I'm gonna be extremely blunt about the people who continuously think that DmC is superior in terms depth and technical skill.
To be quite honest about it, those who say this are people who never actually played DMC4 at an extreme technical level or wasn't even bothered to do research about DMC4. So quite often, I always hear people claim that DMC4 is inferior with it's combat system. Even when evidence is shown, some counteract by posting gameplay videos of DmC that are good but lack showcase of deep mechanics. And some people actually tend to get mad whenever someone brings up a comparison between DmC and DMC4 because they think it's hurting DmC reputation. (when it's honestly normal to compare the two games) Hell, even DMC3 and DMC4 was compared extensively when DMC4 was released. And that sad thing about this is that DMC4 having more combat depth/technical skill required than DmC isn't an opinion. It's...actually true.
No actual debate happens from comparing the two games. It usually goes back and forth between opinions and facts until a mod shows up. lol That's why I can't argue with anyone who prefers DmC over DMC4 since it usually results in calling me a "hater" or people flat out ignore my points.
