Am I the only one who thinks that Ninja Theoy's arrogance is a marketing strategy?
I mean, just look at what they've done.

I don't think it is. Or if it is, this is a bad strategy to use. I think I know what they were trying to say, but it came out all wrong and ended up just upsetting even more people than were already upset in the first place.Am I the only one who thinks that Ninja Theoy's arrogance is a marketing strategy?

The Trailer didn't faze me at all. I just thought it's like a prequel, I was 13 at the time so I didn't really care.I don't think it is. Or if it is, this is a bad strategy to use.

I decided just to ignore what they said and bought DmC because I liked the look of it. Got to say though, I was really made when I saw the 2010 trailer. I was thinking 'wtd is this?!' followed by 'they killed Dante!' But since the flying through the trailer naked with pizza junk video, I began to like it. ^_^
I didn't see that at the time. It was while I was on this forum that I heard of that. Got to admit, that was a low blow to the original Dante. Whatever point NT were trying to make, it came out totally the wrong way.The Trailer didn't faze me at all. I just thought it's like a prequel, I was 13 at the time so I didn't really care.
But the moment I heard that idiot say Dante isn't cool anymore, I thought "Who the **** do you think you are? you just said that this is a reboot and now you're thrashing my series? Go **** yourself".
Here's the best way I can explain this.I didn't see that at the time. It was while I was on this forum that I heard of that. Got to admit, that was a low blow to the original Dante. Whatever point NT were trying to make, it came out totally the wrong way.
Yep, that's a pretty good analogy of the feelings about Dante for the fans. Like someone took your cake and tried to give you another cake.Here's the best way I can explain this.
Imagine you're a kid.
Imagine you get a super awesome cake. It tastes so freaking good. You just don't want to stop eating it.
Then this grown up dude comes. He takes away your cake and hands you a new one that doesn't taste as good.
He says "That cake isn't mainstream. Everyone likes this one, you should too."
But then you look around, and you notice that there are actually a bunch of people eating the same kind of cake that he just took away.
So you flip him off and take back the cake.
I should really replace the 'cake' with a 'pizza'.Yep, that's a pretty good analogy of the feelings about Dante for the fans. Like someone took your cake and tried to give you another cake.

I didn't even know this forum had an age restriction on itIsn't this forum 18+?
on the internet no one cares about age restriction...NO ONE @.@I didn't even know this forum had an age restriction on it![]()
Yeah, that was a terrible strategy, if a strategy at all. NT was trying to propose a radical change of something the fans were really attached to, they could at least have tried to be... kind about it. :ermm:I don't think it is.

Exactly. How hard is it to get your viewpoint across to others while being tactful and respectful of how fans feel for old Dante.Yeah, that was a terrible strategy, if a strategy at all.

It's not that by being so hard on someone who criticizes you you convince that person you're right. Just like with flamewars.
Secretly, I'm 10 years old:lol:
If they alienate the people they've drawn from their recent games, I don't see it as a bad thing.
It's just because it's more to b!tch about regarding DmC. How many people do you see dissing Kamiya even though he can be an asshole and has been doing it even longer? Besides, if NT responded to some angry comments with a comeback then I don't blame them. They're still people just doing their job. Yet fans act like they killed their dog or something and there's no denying the ridiculous side of the fanbase that does exist and also overreacted to a reboot to a very ridiculous extent.I still don't fully understand why people actually care that much about what the developers said. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that it wasn't kinda disrespectful how NT got their opinions across, but, well, firstly it's only their opinion, and scondly it only matters what the game is like in the end.
*chuckles* Yeah, THAT petition...snip.
What have the Sonic fans done? I was only into those games during the Sega gamegear and Saturn generations, so I wouldn't know.Yea, the Devil May Cry fanbase is now pretty much up with the Sonic fans. At least Sonic fans never decided to send a petition to the White House. Way to one up in the fandumb. I'm sure that held up quite well for the initial perception of the fanbase.
Well, there are the retro fans that are incredebly, um, displeased with Sonic's re-design he got in Adventure, and seemingly make quite a fuss about it. They also don't like that it changed form 2D to 3D and how there are so many characters. They want Sonic to be only about Sonic and maybe Tails, I think :/What have the Sonic fans done?
