Don't get me wrong I like playing the game but, I don't care for the things they did. Dante in DMC 1 was cocky but also more subtle and laid back. DMC 3 he was just stupid. He was all in your face with just how dorky he can be and I wanted him to just shut his mouth half the time.
Plus, I never liked Vergil. He was just so one dimensional and boring. What they decided to do with him seriously couldn't be any more generic. It wasn't interesting. It was boring. When playing DMC 1, with the tidbits of information given to me I was able to speculate and fill in the blanks myself for a lot of things in the world and it ultimately was better than what they gave me.
I think it's like how the Star Wars prequels made people feel. People were watching the original trilogy and coming up with their own ideas of what previously happened in that universe. Then the prequels actually do come around and are just terribad and so many people wish George Lucas just left the sh!t alone because he himself obviously doesn't know why people like his series. I'm not even a fan of Star Wars but that's how I felt with DMC.
My own ideas of what happened to Vergil and all were better than just seeing the sibling rivalry from Inuyasha.
Well,in DMC3 Dante was young and for me,he seemed really..how to put it..he seemed lost,like he didn't have any idea of what to do with his life and then by the end of the game he changed and took things more seriously,and I can't say I disliked him,just how they did with NT Dante.
And for me,well,it was entertaining so I can't complain about it.Dante remains Dante to me.
I liked Vergil,I liked him because he was the type of person to be silent and straight to the point and you actually didn't know what he might think of doing next or what he has in mind, and maybe because he leaved opportunities of exploring his personality and mind a little more,me,as a writer,I do that often,even if,in the game it isn't shown,I like to explore and guess what the characters are thinking,rather than all being thrown in your face and leaving no opportunities of creating and examine the character yourself because all the answers are already answered. But that's just my opinion which may differ from yours.
I liked Inuyasha,but just because those two characters have white hair doesn't mean they're Dante and Vergil,right?
There are many family conflicts,especially brotherly one, in games,and you can't say they aren't interesting in their own way,I knew I enjoyed it,and you know,everything is inspired by something else,but it all matters how it's done.
