Devil May Cry 2 is one of the games ever.
Thanks to the Patreon and twitch supporters for keeping the channel alive :D - บันเทิง
Good to know that the best devil may cry game in 2003 was in fact Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne: Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.
@@Yurikon3 too bad with the remaster you have to pay to unlock him on the disc. Glad I still have my PS2 copy.
I approve of this message
@@Yurikon3 Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne would never take advantage of our innate gullibility
Devil May Cry: Nocturne
This is one of the few games that landed in "video game limbo" for me. It's absolutely unenjoyable, but so incredibly insignificant that I can't even call it bad. It's just a massive waste of time.
It's the sort of game that fails in pretty much everything that there's not much interesting to really talk about.
Let's just say it's not memorably bad the way something like Sonic 06 or Hunt Down The Freeman is.
this was my first devil may cry so I liked it lol
That's probably how I'd best describe my feeling when i beat dmc2 for the first time, especially when i realized i needed to beat it through again with Lucia, instantly just took it out of my xbox 360, just it in the case and went to do something else
but i like this Dante Character design, outfit and Hairstyle compared to DMC 5 Dante though
@@jensenraylight8011 DMC5 Dante is hard to compare because he's way older and in a more realistic artstyle
Devil May Cry 2, ironically, got two things right. The gun combat was the base for Gunslinger and it was the start of bloody palace.
And gave Dante his default weapon of choice for the every game afterwards: Rebellion
Also wallrunning for trickster
The good: Gunslinger moves, trickster moves, gun-switching, started bloody palace, level select, multiple playable characters, kind of had sin DT, cool character designs, multiple enemy types at once, maybe a couple of bosses
plus an amulet-like system to modify DT could have been used to make Quicksilver and Doppelganger more useful in 3 instead of taking away other styles
The bad: Everything else
Going to have to jump in and call you out here, if you just hold gun you will keep shooting till they die. All while they slowly rise into the air xD
Yeah GREAT gunslinger gameplay.
@@LockMatch I *completely* forgot you can run on walls, admittedly it's been 16 years since the last time I played DMC2.
So that's 3 good things, maybe 4 if you count Dante's design. If Capcom ever officially brings back that design it'll be a solid 4 good things DMC2 did.
Waiting through that countdown for a "No" was hilarious. Lmao😂
Might as well make "Was it Good? The Armenian Genocide" at this rate
I mean just reading the Title alone was an instant belly laugh for me
@@FKATorp Yeah but DMC2 is real, and unfortunately it exists.
At the time, there were 3D platformers like Mario 64, action adventures like Ocarina of Time, 3D fighting games like Virtua Fighter, 3D beat 'em ups like Dynamite cop (Die Hard Arcade), But with the introduction of Devil May Cry, a new genre of stylish action / character action / console action was newly established.
It was a time when Sega's Shinobi(2002), Konami's Castlevania (2003), FromSoftware's otogi (2002), Tecmo's ryger(2002) and ninja gaiden(2004), etc, laid the foundation for a new genre of console 3D action, influenced by dmc.
Nowadays, dmc2 gets a bad rap, but 2003, when dmc2 was released, was the dawn of this type of action game, so it may sound arrogant to say whatever you want by today's standards.
But it is true that dmc2 is the worst of these.
I like how Dante's personality is such a 180 from DMC1 that the game publishers made DMC3 a prequel to explain why.
When Dante anime is a good way to show his growth in DMC 4 personality
it was moreso the anime that explained why showing he was depressed
its all about getting up after the fall and capcom did it. after horrendous 2 they made the best game in the franchise, 3
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it Fun fact. The original director of DMC2 is unknown to this day, but after leaving and with the state the game was in, Itsuno was told by Capcom to steer the project and finish it before release. It's thanks to him that the game is in a playable state at all.
He's talked before in interviews about how he didn't want his legacy to be left as "the guy who worked on DMC2", so he directed DMC3 as a chance to set things straight and make something he can be proud of.
Spoiler alert: DMC3 is a pretty rad game that saved the franchise.
