Ironically, Dante in this video behaves perfectly in character. Dante would just walk through a street full of enemies like it's a relaxed stroll, or just stand in the middle of a group of demons while they miss him or don't dare to attack. Just to make fun of their ineffectiveness.
isnt this like after the 4th game too story wise? so kinda fitting that dante is super depressed and not wanting to have fun while fighting demon like his usual self after what happen in 4
Naruxos07 i can see that arius was a fucking cakewalk lmao. even at his "boss form" the real boss was argosax. argosax was the best boss in 2 hands down
People say this game is bad, but all i see is a game extremely ahead of it's time, they made the AI so smart that the enemies recognize Dante immediately and don't even try, truly groundbreaking
Developers were at least self aware enough about how mind numbing of an experience this was, in the novel series Dante was said to have been bored out of his skull during the events if this game
the first novel takes place before dmc 1, the second novel takes place before dmc 2, in none of those is he "bored out of his mind" he acts almost the same way as he does in dmc3 but not as wacky. so i dont know what you are talking about
For anyone getting into this series, ignore the people who tell you to skip DMC2. You don't have to beat it, but just play it long enough until you first consider blowing your brains out. And then play DMC3. It's such a satisfying experience going from the worst game in the series to one of the best. It'll make you appreciate DMC3 just that much more.
@@ihatemyself9458 the helicopter sums up the entire dmc2 experience, if you actually went forth and finished the game you would've had to buy 8 more controllers because your square button keeps breaking.
You know that SMT III Nocturne Dante is DMC2 Dante because he immediately goes for the "E and I" Attack instead of the "Rebellion" one when the first boss fight against him starts. Yeah, I stole that joke.

I think this is a very accurate representation of how dante sees his fights. We've never really understood how he would call out "too easy". With this game we really understand how he is always soo bored.
The thing that makes me so sad is that the game had loads of potential. It had varied locations, cool enemy designs, new combos and attacks that could’ve just been polished up more and they could’ve been great, the game introduced a lot of things to the series like the trickster moveset and elemental dt. But they just happened to not have enough time to make it good.
Reminder that after this dumpster fire Hideaki Itsuno didn't want to be remembered as "the guy who made DMC2" so instead of disappearing he just made DMC3 the coolest shit ever out of sheer force of will.
Actually, you might want to edit in that Hideaki Itsuno wasn't really the director of DMC2. He was only brought on board at the tail end of development (4 months left) to try to fix it. But can't really do much at that point. This was stated in the 3142 art book interview. He was surprised to see that he was credited as the director despite all that, and thus where the "didn't want to be known as the dmc2 guy..." quote came from. Just letting you know since not a lot of people know that.
When I speak to older friends (and my brother) about DMC, they always say this was an amazing game, and no one said it was sh1t. No one read reviews or others opinions online because it was hard to use internet at that time, so they just asked friends when they could. Maybe those who played this game then understood more what it innovated because it could only be compared to DMC1 and other games of that time. All those (unlisted) combos with the sword which culminated in shotgun attacks, or the wall-walk, the usage of guns pointed in different directions, or the fact you feel a lot free with movements, these things were novelties for action games. And Dante's outfits were incredible. You had also 3 characters to use and, despite the lack of depth in gameplay, people loved extras for the sake of it. Not saying this game being good, but that the perception people had of this game was different due to a lot of factors.
Okay. Im calling bullshit lol The game still sucks. People called this game out for being shit back then too. Buddy, you and your friends had a good time, and that’s good. Nobody else did. Good on ya.
@@BriefDark I literally wrote: "not saying this game being good". I just said a lot of this game's mechanics are actually part of the sequels we liked, and for this reason perception can change from person to person despite it being a bad game. Read better next time.
@@brando_duurie Most of what you pointed out is bull crap. Don’t even try. For example. Unlisted combos. Combos were also in the first game. The 2nd completely ruined the combo system, by making you flick the analog sticks, as well as time your presses. And having them be unlisted makes that even worse. You’re most likely just going to be doing the same 4 hit combo the entire game. But, I guess it’s subjective. But seeing as the games went back to DMC1s style of combat for the rest of the series…Yeah…That’s a moot point.. The wall run, I’ll give you. It’s a really cool, and good addition. Having guns point in different directions? What? Dude, that’s just auto aim. The guns pointing is just for visual. Literally all of these games have it. A lot of free movements…yeah, because these stages are literally fucking empty. Act like you don’t have plenty of room to move around in the others. That’s not a plus. The extra characters, I guess. If you want to be technical, there were different costume options in 1. But, to your credit, Dante and Lucia have different movesets. Congratulations. Have a cookie. 🍪 Later.
Most won’t say it, but DMC2 had elements in its gameplay that laid the groundwork for future elements of games afterwards (gunslinger style, sin devil trigger, etc).

