Playing DmC: Vergil's Downfall

Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers for DmC: Devil May Cry ahead. If you haven’t beaten the game, prepare to be spoiled!

Vergil is a complete and utter badass. You know it, I know it, and everyone who played Devil May Cry 3 knows it, too. But in DmC: Devil May Cry, he spent more time being a smug little jerk than he did being the katana-wielding demon spawn we all know and love.

That is of course until his brother Dante unceremoniously skewers him at the end of the game’s climactic fight. It’s in those final moments when Vergil finally puts his sword where his mouth is, loses to his brother, and tells him that he loved him. He starts to become something more. Then he steps through a portal and disappears, leaving us to wonder what could have been if Ninja Theory had given us just a few more hours.