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it I think 5s better but 3s a close second
The best part about DMC2 is that it makes DMC3 one of the best comeback stories of all time
One DMC bombing for the follow up to be a redemption has been weirdly consistent, the same effectively occured with DmC into DMC5.
The funny thing is the whole meme of "Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series" is this Dante. They used this Dante in Lucifer's Call/Nocturne where the meme spawned from, right down to his outfit and looks to his coin flipping antics and if you have the knowledge that both sides of his coin are heads, you can easily win the coin toss to recruit him at a discount price by betting on heads.
I think I remember Nocturne Dante being a little more playful actually. So maybe they caught on from the backlash of how his personality in 2 was received.
Remember the Diesel ads using this Dante?
I mean, it is Dante's best design afterall.
@@leithaziz2716 I think not having voice acting leaves it up to interpretation. For me I read Dante's lines in Rueben's voice but I can easily imagine people reading with DMC2 Dante's voice.
The funniest thing is that there was a second round of the me when Dante from the Ninja Theory DMC started turning up in games.
It's always the lamest Dantes that get the crossovers.
I cannot believe someone is bothering. I'm not gonna defend this game but as someone who thoroughly beat almost every mode in a single night as a young lad, and then proceeded to hear people who never touched the game bash it to hell for the next 2 decades, I appreciate you coming along to actually play and analyse it, I'm sure it wasn't very engaging though so sorry about that 😂
I don’t love DMC2 but the hate it gets is not warranted. I think it was a stepping stone for DMC3 to be as good as it is.
hands down. worst game ive ever played. and as a disclaimer. i have no other life
@@nicolaiswordart4674 have you ever played ride to hell: retribution? Come back when you have.
@@nicolaiswordart4674 You need to play League then lol
Sonic 06 doctor jekyl and mr hyde tomb raider angels of darkness much worse options@@nicolaiswordart4674
Dante's outfit and Despair Embodied are the best parts of DMC2.
"Here's Your Crown" is also a legit badass line.
That's pretty much all I have to praise.
@@leithaziz2716 I did like how the fight ended with Despiar, your sword spinning in the air and Despair looking around confused.
I have always considered the Despair Embodied the closest thing this game ever came to use its gameplay design to the fullest. You have to shoot, you have to dodge, you have to hit, and it feels GOOD when the motions start going.
I was 12 or 13 when dmc came out. I was sold on it from an issue of game informer. DMC 2 broke my heart.
Dmc 2 was my introduction into the series. It was also one of my first game completions next to sonic. It got me into skillful games, so I enjoyed it for what it was. Like pac man adventures.
Didn't they call the game disappointing though?
Remember: Real gamers never skip DMC2
I'll cop to not being a real gamer then.
@@tenyokensekia8088 It's a reference to the crowbat video for DMC2 with the same name. Pretty funny video.
@@maxxam181 Oh ok!
evil business guys lines when he is juicing up are the best. especially when he says "Weeirrrreeghh" causing dante to get freaked out a little
Part of me hopes Lucia gets a return in a future game just to redeem her existence because damn they kinda did her dirty. Hopefully someday they can touch up her gameplay and put her in a new game even if it's as a bonus character.
I think she showed up in a DMC5 prequel comic where she hung out with Dante. But that was about it.
@@leithaziz2716not a comic! A novel that prequels before DMC5 by a few weeks/months that explains why Dante has Balrog and other small things.
She is mentioned there (in a cute crush way) but that was it for now.
@@Thaltas Neat. I want to read that now.
Yeah that would be so cool, the ladies were completely neglected in 5 so I hope they all get some action in the next game
Maybe a DLC expansion could have the ladies in it, there were rumours of a Ladies Night DLC for V as is
Honestly as much as I love him I'm tired of Vergil being a paid extra, he should just be part of the base game next time
dont forget the fact that in the novel dante actually has a lapse in memory of who lucia and matiere even are, and its actually explained that sparda had a hard time remembering the names of women he met
The greatest sin a piece of entertainment can commit is to be boring.
