DMC 2 No More

As of now I've also finished the 2nd disc from Devil May Cry 2. I think that this 2nd disc was more fun then the 1st one. Lucia has a pretty cool fighting style and she looks cooler in Devil Trigger as well.

It was pretty easy though, seems she's pretty strong too since I got to level 1312 or something with her in Bloody Palace, sure I skipped 100 levels each time, it's still pretty cool, usually don't get past level 7 in such things.


Disc 1 had it's annoying moments, though disc 2 was really easy, no trouble at all with anything, probably for most action game lovers it's just way too easy.

So much for Fate/Stay Night

I've now seen all 24 eps of Fate/Stay Night, which I started watching because according to AniDB it had a relation with Shingetsutan Tsukihime (aka Tsukihime - Lunar Legend). Which I suppose is kind of true, since the kid in Shingetsutan Tsukihime had this strange power that let him see an object or person's life lines, which were lines that would cause anything or anyone to fall apart if you'd cut them. With Fate/Stay Night it's kind of similar, the main character has an ability that allows him to do the opposite of the other dude, he can identify the structure of any object or person (or being really) and reinforce it. Here's it's just regular magic that anyone can learn, but apparently it's so weak that nobody takes the time to learn it. But he excels at it, and as he later finds out he also excels at 'tracing' which allows him to create corporeal illusions of objects.

Anyway, it was pretty cool, he's a bit silly in that he doesn't allow his 'servant' to fight for him, which is all she really wants to do.
It's pretty interesting, though I think the translation I had was a bit off, since they were all called heroes and their special abilities were noble phantasms even though there were some real evil beings among them, like Rider and Caster. Of course you might live by the notion that there is no such thing as good and evil, which would fit since even Rider can seem like a nice person at times. But I think probably Legends and Legendary Phantasms would work better, especially with the 'King of Heroes' making an appearance whilst being probably the most evil being in the show, I'd personally prefer to call him King of Legends because he is pretty well known (as are some of the others). But that's just my idea, nothing to do with the show beyond that though.

It was excellent, I enjoyed it, can definitely recommend it.

Dante's Disc

I've finished the first disc from Devil May Cry 2, aka Dante's Disc. I still think the game is very under appreciated. Sure the game has no story at all, but then again I didn't think that DMC 1's story was all that great.
The game wasn't at all tough though, took me 2 tries to get the final boss, and only 1 for the one before that (final boss this time being both Argosax the Chaos and Despair Embodied, or whatever it's name was). The toughest boss was the one from the building.

Anyway, I've just started Lucia's disc and played 2 missions now. Her style of fighting is pretty cool, I always like dual wielding and the air-combo capabilities (which I was told was never introduced until DMC4).
I'm gonna play through Lucia's 13 missions as well, but I don't think that it'll change my current opinion of it being a pretty bad game, but still under appreciated.

Devil May Cry 2

Since I've finished the first Devil May Cry game I thought I'd start DMC2 as well. Even though I know that 90% of the people who liked DMC hated DMC2, I can't figure out why. Sure I've only just finished the third mission, but up to this point it's actually more fun then the first game.
I don't know maybe it becomes really bad halfway or something, but thus far nothing seems to be so bad about it that it warrants being called the worst sequel/prequel ever...
