Before when I used think of a DmC supporter a child similar to my nephew (age 9) came to mind who has never heard anyone use profanity or aren't allowed to use it themselves. After coming on here I see not all of the Pro-DmC people are like that. I really wanted to stay out of this DMC vs DmC troll war. The main reason I was forced to pick a side early on (Pro-DMC) was because NT insulted the original fans. I didn't like where DmC was going with the first trailer so I decided not to buy it then and there and wished the game well.
Then you hear the old Dante was "outdated" and "uncool" from Taneem in an interview. My piece of advice is if you want people to buy your rebooted product then don't insult the original fanbase who got the franchise to become established. Then Alex compared the fans (Pro-DMC and Pro-DmC) to sheep in an interview who were "going to buy the game anyway" if memory serves me correctly. Once again insulting us, the fans.
*Above was mentioned on youtube by EventStatus in his Devil May Cry videos which I recommend to see how this whole "war" began between the fans*
Then pro-DmC's side has pretty much accused anyone who dislikes the game as "hating" in an attempt to silence any opposition. Any concern for the switch from 60 fps to 30fps, no lock-on, difficulty, 2 evade buttons, glitches, etc. are immediately placed under "the hair" category and dismissed.
The reviews are out (Don't delude yourself into believing they are not purchased. This can go for ANY game) giving 8/10, 9/10, 10/10 and even various awards hyping this game through the roof and to the moon for being "flawless" and insult the "haters" for being wrong in a "I told you so" manner. Once again old fans are insulted this time by reviewers who support the game. Metacritic.com shows this. The Critic reviews are all positive and do not mention problems. Some of the user reviews, which are overwhelmingly negative at the moment due to some trolls just bashing which I don't approve of, do their part and actually review the game bringing up legitimate concerns with the game:
"Judging the game by comparing it to the earlier installments I have to say is a lackluster experience, not because of the redesign, not because of the somewhat weird political commentary, but because the gameplay is way slower than even DMC2 which was the worst of the classic series in that regard, the lack of a dedicated lock on button and the unnecessary platform segments (for an action game) really makes this one lose points." 5/10 review
Pro-DmC fans suffer from people who blindly accept the game for perfection.
"LOL @ all these people hating on the game because it's different" 10/10 review
When are we going to grow up?
There is even a forum topic on here entitled " DmC Metacritic Reviews are getting absurd" worried about the game getting bad scores. NT's twitter spoke of not having any genuine reviews under 89% and, if I'm not mistaken, are boasting enough with their paid reviews. Once the hype dies down and everyone comes to their senses I hope you DmC supporters realize that DmC has problems and, if they are not addressed by you, they will not get fixed.
My question is why are you all worried so much about review scores? If you like the game then enjoy playing the game then play it instead of trying to convince/vindicate to others why you like it. In the end Capcom sold this game purely on a fan war along with arrogance. Capcom/NT essentially told the fans, "We know what you want so shut up and buy it when we release it." and will do it again.
If I were a DmC fan I would be worried. Why? You have seen how Capcom treated it's original DMC fans. Do you really think you will be treated any differently? Capcom doesn't care about us. We are purely numbers to them. Should they feel the need for a new "reboot" they will treat DmC fans just as poorly as DMC fans. You all will be the "whiners" and "haters." Capcom did it to the Megaman franchise so do you think the Devil May Cry franchise is safe? Who cares what scores DmC gets or how well this game sells? I'm worried about the franchise as a whole. This ladies and gents is taken from vg247.com
"You’ve lost it, “gamers”. I’m ashamed to be sharing an arbitrary demographic grouping with such raving imbeciles. Go outside. Get some fresh air. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Grow the **** up. And try DmC: Devil May Cry, because it’s a good video game. Remember how you used to like those?"
Go ahead and call me a "hater" because I refuse to kiss Capcom's a** for making the "Shakespearean masterpiece" otherwise known as DmC. I do not have a problem with you as a person because we have different opinions over a video game. My problem is with Capcom/NT because of how they treat their "fans". Seriously the whole white wig thing on that carnival mission poking fun at the old fans and the reaction to the hair. I'm confident you are probably "It's just a joke. Don't take it seriously." So you are telling me insulting your entire fanbase's reaction to a drastic change to the main protagonist of a beloved franchise they invested time/money is a joke? Starting this s**tstorm flame war between the original fans and new fans causing a controversy to keep the DmC buzzing is a joke? Creating the whole us "DmC" fans versus them "DMC" fans mentality was just hilarious wasn't it? That is why I cannot support this game. We are ALL under the same franchise. Why are we fighting each other again?
We all are on the same side in wanting an entertaining game to play. DmC distracted many of you Pro-DmC guys/gals from it's gameplay issues by bringing up "them original DMC fans don't like the game because of the hair. What haterz right?" You all said "How can you judge a game you have not played yet?" and "give the game a chance." Then the demo came out and glitches galore. I played the demo and it glitched on the boss. I attacked and she didn't move nor lose health from my attacks. When we "gave the game a chance" and found glitches we were apparently "searching for glitches." I find it ironic this game's story talks about the "media" controlling people and you DmC supporters are essentially falling for the same thing you are fighting against in DmC lol
This is bigger than this mediocre game to me. We, as the Devil May Cry community, have proved to everyone else just how immature we are...over a video game. That is truly pathetic. This effects me. This effects you (Yes you reading this if you made it this far) This effects gaming as a whole. If we DMC and DmC fans don't put aside petty differences aside and continue to troll/flame each other for difference of opinion...then we ALL lose the Devil May Cry franchise.Lost at how much we have lost this gaming generation. I've watched as companies purposely lock portions of a finished game (Street Fighter x Tekken anyone?) and make users buy DLC to complete their game. Can you justify DLC being announced before a game is even released? I've watched as companies issue online passes (some of which can apparently expire.) to "stop" pirating of games. I've watched as single player games get DRM requiring an internet connection to play your game OFFLINE (Final Fight DRM from EventStatus video) Now Sony patents anti-used games software in the next generation? Are we still going to continue fighting about this game while stuff like this becomes the new "norm"?
I have seen DmC/DMC fans fight and fight over this game but where are you all when we, as gamers, are blamed for shooting and violence? These big time review sites didn't say anything when we were being blamed for that shooting in Connecticut but they are quick to belittle a fellow gamer because of a difference of opinion over Devil May Cry. I don't recall Capcom backing us gamers during that time. Did you back us up or where you too busy calling a DMC fan a "hater"? The quality of gaming, our beloved hobby, is at risk because we as gamers will fight each other to the death (if their opinion if different than ours) but will do NOTHING against the company who insults/exploits them. DMC fans have lost. DmC fans have lost. We ALL have lost.
Due to ignorance we have lost this generation in gaming. Let's not lose the next one too
