No they sent multiple Lilth only refers to them as HunterS not that they sent a Hunter or the Hunter but Hunters went out to find Dante. Well even after Mundus sent the entire city in a shock, don't tell me the Hunters couldn't find Dante or when they raided the Order base some couldn't have been sent there to deal with Dante considering they knew he worked for them...as Bob stated Dante is with the terrorist (The Order).
Several Hunters were sent out, but only one happened to find him at the pier *shrug* Who knows where the others are. Dante could have been killing them off-screen for all we know, since we as an audience aren't present for the everything they do.
Would have been interesting to see them show up at The Order, but, that raid was supposed to be primarily done in the real world, as they knew The Order's ranks to be made up of humans. Hunters would be useless in a human world-side raid, since demons can't exist in that realm without a vessel.
Plus, they didn't think Dante would win the fight with Barbas, so they wouldn't have readily had the inclination of sending out a unit whose primary purpose was search and destroy, since the subject to search for is already in a known location and probably gonna get destroyed there
THEY HAD 4 YEARS making this game. You can EASILY freaking squeeze another boss like the Hunter. One could've been there when they raided the HQ or sent there as precautionary measures when they made the Trade. That easy.
Maybe, but remember how the game is intertwined with the narrative. Adding in another boss fight also means creating more animations for the confrontation, and even trying to figure out how to completely rework the Hunter's AI since he's not fought at a pier with a ferris wheel he can hang on. In reality, the locations they had a few of the events taking place at that a Hunter could have shown up wouldn't work with
how the Hunter boss is coded. That's a lot of extra work they probably didn't have time to do.
Also remember that a game's development process (the point at which things are added in and coded and whatnot) isn't going up until so close to release. A game goes gold about three or four months before its release, and in that time it's all bug fixes, polishing, and advertising.
I'm saying all the Hunters had to be the same, there could be other Hunters that were different in abilities and its the games fault for stating that they were more but only showing one when showing more would actually benefit the story wen you think about it and the game considering mobile bosses like the Hunter were neccessary cause giant punching bags (Mundus, Poison, and Bob) gets extremely boring.
I would have loved to see a few more Hunters implemented, but I'm still happy with what I got. This sorta goes for a lot of the stuff you'll say - anything more would have been great, but the absence of those things doesn't make it bad.
Maybe not but it doesn't make much sense and is a big missed opportunity.
It makes sense to me *shrug* For the specific vision they had with DmC, they only had us face one of many Hunters. It's a shame, but that doesn't make it a plothole :/
That doesn't make sense Mundus can sense it when Poison and his child and Lilith gets killed but not his other demon minions and cant he control Limbo himself as he shown to when enraged and when Lilith and his baby where killed he sent them into Limbo himself so he has control over it.
That's sorta different, because most of the demons in Limbo that Dante has been forced to fight were all low-ranking scrubs that are manifestations
of Limbo itself. A stygian is a "white-blood cell" as the devs have said, it's probably nothing to have something that small disappear, but then we have Barbas and Lilith and Poison, they were all actual lifeforms, with souls.
Mundus also shot out a gigantic blast of energy, and only Dante was dragged into Limbo. If anything, that giant blast was simply a huge overkill shot in order to make sure he pulled Dante into the ensuing chaos. It's like...he knew Dante was at the docks, so he shot out a blast of destructive energy to level the docks and pull in Dante where ever he happened to be within that area. They have Dante's "scent," so that most likely helped Mundus pull specifically Dante in Limbo during the Trade.
Mundus can definitely control Limbo, but that still doesn't make him omnipotent, or that great at controlling things he physically can't see.
I find it hard to believe that he controls everything and have cameras everywhere but he never found Dante for 10 years (maybe more) til recently even when he was trapped in one of his prisons and correction schools that he owns. Then so why was he dragged into limbo before they found him as he told Kat and the demons knew about him for quite some time and I find it hard to believe that they couldn't find a guy who lived in a trailer park on a pier and even then how can they not find a guy with a huge record was Mundus even paying attention.