@@fernie-fernandez Like I know she's got a good campaign, but by the end of Dante's campaign, I was so fed up with the blandness of the story, that I just didn't want to repeat it all
Dark Souls did the same thing when it first came out when it advertised it was from the same studio that made Demon's Souls, except Demon's Souls was actually really good.
I can remember my dad coming home from work and surprising me with this. I had no idea it was coming out and was hyped. Once I started playing though, that hype quickly disappeared lol.
@Marcus B hahaha my brothers said me someday "the hitboxes in DS are like the ones from classic monster hunter games, especially compared with the plesioth" xD
its actually like 4 hours long, yeah everybody loves the meme of just using your guns but if you use your sword you can kill the bosses rather quickly, what sucks ass is that there are certain bosses that attack way to fast and dante attacks really slow with his sword so you are forced to shoot them but thats only like 3 bosses, the rest of the bosses can be killed with your sword. this isnt me deffending the game though, it does indeed suck balls
Shew I'm going through this one right now myself. This video is accurate in it's portrayal of fun and excitement as well as engaging combat. Thank you for showing what I had waiting for me.
MisterMelvinheimer SHUT UP BENNY! Also yeah me too, I feel tho as in my game they actually werent mentally retarded and actually landed hits and acted like an enemy was supposed to.
@@TheArnoldification it had great design in terms of level details and enemy variety. but there were lots of problems with combat, most notably the guns being able to win anything easily.

REMINDER: Hideaki Itsuno was brought onto the game with only 4 months left of development time because NOTHING was getting done and that needed to change. The scenario hadn't been written. The cutscenes had yet to be shot. They hadn't decided what to do about Dante's Devil Trigger yet. They only made the Stinger attack but none of the other attacks had been worked on at all. Its nothing short of a damn miracle this game came out at all. Itsuno essentially made this entire thing out of literal broken scraps in just 4 short months. This complete failure of a game is not at all his fault. IT WAS his motivation for mating Devil May Cry 3 however. He drove straight in with a "Lets do this right." attitude. He did not want to be remembered as "The guy who made Devil May Cry 2."
@@ChipJones421 What diligence? the game is terrible and the whole "He did not want to be remembered as "The guy who made Devil May Cry 2" narrative is made up by people who know shit what they are talking about.

"He did not want to be remembered as "The guy who made Devil May Cry 2" That's bullshit dude. The guy was just surprised to be credited as director for DMC 2
@@joaomarcocardoso8198 yeah, there are plenty of fans. The art style was great, outfit was great, wall jumping and matrix dodges felt smooth, enemies and bosses had sick designs, lonely atmosphere felt oppressive and intense even though the game was fairly easy. It didn't rehash the first game which is another plus. Offers some mindless fun when I don't feel like the exploration of 1 and the insane difficulty of 3. A nice addition to OG trilogy
Thia was my first DMC game. I have a soft spot for it . At the time the only con I could think of was the camera. It didn't stop me from enjoying and replaying the hell out of this game.
it must be. it MUST be because of the super best friends recent DMC marathon and them skipping 2 and actually having a goof with the begging of 2 looking exactly like the first 30 seconds of this video. its the same joke
「Scary Boi」and 『SCARY MONSTERS』you see dmc happens in the future therefore Dante is an old man and he is too old to do his cool moves before so he has only one sword combo and he can shoot gun.
I feel like standing there actually makes this game easier. Like those wolves that keep missing, if you move around trying to dodge them they're way more likely to hit you. Seems like most enemies/bosses in general are like that in DMC2.
I actually love this game. DMD mode was challenging especially on bosses like trismagia. Dante had an ultimate demon form for the first time if you transformed while having red health and it was the coolest thing ever. It also had 2 ultimate attacks one dark/light explosion and a continuous dark/light beam. 4 wings and laser swords and stuff! Pretty cool actually. It also had the most difficult bloody palace mode, it would get you to a room with 3 or 4 bosses at the the same time with DT!!! That is veeeeeery hard. The gameplay was kinda slow sadly... Also i loved the SMG weapons. The worst thing about this game it's that it doesn't have infinite DT even after clearing everything.
Honestly DMD is way too easy, compared to DMC 1. Item prices do not go up, and the bosses do pitiful damage. You can still cheese the game by running past enemies and using shotgun/launcher.

