I'm not an Apex player but it's hard to argue these animations for loot box opening aren't art.
My brother in Christ you just called gambling slot machines to be "art"? :|

Art is a dead word. What cultured organization of man has the authority to course correct mouth breathing retards when they make statements like glorified digital CCG pack openers are art?

If you're told to make something
He told was to make RE4 but was under no specific guidelines other than "it had to be spooky"
When the project naturally progressed towards something Mikami didn't approve as a sequel, he was them told to make a new IP
you don't get a second shot until you prove you can reign your shit in again.
Who gives a shit?
It was a massive success and started a whole genre
And how exactely is pulling out from a sequel someone that already has experience and clearly a knack for this sort of project, and replacing him with a nobody (even to this day we don't know who was the guy that directed most of DMC2 until Itsuno was dragged out of his arcade games to replace him) is going to benefit your company?
It was because of things like this Capcom lost all those devs at the begging of the 7th gen
Most DMC spin-off media never made it to the West ... So ultimately fans didn't like it because they weren't exposed to it
The books were translated all the way back in 2006 and people were making references to Tony Redgrave and sharing the books .pdf on /v/ and /vg/ even before the release of DMC4SE
So yes the fans liked it, the fans even liked the anime if even just for ruben laugdon and the theme song
One liners doesn't stop Dante being serious.
And serious moments doesn't change the fact that as a character he's a chill guy with a devil may care attitude
The second that garbage started playing I switched to actual DMC music
Whether you like or not is irrelevant
Ever since 3, the theme songs reflect the characters of series
He embraces his demon side in DMC3 when he unlocks his DT.
Embracing means making an conscious choice and fully accept
He didn't embrace shit, he inadvertedly awakened his DT out of rage and hatred
He despised weakness not being half human.
He saw his Humanity was weakness, that's why he cast it out and split himself into Urizen and V
Sparda gave Dante the power to absorb devil arms into himself
The Sparda awakned his full demonic power
Nico's Character Report - Dante - Sin Devil Trigger Dante said:
Dante's true form. With the two swords absorbed into him, his true power has awakened.

Neither is trying to kill the other.
Nero literally stops them before they can land a fatal blow on each other
Both Vergil and Dante say that is to be their final fight and Dante even says to Nero that he's going to kill Vergil because Nero shouldn't be the one that has to kill his father
Vergil can kill Dante in DMC3 and doesn't do it.
He impales him in their first fight and Dante only didn't die because he awakned his DT at that moment
Dante can kill Vergil in DMC3 and doesn't take it.
He tried to in their first fight, but by their 3rd fight he wants to save him
There's merit to DMC2 beyond the gameplay
Aside from OST and artstyle?
Almost none

Nero is basically a bit more emo DMC1/2 Dante.
:hmmm:
DMC3 Dante does lean into the Marvel trope of never letting an emotional moment land and just sit.
You're just making shit up now, even in DMC4 the game he's at his most flippant he still has moments of seriousness



In the first two games, Dante's an 80's action hero. In the three that followed, he's a wholesome reddit chungus Marvel character.
Are you able express an opinion without buzzwords?



Anyway this discussion is getting way too retarded and I'll not be wasting more time with it

I never understood the notion of taking a console outside your house. I'd rather watch the birds and the trees, you know.

Kid me may have countered that with:

It's the same car journey I've taken numerous times before. Also a godsend on long road trips.
A lot of England where I used to live is a depressive hellscape anyway (rural countryside is nice though - can always hit pause and look out the window for a bit).
It's not only for the outdoors, but playing in bed at night when I am supposed to be sleeping.
Let me ask you what you'd do as a kid: Family gatherings. Listen to the family drone on which you've done many times before, or DESTROY demons once again in Doom GBA? :lol:

I don't play handheld anymore. Mostly because I would only play it outside indeed, or when I didn't have access to the PC or consoles at home, and outside as an adult you need to be alert for survival, it's socially unacceptable (e.g reduces chances of getting pussy), and hell, to my knowledge I already played most of value that handhelds offered anyway. I for sure will be replaying Links Awakening again some day though. Emulated with romhacks at home.

