman
      @ThaBlackSwordsman Year ago +39

      The gameplay would be more tolerable if they didn't butcher the combo system. People don't even know that each sword Dante gets has unique combos but the game doesn't tell you how to do them, and the inputs are so jank that you just end up using the basic combo anyway.

    • @marikiri5119
      @marikiri5119 Year ago +30

      @weatherman1504 this game actually has the most ground moves for Dante. Fireworks, Rain Storm and Twosome Time make a debut here. Rebellion has 4 basic combos, depending on when you decide to push the left stick. Pressing YYYY is not the same as Y-forward-YYY, that's why the lock-on system is a bunch of crap.
      Also proper aerial melee makes a debu here. If you hold RB, push forward and press Y 3 times, Dante does two kicks in the air and slams the enemy with Helm Breaker. To this day, this combo has never appeared in any DMC game

    It's a shame the game was so butchered and patched together by final release cause you can see the skeleton of something truly cool.
    The extra acrobatics and expanded gun combat was great it's just a shame it's the only correct form of engagement.
    The soundtrack still manages to be good.
    Drip Dante is as alive as ever even if his character seems asleep at the wheel at times.
    Maijin DT was cool but the circumstances to use it really brought it down, I hope it comes back as a more conventional mechanic later down the line :^)
    Lucia deserves to be in a good DMC game so she can be a better character.

    • @CorneliusX13

      Majin technically does come back (almost frighteningly close to the same) in DMC 5 so, technically you are right lol But out of all the games, this was probably one of the coolest forms. Also this game paved the entire way for the stylish movement and acrobatic controls we got in DMC 3 not to mention I personally feel this was one of the coolest outfits Dante ever had, and such a shame how they rehashed and reused almost all of the other costumes in almost every single game, EXCEPT for this one. The only one that is consistently been modded and not officially brought over in a special version of any of the number series 😮‍💨🤦🤷
      Flight, give us some kind of DLC that gives us this costume or something! They included DMC1 Dante in the rebooted universe even (in the definitive Edition) So I hope like hell if they end up doing a sequel to the reboot, they include this costume as DLC or something. Damn it, I want drip Dante! Lol 🤦🎮🕹️💯

    • @AluminumFusion22
      @AluminumFusion22 Year ago +2

      Devil May Cry 2 has such a large emphasis on gunplay because Capcom overcorrected based on criticism the first game received; that it was too hard (it has its occasionally rough moments, but the game greatly rewards pacing yourself and looking for ideal openings, and once you realize it, the game opens up immediately) and that mixing gunplay with your primary weapon was too confusing. It doesn't help that the enemy AI is practically braindead; whether it was intentional or not doesn't matter.

    • @ThaBlackSwordsman
      @ThaBlackSwordsman Year ago +3

    I only had experience with the DMC series via my copy of DMC2 for PS2 that I got at SOME point in my younger years, i really don't remember when i got it, but my first memories of it are playing it around age 11. That would have been around 2004-2005.
    I loved it honestly. I never once payed attention to the story even a little bit, but some of the cutscenes were really cool with their visuals and then devil trigger was like a combination of Inuyasha and Dragonball Z to my young mind. I dont think ever made it more than an hour or 2 into the second disc, and then i completely dropped it. But by means of nostalgia, i appreciate it anyway. I played 3 some later on. Like 8 years later i think, and i liked it enough to play all of 2 missions (good game, just had way more games id rather have played) and actually i got DMC5 for my PS5 maybe a month ago... Ive got an hour in it... I havent played the series much if its not obvious by now, but i never knew part 2 was supposedly bad, its funny to me that since it was the only DMC game i put any real time in, i consider it the best by default

    Devil May Cry 2 had some good ideas (most of which were thankfully brought over to later games), and Lucia is a better character in Disc 2 than what she seems like in Disc 1.
    That said, yeah, pretty much everything you said is pretty much correct. It suffers in extreme amounts of poor execution. I do not envy the team that were practically forced to make the game, or Itsuno who had to go in and make it FUNCTIONAL (btw, this isn't the first time he ends up doing this in the franchise. The second time he did so was when the reboot was being made)
