Nero Sucks...

[Night Sparda]

The trick to making him a better character would have been to answer SOME questions about him, but leave us with MORE questions. They didn't answer ANYTHING we didn't already know before the game started.

Have To Agree With You There. That Would Have Made The Game A Little More Satisfying If They Had Done So Instead Of Just Giving Us Next To Nothing To Work With In Terms Of Nero's History

I'm still wondering how he's supposedly related to Sparda, I mean, Sanctus said it himself, right? That their (Order of the Sword) original intentions was to capture Dante into the giant Savior in the first place?

How was Nero in the family?

Well, what sucks about that is that for EVER, Capcom said "Nero is not related to Sparda. He is not of his bloodline"
...yet...Sanctus says he carries his blood...WTF?
Well, either Capcom lied...big surprise there...Or Nero isn't of his bloodline, but just carries his blood.

It might make sense since Sanctus stabbed Nero's arm...But yet again...we're left with the same darned questions we had before the game started.

They should have shown how he got his arm EXACTLY. That might have been sufficient for us. But who knows?
Personally, if they answer it in the next game, I won't look on DMC4 with such disdain...but if they don't, someone's getting a butt kicking.

Holla!

I hope they do tell in the next game. They might have another game. I think. Maybe Nero will be innit too....>.>

Not like DMC4 was bad at all, but.....I just hope the next one doesn't suck!

Its the Curse of DMC, any game's number that is even, is destinied to be a bust!

I wouldn't say DMC4 was a bust...it was just deserving of its 80-87 review score. It just wasn't the amazing 9.5+ game that was DMC1 and DMC3.

Those games set the bar high, and we may have grown to expect that. But When it comes down to it...it wasn't just the Nero plot holes that doomed DMC4. I would have pushed for a 9.0+ should it have had more weapons, costumes, unlockables, etc. Even with Dante's semi-nerfed styles and Yamato being half a weapon, it would have been a lot better with those extras. Yamato as a full weapon (unlockable at the very least), more weapons and costumes in general would have pushed it to a solid 9.5 or more. A perfect 10 had they explained some of Nero's past and PART of the mystery of the DB.
DMC4 wasn't DMC2...let's just make that clear.

Ay it wasn't as bad as DmC2. But it was a let down in my book. The only positive I got from the game was using Nero's Devil Bringer. It brought a new mechanic to the gameplay and was interesting to use. I think that's the only reason they incorporated Nero into the story in the first place.

Other than that one positive I didn't like the fact that Nero took up 3/4 of the game. Dante was scarce and Vergil is possibly stuck in Nero's arm for at least another game. Not to mention that Nero' back story was never explained either. Like you guys have already mentioned. It is very frustrating and just brought up more questions.

Kobayashi said that is so, I believe.
But in my humble opinion, it seems like it COULD work out for the best...who knows though?

Agreed, agreed, and agreed.
If we don't get answers soon. I shall...do something mean...lol

I never thought of this game as something all that bad. OK not as good as 1 or 3 but not a total loss either. OK I don't like Nero as much as Dante but he has a lot of potential and I'm sure Nero's past will be revealed in a later game. At least part of it. From Nero's Resurrection of Yamato I would think he has some part of Vergil 's soul or at least some sort of Sparda's soul.

Many people wish for Vergil's existence through Nero, including me. My cousin and I have the "Dante Vs. Vergil" relationship. It doesn't exactly work when my character has died off. Rise and be reborn Vergil, into the son you so reluctantly created and become more powerful than Dante.
