Well I wouldn't want Dante to try to murder Vergil or anything. Maybe a scene where Dante has an argument with Vergil over it before deciding it's not worth it right now or getting interrupted or something. People in this thread have said Dante didn't have time to confront Vergil on it, but later he's carelessly making jokes with Vergil and discussing his life story.
yeah, in that cutscene there is literally no time for drawn out anime style conflict between protagonists, such as.......
I don't really want to turn this into a pro-life or pro-choice debate, no. I'm just saying I think that Dante not questioning Vergil for gunning down a pregnant woman is questionable for Dante.
I never said Dante should do it in the middle of the gun fight, no. But maybe instead of telling Vergil what he does in his free time he could've brought it up then.
I haven't played the game, but did Dante and Vergil even have any free time after that incident?
They have times to talk. There's a point later where they've over a comm link or something and Dante asks Vergil how he got his hacking skill and they have a good 5 minute conversation after that. Then they go on to joke about who's handsomer, more intelligent and who has the larger John Thomas.
After that it was getting out of there quickly because Mundus was destroying the city. Then they were making a plan to get inside Silver Sacks office to confront Mundus. Then he goes all transformers robot, smashes the city a bit more, then Dante and Vergil fall out. Not much time, except one part when tring to get into Mundu's office using the generators.
-each character having a backstory, (regardless of whether YOU think its good or not)
Not exactly a lot of free time though. Thinking on that, Dante and Vergil did not talk to each other during the end fight did they? Only before and after, but this could have various opinions; some people prefer fights without talking, others do.
Nah, Dante looked as shocked as ever when Vergil revealed his plan. I'm just thinking that after that "rifle abortion", Dante just thought it was a non-issue...you know, since they're alive. And Mundus is still alive.
Not necesarily a good thing. Having a bad backstory isn't better than a vague one.
These flaws are never elaborated on and at no point does the story make a point of it. So it's hardly an oh so deep character flaw.
What massive plot holes did 3 or 4 have? Even then, not having plot holes isn't some landmark feat. Some amazing stories have plot holes.
Except this isn't subtle.
No, I haven't written a story. But I don't need to be a chef to know that my food tastes bad. You did attack me, you tried to discredit me in an attempt to discredit my argument by writing me off as "oh he's just another anti hater."
You said that they didn't have time to talk about the issue, but they have time to talk about dick size?
No dude, you're making up problems. You're comparing the killing of SWAT members--guys with guns who are trained to kill and do all that dirty work--to the blowing up of a schoolyard.
Yes and he immediately reacts with shock and then attacks Dante. He only later teams up with him because you know, he figures out Santus is evil and kidnapped his girl.
How was the love plot inconsistent really? I'll be the first to admit DMC4's plot is poorly put together, and Kyrie's character is underwritten. Nero's rage scenes were tonally off, but not nearly as tonally off as demon abortion.
