Why in God's name is anyone letting them get away with having their Limbo look
identical to the one in Bayonetta, but with more floating platforms...?!
You know what I found odd? If Mundas has had years to dominate mankind (And he's apparently only recently succeeded, as opposed to doing it instantly because, you know,
he's a reality-warping god), why the hell would he be so unambitious as to only control the food supply with an energy drink? Wouldn't you try to control all food distribution to make humans completely reliant on your infrastructure?
Looking at that newspaper extracted from the game, his appointment was a week prior to the start of the game:blink: So what was he doing prior to that? I'm guessing building connections in the human world, building trust so that he could cause the financial crisis, then make himself look good by offering a solution. I say he caused the crisis because again there is something in that article about a load of money mysteriously vanishing, then Kyle Ryder comes along to save the day. 
And,hey, if a drink is enough to control people, why do more? Maybe there was more, like a demonic McDonlads? Instead of the 'I'm loving it' slogan then have, demonic McDonalds would be 'you will love it'.:lol:
That would have been so awesome. Imagine it; all food in each city is created from a massive corpulent demon, half covered in verdant greenery and the other with glistening meat, and he shaves his flesh off with giant knives in each hand constantly. It'd make for some great NIghtmare Fuel. When you kill him you create a food crisis inside the city and the people become more desperate, Barbas starts turning them on The Order with that much ease, and Dante has to realise that his revenge might start having ramifications beyond his control.
Yep, take away the food and people do become desperate. Now as for who they would turn on would depend. Yeah, Bob could up the lies about The Order and create a lynching mob of angry humans. But again, if D+V had destroyed all sources of food in the city, I don't know if that impact would be too much for the game. Not only would they have leveled the city by the end, but got a load of starving people to boot. If it's that situation, the humans were better off under Mundus. At least the were docile and had no idea what was going on in their happy illusion bubble.
The lack of scope goes for the other bosses too. Imagine if killing Barbas took down the entire international news network
and the internet, because he's the controller keeping it all in check. The people aren't as controlled and are more susceptible to The Order's counter-propaganda, but at the same time mass rioting starts to occur, making Dante guilty of the deaths of hundreds by proxy. He sees that Vergil is overjoyed as he sets about as many people as possible, and comes to understand how much he cherishes humanity and wants their suffering to end.
Perhaps Raptor news was a new thing just started by Mundus? What if he had to secure his places as head of Silver Sacks before he could expand his empire? So maybe his end goal was total domination of all media? But it seemed like Raptor was doing a good job. Besides, the whole city seemed like a testing ground for Mundus until he was ready to expand across the globe.
You know, stuff like this, that makes the world seem more interconnected and that the player's actions are influential. Not just deadpan exposition and zero ambiguity to the moral complexities that come with
destroying a society one pillar at a time.
