Dante's Looks Doesn't Really Matter, Does It?

New Dante old Dante, who cares what a character looks like as long as the game is good? Lets face it, if the gameplay is good, you will still enjoy it. Even if his hair might get in the way..

this is the most overused and ignorant answer used in gaming, and yes it matters it gave the game an identity of its own.
@ below why?
it's used when you know they're in the minority so they always retract to this excuse.

Game-ur5008d ago

Style is a big Part of DMC, that’s what sets it apart from other games and part of its promise, with this Zombie the appeal is dead.

You should change your site name to gaymersparadise.com. Seriously.

Lekumkee5008d ago

lol.... this is if as if they took the new Pirates of The Caribbean movie and chosen Michael Cera to play Captian Jack Sparrow. I hope this blows up in Capcoms face.

Inafune is smoking that crack lately cause the new Megaman Universe isn't looking so hot either. Resident Evil 6 better come go to it's roots and not more BS westernized Co-op crap.

jc485735008d ago

this is the reason why I hate Kratos. I hate everything about him, so it's not just his face.

Information Minister5008d ago (Edited 5008d ago )

So they take a character that we know and love for years, turn him from badass goth/punk to generic emo and somehow we shouldn't care?! Can you imagine a Chuck Norris movie without Chuck Norris?!!!

Looks and style matter! That's why most of the girls we see on movies/TV/magazines are pretty.

but his choice of weapon does.

That's your opinion, please dont turn it into a fact.

dark-hollow5008d ago

80% of DMC awesomeness is dante looks and style
So it does matter

hot-sauce5008d ago

R.I.P.

Devil May Cry
2001-2008

I'll miss you. You were one of my favorite franchises.

hot-sauce5008d ago

LOL!
' ' Japanese gaming is going waaay down hill ' '

It's only happening to games who are multi platform.

RE5.
FF13.
DMC4.

blame the xbox 360 and microsoft for this.

dark-hollow5008d ago

What the hell?
If you talk about dvd space and the graphics (maybe) I would agree with ya
But the xbox got nothing to do with the actual characters and the story

Kareshi_X5008d ago

microsoft have nothing to do with RE5 being less horror and being more action. microsoft has nothing to do with DMC4 featuring another character for no apparent reason. stop trolling. It's all capcoms.

Game-ur5008d ago

Let's not start, for once most n4g readers are united on a common issu, save this stuff for other articles.

Christopher5008d ago

Looks are very important to any protagonist.

Kratos. Super Mario. Link. Metroid. Tons more. They are identified, known, and accepted openly because of their visual elements that make people recall what they have experienced in the games.

BkaY5008d ago

its coming from DMC huge fan... :'(

peace

RIP DMC n Fuk you CRapcom

The face Features are alright It's just the hair , The weight and the Clothing that gets on my nerves. Why would they change those Iconic things like the silver hair?

dark-hollow5008d ago

Well I gotta see his ugly face all the way to the end of the game
Sooo yeah it does matter

Game-ur5008d ago

The confidence and the swagger are also missing, good point about the body weight; the skinny body and the hair make him look like a sick rooster.

Christopher5008d ago

Yeah, the emaciated stature just doesn't do it for me. That combined with the hair and attitude just makes him way too emo. Only way it would be worse is if he wore all black and had a nose/lip ring.

NovusTerminus5008d ago

As an artist, yes it matters. ALLOT. if the art is bad I won't play some games. Art means allot to me in gaming.

RIPSKATEDESTROY5008d ago

thats fair. thats actually a real answer to my question and i thank you for that

ElementX5008d ago

I'm really tired of all these Dante articles flooding N4G. Enough with everybody's opinion pieces.

RIPSKATEDESTROY5008d ago

there is alot hate on it so i thought id make one that might end it

McTrikster5008d ago

I'm not. Hopefully the creators will see how much everyone hates it and change the character back to Dante, or hell, even at least something that resembles Dante. Even Nero is better than this P.O.S.

Game-ur5008d ago

You're mistaking Crapcom for a company that cares.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC43d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos42d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga42d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer43d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey60243d ago (Edited 43d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya42d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde42d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP42d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
