10 WORST Ways Video Games Took Away Your Favourite Powers

10. Dante Sells His Devil Arms To Pay His Rent - Devil May Cry 5

The Devil May Cry series traditionally ditches most if not all of the weapons and abilities gained in the previous game, and generally doesn't bother explaining why (though the third game gets away with it by being a prequel).

But on the eve of the recent release of DMC5, fans once again pondered why Dante's Devil Arms weapons attained in the fourth game are nowhere to be seen this time around.

Hilariously, director Hideaki Itsuno actually gave an answer in a pre-release interview, claiming that Dante sold his Devil Arms after the fourth game in order to pay his rent.

As amusing an explanation as it is, and as little as the DMC franchise relies on actual logic, it is an undeniable, shameless ass-pull to try and explain the slate being mostly wiped clean.
