I actually liked Nero. Sure, he started off as a prick, but it never felt as if whoever wrote his character was trying too hard to make him cool and bad, like with Donte. Not to mention that his behaviour and distrust are well grounded and understandable. In addition, once he grasped the reality of the situation, he became more likeable.
I'm not even mentioning he was really fun and play with.

Though, his story wasn't to my taste - the whole "give me back my girlfriend" drama didn't really fit to DMC in my opinion. It was too cheesy and cliché, as opposed to the usual over-the-top not too serious action.

Chaos2Frozen · 2013-01-31, 04:35

I've never thought of Nero as a prick in the beginning, more like a smart mouth punk- See his cutscene with Berial's intro

Plus right off the bat we see that he has a caring side, no need to wait till half the game is over.

EDIT: Nero's devil trigger is also cooler. Though he doesn't exactly transform.

Nero was supposed to turn into a demon, but due to the game being only 40% finished it was cut and instead we get a half ghostly figure of what was supposed to be Nero's devil trigger.

Looked pretty badass.

They could've used that problem to their advantage though. Their writing just seemingly fell apart. Especially when it was announced Nero was Vergil's son.

How old was Dante and Vergil during DMC3? I was under the impression they were 18 or something

demino_hellsin · 2013-01-31, 06:11

18... yeah... >.>

It's Japan. You know how they practice safe s- *gets run over by a car*

Chaos2Frozen · 2013-01-31, 07:01

Well whatever it is, I'm more inclined towards a possession explanation than a secret child

Plus that would imply that Vergil had feelings for a human girl...

demino_hellsin · 2013-01-31, 07:49

That or he got ra- *Run over by a stampede of feminists*

But it was Vergil that got ra- *Run over by easily offended and overly sensitive people*

Tong · 2013-01-31, 10:15

Nero was a very likeable character despite not being The Dante protagonist.

You just can't hate the guy, he's natural and is a nice (though, sudden and unexplained) addiction to the series. Biggest complaint I hear about DMC4 is Dante's path being only a backtrack.

But yeah enough, we're all beating on a dead horse regarding DmC lol
Let's hope Capcom doesn't destroy another good franchise, like Onimusha.

Kyero Fox · 2013-01-31, 14:55

Where was it announced Nero was Vergils son?

Vergil liking a human girl isnt impossible he loved his mother like crazy, thats why he went mad with power lust. She didnt need to be human btw. She could be a demon too sparda had a human form... its not for human/demon half breeds.

Didn't they render that novel to non-canon?

DingoEnderZOE2 · 2013-01-31, 15:16

Plus it was NEVER mentioned in the game who Nero's father was so as far as I'm concerned it's non-canon.

Tong · 2013-01-31, 15:23

Well, I had to say that...

The novels are canon to the DMC series, except for the first one that was rectoned, but still holds the same origin. Even the anime is canon.

As for Nero being Vergil's son

http://www.capcom-unity.com/carbo/bl..._unfortunately

Yep 18-20 year old per-marital sex. He was probably seeking power and ended up in Forutuna and found a girl, left her. This is too similar to Wesker's son, Jake is cool and all, but haven't we've seen this before? DMC4.

No wonder he's called Uncle Dante.

They just better bring back the horror and not a shooter game or a half assed shooter like RE:ORC.

"Face palm" Where is aspirin when you need one. Seriously, if Resident Evil is next for a reboot what next Phoenix Wright. They're surely running around with their heads cut off if they're resorting to this.

I heard that they were a DMC4 prequel novel that was sold in Japan about Nero, The Order of the Sword, Ascension Ceremonies, and how it'll lead up to the events of the game. I hope they have a English version so I can order and read it.

Like I said before dude, they say that Survival Horror isn't "profitable" anymore and they needed to branch out to a new fanbase. They just don't know what to do with their franchises anymore at this point.

kenjiharima · 2013-01-31, 19:31

Yeah right and Keiji Infuane said fighting games are dead. Then they release SFIV What a bunch of hypocrites Ca$hcom are... =_=

Anyways the original

I'd support and RE reboot if only because the series ended for me at 5. The last wesker clone just living and not doing anything was fine by me. Let the supposed superhuman lead a normal life for the love of God.
