The game is Devil May Cry 2 developed by Capcom and released January 25, 2003.
#Devilmaycry #gaming - Hry
The best thing about DMC2 is that it forced Capcom to course correct into DMC3.
So single handedly, DMC2 made DMC3.
Tbh dmc2 was not that bad for me.
the greatest mistake was the base for the best game
Okay DMC3 purist LMAOOOOOO
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.
@@TheMilhouseExperience
Man do i love old men being immature.
Okay but let’s make this clear…. Dante’s one liner “king huh? Here’s your crown” then shoots the guy is the most GANGSTER shit
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
“Here’s your crown”, then he proceeds to shoot him in the chest.
@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.
Crowned him like a Witch in L4D2
@@reptiliannoizezz.413 for real my guy 😂😂😂
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.
It's a good thing they don't make Dante side character again... right?
That's so weird, you'd think they'd know most people would choose Dante first.
@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.
@@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
@@zzodysseuszzKamiya had no involvement in DMC2
Also id like to mention that if you put all dante's lines together into one video, in total he has 1 minute and 34 seconds of dialouge in the entire game
Wow... I knew he didn't talk much here but literally less than 2 minutes of dialogue in his own game, this devil refuses to cry.
@@darkblasterzero4067Devil may never speak unless necessary
^ **passes out from reading that information**
Should have called it Devil May Speak.

I've seen a lot of informative elevator rants in my day, but this is top tier.
I remember starting DMC2 thinking "it can't be that bad", but then I saw the upgrade menu and thought"oh god no". Halfway through I just wanted to toss my controller. At the end, I didn't even feel a sense of accomplishment, just... emptiness. Truly a game/of all time.
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.
Dramaqueen
2 isnt the worst game Ive played but good lord all of the worst aspects of the game really add up to make this game a such a slog to go through, by the end of it I felt so drained. I daresay that getting through this game with both characters earns you a weird sort of bragging right
Skill issue
It's pretty clear that the entire environments are to be dead and well it explains Dante's control over his DT Guage and has the Majin DT.
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.
Why was it double sided if he rigged it so he will always lose why not just say “Yeah I’ll help” why flip a coin in the first place?
@@thatbluegametto look cool and mysterious
@@TheGintama86tbh that's totally in character for him lmfaooo
@@lawz7787fr😂😂😂
1/4 of a complete story AND incomplete?? by the gods!
That elevator lecture was more interesting then the entire game.
Dmc2 was my first devil may cry and as a kid i loved it cause it reminded me of resident evil only i had unlimited bullets
The evade mechanic in this game is awesome. When you have barely any HP and turn to devil form you will become Sparda and sending devastating beams.
I recently decided to achievement hunt all 99 achievements in the DMC HD collection. This includes DMC2. I am now on house arrest for how fucking insane I am after 100% this horrible game.
What was the most difficult achievement for you?
I have to know, did you get the bloody palace achievement legit, or did you use the trick?
@@jiovanirivera852 Getting all upgraded arsenals as Luncia. Holy shit have I never hated a video game making me grind currency more than DMC2 in my life.
@@boicer11 Did not cheat a thing. I need to go to therapy after those achievements especially.
@@BigMansCams damn, Legend right here. I used the infinite dt trish trick for the bloody palace achievement myself.
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.
This is basically my experience too lol 8th grade I got it from a target in their budget games section so my dad bought it for me. I liked it back then, but it only made 1 so much better when I got my hands on it next
@@kyledodson2992looking back at it now, what do you think?
@@deepflare1028 it’s meh. I still played it again with the HD collection and I Will probably play it again. Again, most of it is just nostalgia, but it’s an ok action game for what’s it worth
@@kyledodson2992 Yeah, I should skip it in that case. I got bored after the 1st mission anywah
I was in the 10th grade and I loved it; like I remember thinking "I wish there were more cutscenes" but god did I love the dedicated dodge button that did flips and wall runs. 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? Idk but the game is like 90% Vibes and Aesthetics
Dmc 1 and 2 ARE worth playing. After the first two, the hype and anticipation for the third game ABSOLUTELY pays off. Very cathartic.
