Does anyone think we will be able to "relate" with new Dante

One of the things I enjoy most about characters, is when they have troubles or features I can relate to.
New Dante so far seems to not have this, but I was just wondering. Relating to a character means they are going through or have gone through something similiar to a situation you can recall going through. Usually the companies will just make it so that the character had a horrible life so that the gamer feels sympathy for them rather than relates to them, that is the easy (and lame) way out if you ask me. The first character I ever related to, was completely by accident

According to Valve he had older brothers who picked on him, toughening him up and while his upper body strength isn't the best, he is by far the fastest.
  • Grew up with older brother picking on him
  • Speedy
  • Arrogant
  • Makes one liners
  • Taunts his opponent
  • Tends to say the word "frikkin" alot
 
Dante is a smoker, I'm a smoker. That's about the only thing I can relate to Dante. I don't even like pizza or strawberry icecream that much. XD
But if we are speaking in general terms, about how human Dante's personality and background is like contra being an immortal son of a demon who can survive a freaking sword through the chest several times (one for each game), then I can already see more things in the new Dante than original Dante. As long he doesn't cry out some b!tch's name (*cough*Nero*cough*) and stays cool, then I'm happy. ^^
 
I can relate to him because i love pizza,sundaes but in the same time i like hardcore stuffs.I also experienced the feeling of being a loner and having a hate into my society(Which this hate still does exist to me)
 
Lol, I can't relate to the old Dante much personality-wise, nor too many other ways. He is a fun-loving, loud, overpowered party animal and I am not. About the only thing I have in common with him is that I agree nasty demons would deserve to be sealed for picking on weak humans.

The new Dante... I don't know. I think they are trying to tell us he's had some horrible experiences at the hands of humans AND demons and that he's probably ready to take it out on anyone in the way. Maybe he starts out as a bit of a rebel/delinquent and wises up through the story? I suppose I could relate a little easier to a misanthropic-turned-wiser Dante. But I've no idea what they have done to his personality in this installment.
 
I get laid on a regular basis. I like that the new Dante obviously does too. Finally a character who doesn't suffer from Tenchi Muyo disease. I know the vast majority of my peers in the anime and gamer community don't loses their virginity 'till thirty-three, but geez! Don't bash characters for actually f#cking!
 
I can relate to Dante, because I enjoy talking down to people. :D
NuDante fullfilled this identity concept already, by diminishing the worth of church, authority and the mainstream.
Yes, he seems very forced edgy, but on the other hand, his older incarnations were forced cool, so it balances out quite nicely.
You want to do something original, you always end up doing the clichè. It's always been like that.
Enslaved was(,imho,) a masterpiece of storytelling, yet all characters were over-stylized stereotypes (monkey the big naive protector, the chick as devious, yet inherently good vixen etc.).
 
New Dante seems more real then old Dante. Clasical Dante seemed extreamely cocky and full of himself (Not saying that's bad, I love that about him.) However, his life seemed too perfect. There seemed to be small problems but Classical Dante seemed to have had not much of a problem. If New Dante fought some of classical Dante's enemies, it would have been the most actiona packed, bloody, destructional battle of his entire hybreed life, but for Classical Dante, it would have been another regular day. Here's what I mean:

Classical Dante
Dante_5.gif



Pros: A demon slaying, pizza eating, devil hunter who's half devil and is with beautiful girls as well. He's considered a good looking, egotistical good guy who is always helping humans in need and even gives them free bees on his jobs. He's pretty much a God with the skill and power he has that no one can even defeat him after he killed Mundus, and no one could stand up to him at all. He's also tall and handsome and is seriously powerful because he's half demon. He gets these powerful weapons and travels around the world (Even though he's in serious debt) to have fun, doing his job.

Cons: He's always in debt, and sucks at gambling. Pluse he get's impaled with a sword all the time. (Though this is a pro since he can't die.)

New Dante

Pros: He's a rebellious Anti-hero who lives on the edge for his entire life. He's been tortured by demons for a long time and doesn't even know his own mother. He's half demon and half angel, having angelic and demonic weapons. He tries to come to terms with who he is, but (Like DMC3 Dante) He chooses to just have a little fun first with his revenge while also being known as a "sexual deviant" since apparently he gets laid, but throws the women to the side. (Izaya-like LOL). He's dragged against his will into Limbo and has to fight the demoms who inhabit the world along with the world itself. Plus Mundus is back for revenge as well.

Cons:He lives (Lived) in a trailer and is branded a terrorist in Limbo and the real world. No one likes him and he's constantly attacked with no end at all. Not at the refined level of swordsmanship as his Classical counterpart, but makes up for it in brute force.

Like Both, but I feel more with new Dante with what I've seen so far, however it's too soon to tell fully. At least this new Dante says more then just "D*mn"
 
All i can say is this new dante is the closest to DMC 3 dante's personality wise.
Now i need to for them release the damn game already so i can love 100% NT's dante.
 
I've never related to Dante as a person. Likable and relatable are not a hand in hand thing. I've said it before but people kept insisting that it helped.
 
Sexual behaviour that falls under illegal miscundoct of inapropriate sexual behaviour such as rape, public nudity, inapropriate public displays, or/and so on.
 
hmmm...
Classic Dante: Pizza, Strawberry Sundaes, drin- ummm...scratch that >_<, aaaaaaand swingin sumthin that could kill someone if not careful

Nu Dante: ****es ppl off, foul mouth :D, aaaaaaaand swingin sumthin that could kill someone if not careful

Verdict: Idgaf, Dante's Dante :troll:
