Devil May Cry bores me...

[Tellis]

I ask this as someone who never played the originals and only experience with DMC is the demo I played of the new one at PAX Prime this year: how immaturely vulgar was Dante in the originals? From what I read or heard about DMC, Dante always seemed more classy. Cocky, sure, but not yelling cuss words left and right, which is what he seemed to act in the demo that I played, (same went for the enemies and bosses that actually talked, though I can believe they were originally like that as well to an extent). I dunno, maybe that is Dante's personality, or maybe it can be explained by him being younger but it just felt like swearing for the sake of swearing like we were in the early 2000s again.

I will say that I did like the combat and the fact that it's kind of technical and would take some work to master and do good combos and stuff. Didn't grasp the point of the guns though, never saw a point in juggling people in the air with millions of bullets if it barely does any damage and you have to either jump or wait for them to fall down to hit them again anyway or let them drop to hit something else. Were the originals different? Maybe someone can enlighten me here.