Exactly. That's why I liked it. My guns actually felt effective in this game.
I think we just discovered what a Pacifist DMC run looks like.
I don't think shooting your enemy into oblivion while standing there unfazed with enemy attack count as pacifists....
The fact that the game ends on a Gunshot 💀
Reminder that after this dumpster fire Hideaki Itsuno didn't want to be remembered as "the guy who made DMC2" so instead of disappearing he just made DMC3 the coolest shit ever out of sheer force of will.
Love your channel
Thanks wikipedia I never knew that. What's next, You gonna tell us Mario 2 in the US was originally Doki Doki panic in Japan.
Actually, you might want to edit in that Hideaki Itsuno wasn't really the director of DMC2. He was only brought on board at the tail end of development (4 months left) to try to fix it. But can't really do much at that point. This was stated in the 3142 art book interview. He was surprised to see that he was credited as the director despite all that, and thus where the "didn't want to be known as the dmc2 guy..." quote came from. Just letting you know since not a lot of people know that.
He was motivated.

Just that it was the greatest game ever made.

6:12 = one of the saddest thing I ever saw.
When I speak to older friends (and my brother) about DMC, they always say this was an amazing game, and no one said it was sh1t.
No one read reviews or others opinions online because it was hard to use internet at that time, so they just asked friends when they could.
Maybe those who played this game then understood more what it innovated because it could only be compared to DMC1 and other games of that time. All those (unlisted) combos with the sword which culminated in shotgun attacks, or the wall-walk, the usage of guns pointed in different directions, or the fact you feel a lot free with movements, these things were novelties for action games. And Dante's outfits were incredible. You had also 3 characters to use and, despite the lack of depth in gameplay, people loved extras for the sake of it.
Not saying this game being good, but that the perception people had of this game was different due to a lot of factors.
The best comment so far about this vid, true.
Also, reviews were positive at the time. Consensus was that DMC1 was a 9 and 2 was a solid 7.5
Okay. Im calling bullshit lol The game still sucks. People called this game out for being shit back then too. Buddy, you and your friends had a good time, and that’s good. Nobody else did. Good on ya.
@@BriefDark I literally wrote: "not saying this game being good". I just said a lot of this game's mechanics are actually part of the sequels we liked, and for this reason perception can change from person to person despite it being a bad game. Read better next time.
@@brando_duurie Most of what you pointed out is bull crap. Don’t even try. For example.
Unlisted combos. Combos were also in the first game. The 2nd completely ruined the combo system, by making you flick the analog sticks, as well as time your presses. And having them be unlisted makes that even worse. You’re most likely just going to be doing the same 4 hit combo the entire game. But, I guess it’s subjective. But seeing as the games went back to DMC1s style of combat for the rest of the series…Yeah…That’s a moot point..
The wall run, I’ll give you. It’s a really cool, and good addition.
Having guns point in different directions? What? Dude, that’s just auto aim. The guns pointing is just for visual. Literally all of these games have it.
A lot of free movements…yeah, because these stages are literally fucking empty. Act like you don’t have plenty of room to move around in the others. That’s not a plus.
The extra characters, I guess. If you want to be technical, there were different costume options in 1. But, to your credit, Dante and Lucia have different movesets. Congratulations. Have a cookie. 🍪

