what's the deal with DMC 2 ? anyway i said the story was a big mess after DMC 4 and not to mention the continuity is something like this :-
> DMC 3
*Dante is inuyasha
> DMC 1
*dante is dante again
>DMC anime
*Dante is kinda like DMC 1 dante ?
> DMC Anime/4
*Dante is again inuyasha again ?
*Nero is sparda's relative ?
*Dante is just in the story because just for the sake of it
DMC2
*Something happened again and Dante is a depressed mute !?
this much inconsistency is bound to happen when you retcon a game and then release another prequel a reboot is the easiest way to fix all the story problems and character inconsistencies.
Yes, but Capcom has never expressed interest in fixing all story problems before - that's part of what confuses me about making a reboot after DMC4. Sure, it had plotholes, Nero being a large one, but even DMC fans have been able to come up with ways to explain where he came from. Aside from that, Capcom wasn't bothered at all by DMC2 having no real connection to DMC1, nor were they bothered when they decided to make Vergil alive instead of dead/abducted in DMC3. So I can't say DMC4's plotholes were the reason for the reboot (DmC).
MY Point:We should stop saying "DmC was unwanted" when it was kinda inevitable.
Why? I think that
1. Capcom could have made a DMC game that went on with Nero and gave some closure to the story of Dante, making Nero the next Sparda, perhaps letting him have children himself. The series would be coming full circle.
2. Not only could another DMC game have been made, the reboot was not even inevitable, considering most, if not all of the plotholes in DMC4 have already been fixed on this forum. It seems to be Capcom's own fault that they can't get out of their quicksand.
>The plot is the defeat of Sanctus and the destruction of the Order of the Sword
That's like 10% of the story 90% of story was mostly about nero&kyrie yelling at each other staring at each and boring romantic cliched stuff.
No, plots are fixed (as in stagnant) from the get-go. It's not what the characters individually do in the games, it's the story they play out and the ending they work towards obtaining. Call it a bad script, fine, but it has no direct connection to the plot.
>A few shouts doesn't make it a terrible game
I never said DMC 4 was "Terrible" it just isn't a good game from a story standpoint and the characters are obnoxious at best except for credo.. because he was the only character who wasn't having melodramatic seizures.
Well, fair enough. However, I can't remember any DMC game that had a truly excellent plot. Besides, criticizing DMC4 for doing nothing to advance the overall DMC story is a bit odd, considering the DMC series has never had a consistent story. DMC1 - Dante battles and defeats Mundus, the demon king/the devil, if you will. In doing so, he takes the place of Sparda as the savior and Jesus figure. DMC2 - Dante is suddenly somewhere on Dumary Island, with totally new characters. DMC3 - Vergil is somehow alive (plothole) and Dante's origins are explored a bit. DMC4 - random plot of 'kill this guy who tries to emulate Sparda' (Santus), and help bring a new-age Sparda into maturity (Nero).
