| MTZehvor said: You've certainly made quite a few assumptions in this last post. At any rate, yes, you're certainly right, Dante has changed from game to game. However, there's a difference between a character changing in personality as they get older, i.e. character development, and vastly changing a character altogether. It's the same way here. While Dante from DMC4 certainly is much more out there than probably any other Dante in the series, he's silly enough that I wouldn't have much trouble recognizing him from DMC1. Same goes with DMC3. The only case where this doesn't really apply is DMC2, and that game was god awful. Even if Dante DID change dramatically from each game, though, he'd still be an awful character in DmC simply because he fails on all levels as an empathizable or funny character. His idea of cool is to throw every curse word he knows at an enemy, he acts like a complete butthole to everyone, and the game never develops him as a character at all. He just goes from not caring about anything to suddenly caring about a certain girl. It's not that I blame anyone for changing a character, it's that I'm blaming them for changing a character beyond any point of recognizable personality and changing them in such a god awful way. |

DMC4 Donte is NOT an older version of the same character. He's a different character althougether. Reuben Langdon who performed voice and motion capture for DMC3 and DMC4 Dante was asked to play DMC4 Donte differently from eairler iterations of the characrer.
In fact DMC1,2,3,4 don't actually work in the same continuity.

You wouldn't have much trouble recognising him as DMC1 Dante because you started playing DMC with DMC4.
For DMC1 fans such as myself DMC4 Dante is nothing like the original persona what so ever. This has also been confirmed by the series creator and the voice/motion actor who played Dante for DMC3 and 4.

We both know that DmC Dante develops deeper than previous iterations of the character. The reason you need to pretend DmC is the problem is to excuse DMC4. If you pin the blame on DmC you think you can distract someone from questioning the abysimal DMC4. Dosen't work like that. DMC4 is held to the same standard, you can't excuse something for nothing being Devil May Cry, yet condemn DmC for not being Devil May Cry either.
It's that I'm blaming them for changing a character beyond any point of recognizable personality and changing them in such a god awful way.
Then why did you excuse that bizzare camp imposter DMC4 Dante?