Devil May Cry 2: Dante goes for a walk
A not very enthusiastic one.
Most won’t say it, but DMC2 had elements in its gameplay that laid the groundwork for future elements of games afterwards (gunslinger style, sin devil trigger, etc).
dante's mood went from let's rock to let's rot
Lets sleep
"Real videogamers don't skip Devil May Cry 2 ... But you'll wish you did."
5had0wThi3f “Real videogamer’s don’t skip Devil May Cry 2....but you’ll wish you did...play the game blindfolded cause that’s how badass you would’ve been.”
I played through Dante's story line, then didn't give enough of a fuck to play through Lucia's, and I regret every minute of this game
@@QueenOfChaos1312 You should've played Lucia...!
@@fernie-fernandez Like I know she's got a good campaign, but by the end of Dante's campaign, I was so fed up with the blandness of the story, that I just didn't want to repeat it all
@@QueenOfChaos1312 Well, I guess ignoring her "Angel Trigger" and skills was a bit sad...!
7:28 lmao when the chopper fell on you.
I think that summarizes how everyone felt about the game tbh
Same
And Dante still looks bored while it happens
I love how the the game case has to remind you that it is the "Sequel to the Smash Hit Devil May Cry"
Dark Souls did the same thing when it first came out when it advertised it was from the same studio that made Demon's Souls, except Demon's Souls was actually really good.
I can remember my dad coming home from work and surprising me with this. I had no idea it was coming out and was hyped. Once I started playing though, that hype quickly disappeared lol.
My condolences
Are you sure cause you were a kid you probably enjoyed it regardless
4:38. This attack just made me question every life decision I have made that lead me to witness such hit box placement.
Very accirate hitbox
I was like, "Bruh...."
Can't blame you, big guy's dumb as rocks
@Marcus B just git gud
@Marcus B hahaha my brothers said me someday "the hitboxes in DS are like the ones from classic monster hunter games, especially compared with the plesioth" xD
- "We need to make the game longer"
- "What if we add 30 different health bars"
- "You're a genius, Skilkens"
Ok
@@kirbyleeditko9922 ok
its actually like 4 hours long, yeah everybody loves the meme of just using your guns but if you use your sword you can kill the bosses rather quickly, what sucks ass is that there are certain bosses that attack way to fast and dante attacks really slow with his sword so you are forced to shoot them but thats only like 3 bosses, the rest of the bosses can be killed with your sword.
this isnt me deffending the game though, it does indeed suck balls
Shew I'm going through this one right now myself. This video is accurate in it's portrayal of fun and excitement as well as engaging combat. Thank you for showing what I had waiting for me.
9:15 - Dante pointing Ebony and Ivory at the monster looks so ironical here
Turns out i played DMC 2 wrong the entire time.
i feel the same way
The game was rigged from the start
MisterMelvinheimer SHUT UP BENNY! Also yeah me too, I feel tho as in my game they actually werent mentally retarded and actually landed hits and acted like an enemy was supposed to.
@@akumabazooka9169 It's because you thought they would be and tried to dodge, going right into their attacks.
Ah, the demon's only weakness... walking away at a leisurely pace.

This takes the "unflinching badass" trope to a whole new level.
He just seems bored
Then again, Dante *is* supposed to be a seasoned demon hunter. So it makes sense that it's easy... But, the developers made it TOO easy
More like the "untouchable GaryStu" trope tbh....
i legit though this was going to be a video about a man really trying to defend the game
I liked this game as a kid but I would not lift a finger to defend it lmao
@@TheArnoldification it had great design in terms of level details and enemy variety. but there were lots of problems with combat, most notably the guns being able to win anything easily.
Was it not defended in the video??
@@TheShizzlemop I just remember devil trigger being so broken that it annihilated everything easily. Even in boss fights you just drain their health away quickly, and having devil stars was icing on the cake
Lol got the DMC HD after beating DMC5 10xs... DMC1 is honestly so good that was the prime of capcom
I had no idea you could cheese the entire game like that XD - i wish i could play it again to do this hahahaha

