I'm sorry did we not all deal with Prototype 2's dialogue?
I'm sorry did we all not hear the cursing in Last of Us?
Anyways, all I'm saying is, people NEED something to find in order to have SOMETHING BAD TO SAY about DmC.
It's why people get mad when Dante says "F You" because it sounds real and emotional like he's saying it to THEM. They are BOB's followers. Do not pay attention to them.
Like the bouncer, did you see how he looked at Dante and not look at the list at all nor did he ask him his name? Yeah, I believe Ninja Theory threw that in there for people who don't want to see DmC succeed. The transaction between the two is much like DmC's reputation at the time. People were complaining about it and that they didn't want it. Ninja Theory and Capcom were saying "We're going with it ANYWAY!"
Then Dante the demon killer wrote that little message that said "F you" on the invitation list. They complained about him not writing his real name after KOing a bouncer with an lazy uppercut.
In a way, they are trolling the trolls.
I don't think I am one of the trolls trolling the trolls (if that makes sense) to be honest. I have said all along if it is done correctly then the swearing can work and be funny. If done wrong it would not work and be boring.
Granted I have not seen the scene you mentioned about Dante writing '**** you' on the invitation list and then knocking out the bouncer in one lazy hit but that does sound funny. To be honest though it reminds me of Blade Trinity when Blade is saved by Hannibal King in the police station when he has a Name Tag Sticker on his chest saying 'Hello, my name is **** You.' and the other scene is when Abigail Whistler has '**** you' on a doll of a baby before the doll sprayed garlic in the vampire's face.
If the swearing is used mainly like that then it will be funny.
Geez whats the big deal so we seen Dante used the f-word like 3 times? Its not like they'll have him only just spouting off f-bombs constantly. Apparently his f-bombs only happen in story cutscenes & used like how it is portrayed in most mature real life American(well most other countries) media. I've seen the DMC anime & in that he(old Dante) cursed pretty often & his cursing went up in DMC4(not f-bomb level that was Nero).
Its a rated M game that is like a rated R game in video game terms. Cursing is to be expected. Yeah too much cursing can be a problem but NT seems to be a serious & responsible story telling company based on Heavenly Sword & Enslaved so I don't expect them to be all irresponsible with it. As far as I seen all vulgarity & slurs in this game have been used in realistic & mature context(except for when he punched the voucher that was supposed to be funny & rebellious).
When someone is mad its common they'll curse as shown when Dante told Lillith "to get the f*ck down here". He was ****ed because his friend was kidnapped & is currently being tortured by the demons. He said "f*ck you" back to Poison because she said it first but mostly to be a prick. He wrote down "f*ck you" because well they had captured his friend & holding her hostage plus it was funny.
No one said anything when Nero gave Dante the finger(which is like an implied f-you).
I don't know about America but in the UK I am sure that the people who do not swear or don't swear too often outweigh the people/kids who do swear all the time.
And yes swearing too much will be a problem as it will ether put people off the game or they would not care for the story as the swearing is in cut-scenes and then they would just probably skip them missing out on the story.
I know NT is a great storytelling company (I have played Enslaved myself and it is a good game) but even a company can have it's off days which in a way worries me.
