"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?

Yeah but what kind of combos can you do? It says theres some sort of demo movie, but theres nothing like that. All I see is short clips of dante doing what I do all the time, and these are supposed to be stylish.
I know, maybe if I start getting good combos I'll like it more, but how is the question. Just tell me anything that'll give me more than a "come on!" rating, and I'll be okay.

Pretty much, although I think the third in the series is the best.

Are game sequels like movie sequels then? Not as good as the original?

OK, but if it's not a question, don't put a question mark at the end of the sentence.

Sorry for "going ape" but I know you're not 12, I belive you're 13 or 14 now.

Most would say that the second game is the worst of the series, but it's not a bad game at all. Just practise with it, once you start getting the A or even S class ranking in style, you'll know why.

I believe if you die 3 times you "unlock" easy mode.

Don't do that, its as annoying as hell. Everybody did that in the old freeola forums (not the SR ones) and it pee's me off.

And, that wasn't a question, there isn't an easier mode than normal, and no need to go ape just because some "incompetent little 12 year old wants help" because I'm not.
I'm skilled with the d-pad and joystick, and I can beat my 19, 23 and 25 year old brothers at multiplayer driver, wrestling and tekken games. That game, is just useless.

*sighs*

The combo system is there for people who can actually use the d-pad and joy-sticks properly, and to good use.

It's not meant to be easy.

For you? Switch it to easy mode and enable easy combos.

No pleasing you is there?

I'm a little short on money, and that was 8 euro pre-owned. There wasn't even a pre-owned DMC: 3 there.
And you still haven't answered my question.

Why would you "just buy" the second, when DMC3: SE has just come out?

Go now, and buy that game!

You expected it to be more than dull and boring? More fool you than :-)
