I finally got around to playing this...game on the Devil May Cry HD Collection.
Before I begin, I actually love the Devil May Cry series. Devil May Cry 3 is one of my favorite games ever. I loved Devil May Cry 4 despite its design problems. I also really enjoyed the original Devil May Cry (even though I had issues with its platforming and camera angles). I also love Dante as a character (he's my main character I love to use in UMvC3). I was kind of skeptical with the new DmC game, but after playing the demo (which I enjoyed); I'm going to look forward to playing it whenever I get the chance.
I've kind of ignored this game until now mainly because I kept hearing...well, how bad it was lol. All I hear is how it’s easily the worst DMC game, how easy it was and how boring Dante is. Then again, I also hear how it’s “not a bad action game, but not a good DMC game,” mostly from a friend of mine who also loves DMC. Either way, I got the HD Collection for like $20, and hey, being the worst game in the franchise of good games can’t be THAT bad, right?
…
Yeah, I decided I had enough of the game at around mission 9.
Devil May Cry 2 is terrible.
There is so much pointless running around boring and pointlessly large environments that I spent most of the time playing this game moving around trying to go from one point to another than actually fighting any enemies in this “action” game. Of course, when you DO get to an enemy, combat is so unsatisfying that it felt like a chore rather than being, y’know, fun. Dante’s sword just lacks that satisfying punch that all the other DMC games have. Doesn’t really help the enemies were uninspired as hell too (infested chopper and tank? Really game?) The game is just way too easy, and not the, “well it’s easy, but least its fun” kind of easy (which was kind of like Devil May Cry 4 for me); it’s more like the, “ugh this is so boring, shoot me now” kind of easy. Devil May Cry wasn’t fun because it was hard; it was fun because it felt like a rush to play. Devil May Cry 2 is just sleep inducing.
Devil May Cry 2 isn’t just a bad DMC game; it’s a bad game period. Is the game completely bad with no redeeming qualities? Well, it has probably the best Dante design of the franchise (too bad he’s incredibly boring to play as), I thought the desperation Devil Trigger was kind of cool and uh, the next game in the franchise is awesome! I quickly checked a guide, and I’m apparently half way done with the game (there are 18 missions in total), but I am so sick of the game, I don’t think I ever want to touch it again. That said, I might go back to it sometime just for the sake of completing it…but I don't know.
Oh is there a second disc where I can play as Lucia? Yeah no, I'm never touching that unless somehow it's amazing which I doubt it is.
