Yeah...I know your intentions are good, but calling people immature and childish right off the bat is setting yourself up for a conflict you didn't mean to start. Just putting that out there...Okay, this thread is basically going to be about the many names people call this new Dante.
I have seen him been called Dino "Dante in name only" and Donte which derives from the word "don't" to show he isn't the original Dante. I can understand people giving him a sort of nickname in order to differentiate him from the original Dante, but I also find the nicknames very childish, usually because they are made by the angry fans who like to talk bad about the new Dante and the new Devil May Cry and usually in that context as well.
Personally, I just call them new Dante and original Dante, because that is basically what they are. Some say DmC Dante and DMC Dante which also clearly shows who is who. So why do others refuse to be immature and use terms like these instead of making up those childish nicknames?
Please try and keep the discussion civilized, I don't wish to start a flame war or anything like it, just a nice and healthy discussion. Thank you.
Anyway! ^^ I used "Dino" for a time because I thought it was clever. Fans that use the nicknames in a playful way like I did is fine. I mean they aren't hurting anyone. Fans that use it to be idiots are well.....idiots. Either way I don't see what the problem is. They aren't hurting anyone. If someone wants to use nicknames then let them. What's it to you?
I find that people are just way to sensitive about this whole thing. It's a game. If someone is doing something you don't like then turn away from them. Don't yell at them, insult them, or laugh at them. Just turn away. It's really not that hard and I don't see why people are STILL up in arms about a video game.
