He's...a little unhinged at times.

"WAAAH! There are H8TERS who don't like Metal Gear as much as we do! That's IMPOSSIBLE because EVERYONE LUUUURVS METAL GEAR!" I can only imagine the sheer, petrified shock they'd experience if they ever met me, or knew MY thoughts on MGS. Their fanboy hearts would implode with disbelief.

I can't say I'd be surprised though. They came off as complete pricks when making fun of anyone's opinion that they didn't agree with. Brought back memories, actually.

So, what did you think of DMC4 Vergil? Just as bad as you remembered? XD
Did you at least enjoy playing his character?

Haven't played Vergil yet, but let me clarify: I never hated Vergil, and I still don't hate him. He was always a neat villain to me, and one of the only marginally-enjoyable aspects of DMC3. I just hate how the fanbase has overhyped him beyond belief, and made nonsenical claims about motivations that don't even exist in the context of the series...and his voice is a little too nasally for my taste.
Demi-fiend
Oh yeah, I understand all that.
Now, I'm not comparing Joker to Vergil, but while I liked Heath Ledger's performance, I didn't like the way everyone said that nothing could top it.
Like Vergil, the hype was unbearable and made me prefer Nicholson's portrayal in the end. Kind of like how it was with Melfice.

I agree entirely. It doesn't help that I prefer the New Vergil, since his motivations and character were clear, and better-written overall. His personal struggle in Downfall was also more compelling.

Too bad no one else sees that. They all say he's (and get this) "badly written."
According to them, original Vergil's character was "far more complex" while DmC was "too shallow."
I want whatever it is they're snorting. *smh*

(wouldn't hurt to equip New Vergil with more melee weapons though)

"Vague Head-Canon & Shoddy Implications > Actual Origins & Vocally-Presented Characteristics", apparently. This is what happens when their only standards of basic narrative competence is derived from the late-90's anime block on Toonami. By those standards, DMC must look like Tennyson or Lovecraft.

Lol, very true. "People see what they want to see."
I remember back when those programs on toonami were being worshiped and everyone thought DBZ was the absolute sh!t. Still do, apparently, if the comments on the second Superman death battle are anything to go on.

What's worse though, is when collective head-canon becomes actual canon for the majority of fans. You end up with writing like this.

See what I mean? People think anime has gotten "better."
http://devilmaycry.org/threads/unpopular-opinions.20663/page-21#post-620978
SOME anime programs have gotten better to rise above the ranks -- most anime however... not so much.

I can gurantee you this person has never watched a good anime, then...see also, ever bonafide monolith and classic from the 80's-90's. Uncultured? Try encapsulated in bad taste.

Speaking of Toonami...

Anyway, here's hoping they'll make an"Honest DMC/MGS Fanboy" vid someday.

So, besides guts, what's a "genuinely" good anime? I tried getting into Saint, but couldn't watch more than a few minutes before getting bored.

If you like Tarantino-style humor and story-telling, give Black Lagoon a shot. If you want a sweeping, Gothic-pulp story with historical references, try Hellsing Ultimate. If you want an old-fashioned D&D fantasy, watch Record of Lodoss War. If you want a deep, tense, masterfully-written saga of growth, read Vagabond.

Have you seen Welcome to the NHK? It was like looking into a mirror, man.
In any case, while I'm sure you dislike SOA, I don't like all the flak it gets (and I hate anyone who has the word "bro" in their name).

Xenoblade Chronicles X is on the WiiU in 2016.
The first three are the same game. XCX is the actual "Mech" sequel.