I mean, painting pedophilia as a good thing is worse than boring. Showing a real sexual assault and calling it amateur porn like PH did is also bad.
But yeah, boring is worse
@@JoshuaJacobs83 Wait who did WHAT now?
@@GorillaBorg Porn Hub was caught with videos of real rapes and underage girls. Took years before they took her rape video down. And that's one of many
@@JoshuaJacobs83 What. The fuck. Is wrong. With you.
Seriously. Do you need help? Are you okay?
@JoshuaJacobs83 Can we get a bit of context for this please? You can't just throw a comment like that out there with no explanation buddy...
Josh finally played DEE EEM CEE TOH in it's entirety before Vinyot ever finished his playthrough lol
"DAWNTAY AND GAWKOO BEST IN GAME!"
EET EES GUD GAM DONTE SHÜTS DEE GUNZ
You didn't mention that if you beat the game on DMD mode, you unlock Trish from the first game, who now wields Devil Sword Sparta as her primary weapon. She shares the same moves as Alistor, and her guns no longer causes enemies to rise into the air from continuous fire.
Its actually hard mode where you unlock Trish. DMD mode unlocks Dante's costume from the first game and the Secretary costume for Lucia.
Hey that magazine talked about Tenchu: Wraith of Heaven! That game ruled.
It got hate on later for some choices it made. I liked it.
The first Devil May Cry, was almost a metroidvania, with an mission based style. Which combines a small world, but still expanding what we can explore, they did the same in 3, you revisit some scenes giving the feeling of a contained world and scenery. It was lovely, I missed it really in Devil May Cry 4 and 5.
Devil May Cry 2 has the same theme as DmC Devil May Cry LOL.
Except DMC2 gave us prototypes of mechanics which will be used in DMC 3 and more importantly, The Rebellion sword, as Dante's signature weapon.
Devil May Cry 2 has done 9 things right:
1. Dante's outfit
2. Dante has probably the best jump/aerial movement in whole series
3. Ability to shoot at two different enemies at the same time which was in some way a start/basis for gunslinger style
4. Ability to dodge and wallrunning (which is not that useful but looks cool) with circle button
5. Ability to change weapons (only guns for some reason)
6. Aim lock (which if you want to stop aiming at enemy you have to hold L2 from what I remember which is VERY WIERD)
7. "King? Yeah, here's your crown"
8. Dante's DT looks the best in the whole series
9. Some music is really great (but other sucks so hard like f.e. JOKAGTULM or whatever the name was theme)
In lots of ways DMC 2 has been a bit of a Demo for abilities used later in DMC 3.
You can simply leave the 1st helicopter fight. The game doesn't tell you, but you can. Hitting helicopter in melee deals more damage if you hit the part with the parasite eye. You can also do hard lock-on to cancel out soft lock-on and make hitting switches easier.
Funny thing is that enemy AI is a little bit more awake on higher difficulties, which makes the game a little bit more fun to play.
Consider the fact the game doesn't have an Easy mode. So Normal is just Easy.
Ppl mostly play on normal and don't consider playing anymore of the game because of the difficulty, but literally hard and DMD are fun.
@@TGHunter Hard is definitely more fun, but the game overall is still quite awful. And some bosses on DMD are unfair/badly designed (Trismagia).
@@SpringRaid How is Trismagia unfair in DMD? Is just a fight where you dodge one phase well, then attack the next.
How is that bad?
I already did multiple runs without any upgrades in DMD and Trismagia was never a problem.
Most of the boss fights work so much better than any other DMC game, its just Heli, that spinning room, that Wasp and first phase of Argosax blob...
And that's better than multiple boring and annoying stuff from DMC1, 3 and 5.
Also, yea, Bolverk is a cool boss fight, but shit, that camera is wack in his first encounter.
Genuinely surprised this is even getting an episode I don’t think I’ve ever seen ANYONE defend this game or say it was any good at all.
I loved it. Like an arcade version of DMC I could just drop into without a massive time investment.
