Is devil may cry 2 worth playing??

[Calub]

Ive played all the games except for 2 and 3, I wanna play 3 but dont know if i should play 2 first

[=THB= DewRitozz]

You should try it out, if you don't like it then just proceed to 3

[gold ;(]

as said above, just try one mission or two. If you think you're not enjoying it just skip it

[Director Bison]

Play 2 if you feel like it at some point.
The Deal with DMC2 is that it's was pretty rushed and basicly didn't have a director for most of it's production, and it shows.

I personally feel there is fun to be had playing DMC2, but it requried effort on the Players part to get good at the game. Like here is me getting an S rank on Mission 3

I find actually going for a good style rank in Combat to be fun. problem is there nearly nothing in DMC2 that actually encourage the player to play in this way. You can easily beat the entire game by just standing far away from enemies and spamming your guns at them until they die. that's what most people end up doing, so the majority of people don't like DMC2.

Every other DMC game on the other hand, makes getting better at the game a natural process, and they become more fun Naturally. DMC2 doesn't explain it's combat pretty much at all, so it's on the individual to look up and learn about it's gameplay on their own.

You don't need to play 2 before 3 at all, I'd recommend skipping it, is not worth it, it will leave you disappointed.

Personally i'd skip it. You wont miss anything story wise and coming hot off DMC1 and experience with 3 the character, personality, and soul just arent there. Dante is bordeline a mute the entire game and the other character is only ever in this game and never referenced or mentioned again. Most of the game feels heavily disjointed and forgettable. That said the controls don't feel bad and the combat is a bit better than the original's.

it's not on par with the rest of the games but even compared to the vast majority of average action combat games out there it's still solid, what you need to understand is it doesn't actually play like the other games, it feels like something almost totally different with only a few similarities

[Rozz Synthclair]

Yup, it's pretty fun. I think DMC 2 is the definition of overhated.

If the Sword play wasn't garbage and it was "challenging" so they could try hard in it,
they would love 2 how fickle they are....
God forbid guns actually do some damage in a DMC game....

At least Trish isn't payed DLC and is unlockable if you don't like Lucca.

[Grantorino]

It's kind of lit when you play it as Lucia. It's defiantly the weakest game out of fall 5.

[Vampire Killer]

I completed it yesterday and i at the beginning i was excited about it if it is really as bad as erveryone say and i gotta say that it is really that bad. This game is no fun at all but i stll recommed playing it to experience yourself how bad it is. Its one of the worst games personally have every played

persoonally find it better than 1 in the way of both ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suck and aged like milk but at least dmc2 is easy as ♥♥♥♥ and is a meme and is pretty quick to beat. dmc 1 is jjust sloggy ass game.

try to get S on all dmd missions then

It was pretty bad. The combat sucks because guns make the sword totally useless, and the story/characters are non-existent

1 doesnt suck. Having just played 1 and then 2 back to back i can tell you that 1 is infinitely better than 2. And probably my favorite other than 5 (havent played 3 yet)

Dmc has never mainly been about story. The combat for 1 is outdated and aged like milk. Dmc 1 literally is just as bad as 2 but the reason 2 is better is cause of how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quick you can beat the game. 1 is just a slog to play and has some of the worst missions. At least dmc2 didn't have first person underwater missions

Also dmc2 having a separate dodge button is a huge win over dmc1 cause dmc1's camera is legit the worst camera in gaming and mix that with the series not so great dodging mechanic and its the stupidest ♥♥♥♥. Dmc2 fixes that by having dodging as a separate button and it's one of the best things that came out of the game.
