Hot take: The DMC anime is still better than DMC2
This is the first time in my life I felt so strongly about an opinion no one seems to agree on me with and I question if I have gone mad.
To clarify, I don't like the DMC anime. I think it's hot garbage. With that said, I still firmly believe that DMC2 is the entire landfill.
I genuinely don't understand people who try to convince others that the anime is somehow worse than DMC2. Am I crazy for thinking that, as bad as the DMC anime is, it's starting to become a little overhated? Like yeah, it's bad, but it's not DMC2 bad. Like even if the show sucked it was atleast a little entertaining as apposed to a game that has the most boring gameplay imaginable lumped in with a story that makes **ZERO SENSE EVEN IF YOU YOU COULD CALL IT ONE.**
I feel like a lot of this comes down to recency bias. The anime is much more recent, while DMC2 came out all the way back in 2003, so I think people are starting to forget just how awful that game actually was. I've even seen people seriously compare the reboot to DMC2, and I'm just like, bro... **AT LEAST THE REBOOTS GAMEPLAY DOSNT MAKE ME WANT TO CLAW MY FACE OFF**
**DMC2 is literally just spam the shoot button until the enemy dies.** That's not even an exaggeration. 😭
The anime might be Netflix slop, but DMC2 is on an entirely different level of awful. I feel like people need to go back and actually replay DMC2 before putting it above the anime or the reboot.