Going back to the collection and having gone back to play some old PS2 DMC-likes, I can safely say that even DMC2 is better than your average DMC-like from the PS2 era. So it'll be interesting to see what good Josh pulls out, *plus* all the history he can dig into.
Look into the comment section. Some people defend it unironically
@@guyincognito8437 What kind of brainrot do you have to consider playing any DMC game to be a "massive time investment"? How exactly does it feels like an "arcade" version of any DMC? DMC is already, by definition, arcady, it even has a style system. This isn't gran turismo versus burnout, DMC already is burnout.
This is just "hold square until enemy dies", it isn't any different from playing flappy bird.
@@devildante9 DMC1 was a time investment as it was difficult as fuck. I'm not saying it negatively, it's just a matter of fact. DMC2 I could play just whenever and it was easy and forgettable like an arcade game.
The only part I actually remember liking about this, as somebody who played both characters, was the ending where Dante flips the coin to decide who goes into Hell and it turns out to be a double headed coin so he was always going. It was a bit cheesy but still a fairly Dante thing to do. The rest was utter crap and I don't know how I played it all.
I still would like to know what the hell happened down there.
Your rant about the DMC bosses made me feel so good for having experienced it as a kid. ❤
"Was it good" and a new Noah Caldwell-Gervais video in the same day!? My birthday isn't until next week but I'll take this early gift
Mines next week too! Have a great one buddy!
Bruh I didn't even know Noah uploaded, and I have the "every video" bell notification turned on. Thanks!!!
Arius looks like a young Heihachi from Tekken with that hair
literally thought the same thing lol
He looks like a cursed mesh of Kazuya and Heihachi.
I would say Dante in Tekken could be a cool idea, but I think he'd fit better in Guilty Gear.

Lucia: "I do not deserve this power..."
Dante: 👁👄👁
What a strange cut to have with nothing for the focused character to offer. On brand for this game.
You can play as Trish and she has all the moves Dante had in DmC 1!
The dedication to actually GET THAT MAGAZINE is mindblowing... You sir, have earned a like, and this comment. May this channel grow until it eclipses the sun and we all wonder whether Josh the Smooth-talking shall devour existence itself with his retro reviews. Not a bad way to end it all, if one were to get the chance to choose.
Oh wow, now his channel is going to get famous from your one like and comment. I’ll alert the media
This game is genius. Dante is SO Powerful at this point in his career, that nothing poses a challenge to him. Capcom made a power fantasy, putting the player in Dante's Diesel Jeans.
To think I played this game on the PS2 in Dante Must Die difficulty (where your guns no longer properly juggle enemies), I was truly a masochist. I don't remember anything from the game compared to Devil May Cry 1, it must be my self preservation instinct kicking in for my own good.
Thank you Josh for your sacrifice on experiencing true suffering with us.
fun fact, you can actually get through the timed gate with out the quick heart.
Since rolling is slightly faster than walking, thus making the quick heart truly useless
3D Zelda rules? Roll to the goal!
"whenever you're having fun, take a shot"
Every alcoholic: "this is the best game ever"
Oh, so THAT's how it got a 100 review score
Why? Because they'd already be drunk, thus making it fun?
@@AlaskanGamerGuy please don't make me explain the joke, ask the next best person instead
This joke makes no sense mate, the game's boring, they are gonna be sober through the whole playthrough, josh made the joke right why did you try to remake it?
@@rize2874 Oh but it does make sense, here, let me explain:
The alcoholic will lie about it being so much fun because he wants to get drunk, hence why he says that it's the best game ever (= it's so much fun).
I'll admit you can misunderstand it, I should've worded it differently.
When I was 6 and this was my first devil may cry I didn’t know any better and this was peak and my favorite game
now I can't wait for him to cover DMC 3... like the first game was awesome. The second game was absolute shite but that 3rd game... it EASILY the best in the series .
DMC 3 or 5, endless debate starts ;)
@@Dorrovian bro facts! 3 and 5 are BOTH god tier!
