I'm pretty sure that was his point; namely that DmC doesn't try anything original.
because its a reboot of an already existing series, obviously its not gonna try to be the most innovative plot in existence and in terms of video game plots it actually is pretty original for being a satire on the modern world something that very few games pull off
It even comes up with a very hackneyed, drugged out hipster's world views
the word hipster gets thrown around way too much here, there's nothing hipster about the plot
bankers are evil, industry kills everything, we're all brainwashed by the media.
GASP, OH NO, SATIRE RUN FOR THE HILLS
Illuminati is such bullcrap
even though this game doesn't say anything about the illuminati, if you want to bitch about that then go play assassin's creed which btw has won several writing awards
DmC reminds him of that bull.
because he's a nostalgia fanboy who doesn't know what he's talking about
To be honest, those conspiracy type things remind me of DmC.
could it be because, GASP, there's a conspiracy satire in DmC, wow i didn't notice over the blatant references to it in the form of limbo telling me to drink virility
I don't call that a good thing.
and i don't take the idea of nero somehow being able to custom build a gun in a religious community that banned their use -_-
Especially since it takes that idea so seriously
the fact that you think they take it seriously means that you didn't see what they were going for, pretty sure dante and vergil casually talking while mundus is doing his final villain monologue is them not taking it seriously
actually makes Limbo brainwashed, in a way.
no it doesn't
I had enough of that after the Matrix, V for Vendetta, and other movies.
then why did you buy this game if you knew that they used those films for inspiration
I'm not saying DmC's plot is bad, but to say that it's better than DMC3's seems like a stretch
not it isn't because unlike dmc3 vergil is given motivations for his actions as well as a backstory so his character is actually developed ALONG with dante and kat
It isn't bad at all, it's just not something to laud.
which is why actually writing critics are enjoying it
Maybe it would be more interesting to have you or Dante
believe that people are being brainwashed
no that wouldn't make any sense but there is a fanfiction section here if your desperate
and so on, only to find out in the end that you were wrong
like i said, fanfiction forum
Sounds more interesting, and I haven't seen that idea often.
lol its been done to death but whatever floats your boat
Maybe even make it end badly, so that you can redeem yourself in the sequel.

go
I'm not sure why DMC3's plot would be anime-like.
because its extremely similar to other anime, mainly inuyasha
It's almost like stories from classic times
weren't you just complaining about DmC not being original
so I wouldn't call that anime-like
*looks at how ridiculously powerful dante is, sees him getting stabbed multiple times only to shrug it off and pull "stylish moves" out and then vergil's anime monologues about power* so yeah, i definitely would
Maybe you'd view it differently if Dante, Vergil and the other characters (and the DMC world) didn't look like anime
so you acknowledge the fact that it does look like anime
