The Worst Game Ever Made? | Devil May Cry 2 Retrospective

S-ranking DMC2 is the REAL ultimate DMC challenge. You have to overcome broken combat instead of difficulty.

Really appreciate the shoutout for my DMC2 DE Mod video J, had a literal spittake

Most people give DMC2 crap which is understandable, but without DMC2 there wouldn't be DMC3 P.S Dante's Majin Devil Trigger design still goes hard

I don't get why they gave Dante a coin in DMC2, but it led to a neat moment in Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne of all things. In that game, Dante offers to join your party for a price and has you call a coin flip. If he wins, he'll charge you all the money you have, and if you win, he'll only charge you a single macca. If you've played DMC2 and know that his coin is double-sided, you're guaranteed to get him basically for free. If you haven't, then you have to guess since nothing in the game itself ever hints that it's a trick coin, even after the coin flip.

The worst part os that dmc2 has the coolest looking dante. Also the false coin line is fucking dope.

Not even close to “the worst game ever”. And in a series retrospective, this game was necessary. Basically created TRICKSTER and the team that would go on to make DMC3. DMC3 being the game that defined 4 and 5 on tone. If anything, playing 2 and knowing about S ranking, it makes me glad that those people who played 1 mission and clipped in saying “guns OP” were actually D rank players. Cause guns are basically used to open up trash enemies and keep your rank alive.

Actually dmc 2 wasn't that bad for me when i played it as a kid, mainly because it was the first Devil May cry that i played so i didn't know any better at the time and i had so much fun playing it, but after finishing it and playing the other dmc games i can never play it again😂! The first experience was great tho.

When I first played mission 5 in DMC 2 and met the infested chopper, I didn't know it was supposed to be a chase sequence and that I had to run away from the chopper and fight it on top of the tower. What ended up happening was me spending an HOUR just firing my guns at the chopper, only for it to quickly disappear into the sky each time Its health reached zero. I unintentionally did the chopper boss fight three times and made the mission longer than it was. When I reached the tower and realized my mistake, that's when I learned this game was trash.

I love how the intro of you reading the manual is a reference to your intro of your Mega Man X7 retrospective.

It's a shame Lucia happened to stem from this of all DMC games. She could really shine with her potential if she ever got to appear in another DMC game. It was neat though that she showed up in one of the DMC5 tie-in comics.

Dude, seriously? Again? Same day???? And we both quit at mission 14 that's hilarious. Are we connected?

I noticed this was the same intro you did for Mega Man X7

Mega Man X7 Review reference right off the bat, I'm sold.

This game sure grew worse for me as the years went on. I would rather play the Reboot game than this one - which I find overhated and not as exaggerating-ly bad as its made out to be. Devil May Cry 2 is not the worst game ever made, but its a really bad Devil May Cry installment. If Capcom ever gives Devil May Cry 1 or 2 a remake someday like they do Resident Evil. Please redeem Devil May Cry 2 because this games ideas could sure use a full retooling...

It’s funny this game is considered to be so bad because it was one of the first ps2 games I ever played. the graphics and enemy designs wowed me as a kid.

0:55 house were the only notable Ls Capcom took in 2003: there was Dino Crisis 3, Mega Man Battle Network 4, and the GBA version of Mega Man & Bass

Can't wait to see your retrospective video of DMC3. If I remember correctly it was Devil May Cry 2 that got me to play Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. I bought a copy of DM2 and finished Disc 1/Dante's Missions in just 1 or 2 days. The next day I found out Disc 2/Lucia's Missions won't boot up so I returned to the game store and, fortunately, they agreed to exchange it with MGS3: Subsistence.

Dante in this game reminds me of deadpool from x-men origins "Hey this character who's usually just fine talking plenty? Yeah no shut him up it'll make him cooler." it did not.

Why does Dante look like a vampire in the original PS2 version's box art? I'm referring to how he looks rather pale and his eyes are red. It's so strange, especially since every version of that artwork since has Dante looking normal. It could probably just be a weird filter.

1:11 the way you slung the demon to the cameraman made me laugh!
