It might be too far for you, but I think if NT can execute it properly it will be okay.

In my opinion, nothing is morally incorrect or "going too far" if the artist gets the tone and delivery right.

Rape is never okay in any context! There is no right way to deliver it either. Rape is rape!
People will inevitable buy this game for their kids (parents do as they assume gaming is for kids...it happens).
Can anyone imagine the uproar if people found out they included something like this?!
Swearing... fine... Dante killing himself with cigarettes... fine... rape... a step too far.

...it's a disguise...you think they're just going to show you the endgame boss' true form before the game is released? Come on, man.

Still first impression is the last impression...

well if his final form is demonic then it would be nice if he just stays human then it would be bad

I'm not a troll i was just stating my opinion and for ppl who have problem with my username they're just stupid :p who cares about the username ?

We kill thousands of people in these shooting games and they are ALL CRIMES ! Pretty dark crimes yet we are so desensitized about that but when 'Rape' comes we're all like
"OH Its show bad HIDE OUR CHILDREN"

We just dont want Dante's mother to be raped that's all. However, it will add some depth to the story.
It would make us and Dante- vergil hate mundus even more and NT can introduce a whole new level of anger, remorse and thirst for vengeance

For women, rape is a bigger threat. Yes, murder is bad enough. But in this game you're not killing people, you're killing demons. As far as I can tell that's something people would actually reward if it were real. There's also the fact that, most of the time, the deaths are quick. Rape tends to draw out. And the victim tends to suffer more afterward, if left alive. That's why it's considered worse.

I tend to agree that it shouldn't be in the game. If you think it's something that can be portrayed in a way that isn't going to make the viewer uncomfortable, watch some rape-revenge films. The House on the Left, I Spit on Your Grave, even The Hills Have Eyes would qualify. If you can especially get through I Spit on Your Grave without discomfort, and the realization of what rape does to the victim, there is seriously something wrong.

It's easier to take if it's implied and not shown. You still feel sorry for the victim, but it's not shoved in your face, you don't hear the victim scream and try to fight.

How old are you? Rape is used as a literary device in many forms of media, so why can't it be used in games?

Its all about delivery. If rape is glorified, then it should not be shown. If it used to show something greater like sadness or send a message, then it is fine.

Also, Dante doesn't smoke anymore. He kicked the habit.

And I'm pretty sure the ratings classifications are there to stop parents from buying kids mature games, but regardless, every 5 year old has seen Captain Price hang Makarov in MW3 so I don't think its that much of a stretch.

okay, ignoring the fact that you seem to think voluntary nudity (not for kids but otherwise perfectly okay) and killing enemies in war (a necessary evil) are on the same level as rape (basically the most evil thing you can do to a single person.), did you seriously just include Mass Effect's awkward nudity-free "sex scenes" (which do not involve actual sex) in a list of things you think are as bad as rape? Would you mind explaining the thought process behind that for me because I am genuinely very confused at the moment.

(Note: I don't necessarily think that including rape in a story is not an option if it fits the tone of the story and there is a good reason to include it, it's just that I'm confused by your method of justifying it (and how strongly you seem to support the idea.)

To fix a couple mistakes, it's Last House on the Left. And the main version of I Spit on Your Grave I was referring to was the original. There is no background music, so it makes it harder for you to take the rape scenes.

Well duh yeah it is also a crime... i just showed you the 'Limits' of M rated games and Rape themes should do just fine in an M rated game as long as there is no explicit act of rape shown (which would make it an AO rated game)

I'm just bothered by this topic getting into people's skin just like in Tomb raider's reboot

people should seriously think out of the box

mass effect's sex scenes were 'Implied' but not shown

You guys realize that Dante or his mother are not real persons,right?
And this is just a game.
It is not real life, its not porn movie, its just a video game story.

All the more reason why It shouldn't trivialized and used as a plot device just because "haha fiction". Most writers do not know the actual weight of the event... It is a degrading, traumatizing and triggering event that will forever haunt the victim's life and shouldn't be glorified or objectified in any f*cking (even porn) way. Most of YOU just don't seem to grasp the gravity of it. Just because this work of fiction doesn't save it from grace. I prefer rape out of a story unless it's handled WITH THE EXTREME SERIOUS CARE IT DESERVES. Period.

It's why the new Tomb Raider is pretty f*cked up in controversy, too. Seriously, my respect for you guys on this particular subject is dwindling.

FYI killing someone is also degrading,traumatizing and triggering the event will forever haunt the victim's life and it IS GLORIFIED in ALL THE violent games and we all eat it like a delicious pie and you also don't seem to grasp the gravity of murder and brutalization its because you're too desensitized by playing violent games

Either you're too young(Below 18) or you're just not open-minded enough i mean its just FICTION !

what is wrong with a subtle implication or a small flashback including rape ?

In TR actually the rapist gets his ass kicked so what's so wrong in showing that ?

No game is going to 'condone' rape its just used a mere plot devise in an M rated game

You are joking right? You can't be seriously saying this. I refuse to believe this could ever be typed as a cohesive thought.
Fiction is based in some ground of reality. They are reflections of it. Are you deliberately trying to **** me off? Because it's working.

Rape>murder Both bad. But one is way worse and it's almost never used well in fiction.

You seriously need to check yourself and never go full retard like that again.

Chill dude.. i'm just trying to say that its all just fiction and shouldn't be taken seriously its NOT REAL !!

and blood&violence is pretty dark thing in real life but in games they're fun but i'm not trying to compare murder with rape i'm just saying that in the context of game it should be alright

and perhaps you should be 18 and older to play these games anyway and suggested rape themes and plot devices are NOT offensive or to be taken seriously its just My opinion you don't have to get pi#3ed play games like silent hill 2 lol

Extremely off-topic : Both rape&murder are crimes and nothing is 'less worse' both are gruesome and immoral

Silent Hill2 only implied rape symbolically IN A VERY SERIOUS TONED GAME. It succeed because it has more than just implied rape, it was over all abuse of a child. It is also one of my all time favorite games.
For a game that is half joking around like DmC, it would look like it's jumping 500 sharks while skateboarding a tiger that shoots laser beams. Just. No. Rape jokes are not funny.
Everyone may have opinions, that doesn't mean opinions can't be ****ty or dumb and it also doesn't save anyone from having qualms against it.
Please look at the Jimquisition video and promptly shut up.

TBH you're being too rude no need to get too personal okay ? :/

As you said characters are rape victims in games like heavy rain where children are abused and brutally murdered but its just a game in form of entertainment like watching a psychological-thriller movie

DmC is supposed to be a different take then other DMC games so trying something new shouldn't be wrong remember its a freaking M rated GAME everything goes.... just a mild sub-plot won't hurt me because i would expect mature things in an M rated game

EDIT:that video shows someone's personal opinion which doesn't happen to be mine

Like I said, just because it's your opinion it doesn't make it any less crap considering the subject matter.

EDIT: Heavy Rain's plot was really bad.

On topic: I wonder what's the connection with Phineas and Mundus. He must have some sort of vendetta against him if he's helping Dante.

Mundus must have been the one who blew half of his head to smlitherins
