Getting mad over Dante cursing huh?


Yeah, but they're forgetting how bad the script was for all four DMCs were. Go back and listen to them. Even DMC3, the 'best' one, has some earsplitting dialogue right there that has not aged well. DmC has some bad lines, sure, but the old series also had more than its share of them as well.

It's not so much as 'who's worse', as it is 'they're both pretty bad at times'. The proverbial pot and kettle, as it were.
 
1) Already said I like Borderlands 1/2 and DLC. Which has more Cursing than this game will ever have yet I liked it.
Exactly, but did you get riled up about it and say the game is immature? It's trivial to even bring up swearing because of how minimal it's a part of the game.
2) Just because you don't like swearing doesn't mean your not suited for 18+, if I was to follow that rule I wouldn't have many games. (Also I'm guna be pedantic, it's 16+ in the UK, but age ratings I find irrelevant anyway)
Rated 18

3) It's not really the fact that I don't like the content, just the way it's been executed.
But my question is, is how has it been badly executed? As for the rating again, you should expect this content with an adult audience.
4) See No.1 . Also that "Beginning to **** me off" isn't exactly overused in the scene and it fits the situation for me. If it flies over your head that he just swore it's probably well executed.
Not my point. It's that DMC4 had swearing/insults regardless of how many times they were repeated. Or to word it differently...
Does DMC4 have swearing? Yeah but not as much as DmC, BUT it still had swearing. This is nothing new to the series so why bring it up now?
5) Didn't watch it fully, but the parts I did watch all I can see is them getting technical about it. It does not change my own opinion and feelings towards the matter, therefore irrelevant.
The tl;dw version is, getting worked up about swearing nowadays is dumb. They're just words and the fact that how a word is spelled and sounded can offended someone is mind blowing. Why pretend like we don't swear/cuss/curse?

And I base all my opinions on what I have seen, I've watched hardly any spoilers. Of course I'm going to base it on how they've chosen to show me what's in the game. If the end game doesn't continue with this kind of stuff, that's great, I won't have much to be annoyed at. If they do end up doing this then It'll just be too annoying to me. It did in GTA4 actually since it became tedious. I didn't stop playing, but it doesn't change the fact that for me it was getting repetitive.
I get how that can annoy you but while the dialogue may be bad, that's only one bad point about the game. If I based a game on being 'not worth playing' based on one aspect of the game then I would also have a shorter library; and missed out on games like Deadly Premonition which have poor graphics and controls but was an awesome game to play. The dialogue might be a bad point for some but if it still generally caters to the DMC fans then it's hardly 'not worth playing'. Though I do see how it can annoy some players. You should play Bionic Commando. Swearing EVERYWHERE in that game but it's damn fun as hell.

What I don't get is why no one seems to understand that it's not the content me and many others are annoyed about, it's the execution. I'm annoyed at the writer for thinking an F' you exchange was the most compatible match for that instance. For me it had no comedic effect, nor any impact on emotions, like those exchanges were just empty filler to drag out the scene.
For me I found it as funny taunting. It's your straight forward response and just sounds funny. I mean, again, we've had this before....
You respond with the same way they talked to you. It's funny. If you don't find it funny, that's cool. But being bothered by it or saying the game is bad just seems trivial. There's SOOO much more to this game than eff you. As a mature adult it doesn't bother me because I expect that from an 18 rated game.
The context is not showing respect to the boss.

Question:
Should I only ever watch that one scene with Dante shouting "liiiiIIIIiiiight" and then base my entire knowledge/experience of the game based on that one scene?
Should I only ever watch that one scene of Mass Effects romance scenes and base it off virtual porn for virgin nerds?
 
The way you have replied makes it seem like you think I'm writing a full review. I'm simply stating opinion within the topic guidelines. N' yeah as a mature adult you would expect swearing included, I do too, but that is again completely irrelevant to the point I'm trying to reach, which is I just don't agree with usage. I don't care about the fact these words were used, it's down to the point that a simple dialogue revision could have hit a bigger audience range. An F' you exchange is nothing new (You and others have already shown that) so it's just dull now, out of fashion, lacklustre, what ever you want to call it.

Also I can't stress enough how stupid ratings are. Pegi has it as 16 on majority of the box art, a few have 18, and then BBFC has it rated as 12. It is completely irrelevant with making any point imo.
 
All I'm asking is why people get mad when Dante cuss when games like GTA make people cuss too, that's all.
I understand dude, in fact I'm right there with you, but "*smh* These fans seriously need to grow up. This ain't kindergarten. #ridiculous" sounds a little condascending. How you say something is ALWAYS more important than what you say, take it from a guy that had to learn it the hard way

You right, I may came off as an butthole but you know I've just had enough with the pointless nitpicking. Reminds me of some high school bullies or....a Bridezilla...!

I think we have all had enough of the pointless hate, I still get really tense whenever I see a DmC video posted on youtube, IGN, or any other site. I think enough is enough with the hate, but that's life, you gotta roll with the punches. Whenever I get mad at the haters I like to watch Epic Rap Battles of History. Take it as a gesture of good faith, my friend :)
 
I never seen any problem in the language in this DmC.