As for all the DMC squabbling, the original DMC is the only I truly care for and wlll replay some day. Played 1-4 to completion, minimal of the reboot, about half of 5.

Less than 1% of DMC fans use 4chan.
He didn't embrace shit, he inadvertedly awakened his DT out of rage and hatred
And he continues to use his demonic powers which is embracing it.
Nero literally stops them before they can land a fatal blow on each other
Neither would have died and we both know it. Killing either of them requires a fuck load more than stabbing them.
He impales him in their first fight and Dante only didn't die because he awakned his DT at that moment
And as we see in DMC3's intro where multiple scythes piece Dante's chest impaling him does absolutely nothing. Even a devil arm like Alistar right in the rib cage isn't enough to dent Dante. They knew the other wouldn't die to being stabbed or sliced.

Dante's response to being shot by Lady is to make a marvel style quip. Even Marvel characters are occasionally serious.

Well, long trips were like a twice a year event for me, but I get it. I didn't have a handheld at that time, anyway. All my experience with handhelds was as a 30+ year old adult coming home from work, too tired to sit in front of a computer--I'd just lay back with a couple of pillows and played in total comfort. What a godsend it was! Thankfully I'm not a wagey anymore and rarely feel that tired nowadays.

Not even worth replying to. Your place is editing fandom wikis and tvtropes, not in a discussion about cultural forms.
"Cultural forms." What a faggot. Maybe you should try copy and pasting some other people's posts to prove how deep and original your content is. Or maybe just STFU about a shitty island with awful media incredibly over rated by virgins with autism.

I don't understand the mindset of people who join discussion forums and then become offended when someone shows interest in something that isn't trivial. It's like those gyms that don't let bodybuilders in or let people lift heavy weights, as it's too intimidating for the average person. It was a mistake to teach people like you how to read and write.

If you talk like a faggot people are going to call you a faggot. It's not non-trivial. Discussing 'art' is extremely trivial and more often than not it's fart sniffing retardation.

Any one with actual talent and capable of making art has no interest in discussing if something is or isn't art. They want to discuss techniques and what they're working on and people they admire are working on. Saying you want to discuss art and thinking it's a deep conversation is the same as a cam whore licking a controller saying she's a gamer. It's an insult to people with skill and the people who do it think their opinion matters when it couldn't matter less if they tried.

You've just proven you don't actually read what other people write(I never talked about what is or isn't art; I even stated that explicitly in a previous post). All your useless contributions are meant to derail discussion with meaningless back and forth. Anyway, continuing this will only make the rest harder to follow, so goodbye.

Sure. In the first two games, Dante is presented as a largely serious character, but with occasional moments of levity (verbally taunting a few of the bosses in 1, smiling as he caps the final boss in 2). This characterization is inverted in the later games where he's predominately a comedy character with fleeting moments of seriousness.

And as we see in DMC3's intro where multiple scythes piece Dante's chest impaling him does absolutely nothing. Even a devil arm like Alistar right in the rib cage isn't enough to dent Dante. They knew the other wouldn't die to being stabbed or sliced.

In fairness, Nero's so fucking stupid, he likely thought they actually were going for kill shots.

This is nothing new lmao. The japs had blues bands in full blackface emulating do-woop american groups. They always had people fascinated with American negro culture. Its cringe but pretty funny when you see the japs so happy about it and the american niggers blowing a gasket because of this and calling them racist.

You are late with the news here. Despite the tag changes, Visa, Master Card, and American Express have cut off DLSite from payment processing.

It's the other way around. The tag changes are a reaction to payment processors leaving.
They are trying to get them back.

I put a FF7 rebirth screen capture into Yandex to see what other images it would suggest.