Fr after I finished dmc2 and went straight to 3, it felt like night and day
Pls dont lump Dmc 1 and 2 in the same boat. One is an actually good game
Don't lump DMC1 and DMC2 into the same boat. DMC1 is like an 7/10 while DMC2 is like a -8/10
@youknowwhattodo-pz8ex DMC 2 is the Nickelback of the series, fun to sheep and say "haha bad"
you are making it sound as if dmc 1 was bad (which is not)
Honestly this game's soundtrack is WAY better than you'd expect considering the development hell it went through
(10:34 ignore Arius breaking down, just listen to the music)
i agree that the themes atmosphere and ost has some interesting pieces. at this time period a lot of japanease media was set on using european architecture and cathedrals as setting for demonic or evil themes like the anime monster or devil may cry 1. the gameplay and story suck but dante's design and the neo gothic atmosphere is nostalgic
That song is called Chaotic Gloria if anyone is wondering
@@ldkWhatToWriteHere yeah, see? even the name goes hard
Real Men don't skip DMC2
Now DMC3, go go go, THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR (YES, THIS IS A REFERENCE)
... and Dante's coin was double-headed all along
Hello there!
I have massive anxiety about being in elevators and that small bit giving elevator facts about their safety was actual very comforting! Thanks for that!
One thing I like about this game is Dante’s outfit. I love the deep red color and twin tailed trench coat design
Ohh boy can't wait for DMC 3, very fond memories of that one
Thank you for spending time on the exploding house.
That shit is literally so funny to me, it makes no sense, isn't explained, and is never mentioned again.
Also gotta love how Dante teleports into Arius office, defeats him, jumps out the window with Lucia and then flies across half the globe for some reason, with the next three missions having you returning to the exact room you were just in
(the story stuff is in Lucia's campaign I think. Her being created by Arius (so she's basically Trish 2), but eh)
Woa woa there cowboy don't you DARE disrespect my girl Trish like that! Plus, This literally was the only game (until DMC4SE) that you were actually able to play as her! Lady was technically the only special edition to 4SE (which I was so so excited for) since shes technically a port-over (with additional moveset ofc) from this game! It's crazy to think lol
And if you want even deeper lore, "sin devil trigger" (or SDT) from 5 is so dam close to Majin. Only real big difference is the awesome elbow needles, but basically the same concept, right down to a similar design too. Like they brought back Majin but injected it with awesomeness and gave it a refillable bar 🤭🤦🎮💯
I thought the explosion was mildly explained? Wasn't it something like they were trying to kill the last protector of the island/ritual item things? I swear it was mentioned, unless I know this because I've also read like all dmc novels etc or something.
Side note, it's not like dmc1 had much dialogue or cut scenes or story either lol
@@Cornelius9013 Sorry but I really don't like Trish.
I think her story is incredibly underwritten and she hasn't been allowed to do hardly anything interesting so far.
The fact that her movesets in both in 2 and 4SE (Granted, I haven't played her in 2 before) are 95% just reused Dante animations doesn't help.
Especially since Sparda had such interesting potential, but it literally never got to be anything much more than a minor animation flourish on stuff like million stab and round trip. Playable Trish was the place to expand on it and come up with something unique that uses the transforming stuff, but they just didn't, and now the Sparda sword is all gone cuz of DSD.
It's really lame.
And I know about Majin of course. It's cool. Needless to say though, I think Sin DT is way cooler, and the way it is activated and controls is much better handled.
All the good ideas 2 introduced to the series I am grateful for
@@boicer11 It might have been some kinda supplementary material, cuz I am pretty sure granny just goes "they really made a big mess, didn't they?" and then it wasn't acknowledged any further.
And I guess you're maybe right, but the way in which it happens it still so hilariously random and out of nowhere.
Agreed on 1's lack of an actual narrative btw. I don't think any DMC besides 3 has much of a worthwhile story lol. Love the games tho
@DestinySpider yeah idk i have a bunch of random jumbled dmc info from when I played them all and read all the extra stuff i could find. Maybe it was even from playing Lucia's side of the story. I just remember having a better understanding of DMC2 than people here are saying, but I don't remember how lol.
