What's so god awful about DMC2 that actually makes people place DmC: Devil May Cry above as a better game?

What's so god awful about DMC2 that actually makes people place DmC: Devil May Cry above as a better game?

It's just really boring to fight anything.

devil trigger kills all bosses in one hit

...

I got the 1st and 2nd game about a month ago, they were the only ones that I had never played in the series.

The first one was really interesting, but, having heard all the negative feedback about the second one, I was really amazed at how good it was when I played it. I liked how much more open the levels were and the increased mobility that I felt that I had when playing with Dante.

That being said, it was a really easy game, I think I just died a couple of times and it was more due to my own negligence than due to the hard difficulty. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the game and can't say I share the negativity that others feel towards it.

The only weapon variety Dante has are guns, the enemy designs, characters and story feel very dull and some of the bosses take an unnecessarily long time to kill.
It isn't a horrible game, it's just disappointing after playing DMC1 and it killed my hype for 3, but thankfully I decided to give 3 a try anyway.

this is amazing

It's one of those games that feels like it takes 9 hours to beat even though it's only 3 hours long and piss easy

Also, I want to add that it is the only game where I felt that the guns were really, really viable and invested orbs in them, and used them all the time. Especially in DT, it felt awesome to melt everything with them.

holy shit there goes the /thread

Are we seriously having this thread?

Level design is bland, lack of weapon variety, helicopter boss, etc

Meanwhile, MGR

>Level design is bland, lack of weapon variety, helicopter boss, etc

Oh wow what a great game!

It's a better, more fun game than DMC2.

>DMC4 causes you to fight EACH BOSSFIGHT THRICE
>EACH ONE OF THEM
>EXCEPT FOR THE BEST BOSSFIGHT, CREDO
what were they thinking

Pretty much this. If you played it you'd understand.

>implying MGR is good
>implying a QTEfest of that game is good

Boring enemies and level design, also graphics and artistic direction are worse than DMC1.

Also lack of weapons.

The only good things about the game are, beta Trickster, Trish, Majin DT, Despair Embodied, the OST and Dante's design.

Never played MGR so I can't comment on that.

pretty much this because of how much of the game felt like a mix of 1 and 3 but not getting the right balance made it bad.

However if you put it lower then DmC you are retarded a game that adds more mechanics andexpands the series should always be above the game that took a way features. both are shit though

>The combat system and animations are bad, so fighting doesn't feel good
>Most bosses are literally shoot from a mile away 2 win
>It's bad and boring and just a miserable experience
When you get to the stupid zombie helicopter boss, you will understand the despair

DMC2 was my first and I don't know why anyone wouldn't like it

Although I still have no idea what the last boss was about

capcom decided to make then release it halfway through development

>>DMC4 causes you to fight EACH BOSSFIGHT THRICE
>>EACH ONE OF THEM
>>EXCEPT FOR THE BEST BOSSFIGHT, CREDO
everytime

MGR only gets a pass because it came out a month after DmC. People were even said Anarchy Reigns was better (and good) in the first month Tameem's work was out.

i'd be fine with it if they allowed me for a rematch with credo
But no, you get to fight Agnus as dante, aka jump as swordmaster, BBBBBBBBB and repeat until dead

if you played it you'd know.

right off the bat swords just feel bad, animations take too long and hit effects are weak, guns are also too strong, they do barely less damage than melee hits so it's viable to stand across the room and shoot the enemies to death, which is also easy to do with bosses because boss arenas are massive and bosses usually don't have any way to get to you quickly or shoot things.

all melee weapons are the same except speed/damage modifiers, level design is bad, it's hard to tell what is a real door and what isn't and sometimes hard to tell where to even go.

the only things I can think of that I like about this game is that it introduced things like on the fly weapon switching, trickster and bloody palace that would go on to be improved in later entries.

at least DmC is competent in the gameplay despite being a massive step down from 4.

their stories are basically the same too.

Am I the only one that's played every DMC game and actually likes new DmC?

It's no masterpiece but it was fun

>you will never cuddle with lady and hug her and

DMC2's Stinger is also known as the pussy thrust, but DmC still has a respectale Stinger.

>olives
what a fuckup

Incredibly boring and easy
Dante has like two lines in the whole game
Dante is mute and stoic, no character development
Lucia's terrible accent

It's a brown game

The level design was absolute garbage compared to the first
The difficulty was neutered as fuck
Lucia was an awful secondary protagonist
Dante got old

all of it. Just all of it.
