When Itsuno showed up the team had only designed the Stinger attack. He was mad as hell at the brass for putting him on what was pretty much an impossible job.

When I speak to older friends (and my brother) about DMC, they always say this was an amazing game, and no one said it was sh1t. No one read reviews or others opinions online because it was hard to use internet at that time, so they just asked friends when they could. Maybe those who played this game then understood more what it innovated because it could only be compared to DMC1 and other games of that time. All those (unlisted) combos with the sword which culminated in shotgun attacks, or the wall-walk, the usage of guns pointed in different directions, or the fact you feel a lot free with movements, these things were novelties for action games. And Dante's outfits were incredible. You had also 3 characters to use and, despite the lack of depth in gameplay, people loved extras for the sake of it. Not saying this game being good, but that the perception people had of this game was different due to a lot of factors.

[@BriefDark]

@@brando_duurie Most of what you pointed out is bull crap. Don’t even try. For example. Unlisted combos. Combos were also in the first game. The 2nd completely ruined the combo system, by making you flick the analog sticks, as well as time your presses. And having them be unlisted makes that even worse. You’re most likely just going to be doing the same 4 hit combo the entire game. But, I guess it’s subjective. But seeing as the games went back to DMC1s style of combat for the rest of the series…Yeah…That’s a moot point.. The wall run, I’ll give you. It’s a really cool, and good addition. Having guns point in different directions? What? Dude, that’s just auto aim. The guns pointing is just for visual. Literally all of these games have it. A lot of free movements…yeah, because these stages are literally fucking empty. Act like you don’t have plenty of room to move around in the others. That’s not a plus. The extra characters, I guess. If you want to be technical, there were different costume options in 1. But, to your credit, Dante and Lucia have different movesets. Congratulations. Have a cookie. 🍪 Later.

[@Hindsightt2020]

REMINDER: Hideaki Itsuno was brought onto the game with only 4 months left of development time because NOTHING was getting done and that needed to change. The scenario hadn't been written. The cutscenes had yet to be shot. They hadn't decided what to do about Dante's Devil Trigger yet. They only made the Stinger attack but none of the other attacks had been worked on at all. Its nothing short of a damn miracle this game came out at all. Itsuno essentially made this entire thing out of literal broken scraps in just 4 short months. This complete failure of a game is not at all his fault. IT WAS his motivation for mating Devil May Cry 3 however. He drove straight in with a "Lets do this right." attitude. He did not want to be remembered as "The guy who made Devil May Cry 2."

I actually love this game. DMD mode was challenging especially on bosses like trismagia. Dante had an ultimate demon form for the first time if you transformed while having red health and it was the coolest thing ever. It also had 2 ultimate attacks one dark/light explosion and a continuous dark/light beam. 4 wings and laser swords and stuff! Pretty cool actually. It also had the most difficult bloody palace mode, it would get you to a room with 3 or 4 bosses at the the same time with DT!!! That is veeeeeery hard. The gameplay was kinda slow sadly... Also i loved the SMG weapons. The worst thing about this game it's that it doesn't have infinite DT even after clearing everything.

[@zoroken2946]

Honestly DMD is way too easy, compared to DMC 1. Item prices do not go up, and the bosses do pitiful damage. You can still cheese the game by running past enemies and using shotgun/launcher.