Lucia and her devil trigger are two of the best designs of DMC, and the twist of her story, the angelic powers that are hinted at and threat of the lore getting deeper getting subverted in a way i still can't fully forgive despite adoring what it does for her character arc, is absolutely delicious and i'm glad they brought it back for DMC 4. i love her throwing knife feathers, i love the arm blades in Devil Trigger, her whole moveset is the right kind of stylish to stand out even in a cast this stacked with absolute Icons. i can only hope they bring her back and give her a better showing because she deserves a better fucking game
To be fair, "press forward and sometimes square to progress" does sound like a dream game for a games journalist.
I've never heard Uroboros pronounced that way in my life.
I respect that they tried, failed, and then made an even better game than the first afterwards.
Being blown away by DMC5 it's amazing to see how far the series had come from 2.
That sponsor moment cracked me up so bad. 10/10
We all know he will be fair and say good things.
It has good things but is still bad xD
A killer is still a killer even if he grooms his garden and is nice to animals
There is a Trish mode you can unlock, even with a cheat. She has Dante´s DMC 1 moveset, making her the best-playing character.
It feels like it's been so long since a new video. Always a good time when I find one!
If any of you were wondering why the guns are so ludicrously overpowered in this one, check out Matt Mcmuscles video: "Wha happun? Devil may cry 2" A short cliffnotes version: Focus groups complained about the guns feeling too weak in the first game. So they actually gave the game the opposite problem instead of telling those loonies they were playing a spectacle fighter.
I actually like how the guns work here. But they should have balanced everything else like have some enemies immune to bullets or having the sword work better for certain enemies. Who doesn’t love duel wielding though?
@@blainealexander5091 Oh I love how dante uses them too, but I agree. There is one enemy in DM3 that you have to make solid by shooting, then you melee them. More stuff like that would have been great. Basically just making all of Dante's arsenal useful.
@@tenyokensekia8088 I agree 100 percent
I appreciate coverage of games like this. This is precisely a game I’ll never play but I find your takes interesting.
Yea because DMC2 represents what DMC 4 and 5 are clearly are in YOUR head. When in reality they do not. DMC4 and DMC4 are not even closely like DMC2. So you can't compare them. No contest.
@@Rairosudo you maybe want to try that comment again?
I watched your Golden Sun review just the other day because I happen to be replaying it and it's so funny hearing the difference in Puzzles between both games
You sneaky bastard throwing me down memory lane with the phone wallpapers over Club Nintendo or Play Mania, just to put a gamersups in there, I saluite you for that: o7
I know it's not a good game, but I always had a soft soft for it. It's the only DMC game that I actually liked walking around in. The archtecture and liminality gave it a tone completely opposite to the rest of the series. Plus, you get to fight a demon skyscraper. I can't hate it.
My guilty pleasure version of DMC2 is Chaos Legion. I know it isn't good, but by god, did I enjoy the summoner part of it. As for DMC2, yeah, it is bad, and my young teenager brain couldn't process why I managed to get to the hardest difficulty before the five day rental period was up.
@@thorinhannahs4614 Hey, you aren't the only one. I actually liked that game too. Well, back in the day anyway. I doubt it holds up now. Cool premise though.
Cracking F1 race, England win and now Josh is uploading. What a time to be alive!!!
Dang I didn't expect a 20 second video with an hour of mini painting but i am pleasantly suprised
love the channel ❤
For anyone interested, Thorhighheels did a video about his personal appreciation for DMC2 aesthetics. Maybe the DMC2 apologist want to check him out. Shout out to Thorhighheels
Shout out to the King of Mysterious Juegos appreciation
Ahhh yes, the classic "it has good aesthetic so it's a good game", just like the DMC reboot.
@@devildante9 I am a semi DmC hater, but the game has legitimately great level design. It's more akin to the Greek God of War games in that aspect. Something I sadly can't say about the mainline games past the 1st DMC.
It falls short on other aspects (less in-depth combat, color-coded enemies, obnoxious lead), but I have to be fair with what the game gets right/wrong.
