I'm goin through DMC4 a second time before I try a harder difficulty right now. Not bored with it to the least, actually. Hey Kain, did you get to the scene with Dante and Agnus towards the end?
Anyway, here's my Nero theory: It doesn't really spoil much now that I think about it so don't read it if you don't want to. So Nero is a demon with Sparda's blood like Dante as we found out. While Nero showed to have a bit of the attitude that Dante has (i.e. laid laid back, some trash talking, you get the idea), he was also much more serious in comparison. So it actually got me thinking that in DMC2 we have a Dante that is very serious, so I believe that Dante is DMC2 is really just Nero posing as him. I know, what about the sword, guns, the outfit and the devil bringer. I can't really answer that other than Nero borrowed the stuff, and the devil bringer we couldn't really be able to see anyway since Dante's arms are totally covered up in DMC2. Anyway, that was just a thought to help explain DMC2 I think, and for Capcom to make a sequel following that one if they have wanted to (although i'm content with them continuing to ignore it). Also, I believe that Nero is really Virgil reincarnated. In DMC3 Dante was like 19 or something I think, and now he's in his 30's somewhere. On the flip-side we don't know Nero's age, but Dante always calls him a kid so depending on the gap between DMC3 and 4, Nero could be about the age Dante was in 3. Anyway, that would leave quite a bit of time for the reincarnated Virgil to grow up to look like he did in DMC4 (assuming Nero = Vergil of course). Plus there's the whole Yamato thing, and the sword reacting to Nero. Though, who really knows, right? I think my theory is really just the obvious. I am sure other people have thought of the whole thing at some point while playing.
And I tried Burnout Paradise last night... you know what? It's actually pretty awesome. I mean it's so simple really. Just win the races to upgrade your drivers license so you can get more cars. That's the basic gist of the game, but it's fun. And I enjoy trying to take down the special cars that drive around. It's no special race or anything, you just see them and go for them.
