Why Dante is the Worst Character Ever

GIZORAMA - I can’t stand it! Everybody loves Dante from Devil May Cry. When I ask people why they love him, they say things such as “He’s a hunk” or “He’s really cool.” Well, I’m here to tell you folks that he, in fact, is not cool. He’s the most obnoxious character on the face of the earth! Here's Why Dante is the Worst Character Ever.

I agree. I tried playing through each of the three DMCs and found Dante's personality to be too immature for me to get into. He has a few moments that made me chuckle but a lot of times I wound up finding myself just being like "Really?". He isn't anywhere near the worst character ever, but he is a very unlikable one for me personally.

We saw what happened when they changed the main character of the series of trying and appeal to the "mature" sensibilities of people like yourself. The result was a train wreck. Literally hundreds of games are released every year which are designed from the ground up to "safely" fit within the precise tastes of you people, to even have one game series which dares to be itself is too much for you though isn't it?

Why can't game characters be fun? Why does everything have to be so serious? Dante is the embodiment of your potential within the Devil May Cry game system, the way he constantly trolls the enemies is exactly what you are doing once you attain a decent standard of play. It fits so perfectly.

But it's not about that to you people is it? Gaming is a passive "experience" which you sit through and wax intellectual about the plot and character development. There's no room whatsoever for slaying hoards of demons with completely bonkers weapons while verbally belittling them is there?

Maybe you need to re-read my comment. By your logic, me finding Tidus to be whiney must mean I hate games like Final Fantasy X. I enjoyed the game and beat them, but I could not get into Dante's character and found him immature. I played the new DMC, and I thought the new Dante is even more immature than old Dante. I'm fine with taunting and trolling the enemy, I'm not fine with his overall personality. Nowhere did I say that there is no place for games like DMC, I simply said I personally did not like Dante. There is a VERY big difference between the two statements.

Instead of jumping down my throat for disliking one character you do like and making false accusations about me personally, how about you calm down and stop making baseless assumptions. It might make you look like less of a jackass.

If you were to look at my library of well over 300 games you would see that gaming is hardly a passive "experience"; it is a major hobby and passion of mine. I love completely bonkers games just as much as very intelligent games, me disliking a single character does not prove otherwise.

The writer of this seems jealous of Dante. Innocent whale? You mean the one that had a school bus,a plane and an army of demons in it's guts? You want him to have a wife and kids? Go play Heavy Rain. Cocky? Yep because we all would be if we could do what he does. Self loving? Play the games again and pay attention next time. Dante has a good heart going so far as crying after Virgil's defeat in DMC3. Seriously did you even play Devil May Cry at all?

Haha this was interesting to read >,< I admire his sex appeal.

WeAreLegion4456d ago

The author was just having fun with it. I don't think he actually thinks Dante is the worst character ever. Dante's freakin' awesome!

zerocrossing4456d ago

Tell that to Capcom... Seriously though, we need a DMC 5 or at least a reboot with OG Dante and a competent director.

GreenRanger4456d ago

DMC1 Dante > DMC3 Dante > DMC4 Dante > DMC2 Dante > Fred Flintstone > DmC "Dante".

Hey, aren't you selling Fred a little short, there?

Capcom says it wants Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney to be 'core IPs' like Monster Hunter

Sorry if you were expecting Bionic Commando.

ZeekQuattro159d ago

Actions speak louder than words. Show me a new Mega Man game that isn't a collection of games I played yesteryear. If they can churn out some kind of RE game every other year they can make a new Mega Man entry. It's not like it's known for its deep stories.

Christopher158d ago

I can see DMC, but the others just weren't built for that without some major adjustments on how they're played.

lukasmain158d ago (Edited 158d ago )

If they make the right choices and right kinds of games, the Mega-Man IP could potentially be made into an animated film or streaming series like the success of Mario and Sonic. Surely that thought may have crossed their minds? Or am I being silly? I mean there is a lot more water to go under the bridge for them to even start considering that. But I used to be a big mega-man fan back in the day. I'd love to see it happen.

It’s being done on purpose just to destroy inafune . It’s some pride stuff on the inside .

blacktiger158d ago

all talk and if they launch it will cost $200

shinXseijuro158d ago

Just like the guys said . I’ll believe it when I see it . Even the shareholders are asking questions regarding Megaman . I don’t want to sound ludacris but I have a strong conviction that the heads at Capcom are purposely holding the Megaman IP down because of their grudge and spite towards inafune on some deeper Japanese honour code stuff . It’s deeper than we think . You can tell something isn’t right .

VersusDMC158d ago

Well i hope DMC is being worked on. Either a remake of 1 or 6 will do.

And bring back Megaman X. Either regular, command mission or make it a Metroidvania since silksong is so popular.
