You're statement was basically saying that a true fan would accept anything given to them (even if you didn't mean it that way )I simply disagreed by saying bullshit you got all ass hurt and called me a troll did I insult you nope so like I said chill out.

Sorry, an opinion piece on a gaming site that has no affiliation to either Capcom or Ninja Theory doesn't count. That's really just another dude on the internet telling people to quit bitching, except he has a more official platform to do so than if I did it from right here.
Woah dude. The troglodyte bit was funny, but now you're taking it a little too far.

A true fan is anyone who supports the series despite its flaws.

I dont know if that's actually true, I mean your no more or less of a fan just because you don't care for a certain game in a series. I love Ninja Gaiden, but I skipped 3 because what I played I really did not like. I would never bother doing any of the stuff the hardcore haters have done to DmC in protest, just wont pick up the game is all. If Ninja Gaiden 4 comes out, I will be much less excited to play it but I will still give it a shot to prove my uncertainty wrong.
I think if you are too loyal to a series then you pretty much give the developers and publishers permission to release any old crap they want because they know the fans are loyal and will buy it anyway like Resident Evil series, Madden, Call of Duty, Halo, Assassin's Creed. Now im not saying every game in those series are bad but the developers know they could make Master Chief a walking turd and would still sell a million copies because the fans are just that loyal.

Halo is freaking amazing!

It is a really solid shooter that I used to spend hours upon hours playing. Kinda lost my taste for it after Halo 3 but that does not mean i'm going to go around crying and complaining and making rant videos over it just because I didn't like ODST or Reach.

I agree with this.
While its not ok to start raging out and attacking others like some fans did after this reboot was revealed it also is not ok to say that your not a true fan if you don't embrace this reboot either.
You should never give a company a "free pass" by embracing anything they put out simply under the notion that your being a "true fan" by doing it.

Yep it's a give and take relationship with developers and fans. We have to give them the freedom to do new things and experiment without freaking out otherwise our favorite games become like Madden, the exact same game every time with next to no innovation to actually move the series along. We also can not just take anything they hand us. Its a tough balance to maintain.

Well, that's what I'm saying. A real fan can look at something, and either be okay with changes and embrace them, or not be too keen on them and simply move on. You didn't like NG3, that's perfectly fine, and you know and care about the product enough to know there are missteps. What you didn't like, you voiced, but then moved on, but yeah, you're not going insane like some of the people who don't like DmC.
And yeah, loyalty is nice, but you have to be a smart consumer to prevent what you love from stagnating. I think it's stupid to say someone isn't a true fan if they have a legitimate reason for not liking something, like you not liking NG3. You're no less of a fan if you didn't care for it - but it's all a matter of at least being able to respect what's being done by having reasons that hold water.

There's no such thing as a "true fan" of a franchise.
Someone that likes the old or new incarnation and even spin-off titles of a game franchise are fans, regardless.
Those who bring up about being "true fans" are just trying to establish some sort of superiority.

Yep, you get me dude lol. I think at the end of the day people just need to step back and get their little emotions in check about these things. And to the Ninja Gaiden 3 point, even if I didn't like it, I would still give it kudos and acknowledge any parts of the new game that could make the series better as a whole. In that game's case it has zero elements that could make the series better.
Still hurts a little to think about my favorite homicidal ninja staring in an awful game...

Yo. We don't accept that sort of behaviour here so don't let anyone catch you using that language again, kk? Ta.
And as for those riling Azure King up? It ends now because he sure didn't just come out with that comment all by himself without any provocation.
Takes two to tango and all that nonsense.
Carry on.

"True fan" is just another phrase that can be used by anyone with what they feel is it's definition. Personally I don't use the phrase but if I were backed into a corner at gun point and told to define it, this is what I would explain it to be...
I would simply consider it a level of enjoyment I get from a game/series. For instance I would consider myself a true fan of the MGS series because I played all the games and loved them. However I consider myself just a fan of say Sonic the Hedgehog, because although I loved to play a few of the games, I don't like a big enough percentage of them to the extent of a true fan.
But as said before I don't like using the term 'True fan' anyway, I prefer just saying I'm a big fan of something. It has the exact same meaning to me with less feel that I'm boasting some sort of superiority.
