Dante from Devil May Cry has always been fairly brash and cocky.

During each of his appearances in the main series of games, as well as his anime debut, Dante exuded a cool confidence. In many ways, his sarcastic and stylish attitude is what drew many players to the game.

After all, Devil May Cry was all about rewarding players for stylish gameplay and Dante was a perfect fit. However, when DmC: Devil May Cry came around, developers Ninja Theory went with a slightly different approach.

As newcomers to the franchise, Ninja Theory had not worked on the prior games and treated DmC as a hardcore reboot.

Featuring a younger version of Dante, the character's abrasiveness was turned up to 11 and was much more arrogant. This portrayal of the previously beloved character was enough to turn some die hard fans off of the game entirely.
