Dante has character developement between 3 & 4, just because he has it it doesn’t mean that he will stop being himself.
People refuse to read between lines and fill in the blanks… If Dante was still the immature, flippant fool he was in 3, no way he’d have given two shits about Nero nor let him keep the Yamato in 4.
Yeah, he’s still gives 0 fucks about all the wild shit happening around him, but there’s a reason he’s referred to as “Uncle Dante” in that game (beyond the fan assumption surrounding Nero’s parentage)…
What was the point of Nav’ing over to this thread if you niggas gonna continue talking about DmC?
Let that shit dead already.
Because a couple of assholes can’t just admit that DmC is shit-ass-fuck-garbage.

The problem I do see with DmC’s Dante (as I never claimed or implied it was perfect), was that it seems a 50/50 mashup of Dante and Nero. Too many of Nero’s character flaws make it into Dante that weren’t necessarily consistent with Dante’s personality.
The main psychology that made the original twins who they were is still present, and more elegantly played out.
The main event that causes both of them to be who they are in both series’ is the death of their mother.
Dante’s response is comedy and bravado…to mask/ignore feelings of regret and powerlessness as a child. He often plays around in battle both because he has become so skilled he is in no danger, AND to block out the bitter feelings and memories that demons invoke. Vergil’s response is a single minded focus on obtaining as much power as possible, to prevent further loss of loved ones.
The brother’s rivalry is probably a manifestation of them blaming each other for not being able to help their parents.
Now, DmC has Dante as a more irreverent, unempathetic ass. However, in context his rebellion (no pun) to societal norms is probably him at least subconsciously knowing that most everything in the world is a construct of Mundus. It would make sense that he would have a natural aversion to a “normal” life and become a “deviant”.
Vergil, also true to form is doing something ABOUT Mundus actively and even deciding to step in and rule humans is perfectly in line with his race to power. The infamous sniping scene is consistent with his any means necessary attitude. Means to an end. If it’ll get Vergil what he wants, he will do it (this is true of both versions).
Well, we already know that’s not true of DMC Virgil though. Heck, the only person he hurts is his brother who can survive just about anything he could do to him, and he get sentimental about things. Heck he even has a negative opinion of guns because of his own sense of honor. He may put on an air of only caring about the “ends” but in practice he shows that that’s not actually true.
That’s basically the deciding factor that makes him kind of weaker than his brother. He says might is right, but his own sentimentality gets the better of him because he tries to ignore or reject it. I bet it still does get the better of him even when he’s under Mundus’ control as Nelo Angelo. Dante overall can embrace his sentimentality instead of rejecting it and it makes him stronger. That theme is pretty common in other Japanese created stories too, so it’s not really unusual.
For video games story it should be told and understood differently.
DMC4 Special Edition is on sale, think its around $12.49
Soooo DMC5 announcement at E3 confirmed?
Who cares? Let that shit die.
Damn this is some sweet analysis. Ya’ll don’t deserve me.

Stop bringing it up. We off that, like Konami and Capcpom are off of trying to make decent video games ever again.
All these years, and I still gotta fix that for you. Don’t worry, I got you.
Nope. Not today.
What I said to Tameem up there is all you’re getting. Someone else can deal with his shit.
