This whole topic is stupid if you ask me. Not saying the person making it is stupid but that it's a discussion thing. I will elaborate on why i find it stupid. I hope noone finds me rude for being honest:
- It's a reboot character, if he took drugs, ate pie, was sucidial it doesn't matter.
- It's rated M for mature, so adults are mature enough to know that smoking isn't a good thing. And it's a fictional story, so a adult won't see DmC Dante smoking and say "I am going to smoke too!".
- There are people who live better lifes than those who don't smoke (just saying). But that still does not mean smoking is good. (Not that it has anything to do with "For" or "Against" smoking discussion).
So if anything this topic will just become a topic of why smoking is bad, and not if DmC Dante should smoke or not. Because again: it doesn't matter what you or i think - it's a reboot character. It's not DMC Dante, if it was then we could discuss that.
All logic in me tells me that it doesn't matter a **** i think. If i dislike DmC Dante smoking i can go punch myself because he's a reboot character, and the story is fictional and for mature gamers.
What you can discuss however is if it's ethical right to make DmC Dante a smoker knowing that kids will probably get their hands on the game despite it's 18+.
Call of Duty (notice M rating):
I gurantee you i have heard many kids voice when i played this game.
