Ok, so here's the thing. The trailer starts and that mask looks dumb
I don't know if it's Vergil or not, 4chan guy says it is, he even says he wears that black coat; anyway, he looks dumb and sounds stupid, the dialougue was not impressing but it was hardly painful. But then... There is a bouncer not leting him in... Are you kidding!!??? that guy was ether going to get punched or round housed or kneed at the groin, it was such an obvious sceen it hurt.
Then you get to the club, fine, not really something I'd expect at a DMC game but that's the way they want to go, but then pops out the giant roach and Dante deliveres this stupid line of dialougue that is just delivered so poorly it makes my eyes roll. Which leads to the fighting, which is the same as the other trailers but with more lights and zoom ins to ke it look diferent which is not and to mee dressing up the gameplay is a bit of slap and too many games do it to make the game look better than it is and it's just BS.
Then we get to the tree and the DT which seem fine but I have my issues with the DT and I've said it all before.
Then Mudus turns up and he isn't a demon, he a f'in' mafia lord. He's got the additude of a damn thug and not the one of an ancient evil. Not impresses. What kind of ancient demon dresses and talks like movie though guy?
I'm with you 150% on that, the mask does look dumb.
That scene was obvious obvious, but what made it a little different is Dante putting his name on the list himself. I dunno bout you but that was pretty funny to me, and it beats the cliche of the bouncer usually getting knocked out or run over or tricked so the people can sneak into the club, y'know?
Plus, how would you not expect a club in a DMC game?
There's mention of clubs in the manga, and in DMC3 Dante goes through a bar (an empty bar but a bar/pub nonetheless) so if there's mention of prostitutes and booze in the original series, and Dante's constant 'party' lines, why would you be surprised to see an actual club in the game? Unless you've never been into the manga and novels and anime, I can see why it wouldn't make you think 'DMC' when you see the club scene. But still, NT followed through with Capcom's 'hints' that Dante is a party animal. I'd say Dante fits in a club scene.
Also, you have demons chasing after Dante through churches, so what's wrong with a roach attacking him at a club?
Oh. And everything Dante generally says is lame. If it bugs you so much, you could do what I do and play the game with the sound off. Really, DMC3 Dante was irritating with his cheesy-I-wanna-be-cool jokes, and as far as I'm concerned, him saying the 'demon killer' line is way better than his 'adios' and 'didn't your mother' lines in the previous games.
As for the rest of your rant, I can't follow what it is you're trying to say. It's a demo, we didn't get to see the whole fight with the roach so how you can say they're trying to make it look better than what it is.....? I dunno, I'm sorry I'm just not following.
And about Mundus. Definitely not what I pictured. Yeeaaah I'm a bit taken aback about his appearance as well, I was expecting more. With that said, it is in keeping with the theme NT is putting into the game and I'm sure we'll face off with Mundus' true form at some stage in the game. Two worlds, remember? The fake one and the real one where Dante kicks demon butt?
That aside. Mundus dressing up like a movie tough guy? What about Dante dressing up with a clownish coat and cowboy boots in DMC4? What kind of 'hero' dresses like a weirdo?