REMINDER: Hideaki Itsuno was brought onto the game with only 4 months left of development time because NOTHING was getting done and that needed to change.
The scenario hadn't been written.
The cutscenes had yet to be shot.
They hadn't decided what to do about Dante's Devil Trigger yet.
They only made the Stinger attack but none of the other attacks had been worked on at all.
Its nothing short of a damn miracle this game came out at all.
Itsuno essentially made this entire thing out of literal broken scraps in just 4 short months. This complete failure of a game is not at all his fault. IT WAS his motivation for mating Devil May Cry 3 however. He drove straight in with a "Lets do this right." attitude. He did not want to be remembered as "The guy who made Devil May Cry 2."
The issue here is that this channel is devoted to nothing but blind distaste without due diligence.
@@ChipJones421 What diligence? the game is terrible and the whole "He did not want to be remembered as "The guy who made Devil May Cry 2" narrative is made up by people who know shit what they are talking about. You can read interviews of Itsuno's talking about how surprised he was to know he was credited as a director for DMC2
"He did not want to be remembered as "The guy who made Devil May Cry 2" That's bullshit dude. The guy was just surprised to be credited as director for DMC 2
@@tomstonemale Maybe he made up being surprised out of embarassment?
@@thepainkiller4939 Not really. For a newcomer to be called a Director in four months it's pretty rare in Japan

As a fan of DMC2, i found this absolutely hilarious.
Omg do you even exist??
@@joaomarcocardoso8198 yeah, there are plenty of fans. The art style was great, outfit was great, wall jumping and matrix dodges felt smooth, enemies and bosses had sick designs, lonely atmosphere felt oppressive and intense even though the game was fairly easy. It didn't rehash the first game which is another plus. Offers some mindless fun when I don't feel like the exploration of 1 and the insane difficulty of 3. A nice addition to OG trilogy
I think I took more damage because I actually thought these enemies were a threat and, in overthinking it, dodged into their attacks
I ended up ragequitting over that boss with 2 dogs many times, knowing you can just safespot him is just salt in the wound.
you know what, me too
goodaaron Safe spot the whole game.. burn me with acid, pour salt on it, crispy chicken my whole damn arm. That's what this vid is

Thia was my first DMC game. I have a soft spot for it . At the time the only con I could think of was the camera. It didn't stop me from enjoying and replaying the hell out of this game.

lmao thank you
NOW I'M MOTIVATED to place my energy into any other activity in question besides this one.Nero you'll have to clean up this one
「Scary Boi」and 『SCARY MONSTERS』you see dmc happens in the future therefore Dante is an old man and he is too old to do his cool moves before so he has only one sword combo and he can shoot gun.
Wow I can feel my soul getting sucked out just watching you play
I feel like standing there actually makes this game easier. Like those wolves that keep missing, if you move around trying to dodge them they're way more likely to hit you. Seems like most enemies/bosses in general are like that in DMC2.
Enemies: *swiping* *hands* *aggressively* *with* *murderous* *intensions*

@@michaelk9279 holy shit😂😂😂
I actually love this game. DMD mode was challenging especially on bosses like trismagia. Dante had an ultimate demon form for the first time if you transformed while having red health and it was the coolest thing ever. It also had 2 ultimate attacks one dark/light explosion and a continuous dark/light beam. 4 wings and laser swords and stuff! Pretty cool actually. It also had the most difficult bloody palace mode, it would get you to a room with 3 or 4 bosses at the the same time with DT!!! That is veeeeeery hard. The gameplay was kinda slow sadly... Also i loved the SMG weapons. The worst thing about this game it's that it doesn't have infinite DT even after clearing everything.
Honestly DMD is way too easy, compared to DMC 1. Item prices do not go up, and the bosses do pitiful damage. You can still cheese the game by running past enemies and using shotgun/launcher.
@@zoroken2946 idk, at least in hd collection on pc prices do go up to the cost cap and then stay there, like any other dmc game
there is an infinite dt code you can preform, but it only works AFTER you beat Must Die mode