C'mon, everybody has cursed somewhere in their life, especially playing horror games(not the case with DmC), or when getting hurt, or just messing with some friends, is something natural(I know that some people don't, but im sure they think or feel at least.), it's one of the most agressive way of expressing our feelings(pain, anger, sadness etc), so I dosen't care much, but I wouldn't let(if I had)my 4-year-old son play this game, is just common sense.

I really like both DMC and DmC,(not sure, I haven't played the full game yet, but so far so good), but still I want a DMC 5, but without Dante at all, I want a mass prequel with Sparda!I always wanted to see his full history, how he became so powerful and how he fell in love with Dante and Vergil mother, and his war against mundus, but I feel that this would never happen, just a foolish dream :shifty:

The thing is, people who dosen't support DmC, in my opinion, is because they think that DmC has come to replace DMC, and I can't blame then, but that isn't true, capcom never said that, as far as i'm concerned, well that's my opinion!
 
The only thing I can think of when I see someone complaining about the bad language is that they must have never had cussing wars with their friends. That's what the scene with Poison reminds me of, and it makes me laugh every time. It brings back good memories.

Those that are offended by it, that's their problem. It's a mature game, states it clearly on the cover. They have been warned.
 
The cursing is completely immature.
It's also... perfect.
Think about it. Dante is supposed to be immature.
Of course he'd say highly controversial and offensive profanities, why wouldn't he?
Dante enjoys the attention, so the cursing suits him.

Besides, it's not like he'll curse during the more serious scenes. He only does it to the Demons he hates.

And people say the new Dante is mature. :shifty:

Really dude, you are being just as immature as they are.

Sure, they can't handle cursing, but it's not the cursing they can't handle, it's the fact that Dante was cool because back in the day, he DIDN'T CURSE!
I don't care what kind of character development Ninja Theory has to pull, you don't sacrifice everything that made a character good for story, if the story revolves around a rebooted version of that character.

Yet again, reboot does not mean taking out what makes the character GOOD. In fact, the majority of changes didn't really need to be made to Dante.

To the older generations, he was cool and sly, and he STILL IS to my generation, just on a more of "Hey, this guy is laid back and loves to have fun!" kind of scale.

New Dante is very cool in his own way, but he's not the same kind of cool as original Dante, thus making him a COMPLETELY different character, and not a rebooted one.
No, youre just the one spreading **** by going around with your "scepticism" but then falling back on "it's just my opinion why are you mad?"

Do you wanna know my opinion kiddo? You're just a really bad troll who thinks he's entitled to an opinion which matters. But hey, don't take it personally, it's my opinion. :) have a nice day
Oh so HE's the troll when you're the one who's only argument against me is, "This guy likes ponies, therefore his opinion doesn't matter"

It's not like DmC Dante is DMC Dante so why are people so worked up over a character from an alternate reality?
 
For me its obsolete as well, as some known profanities of DmC i had shouted in mine secondary school life time where well I been mad for having classmates as idiots ( Its only for male part of that time). So these words have nothing in mean or hear of them first time as I had already them in mine vocabulary :)
 
Getting all riled up because the main charcter of a M rated game happens to use foul language from times to times is ridiculous. No matter how you wanna put it. People should get over it already, seriously.

Let me make this straight (Again). The only reasons me and probably others have expressed their opinions here on the matter is because that is what the thread creator wanted. What you just said makes it seem like anyone with a different opinion to your own should just leave this thread alone and let everyone agree with each other and let the thread die, instead of making a debate using a different viewpoint (Something a forum is made for).
 
Making posts for the sake of seeing the reactions of other was kinda stupid, this backlashing about the original and the reboot needs to come to a stop, the game is almost out and yet everyone is just trying to find reaons to complain and start arguements. I don't support the reboot, fair from it, but your pointless thread trying to get others to flame. I've learnt to move away from these posts because those supporting the reboot and those supporting the original makes this whole arguement feel like the Team Edward and Team Jacob crap. Get over it already, and wait and see if DMC 5 will be announced then everyone will be happy.

Everyone needs to be supportive of both sides regardless of the hatred everyone has. Maybe if Capcom would state DMC 5 is coming, maybe that would quite down the fans. Until then I guess if this doesn't sell then I don't know what will happen.

Thank you. Couldn't have said it better myself.

My opinion on the matter is that people who get mad because of this kind of stuff are ridiculous and should get over it. If you feel "offended" by it well, it's your problem not mine. I didn't insult anybody and like you said a forum is made to express one's viewpoint. Nowhere did i say those who disagree with me should leave the thread. That's your interpretation. Feel free to debate about it all you want though, i already said what i had to.
 
Buying DmC and being offended at the swearing is like being offended people got shot in The Godfather. In a game about demons I'd expect profanity, lewdness, sex, violence, cruelty and whatever else. But that's me. Some other people think video games and video game characters should set a standard, especially if they are supposed to be role models or 'heroes' fans look up to or identify with

DMC has always been a game series aimed at adults, and adults should be able to handle swearing. Bad dialogue or overuse of swearing's something else.

For the LAST time, I was only asking why it's only a big deal and I stated opinion for the situation as well. And I think you should know that there won't be ANY DMC games if this doesn't sell well cuz DMC4 wasn't received well back then.

DMC4 was close to having immense sexual refernces and strong languages, so when I first heard Dante said "f*ck" it didn't really surprise me.
