Wow, 2003 Capcom sure was a crock of shit wasn't it? This game, Mega Man X7, Dino Crisis 3, etc. It's absolutely amazing the company didn't go under after such an awful display, but I guess that's thanks to Viewtiful Joe.
DMC2 isn't a video game, it isn't an experience for you to get yourself immersed in, or to be thrilled by.
DMC2 is a void that swallows up all enjoyment and entertainment value and puts you in a place where you cannot escape, where you cannot experience anything of value or providence.
I may not have understood how exactly combos worked in DMC1, but you know, at least the gameplay was inherently satisfying. I still felt like I had to avoid attacks, utilize the unique abilities for my Devil Trigger, etc. That game had a crunch to its sound effects too, and music that got you in the mood to kill the hordes of enemies ahead.
DMC2 has none of this. DMC2 plays the game for you. Hold down the X button and watch as you participate in the waiting game. This is how 95% of encounters in this game can be handled. Why bother with swordplay when shooting the enemy can stagger and juggle them in the air indefinitely. This even applies to boss fights.
I just knew, the moment I popped into this game for the second time since I own it on my PC that I was going to feel absolutely drained. By the second half of the game I had begun to abandon the guns to try and give any form of life to this fucking game, but it didn't work. There is no way to make this game any less soulless than it is.
I think for me, the premiere moment of the game's shittiness came to me during this one part where you ride in a train. There are enemies in the train and you are expected to beat them while the train moves to its destination. I managed to beat them very swiftly, but still had to wait a solid 30 seconds for the the train to reach the other side. And in that moment, that's when it came to me:
DMC2 wastes your time.

You're right about Mega Man Zero 2, people just aren't ready to hear it.

Bro full of bad takes
If you think the game is awful than explain why, if you think so than you at least have to know that it isn't self-evident like X7 and DMC2. More importantly, the game was developed by Inticreates, not Capcom.
I did explain why, in my Mega Man Zero 2 review. Why would I go into detail about why I don't think it's good in the comments of my DMC2 review, that'd just be clutter.
Sorry if that came off rude, didn't mean for it to. But yeah I've already given the why on that review and I went into detail as to what I don't like about it.
Odd, that should be at 4 stars. Still my point stands
@Caballistic my apologies, though it does still stand that DMC2 and Mega Man Zero 2 aren't very comparable imo. X7 and DMC2 are both strikingly similar (both are technically incompetent, console releases, from teams who were illequiped to develop that kind-of game under those circumstances, are slow/boring, fail to explain themselves, and are just embarrassing to play). If you don't like Mega Man Zero 2 that's fine but on a purely technical level it is a pretty solid game and not even comparable to a low-rate disaster like this
You're right, MMZ2 is pretty good
This is a bizarre review, the first wasn't exactly good either
Mega Man Zero 2 is not only good, but it's also the second best Mega Man game in the franchise

(I hate it when people unironically say a game "filtered" someone though, in part because it implies there is some universal difficulty level for which all gamers should accept, and in part because it seems to think not enjoying a game's difficulty or how it obtains that difficulty is not legitimate which is just stupid. Someone didn't get filtered, they just didn't enjoy it lmao)

Front page drama is the best thing for this site, give me more.

nah i just say filtered when someone misses the point of a given piece of media, usually in a light hearted manner
