Preface: The following letter makes more sense when you realize I originally rated this game a 3.5.
Dear Gamers,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter of resignation from the Worldwide Gamers Association. Due to my recent first playthrough of DMC 2, I have concluded that my opinions are not of any worth and that the label of "gamer" should not apply to someone with any sort of appreciation towards this game, such as myself. It was a short journey. One with brainless combat involving continuous pistol spamming, lack of interesting enemy variety, and bullet sponge bosses that just wanted to waste your time. But dammit if I didn't still have fun with it.
Honestly, it's a shame that this game wasn't longer, because maybe then I would have truly come to hate it. I mean, by Mission 14, I was starting to get a bit tired of it.... But then the game ended not long after. So yeah, I like this game. Hell, I was actually loving it at first. I am fully aware of the consequences in life that this public confession may lead to, but I hope this letter of resignation at the very least alleviates some peoples' anger and disgust.
Sincerely, SwitSwat (FormerBased Gamer)
P.S. -Sorry, not sorry lmao
Update: Now that I have finished Lucia's playthrough, I'll lower my overall rating of the game. Playing as Lucia was definitely a more mediocre experience for me overall, though part of it is that it's just more of the same. However, in retrospect, it made me realize that Dante's playthrough wasn't as good, either. Lucia's underwater missions are especially bad. That one underwater boss (if yk, yk) is so annoying.
Honestly, if I had started with Lucia, I might have not been so quick to play through Dante's route, as it made the game's faults that much clearer to me. I'll go ahead and accept that DMC2 is a bad game, but I still think it gets too much hate. Its short playtime makes for an inoffensively OK and silly time for me. Of course, compared to the first game, it may as well amount to steaming garbage.
