I think this forum has an anti-spam filter so I can't just post one word. But right now, one word is all I can think of.
WOE.
My little heart just got broken into pieces. This is not Dante. That is not Devil May Cry. It will never be so, here. If this isn't some arrogant joke on Capcom's part, then Devil May Cry ended with 4 for me.
Already the backlash on numerous sites should be enough to make them start reconsidering. I expected to be offended by their idea of what Westerners want. I never expected this. If they don't change him back, I'm not buying it. I already said if Dante wasn't in it, I wouldn't. And that is not Dante.
This has also killed the enthusiasm I had for MvC3. At least, I don't see myself preordering it with big, eager eyes anymore.
I may only be one person, but Capcom just lost a fan with this if they don't fix it. Whats the point of becoming attached to their games if this is what happens to us? I feel so helpless and left out in the rain.
And even so, I maintain some optimism. That its not really really Dante. A hopeful person could gamble that this is some nega-Dante, created to destroy or replace the original. (The idea has been tossed about.)
I'd play it in the first case. But not in the second one. Either way, with what I see now, it's officially a 'wait till someone else plays it to find out.' So... anyone here gonna be that 'someone else'?
