New DMC Dante Sucks- Give Us Our Old Dante Back!

Capcom is getting fired up to launch the new sequel to the blockbuster hack 'n' slash game Devil May Cry , named DMC. Release Date Expected To be on January 2013,but the hottest discussions are going on about the new protagonist's looks- Dante.The thing about Devil May Cry winning such huge popularity is undoubdtedly resting on the protagonist named Dante.

Why?... .. Dante has always been a wicked cool, arrogant, Super stylish, -All you ever need to be a super Hero Gaming ICON. His looks says it all. DMC 3 and DMC 4 show cased some of the most exquisite Dante Cut-scenes and Looks. He always keeps his style and glamor intact even in some of the worst battles. I have been a hardcore DMC fan for years. Played All the DMC series., including the DMC 3 Special Edition: Dantes's Awakening-featuring His Demonic Brother Vergil as a playable character. Which I liked the most.

DMC 3 Dante VS New Dante....

DMC 4 Dante VS New Dante....

WTF!

You can really see what i mean. The New Dante is just too unbearable. 

 Shit! we don't want a stupid looking, drug addicted, handicapped piece of shit taking the Old Dante's Place. CAPCOM will regret this. Because DMC is hugely built upon the character power and Dante is the one who controls the entire show. So the New Dante is a total Failure
