Re: Devil May Cry (DMC4SE digital only in West; June 18th 2015)
Edit.
Okay I just beat Vergils story and at the end as he leaves Fortuna his shadow is focused on showing what looks like the specter that appears behind Nero while in devil trigger.
I guess that's a confirmation of fatherhood or that Vergil is at least tied to Nero in some way?
I don't understand why Capcom doesn't just confirm this shit.
I try to find the confirmation. This reminded me that Vergil did not really like humans after all. Hmm, gotta dug up some info.
DMC3 is so good! I have sadly only played DMC3 and DMC4, but mans those games were a blast. I even got the special edition of DMC3 were you could play as Vergil back in the PS2. It was so much fun to slay demons with Yamato.
Vergil definitely wasn't humanities biggest fan. Though I think it's an interesting debate of it being hate or just contempt for the weak.
For instance Vergil holds two items dear, Yamato, a gift from his father and the amulet, a gift from his mother. In DMC3 you get a brief insight when he rants to Dante about how if your not strong you can't protect anything. The last thing he couldn't protect was his mother, a human.
I say he hates humans out of a contempt for weakness but hates them nonetheless. It's always a good debate to see.
IMO those are the only two you need to play. I started with 4 but got the PS3 collection of DMC 1-3 and 1 didn't age well and 2 was horrible. But 3, 3 was a diddlying masterpiece. The only thing 4 did better than 3 was Dantes style combat.
The anime, which is surprisingly canon, wasn't to bad either. It shows you that Dantes views on humanity isn't much greater than Vergils.
Speaking of DMC4 I tried other characters finally AND HOLY DAMN I LOVE LADY! Overpowered as hell on easier modes but fun as hell.
I also love LOVE how costumes appear in cutscenes. Beria prototype costume looks so much better on him.
Edit 2. So with the special edition the old DMC timeline is now:
Vergils trip to Fortuna>DMC3>DMC1>Anime>DMC4>DMC2