Yeah, they all have issues with story. Even DMC5 explains like nothing of a certain character returning (trying to be vague in case people still really don't know and would be mad at me about a spoiler) but then sort of explains some stuff with a tie in manga.
But agreed love them and the gameplay anyways. Even DMC2 has a special place for me.
dmc 2 was actually fun, just a bit different. I liked that you could combine different bits of the amulet to mix and match different play-styles. Also the running up walls and dodge functions made you feel like a badass - the crazy part in this game is the bloody palace, practically only beatable with Trish
Everybody told him not to play dmc2 he didn't listen.
He is just doing for fun, let him be.....
5:44 you have triggered a deep trauma in my mind with this part of the 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.
"King? Yeah... Here's your crown" Mah boy finally woke up!
I'm looking forward to your DMC 3 video because boooooy is there a lot to unpack with it.
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 🤦🎮🕹️💯
I got into the series without knowing anything, and I actually loved the movement in this game. Though incredibly incomplete, I definitely enjoyed this game 😁
that coin in the start of the game Arius wants it and other objects to become more powerful and dante and lucia gathered them before arius gets them all also there was a underground stairs beneath the house that's how the old lady survived and u can see her waking up the stairs
strangely i enjoyed this game
DMC2 was the game that taught me to always wait for reviews, even if the game is a sequel to a game you absolutely loved. The best part is that the secret character Trish, who just has the the DMC1 moveset ported to her, is the most fun part of the game. Could've just went with that again!
DMC 2 introduced me to the world of Dante so no matter what it’s in my heart
This game gave us Desperation Devil Trigger, the ultimate devil trigger of all devil triggers.
I know most of people hate 2 cause the poor story and gameplay and i totally agree they did fcked up in it but seeing Dante depressed and serious is something rare actually cause 2 takes event after he released he k*lled his brother for real this time and that trauma haunted him to the point he stopped mocking enemies and bosses and just finish them off
So best thing so far in this game for me
Dante's personality and clothes
And final Boss Argosax he really made me try
Hey, I made into the video. I feel so fulfilled.
I'm glad you played this game instead of skipping it like a bunch of other content creators do, it's definitely the worst devil may cry and has problems but I like it and enjoy it and I feel like it gets shit on more than it really deserves
I live for your videos, this is what I look forward to every single day anticipating an upload
Honestly i love dmc 2 alot it was my fav tbh i think its the personality change makes sence considerin this is right after his brothers death n hes in his 30s
It was my first dmc game, I was eight at the time, and totally fucking loved it. It got me into hack and slash games. I have since developed more taste, but it's still awesome.
Thats the age I was when I enjoyed it 2 😂
Say what you will about DMC 2... one thing is for sure though, THIS IS THE BEST LOOKING DANTE TO DATE. The best design EVER.
Agreed, that's like one of the 3 things I like about this game.
1) Dante's 2 Drip
2) The Soundtrack
3) It lead to DMC3
TBH, I prefer 2 to 3 in general.
I actually like DMC4 Dante design
You know i also did not heed the warnings and played dmc2. So I can say that you really did condense the experience beautifully. Every important bit is here, namely the incredible voice acting
Me personally i like how running up the walls and shooting the guns and being upside down with it.
I actually liked 2. Dante's look in 2 is my favorite as well.
This video is one of the best parts of my playthrough of DMC2 years ago!
DMC 2 had the best visual design for Dante I think tho. He’s really cool lookin. That’s why I got it lol.
Arius’s lines and voice acting are hilarious.
As bad as this game was i really liked Lucia and she could have been better if they actually had ppl knowing what they were doing at the start, as for Arius he little cry at 10:34 has always lived rent free in my head since back then. Id really love to see him Remake this game and bring Lucia back and better
Man I loved all of them and I will forever be a die hard DMC player ever. The third was very nice especially when you put a code in to have unlimited demon time.
DMC2 really was the blueprint for where Itsuno went with the franchise.
"The seconed game bit me in the ballz and killed my dog"☠
Vergil is messaging you now
Play DMC3 so you can feel the motivation and make sure you wouldn't get easy mode
Thanks for playing DMc2 for me. My health and family sure appreciated me being around longer.
