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.

this comment section is the prime example of why this site still has some hope left
turning off comments is the cowards way out, I learned this quickly.
@Caballistic i fucking hate newborn babies, they don't even have fun combo systems
Reading this while drinking a cold beer is going to be a very fun time later tonight, but I should be getting back to kino, DMC3 requires my attention.
@Vee Actually I think the same, you buncha assholes but at least the fucking site has something going on
you can't even claim to enjoy kino if you gave DMC2 .5 stars
zero 2 good smh
Funs over, guttertrash replied. Pack it up.
what the fuck is going on
I never thought I'd ever watch a ratio happen under a DMC2 review
In this 500 word essay I’ll be explaining why Mega Man Zero 2 is a masterpiece-oh, everyone left? :(
Departure is a very good song
MMZ2's intro is so RAW it'd give you KINO poisoning
(Also FWIW there's nothing wrong with disliking MMZ2, I just disagree-
Also hey this review got 16 Likes so I'd say it all worked out.)

if you think about it caballistic is like weil and we're the resistance forces tbh
This implies I have an Omega that is made from one of your guy’s original body to use against you.
How dare you have a differing opinion about a video game than I. This is an abomination against my very soul. Please delete your account, or I will never recover from this affront.
I know it's probably really bad but I convinced myself DMC2 was good for a short time, and then I got an Xbox with DMC5 and DMC3 and all that good will I had with DMC2 went right out the window,