Thorhighheels also thinks Drakengard series is good.
we do not care. dmc fans dont care about ppl who think theyre smarter than others " the i think its good bcuz" ppl are boring and pathetic
It was alright.
I think it's fair to say that it's an okay action game, but a bad DMC game.
@@Triceratopping No. God of War is an okay action game. This is just trash.
Finally, ive been waiting for too long for some very analytic video that someone spent many hours making just to put it on the background and sleep
Thanks josh
Can't wait for Devil May Cry 3 review in the next 2 years. Also I just realized all 3 games have the running theme of the female side character being related to the main villain, Trish in DMC1, Lucia in 2 and Mary/Lady in 3.
I recently learned that the only devil may cry game that one of my friends has played, was DMC2, and you know, it's not always easy learning that your friend has a disability, but I do hope that they're able to move on and live a fulfilling life despite that.
I'm willing to go against the grain and like something that's hated. Like how I find bits of gold in Drakengard 2 and think it has some of the best gameplay of the series(including NieR) despite having the worst story presentation, but dear God DMC2 is bad. Like really fucking painful.
It is kind of funny to think back when Drakengard 1 came out and think whoa this is where we ended up NieR: Automata. Drakengard was not good and was so weird but dragon breath go brrrrr.
Best start of a JSH video yet! XD
Love that you bought that magazine issue
No.
JOSHE PLAE DEE EM CEE TOO

DONTE IS GUD. BEAYNNEEATTA 2 IS BAD DEE EM CEE TOO IS BETTAAEHERRR
i was searching for a comment like this lmao
Happy that he continues the series. Hoping for part 3 and 4
cant wait for the next 3 dmc reviews and me+josh being 20 years older until the review drops! Great video
DMC2 IS BEST
Ngl, this is my favourite series of yours, Josh.
Happy to support that.
I hope you will continue with the series :D
This game is what I assume all hack n' slash games are. It's how I see modern Final Fantasy. Just keep pressing the attack button.
Absolutely love this channel. I dream of a day you take on the Shenmue series.
Fun fact: The guy who voiced Griffon in DMC1 was an out of work opera singer who was embarrassed to take a voice acting role for a video game. He auditioned for the job because he needed the money, and only agreed to do it if he remained uncredited. I know that's not related to DMC2, but it's a fascinating piece of Devil May Cry history.
Even how dissapointing DMC 2 is, I have to appreciate some of the designs in this game. Dante (probably the best outfit design in the series), enemies, bosses (which is looks cool but poor execution) customisable amulet for devil trigger and Majin Devil Trigger. It such a shame this game had so much potential but due to directed by unknown that isn't Hideki Kamia and developed only 6 months, this game came out in disastrous state. (Megaman X7 is another dissapointing Capcom game came out in the same year). Even though Hideaki Itsuno try to forget the existence of this game, imagine DMC 2 remake or reboot somedays but only time will tell.
33:29 "Aruba-Ross"
nice
8:16 A few little details about this. The guns in DMC2 are actually *not* more powerful than in DMC1 damage wise. They can stunlock some enemies, yeah, but DMC1's guns are actually more potent in terms of damage, you gain more Devil Trigger from them, and when you are good at mashing in a rhythm, you can fire faster than in DMC2, combined with techniques such as shotgun/grenade cancelling raising their DPS so much further than it should.
When it comes to DMC2's combat, Melee attacks actually deal more damage on average than guns, especially with the elemental amulets when on Devil Trigger, and there *are* cool combos in there, but are weighted down by bad feedback and animations, yet guns are so safe to use (on normal mode at least), while giving actual feedback and having satisfying animations, that they *feel* like they are even more overpowered than they actually are (that said, they still are too potent for their own good, juggling most enemies from a distance is too stupid).
If anything, this game is a fascinating study on how bad feedback and animations (the entire melee combat system) can discourage the player from using tools that, all things considered, are more potent than the tools that have decent feedback and animations and show results immediately (guns in this game). For context, DMC1 never suffered from this, it was really good at giving appropiate feedback depending of the potency of attacks, both melee and range.