Like I said, it's easy enough to avoid CCTV cameras at times, and if Mundus wasn't readily looking for Dante, he wouldn't have thought to keep such a close eye on the cameras himself. Not to mention Mundus didn't know what Dante looked like.
When Dante was pulled into Limbo, it was specifically by the demons he was confronting in his childhood, like...an oprhange caretaker, for example. She finds Dante to be a troublemaker, and Dante knows something isn't right about her. With his enhanced strength, the caretaker figures to drag him into Limbo, on her turf, but Dante, being a Nephilim, fights just fine there, and actually better since now he has access to his sword. Dante kills the demon, exits Limbo, and no one really knows what happened except for Dante.
The demons knew he was trouble because he could see through their disguises or whatever, but they didn't explicitly know Dante was the Son of Sparda their boss, Mundus, was looking for. Kat also had similar experiences, so it's not a unique occurrence for others to question the demonic presence they see and be "taken care of" because of it.
You asking about "finding a guy living in a trailer" and "finding a guy with a huge record" makes me think you believe that both of those things are intrinsically linked to standing out. Do you know every homeless bum you walk past? Do you instantly know the criminal record of everyone you meet? No. Neither of those things would also be something that instantly makes Dante prime suspect for being the Son of Sparda they've been searching for for ten years. Once again, especially because he was off the grid for so much of that time, which means even if they did know exactly who they were looking for, Dante still wouldn't have been so easily found.
Think for a second why it's so difficult for people to be found if they end up homeless and whatnot - they have no papertrail, nothing tying their identity to any one location. Why do you think so many crazies talk about living in trailers in the middle of nowhere, or why actual criminals do exactly that? Because once you do that, it's difficult to be found.
Lilith owns that club and she knows that Mundus was looking for a guy named Dante so you tell me she didn't hear Dante's name pop up once since he is so popular with the dancers there and even the bouncer. The dancers and the bouncer that all WORK for Lilith.
No, Lilith knew that Mundus was looking for a guy who was the Son of Sparda - they
did not know his name was Dante. That's why they kept referring to him as the Son of Sparda or the Nephilim all this time. They didn't
know his name until some point in the game.
Yeah I messed up there but my point still stands.
No it doesn't >_< You messed up a key element to what constructed your point, so your point was based around incorrect information.
He killed a nurse, has a huge track record of fighting the police (who look like the SWAT team that Mundus sent to swarm Order and retrieve Lilith), and is very popular among the news especially Barbas, who works for Mundus...so you tell me Mundus couldn't have spotted Dante earlier.
Once again, Dante's huge track record makes him a sh!tty Limbo citizen, but that doesn't point to him being the Son of Sparda. And Barbas didn't start his smear campaign on Dante
until they knew who he was, as in they didn't start calling him a terrorist until they knew the Son of Sparda's name was "Dante," and they and images of him. Once they actually knew Dante was the Son of Sparda, they could easily look back into his criminal record, but without knowing the identity of the Son of Sparda they wouldn't have had much inclination to do look into anyone's record.
Also, cops wearing the same uniform doesn't make them the same guys that Dante may have scuffled with in the past.
Also, most of the crap Barbas even says is a bunch of slander and lies, all meant to paint Dante in a bad light to the public. Dante didn't go around killing innocent people like his broadcasts said, and when he killed the nurse (if he did) was probably what got him thrown into Hellfire, where he then fought his way out, and subsequently went off the grid.
Yet he is constantly thrown into Limbo by demons and have fought them his entire life. Lets see not only was in one of the penitentiaries that Mundus OWNS but is quite popular among the public in a city Mundus owns.
He's pulled into Limbo by demons who see him as a problem to be dealt with, then Dante kills them, and he goes about his life. They aren't attacking him in his childhood specifically because he's the Son of Sparda, because
they didn't know he was until the game started.
Dante also is totally
NOT popular in Limbo prior to the game's start, nor is he infmaous. He's a random dude on the street, who lives on the periphery of society, who most people didn't give a second glance to. I have no idea where you get the idea that he's so popular with the Limbo citizenry.[/quote]
