Did anyone else feel this eerie feeling when they saw Vergil's face? I felt like I was looking at DMC 3 Dante (look to the right side of your screen). Anyway, I'm gonna love this new Vergil. The old Vergil was so...generic. This new Vergil looks like he has some depth at least.
Watch...he becomes Nelo Angelo at the end.
I'm not hating on you or anything...I can understand why you'd be worried about DmC, but...what plot? The original series's plot was 1 and 3. 2 and 4 were just...spin-offs, really. That's how I see them. Nothing about Dante's heritage, his past, or about him surpassing Sparda.
DMC2 itself barely had a plot that barely mentioned Sparda. DMC4 went all..."Sparda-who?" and gave us Nero. And we're just assuming he has something to do with Sparda because he has white hair and a demonic arm.
When your ship's broken, try to fix it. If you can't fix it, go build a new one. DmC is the new ship. Whether it's going on fair seas or just going to sink in some maelstrom is the question.
And that is my opinion on your argument.
You're wrong. Totally wrong. DMC was the greatest thing since Ben & Jerry's. And Vergil is not generic. He's a very special character who totally did
not rip off of Sephiroth, Sessoramu, and Vergil from Static Shock (come on, they both wear blue trench coats and have spiky hair...though I'm sure that time it may have been pure coincidence...still, the point stands).
Oh, and even a little from Richter Belmont (he also had a blue trench coat (in the official art work, anyway) and had a rapid-slash dash move--I say it counts.)
So yes. I'm right. You're wrong. Old Vergil rules. New Vergil sucks. :troll:
And what do you mean "sinking ship"?? A few leaks here and there....and an iceberg.... never hurt anybody! Just slap some duct tape on it like Capcom usually does and it'll be as good as new! Or DMC4. Whichever is more believable.
"Vezlid"?? More like...."Vex....lid".... because you vex ...people. (vex = agitate) And it had a very deep story! Aspiring writers of today can learn a thing or two from the paper-thin plot. Sure, you could put the whole thing on a menu at Denny's, but that doesn't mean it was anything less than spectacular. It's quality, not quantity.
And don't tell me that the old DMC series had neither, because then it would be obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about. Just let the the old fanboys like me wallow in our delusions of grandeur and we'll keep ignoring your valid, well-thought out arguments.
Honestly...
some people...:/
