    [DMC2 Pros and Cons]
    *Pros*
    -Dante looks badass
    -Music is Badass
    -Some of the Demon designs look cool, despite their A.I mostly being Brain Dead, besides the Final Boss
    -Lucia is a cool character, at least conceptually (Love her Devil Trigger design)

    @firerath 5 років тому +263

    Here’s the thing about difficulty in Devil May Cry: the games aren’t supposed to be one and done games. Your encouraged to retry the game on a harder difficulty in order to challenge what you learned on lower difficulty and teach you new things, such as using Devil Trigger wisely and not to rely on items, and using items lowers your overall score. Even some of the bosses change, getting new attacks and abilities rather than just upping the damage. The reason your started with normal, or devil hunter, difficulty is to give you a starting point that you can work from. The difficulty you’re supposed to conquer is Dante Must Die, which is the full experience of the game. For example, in DMC1 Dante Must Die stops devil trigger from healing you, and in DMC3 Vergil gets an all new, dangerous attack called “summoned swords” that forces you to completely rethink the fight.
    Don’t bother with that crap in DMC2 though. That crap doesn’t matter in DMC2.

    When you play DMC3 i'd recommend paying attention at the style meter. It might sound stupid, but it's a system that makes sure you have the most fun.
    In 1 and 2 it was poorly implemented, but in 3 by making you use as many moves as you can it makes you learn the mechanics so combat becomes flashy, fun and fast paced and getting SSS feels so good. Also, getting S rank at the end of the mission gives you a ton of red orbs, and with so many important upgrades you want them.

      Chri_C the game is bad though. I played it recently and it bored me to death. Removing skill moves/abilities that could be purchased with red orbs was dumb, as was removing different combos based on button press timing. Making the devil arms have the same move sets but just changing range and power just makes having different weapons pointless as you get nothing new. It’s also really bland to look at because they just decided to use browns, grays, and blacks as the color palette. The only thing I’ll give the game is Dante and Lucia’s designs and the amulet customization.

    I don't care what anyone says, Devil May Cry 2 is a guilty pleasure. Matter of fact, I think Devil May Cry 2 was the first Devil May Cry game I played.
    If I remember correctly, me and my parents were camping in the backyard of one of my dad's friends cause we were planning on going to a water park. The next morning, I was playing too close to the fire place, I tripped and felt in, luckily the fire was out long before it'd happened, but I fell hands first into broken glass bottles. It hurt, but luckily none of the broken glass dug into my hands. I went inside my dad's friend's house to clean up and heal, and then I saw two people playing a game. And like I said, I believe it was Devil May Cry 2. They saw me, and asked if I wanted to play it. I said sure, and I played that game until it was time to go. Granted, I didn't know what I was doing, as I didn't beat the level, but I did remember I was having fun with the game. And cut to years later, when I was at my local Wal-Mart, I found the Devil May Cry HD collection for my PS3, and I immediately bought it with my own money.

    As sub-par as this game is, there is one concept in this game that I hope would be expanded upon in later titles. That is the idea of the Devil Hearts. This concept was by far my favorite part of the game as it kind of consider it a precursor to the Blood Gems in Bloodborne. Each Heart has a unique effect on it that can make some interesting combinations if combined with other Hearts. This is a great idea because it gives a unique way to make bosses easier by having certain bosses have weaknesses to certain Hearts(Not just in more damage, but in dealing with movesets). It is a concept that makes you want to experiment with them and see which combination works better on certain bosses. The reason it did not work here is because of the same issue that plagues the game as a whole, Devil Trigger. Devil Trigger makes this concept go from being an interesting mechanic to a straight-up gimmick because there is no need to utilize them efficiently. Just spam it to win, game over. So as a whole, I love the idea of the Devil Hearts, and it could've made this game a lot more interesting if it was better executed.

    Same with the Infested Tank, since you fight multiple infested tanks, make the infestation stronger for each time you fight them, and have something to punish you for staying so close to it to exploit its weakness.

    I feel like it can’t be understated that using items because you don’t want to limit your options in a way is ironic based off the game’s design. I probably come off sounding like an arrogant asshole but the items are more or less a handicap for new players. While I understand how that the first two games don’t do a good job at conveying this (DMC1 having a very primitive way of measuring style and 2 being super easy), later games urge you more and more to not use them. The enemies become more aggressive as the series goes on and the bosses become more complex and punish simplistic play. This is where the improved style ranking comes in, which is a lot more specific in how well you vary attacks but also show you how well you are doing in raising it (which encourages you to be more stylish). Using items however resets it and lowers your overall score. The higher the ranking the higher the score and the more orbs you get. The more orbs you get the more you can spend on more moves. The more moves the more style potential etc etc. Sorry for the rant but i would really recommend you change how you approach this game as you move forward through the series. But all and all I’m really enjoying the new series and would love to see more videos from it.

      I completely agree with you. Items are a crutch and shouldn't be used unless you're really bad and want to just beat the game. I'm glad they're being removed in 5 cause they just took up space in the other games and enabled players to not get better.

Having said that, I really hope that if in the future, for whatever reason you need to take another extended break... I really hope that next time you will give SOME kind of heads up to your fans that you'll be taking some time off, even if it's just a ten second blurb at the end of a video or something. I think it will go a long way.
    I completely understand that life gets in the way of recreational pursuits sometimes as it does for all of us, but to all but abandon your UA-cam channel for almost a year without a single mention as to why or what was going on felt like you were giving me, a fan, a total shrug-off. I hope this doesn't come across as whiny, after all, I'm a huge fan of your UA-cam content. I'm just writing this as a fan, after seeing you disappear for such a long time, you begin to wonder if everything's okay, if you don't care for UA-cam anymore, etc. Anyways, this is too long a rant as it is, but basically: big fan of yours, and I hope to continue a fan for a long time. Keep up the good work!

  • @welcometovalhalla2884

    13:16 Playing DMC using items and not caring about the style ranking is like playing through the Souls games with summons. You can do it, it's not wrong because there's no wrong way of playing any game, but you won't be getting the most out of the games. That being said, I wouldn't blame you if you played half of Dark Souls 2 in co-op if you know what I'm saying. And this advise mostly applies to DMC3 and beyond anyways, since styles, the much bigger movesets and the ability to change weapons on the fly make it much more fun to actually try for high style ranks. It's also kinda difficult to know when you're going to rank up or down in 1 and 2 because you only have the rank title on screen, the style meter in DMC3 makes it a thousand times better.
    And about the harder difficulties, yes, they're better (well, haven't tried on DMC2 since decent bosses that happen to be too easy benefit from higher difficulty, but garbage bosses usually end up being even worse. I can't imagine fighting the chopper with even more health). But they're also basically the New Game + of these games. At the end of the day the devs know most people won't play past normal and are still designing these games with that in mind.
    Have fun with DMC3, if you haven't played you're in for one hell of a game. Pretty much everything you've complained about in these videos is solved there.

But I don't know how a game that allows you to cheese it with Devil Trigger is prepping you up for its hard mode.

    I always have an odd soft spot for DMC2. I know it's not good, but I don't think it's awful, far worse games out there. Plus once you know how the combo system works and figure out some of the hidden moves it can get quite fun and stylish (though Dante Must Die mode is just tedious than actually challenging in this game). As for the bosses, yeah most aren't great. Most are bad, and when they're bad they're awful, but some are decent and I find the top 3 to be a blast to fight. That being Argosax's final form, Nefasurris and Oranguerra are to me the best bosses in the game, Nefasturris being by far the best one. Which is kind of sad when your best boss is only 1/3 into the game.
