Personally, I don't like him, but I'm curious as to what the wider community thinks.
Agreed, it felt like they didn't age him between 4 and 5... I was fine with him being immature in 4 because he's a teen, but in 5? That's an adult....such a whiny little baby, was hoping he had grown out of that since 4 but nope
Shame too as his voice actor is far more talented than the lines an
Same. Still waiting on that ladytrish game....His concept art was interesting but I didn't click with the final product.
I don't mind retiring Dante and creating a new lead. I just don't feel Nero worked for me in the two entries he's been in.
I rather they retire him and start fresh with a new cast of characters seperate from the Sparda family drama.
I think he was actually quite different from DMC3 Dante in 4. For one, he has a girlfriend XD, and he was distinctly more emotional. Not a bad thing, I think he had some potential... if they matured him at all between 4 and 5.The Nero from DMC4 was a cheap DMC3 Dante, a character cocky, sarcastic, energetic with some itself incarnation like rude and foul-mouthed. A bored protagonist and future face of DMC series.
The Nero from DMC5 is ok, he has a little of development, a personal caracterization and not a copy of his father/uncle.
True, true. Hell hath no wrath like a gamer who's special guy isn't in the next installment.The problem is if Dante or Vergil(because now is alive) aren´t going to be in a hipotetycal DMC6, the rage of the fandom will destroy Nero and the game per se (in the reveal trailer of DMC5, some people didn´t watch the final scene with Dante on Cavaliere and they started to insult the game)
You can probably tell by my layout how I feel about Raiden...I didn't have a problem with Raiden taking the spotlight in MGS2, so I'm open-minded enough to accept him as a protagonist in DMC4.
I actually liked the idea of a "grab" move in a DMC game and welcomed him.
Do we even know if Nero is going to be in it?It's a fresh new take so they could write a version of Nero that I might like.
