The time it would take to compile, compose, and record the content for an hour long video is already way more time than anyone should spend on something they don't like, and have little interest in >_< That's why I tend to think people who do stuff like that are damaged, or are in it for some sort of profit.
Anyway, time for me to
make like a tree, and get outta here.
Well, each to his own. I'm sure there are things we each do that would not fascinate one another particularly.
He does not come across as someone who dislikes the franchise, or wants to dislike the new game simply for the ever-loving hell of it, at least not to
me. He comes across as someone who was skeptical from the word GO of the
integrity and
reasoning given behind CAPCOM's decision to pass DmC to NT and 'Westernise' it, and continues to be skeptical of their reasonings: i.e. that Dante was 'stale' and needed redoing (as opposed to the fact that this was a moneymaking decision); or was skeptical of their poor PR handling (which it has been, there's little doubt about that), was skeptical of NT's ability to create this game to the technical and gameplay standards of previous DMC titles (which it does not appear to be especially better than); and is skeptical of the hype that was and is being generated about the game; is critical of what appears to be an acceptable but not a 'ground-breaking' action game when what we really expected
and were told was to be a 'step up' from the old, etc.; is skeptical of the fan division and defence of this game combined with the apparent refusals to acknowledge these things, or where the game actually fails or does not impress, because if you do not dissect or look properly at your products as a consumer then you are losing the power of quality control. Consumers, or buyers, decide to an extent the quality of the next games that will be made because the golden rule of business is: MAKE MORE FOR LESS. If companies can get away with cutting corners, they usually will. So if a low standard is acceptable one year, it'll come again the next. Unless consumers absolutely destroy a product because it is terrible, then a company will put the effort in next time to get it back up to scratch. We saw this in action with DMC2 and then, DMC3. They saw it was a poor effort and tried to do better because people said it was a poor effort. He points out the role consumers (gamers) have in the cycle of all this.
This is what people are not getting. Clearly he is fan of DMC in general or he would not have knowledge to speak of the older games. But he is NOT a fan of CAPCOM's decisions with this franchise or of their tactics in trying to sell this to a wider audience, of their blaming the fans for not automatically liking this decision or NT, or of the corporate greed and sneaky tactics companies use to try to get people on side. He is not a fan of how CAPCOM and NT have treated the very people who made this franchise a big deal in the first place, i.e. the fans, and how they are being treated even as consumers in this case.
And I would certainly agree with him on plenty of points knowing the VG industry and business worlds much better than I once did. He is not just "someone who hates DmC", therefore.
