I promise that when it's daylight and i'll post about stuff like this I'll articulate and you'll be able to agree/disagree/enjoy/whatever it
Can DMC and DmC coexist? Defending both sides.

Cursing isn't meaningless. It can add punctuation to dialogue (matter of opinion of course)^_^
He says f--k you once to the succubus, and she started it with the 'who the f--k are you?'. I'm guessing she swore just to emphasise her disgusting nature or something like that.
Dante on the other hand only seems to swear when he's in a corner or stressed. Besides, I've heard children on the train say so much worse than him this morning. >_<
on a lighter note I always thought this video was hilarious.
Warning: explicit use of the word ****.

and now this thread is gonna turn into macabre the pseudo intellectual who is somehow capable of defending never dead, "critiquing" (in his mind he thinks he knows how to write despite probably never taking a college level creative writing or art of cinema and narrative class) every aspect of this game saying everything about it is objectively bad because he is able to use big words obtained from google -_- i know i'm no white knight or saint (and trust me i don't try to be) but honestly its annoying and derails the thread

:lol: I remember finding that when I was a teen. See, the word is useful. And anyone who thinks swearing is indicative of a lesser mind, well f--k them:lol: Everyone needs a good swear once in a while to let off steam; like if you get hit in the nuts or something totally painful >_<

It's based on personal taste, but the nature of New Dante's repartee is more spiteful than charming. Part of the Classic series's charm was the kitsch, and by trying to reboot the franchise to be more realistically grounded with a more relatable protagonist, New Dante's pithy one-liners feel out of place and uncomfortable, in addition to being lazy and bad natured.
It's like how when people insult people they don't know by saying that they're probably fat and smell bad, you know? It's uncreative and paints them as being really shallow.
And when the character behaving this way is meant to be the audience surrogate we're supposed to identify with...well, it's an inferred insult to the player.
Daw, thanks for the blog hit man. I'll cherish it forever.
Lightning is the development team's waifu. They can't understand why most people don't like her, so they're going to make sequels until everyone submits or they kill the company.
And if they don't knock it off, they will meet mai Raiful.

Okay,i'm too tired. leave it to this guy to articulate my opinion since I agree with most if not all he says.It's based on personal taste, but the nature of New Dante's repartee is more spiteful than charming.

i curse somewhat frequently, yet i take AP level creative writing and writing analysis classes, anyone who has ever read on writing well knows that swearing is not at all a factor in the quality of a novel, game, or movies writing, ESPECIALLY if you are gonna pretend like you know how to critique something, which i do on a daily basis in my classes

You do love flaunting your work in college, don't you chief? Tell you what, try writing a review of DmC that fully describes exactly why you think it's a great game without mentioning the fan outcry meta-drama surrounding it, and try not to use all caps.
I'd legitimately like to see it, if you have time of course.

I'll take bad natured over the 'hell gate sex' description any day. >_< Awkward....
It's like how when people insult people they don't know by saying that they're probably fat and smell bad, you know? It's uncreative and paints them as being really shallow.That's the idea. The guy has no verbal control switch at the start. He got dumped in an unstable envieronment where that kind of language was the norm. It's rubbed off on him. Okay, this is speculation, but it would make sense. It has been proven in the story that he has been to prison, plus demon child care homes and youth detention. Thos places are full of cussing.
And when the character behaving this way is meant to be the audience surrogate we're supposed to identify with...well, it's an inferred insult to the player.I'm a female, and even though Dante's male, and some would say females would be unable to relate to him- I do. Okay, this is personal opinion, but you get the idea. ^_^ Not every player is insulted, some are amused by him, some indifferent. There's a whole spectrum of reactions players can have to this new Dante.

He's right. just because you disagree with him doesn't make him wrong.
Not saying you're wrong either,arguing over opinions is stupid anyway,

I'd hate to see what would happen if this wasn't on a forum, but on a street where we all lived next to each other. Let's welcome chaos! :lol: The street would be nuked in seconds with an epic flaming war.
