Virgil, despite being an incredible cliche'd character in media terminology, is not a dull character.

Virgil brought something to the DMC series that it was desperate for, an equal to Dante. Everything Dante comes across its a strig of one-liners and then bim-bam-boom its dead. Virgil was the exception, the only person (excl. Sparda) of which Dante KNEW his life was one the line against.

Yes, he is Dantes opposite, yes its been done a million times..lol Evil Twin! But, Virgil is a great character he add's depth to the Sparda ancestry and adds a whole new side to his bloodline.

Virgil is a fantastic character, remember this is a video game, you have to live with the baaad cliche's and enjoy them, because Virgil Rocks Baby! :D
 
Evil Twin :lol:

But seriously... I just love Vergil so much ;) He's such a great character... The way he acts, and how he handles a fight... In so much style, and doesn't need to come up with witty one liners like Dante.
 
I didn't think Vergil was dull at all. If anything, I would have said that everyone and everything was dull in comparison to Vergil. :P

/fanboy
 
^ Good to hear devilmaycry :)

I'm glad most peeps think he is awesome... Coz he is :lol:

Fanboy too ;)
 
Yeah :lol:

He's alongside Darth Vader :lol:

Vader: Vergil... I am your father.

Vergil: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Sparda is you idiot :lol:
 
i like Dante better than Vergil but only b/c he has only been playable once...personality wise i like the cocky shyt it puts a smile to my face....i think i feel more sympathy for Vergil than anything...they both experienced a great loss but i think Vergil took it harder than Dante and has had to go through a lot more in the demon world...Vergil is BA you can't even associate the word dull with him
 
I love Virgil, but don't you think his charecter type (the dark anti-hero, all cold and cool)has been done many times before?
 
^ Yeah... But it had been done MANY times before Vergil, so we "the people" should be use to seeing it.
 
That's like saying "Haven't The Beatles done 80% of all possible tunes ever?"

It's an accepted fact, yet, in examples case, people still make music, and there are always people who will love it.

As is the case with characters like Vergil, it's been done before yes, quite often infact, but there are people who will always still love it, it's also the same with Dante, he's a generic, cocky badass. but people still love his character.

Vergil will never be a dull character, because if people call him dull, they're calling 75% of antagonists in the last decade dull, which just isn't true, look at the fanbases.

Well yes, basically every character to date has been rehashed and done, I'll give you that much. But calling one dull does not necessarily mean you're calling the rest of the flock dull as well. Likeability/criticism of said character and his personality also depends on the plot and his motives. (provided the motives and plot differed)

This is what makes some these said rehashed characters to totally ('totally' is pushing it, but just to emphasize the point I'll leave the word as that) changes, and sets these generic character apart from each other. So no, calling one dull doesn't (necessarily) make another generic twin dull.

That said, I don't really get the hype over Vergil. He's a sultry collected badass who wanted power, but that's about it for me.
