it hase come to my attention that dante, the son of the good knight sparda, IS FRIDGING INSANE.
he is a hypocrite, he says demons who saved his life like are trish are human because they can cry, i understand the symbolism, but if you think about it, being able to cry doesn't make you good, think of the worst human you possibly can, do they have the ability to cry? unless they are not human (in which case you're cheating) or have some serious issues, the answer is most certainly yes. even further, what's the say the other demons of the series can't cry? Dante rarely ever meets them outside a battle context and Dante never cries in battle because it's random and stupid, yet the demons don't have a mental breakdown in battle because he's gonna chop their heads off if they do.
and humans may actually be worse than demons, the devil may cry agency uses a secret password, meaning that there isn't a demon army rampaging through every city, if demons majorly attacked humans, it was a very long time ago for nobody to be aware.
And Dante's business may be making things worse even, by agreeing to hunt down devils, not only is he proving that random people who happen to know the password through wherever aren't complete crackpots, but rather, tottaly sane, how would people react to this? simply put, i do believe that all strange occurrences would be put down to demons, this would change ideas going from "lets sceince to work that out!!" to "DEMON!!"
even worse , militiary action would probably be called for, even MORE bad news, demons would be used for proganda, im thinking "the PEOPLE IN WHEREVER WE ARE HAVING A WAR WITH DONT AGREE WITH US COS THEY ARE DEMONS, NOT BECAUSE OF THE SLIGHT CHANCE WE MAY BE WRONG"
and since they are demons, cold, hard killing machines, nuclear action wouldn't be even slightly frowned upon.
now, dante may not have thought of all this, but i'm pretty sure he at least has some idea, it's probably why he has a password to, the number of times he could prevent himself form a prank call isn't many, considering thta his exact number would require a lot of luck to get by chance, he has the password to protect humans, because like i mentioned before, he is biased against all demons.
and then there are the demons themselves? did you know they have a soceity? and even human and animal things like conformity? want proof? ok in dmc1, demons are ranked as upper, lower, or middle class demons, sorta like humans, though it's based on power rather than cash, which is funny, cos being rich kindof is power since a poor man can't quite a buy a mega doom ray of super awesome, but if you had enough money and it existed you tottaly could. demons don't just have rankings like us, they have comformity as well, take a look at the most common death enemy, the scissors, why do so many choose to inhibit scissors rather than, i dunno maybe a sword? since that would the killing tool demons are most familiar with, not only do the deaths have no reason to favour scissors, it looks dumb as well why would they freely choose to do something like this? because, there friends are doing it. want more proof of demon social life? demons, the personification of evil, officially fear the hell vanguards for being TOO brutal.
and back to the whole demons are real revelation, notice something about the dmc anime ending and dmc4? in dmc anime a large, scary demon clearly appears, and then so do a bunch more, in a city, with cameras, and news coverage... dmc4 only shows us a small island and the inside of Dante's office, demonville for all!
im not sure what point this is meant to have, uuuh, what mr sheep said.

So DMC2 isn't devoid of a storyline; it just doesn't happen to be particularly deep, or at least the story telling itself was really what was lacking. You know how it goes; you can have two different people tell the same joke, but how they tell it makes a world of difference. The same goes for game story lines.
