"Devil may cry 2....."

I just bought this game, and after hearing how good the first one was I reasoned that the second would be better. I was obviouslt wrong. Its so, compared to all I've heard. The one thing that really annoys me though, is the combo system. Whats the deal with that?

Every time I play I get a D ranking in the style factor, and also in my damage. How do you pull off good combos? If I try and get what I think is fairly good, it just says "come on!". What do you do?

And just to say more about the game, its useless and boring. All you have to do is stand back and shoot your guns, since the have unlimited ammo. Its juat too easy.

Some help, or if not, views?

ah that explains it, so you've been waiting 3 years for this game Kawada. Was it worth the wait?

Yup PS2 exclusive and came out in 2003

I wasn't very good when I played DMC briefly, all my attacks were boring. Hey atleast I killed them all, my style is get the job done not be as elegant or agile as possible. :/

oo it's that good huh? I told my brother about it but he hasn't seen the first one. Probably came out a year or two ago. It's only on the PS2 right? hmm I ain't going to be playing that for awhile :(

On the subject of DMC, were or have they made a movie of it? Talking of games into movies I still havent seen Silent Hill. It's suppose to be bad unless you're already familiar with the game, in which case it's good :S Never played the game myself but loved watching it and shouting whenever something happened to scare whoever was playing at the time :) Especially when pyramid head comes charging at you. heh I got my brother into a right panic when that happened.

HE'S COMING RIGHT AT YOU!!! RUN, RUN!!

I did something fairly good in a level there today. There were loads of monster in a small train carriage, and I got a bingo with all my attacks.
I think that I'll buy DMC or DMC 3 sometime though, its better from what I've seen. I saw that you can use guns and sword at the same time in the first one, so it might be better to link attacks.

Not really as while FFX-2 was utterly horrid, Disgaea 2 is so freaking awesome it cancels out that abomination all by itself

but FFX-2 is evidence enough to prove it? ;)

Disgaea 2, Vandal Hearts 2, FF2 and FF4-7, MVP Baseball 2005 etc debunk that theory :-D

Tis a difficult bit this, you have to link every single move. By this I mean take all your small moves, and don't let the chain of attack break. If the rest of the monsters are far away then whip out your pistols to continue attacking. Once you're close again, get out your favoured sword and continue.

I'm sure there are hundreds of sites on the net that'll tell you what you need to know. A quick Google search should do the trick.