I recently got into the DMC series because it was on sale. I've gotten through the first game, and I played it mostly because I was told that you should go through them in order, though skipping DMC2. I enjoyed Devil May Cry a lot more than I expected, considering that I played it to get to the next one. My only real complaint about the first game was the camera angles, and the weird control issues that came with moving to the spot where the camera angle changed.
I'm now on DMC 3, and a lot of the things I thought were weird about how DMC worked make a lot more sense now. For example, on the first game I would fight bosses by activating devil trigger and just trying to burn them down, but on the three I find it a lot easier to learn the bosses moves and counter them.
Ooooh, new Josh Strife video :D
Your setup/room is everything I dream to have one day :D
Well that was quick and easy. Thanks for the short vid !
I'm willing to believe the Tomb Raider rumor only because strafing with the pistols feels very similar between the games. Laura Croft was possibly one of the earliest if not the first Character-Action shooters we've seen.
This gave me flashbacks to Matthewmatosis' DS2 video many years ago.
I wonder if history will repeat itself: A Brit soon comes swinging in with "A defence of DMC2", followed by yet another Brit picking the last one apart sentence by sentence.
I cant wait for the dmc 3 video. My favourite game of all time where I probably spend most of my childhood in.
That was the best 22 second video I’ve ever watched. Thank you, Josh.
Another thing about the Infested Helicopter.
If you wanted to play this like a regular DMC2 game, and hit it with your sword, you'll jump up to it, hit it once or twice, then get hit by a rocket, knocking you to the bottom of building, forcing you to spend a minute jumping back up.
I beat this game in one afternoon when I was like 14. Such a weird sequel to DMC. but 3 was fantastic.
Damn, a 20 second video, and it's pure gold.
I’m happy u answered the question so quickly
fantastic as usual josh
In 2007 when I expressed interest in playing the DMC games my friend's eyes lit up and he said he'd bring the 1st & 3rd games the next day for me the play over the weekend.
I asked, "1st & 3rd? What about the second game?"
He said, "Come here" and gave me a slap (not a legit slap, just a joking one) and said, "We don't talk about the second game"
i remember having a lot of fun playing this game, as dante and as lucia
Hands down best less than 10 second review I’ve seen in a while
I saw the title and just said "No." and only came back to watch this when I really needed an hour to burn.
Hey Josh huge fan of your reviews, but also honestly I use your videos to practice English listening too, keep up the good work. Cheers from Argentina
That opening was on point
Think of it this way: For Lucia, the events of this game were the most important events of her life. For Dante? It was Tuesday.
Also, by beating hard mode, you unlock playable Trish before DMC4SE made it cool.
Why am I reminded of the ‘06 Shadow the Hesgehog game when I listen to this?
Just in time for my birthday, thanks Josh.
Happy birthday! 🙂
Regarding 39:10 about being locked onto enemies while trying to hit switches, you can "unlock" by holding R2. You then can freely hit the switches.
i almost want to be disappointed that he didn't bring up how to unlock Trish as a playable character. but you know what. this was my entry into the DMC franchise. and i liked it alot as 8 year old kid granted when DMC 3 came out i was like wow this is way cooler. but because i still hadn't played 1 and in my mind sequels were always better, i had assume DMC 1 was worst than 2. of course i learned eventually that DMC 2 was hot garbage and DMC 1 is a masterpiece, but for some reason it still fascinates me. we didn't have a memory card at the time so i would play and beat the game every week in just under 3 hours a time just to unlock the bloody palace, or Trish. what a strange time.
Putting up the endcard early is my absolute favorite TH-camr gag.
You dont actually have to fight the infested chopper 3 separate times. You can just jump through the broken wall and ascend the building thats on fire and then run straight to the main boss encounter at the end of the level.
I've played and completed this game a couple of times when I was a kid but I never knew about the Sin Devil Trigger. I always thought it was something DMC5 introduced.
Pretty cool!
