Was it Good? - Devil May Cry 2

#####

Devil May Cry 2 is one of the games ever.

Thanks to the Patreon and twitch supporters for keeping the channel alive :D

The best part about DMC2 is that it makes DMC3 one of the best comeback stories of all time

[IcicleFerret]

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.

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

“Lucia can swim”
This was definitely a tomb raider rework

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 😂

Fun fact, infested tank file description states: A tank possessed by an Infestant. The body coated by the demon armor is invulnerable to any attack
And then game guide says: Thankfully, their enemy file is incorrect and their armor is not invulnerable

I like how Dante's personality is such a 180 from DMC1 that the game publishers made DMC3 a prequel to explain why.

I love that you went for the "Was it any good?" - "No, Cheers, thanks for watching" Joke. I w a s expecting it and even tabbed to the video on my first monitor while you did it.

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.

[Lokanth]

That was the best 22 second video I’ve ever watched. Thank you, Josh.

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.

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

[joebojanic]

Waiting through that countdown for a "No" was hilarious. Lmao😂

[MaitreMechant]

that helicopter and building boss fights are certified "behold, combat !" moments

[azhathzel]

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.

[residentgrigo]

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.

[massdefection]

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.

[Jasina]

Josh just casually mentioning Sands of Time. God, I hope that one day that game's gonna get a Josh video.

[ShadowCthulhu]

Dante's outfit and Despair Embodied are the best parts of DMC2.

[АйдоралСмертестойкий]

We may never know the name of the original DMC2 director but we now know the name of the magazine he wrote the reviews for.
