So did DmC why can't fans just like it ? just because it doesn't continue the highly inconsistent/convoluted of original games ?
>How did DMC4 ''jumble up the mess'' when it simply had a new plot, as every DMC game has had
You're saying as if its an acceptable norm for DMC games to have disoriented story arcs
If it was Capcom's intent to give each DMC a different plot, then yes, it is acceptable. People can't demand that all games have ONE consistent story. If they want to make every game have a new plot, that's their business. Should I just go hate on MGS V because it most likely won't expand the story of the previous MGSes, or add anything meaningful to it? No.
>The series had been inconsistent up to DMC3, so I don't see why DMC4 would suddenly tip the scales.
So you're saying its perfectly acceptable to continue this messy storyline rather then rebooting it for a clean start ? that's a no brainier if you ask me.
That was not what we were discussing. We were discussing that DMC4 killed the series, which I don't believe is true for one second.
Anyway, It's been a while since I posted that, but I think I was saying it's too late to reboot it. There have been four games that at least established the world of DMC, its characters and much more. If they want to throw that all away and restart the series, fine, but I won't accept that and won't buy DmC or other DmCs. You don't make up for past mistakes by doing good deeds in the present. You can't shove somebody off a cliff and invite him to tea if he survives.
>Not necessarily; it could be a new plot again, or one that tells of how Nero becomes like a modern-day Sparda
Again when does it take place after DMC 2 ?? see that's the deal you can't escape the plot of DMC 2 no matter what.
Again, Capcom (or at least the makers of DMC) do not acknowledge that DMC2 is part of the series. Heck, it can take place in the year 3000 for all I care. After the business with Nero? Sure, why not.
> why they decided to stop making DMC games is a mystery to me
It can't be any more OBVIOUS the storyline is a jumbled mess.. they don't want to deal with DMC 2..the end for DMC series.
If that's the only reason for it, then they would've stopped after DMC2 or maybe after DMC3.
>But if they don't have any ideas left like I argued two lines above this one, how will they continue the new series (DmC)?
The story of DMC 1-4 is a mess they don't want to and can't fix it simple reboot is an easyfix for the story
But they just added Mundus and Vergil again. Are they going to make the same mistake as before? And is anybody interested in a story of Dante vs Vergil that's possibly only slightly different than in the DMCs? It's like reheating something that you just dropped in dishwater.
>They haven't acknowledged DMC2 as a Devil May Cry game
If you look closely you'll see there is a DMC 2 logo in the middle that's an offical confirmation that DMC 2 is a part of the series.
Yes, I noticed that, as I have played the HD Edition.
And yet, they said they don't acknowledge it. And even if they do, then what? Proof that the series should have ended after DMC2, not DMC4?
>I think what they need to do is make one last DMC game that goes on with Nero and ends his story
I don't CARE about Nero he can go die in hell DMC was always about Dante and ended with Dante.
Well, nobody cares that you think he can go die. When they made Nero, it became about him (and Dante, for a part). If that was a mistake, they shouldn't have made that mistake. Simple.
>Nobody really cares about what happens in DMC2, anyway; it's like a side story.
Are you kidding me ? DMC 4 WAS A SIDE STORY ! it was an interquel not a sequel.
They both are, if the creators had their way. DMC2 wasn't even made by the people who made DMC1. End of discussion.
> That way, DMC does come full circle: a new Sparda has arisen, perhaps new twin demons will be born, and Sparda's legacy will continue
No offense but that sounds like a horrible fanfic.
I didn't ask for your opinion. This is how good stories work. There is a beginning, a middle part, and a conclusion. In the case of people following in Sparda's footsteps, this would at least be a very satisfying ending.
If you don't have anything to say that's not hurtful, then don't respond. Anyway, it's got to be better than that awful dialog script of DmC: 'I will rip out his heart... etc etc' And Vergil explaining the history of Sparda and stuff... sounded like he was reading from a terrible book. No offense intended, just criticism toward the game.
>considering Vergil was suddenly alive even though he had been missing since he was eight
He also returns in the novel as gilver and that's not a continuity error by a long shot.. the way the game changes protagonists and personalities with every game is the real inconsistency.
I don't go by what any novel might say. Gilver does not exist in the games. DMC1 showed Dante having a flashback to the time when he and Vergil were young, chasing each other and whatnot, as if that was the last time they saw each other. That was when he was 28, ten years after DMC3. That's a continuity error, like it or not.
>But Capcom has never seemed interested in rebooting the series for the sake of creating a consistent story that goes from point A to B without detours
You're a capcom employee ?? you know what they were interested in and what they weren't ?? i'm pretty sure someone in the capcom HQ would've said "Fu*k it ! just reboot the damn thing!"
Seriously? I know they weren't interested in rebooting it (at least not at first) because they made two games after DMC2, both not really expanding the overall story, or rebooting it.
>most if not all of them can be fixed
You're welcome to find a way to fix DMC 2's storyline. with DMC 4's.
Who knows, maybe I'll create a thread about it. But I doubt anyone would have anything good to say about it, just like you don't like Nero and feel the need to express that in every thread. Besides, it's not my job to fix Capcom's problems; they should be able to do that themselves. I won't go into this further, because I don't want to risk a flame war. At some point, somebody will react too emotionally.