I got in at DMC2, because DMC3 wasn't out yet, and I liked paying 1 at my friend's house. It was fine. My favourite is still the spin off DmC (2013) though. Strong concept, great level design, solid character design, awesome soundtrack. It had it all.
I couldn't find this video even after searching for it. I thought this video didn't exist until CZcams recommended it to me accidentally I presume
The elevator music playing, while you prattled on about elevators, while also, I got to watch Dante deal with elevator arena portion of the game, earned you a sub.
Really interesting that while I watch these videos I get a steam notification to say that the collection is on sale
Had to like the video after that elegant and informative section on elevators. Bravo sir.
Thanks to your video, i finally know, where rebelion sword came from.
I just love how the game looks. I see it every time I play it, and it’s like “yep this is definitely an early PS2 game.”
I don’t think it actually was, but like, graphically, it’s there. lol
We Definitely need a complete Remake of DMC 2 with a Few DMC1 to DMC3 fixes.
the amount of pain in order to finish the story still hunts me
man makes devil may cry content instant subbed :p
i love your video, you deserve more subscribers.
The quality of these videos is insane for not many subscribers
I absolutely amazed that i found this gem of a channel ❤...now make dmc 3 please
Thank you for your service
One of the games of all time
WELCOME TO THE DEVIL MAY CRY FRANCHISEi hope you'll enjoy your stay in our little party cause youre going in a crazy one that you never want to end enjoy your stay
I’m not sure what you were going for here but I’ve never wanted to play a game more in my life
if you play Lucia's campaign you find out the coin was a double headed
And other plot holes. You get the full story if you play both discs
waiting patiently for your dmc3 video >:)
cyan man, you MUST play DMC3. It's a divine game
"Your hate for me is DIVINE."
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)
I will never forget when my bro came home with dmc2 and I was in shock at how much it sucked because I loved the first game.
I like part 2 more
why was i getting asmr from the elevator thing
Playing this game was like a fever dream. Only thing I remember was that all you had to do was spam your guns and you basically can clear the entire game that way
Anyone: "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed."
Me: "Really? Because I'm fucking livid."
the most fuckerd up part is that DMC2 was my first DMC game because as a kid I couldnt find dmc3 anywhere
Confused,does not compute, error.
And he never even found Majin Devil Trigger.
“ I’m not upset, I’m disappointed”. Best line of commentary 😂😂😂
Dmc2 is the first game I beat like period, and I love it, it’s matrix af.
Can any of you people imagine, this was the first game of the series I played and it was someone else's save file where they were at the helicopter boss, and I witnessed the building demon cutscene before it crashed for some reason.
Ok but the plane is actually hilarious and i think it wouldve worked so much better in another game lol
True gamers don't skip Devil May Cry 2.
Yes we do. Sh*t was trash. True gamers call a spade a spade even if it hurts to say it or not mention it at all.
Every time someone mentions DMC 2 the clip where Vinny Vinesauce says using the Capussi voice “DeeEhmSee Too is the best gayam Do te is the best” plays in my head. If you are a Vinny vinesauce enjoyer then you know which one
Sloths are really strong swimmers though!
Those elevator facts were genuinely interesting, btw
The outfit freaking lit
It needed to take pages from the jojo's bizarre adventure series to be good, we now know this as devil may cry 3
Dmc2 is what under the mayo thinks gameplay in stylish games should be
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 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
I actually like DmC 2.
It was fun playing as a kid.
Blazing my guns.
Easy combos.
Feeling like a badass!!!
11:55 clearly, the demon possessed the knowledge that it was in DMC2 and chose death
infested chopper my beloved 🥰
i remember beating dmc2 but no idea what the story or that chick were all about. i like the fact that you got a lot of skill without unlocking them like double jump.
Ok, but the “here’s your crown” line was actually pretty cool.
DMC2 was the first game I ever played of the series
I enjoyed it 😅
Back As a kid it was a gun game thanks capcom 😢
Here for the DMC journey
Dmc 2 deserve a remake
It broke me, that's for sure...
