And the other reviews of getting 9/10's and 10/10's without seeing or bringing the con's are fair?
All I see is balance...no negativity, but not positive either, each to its own like many reviewers.
I'm not saying that the game should be given automatic 9/10s straight outta the gate, all I'm saying is that a 5 for this game is incredibly harsh.And the other reviews of getting 9/10's and 10/10's without seeing or bringing the con's are fair?

Comments like "Many of us were probably outraged about this when we first seen his redesign, but that soon went over as we figured it might actually be an okay game." I find to be extremely sweeping. In fact, the entire opening paragraph is just one big "Lower your expectations".
And the comment about the audio doesn't even make sense to Me, the reviewer implies that it's entirely dubstep when in fact very little of the game features dubstep-esque music, nowhere near as prominent as the industrial Combichrists slice of the soundtrack anyway.
I've read many a review on DmC, but this I found to be the most uncomfortable to read. The whole thing just feels wrong.
After watching Angry Joe's review, I steered well clear of any 'review' of DmC on there. Perhaps I should check them out now though, have they gotten any better/worse?Read the ones on Metacritic, those are just a riot.

Also want to point out that the guy actually did say some nice things about the game.
It seemed like a fair review to me and that it simply did not appeal to his taste.
I would hardly call him biased in that respect.
If so, the whole review would have been 1 big mudslinging fest that said nothing good about the game.
Last I seen 2 and 1's.
Yeah I agree with you that a review should be more like that. I was actually more ****ed off with angry Joe's review though; he really acted like his opinion was a fact saying that the characters were unlikeable over and over again. I honestly get the feeling that this guy was more inexperienced than anything else.Let Me be clear, what I meant by biased is that the reviewer wastes no time in comparing the reboot to the original, obvious and expected, yes, but also ends with the warning that should any fan do the same, they will be disappointed. Biased towards the original series is all I meant. And while any nobody can throw a half-assed review up, I've always felt that a true review should be done objectively. Focusing entirely on the merits of the game itself as it's own game for it's own game, not because of it's history.
Ah, still being trolled then, won't bother reading them.
I was wondering what was going on with your quote there, ha. Yea, as much as I enjoy Joe, his DmC review annoyed Me, especially the beginning where He mentioned the whole 'Emo Dante' thing (despite Dante being clearly more akin to Punk than Emo). He's a great reviewer, I was pleased to see him squeeze out a 7 for DmC and even mention aspects of DmC which were done better than DMC, but at times He does come across as a bit of a casual.Yeah I agree with you that a review should be more like that.

sorry! I hit post and for some reason my reply just didn't show up at all; I was wondering what was going on myself ha. Yeah, I thought the 7 was fair, but he just lingered far too long comparing the game to the originals in most places instead of on it's own merits. Besides, I for one like the characters in the reboot more so it really tiffed me of when he acted like his opinion were facts. I guess I was holding angry joe to a higher professional standard for some reason lol.
Angryjoe clearly stated before mentioning the whole emo thing is, It's his opinion and judgment so you'll have to bear with it. Also joe is never a professional reviewer. He never claims to be one and his style of reviewing is not really what professionals do with all those boobies jokes :3
