I thought Dante kind of looked like 'feng there for a second.

I hunted down the gayest photo I could find of myself (it's about 4 years old):



Get someone to photoshop a penis into my mouth and I think I'd look pretty similar to this newest incarnation of Dante.

I don't know why anyone would look forward to a new DMC anyway. I would much rather have a sequel to Bayonetta, which was better in almost every aspect.



If I wouldn't get banned for the photoshop, I would do it 'feng.

Maybe it was better than DMC4, but no way was it better than DMC3 lol. Just my opinion though, I'm sure someones gonna try to convince me otherwise and tell me why I'm wrong..

DMC3 was good for what it was at the time. Is it technically outdated compared to Bayonetta and DMC4? Yes. But the thing I love more about 3 though is that I didn't play a pussy for half the game. Not to mention the game was actually really difficult and in a fun way, 4 showed no challenge to me whatsoever. I think the reason people like 3 the most (and I can't blame them), is because two was such a step in the wrong direction, getting back to the roots of the first one and improved upon it made all the DMC fans happy again.

Now I won't necessarily say DMC2 was bad. Was it the worst of the 4? Ohh yes it was without a doubt. It was fun though by itself, even though the game is so easy that I could give my dog the controller, he would chew on it all day and he would have it beaten on Dante Must Die mode it is that easy.

And I will never really get the point of Nero in DMC4. At least his sword was awesome though, have a replica of his sword hanging on my wall (I know I am a nerd, no need to remind me!). But anyways, that entire game could have been done through the perspective of Dante and would of been fine. I think any part of the game not involving Nero was my favorite part of the game. Not to mention, he looks the frikin same as Dante, it is like being punched in the stomach with a new character, and then pee'ed on while you are on the ground making him look and sort of act like Dante. At least in MGS2, Raiden was his own character and didn't try to be like Snake, except when he had his code name.

Dante himself is just a great character. And I think that what was missing in DMC4, he never really got an opportunity to shine in the game, despite controlling him for half of it. DMC3 pretty much gave me everything I want. Dante full game, crazy awesome weapons, awesome music, great origin type story, awesome villain. Also loved in the Special Edition, you could play as Vergil if you wanted, who was also a great character. DMC3 should be a template for all future DMC games and improve upon it.

As for Bayonetta, yup, loved everything about the game. Actually, I think everything I like in a woman is pretty much Bayonetta. That game is a great example that after almost 10 years, Platinum Games shows nothing but improvements on something so great each game they make, and Capcom should regret ever letting them out of their hands. Hell I wish Capcom would just give them DMC back. But its okay, ever since DMC4, I have come to terms that Capcom themselves or any other mediocre developer (Yes I am looking at you Ninja Theory! o_<) will never make a DMC game as good as DMC1 or 3. So all I can do that is find a way to tolerate any upcoming DMC games, but the new one has already completely shattered any hopes or expectations that the game will be good. Crappy new look, mediocre company developing it, trying to make an origin story of an origin story. What a load of crap. Really, the developers at Ninja Theory must love sticking their dick in a Twilight book while snorting cocaine, because that is the only way you could come up with a character design like that.

So pretty much the only way to recapture the spirit of DMC, I am just going to have to wait for Bayonetta 2, or anything made by Platinum Games.

The point of Nero is he's the reincarnation of Virgil. Which is why his right hand demonized into Nelo Angelo's hand, why Nelo Angelo appeared behind him in his Devil Trigger mode, and most importantly, why he had the Yamato, and why Dante allowed him to keep it. In other words... the main character of DMC4 was Dante's twin brother Virgil reborn.

If you caught that stuff while you're playing, you appreciate DMC4 a lot more.

[Wildstriker]

Four was fantastic, I have no idea what any of you are talking about... If you actually paid attention to any of the clues (Yamato, Nelo Angelo's hand and his figure, the ending) then the game actually had a point. So of course the reincarnation of Dante's twin brother will look like Dante.

Actually, update. It's suspected, and been stated by someone at Capcom that Nero is actually Virgil's son. That's wild speculation there though.

[Velhart]

Never said four was bad. It just doesn't have the spirit of the previous titles. I did catch that Nero was a reincarnate or son of Vergil. This could have all been done in the perspective of Dante. People can argue with me, and I don't completely diss Nero, if he was a supporting character, I would welcome him with open arms. But to each his own. I did enjoy all the stuff I did with Dante. With Nero, I felt like everything was handed to me on a silver platter. But don't get me wrong on that either, do I like Nero? Yes. But I don't play Devil May Cry to watch a supposed bad ass lay on the ground and cry like a little wuss. Dante is always able to keep his cool to an extent. So like I said, I do really like DMC4 like Richie loves Potsie. Just everyone has their complaints here and there about something.

And we can all agree that any DMC is better than two.

Dear lord, he looks much more like a generic, western action hero now. Granted, "white haired badass" nowadays is far from original, but changing the central character of a franchise is just...odd.
Still think it's a bit too early to judge, but if that really is Dante, it just doesn't click with me.
Who knows though, maybe the game will be good...

[Saniiro]

Who cast Robert Pattinson's drug addled future self for DMC...?

Taking bets on how long it will take before he is redesigned due to backlash.

[Varizen]

Feng. What craziness do you speak? Since when do JP developers EVER listen to backlash? And when do they every figure out why people are mad? Of course... After watching an interview, the redesign was actually done by Americans...

Except that DMC is being developed by Ninja Theory, which is based in Cambridge, England. It's only being published by a Japanese company.

[Varizen]

Bah. English, American. It's all the same to me. Fuckin colonial....

[Mirae]

Keep in mind they could still change it...compare the "prototype" Dante from DMC4 to the final product. He couldn't look any more different!
Here's being hopeful, anyway.

feng that pic of you from 4 years ago makes me wanna punch you...but like most times when i feel the urge to cause physical harm to others, (if im not really pissed off at them) it would likely be replaced by me just givin you a "what the fuck?" look...

[firefeng]

That was the point of the photo. I actually took it to troll an Internet Tough Guy™. His subsequent reactions were priceless.

Then LJ got involved and deleted his journal.

[renzuko]

i see...

I laugh every time I scroll past your spiked hair and expression 'feng.
