DmC director didn't ask the designers to make Dante look like him

I don't care if people agree with me or not, that's up to them. But I see it like this... let me make a scenario for you:

I believe you are an idiot.
That is my opinion. No matter what you say, no matter how many official statements you make that you are indeed not an idiot, I still think you are an idiot. That is my opinion. Even if every logic sense tells me, you are indeed not an idiot, I still think you are an idiot. Until your doctor comes up to my door with a full psychological analysis of your intelligence stating that you are indeed nothing like an idiot, I will believe you are an idiot and say that is my opinion of you. And maybe even then, I would STILL believe you are an idiot, because I am childish and maybe I just really dislike you and simply don't want to believe otherwise...

This was just an example, I don't really think you are an idiot.
What I described above is exactly how some of the many fans have been, and still are like, towards this topic about Tameem and Dante being lookalikes. That there are people who don't like Tameem, I can't blame them, that is their opinions... but it is not an opinion to say if Tameem made the design team have Dante look like him. We might not know the truth, but logic states that it is indeed not the case. It is stated in the very OP article why it isn't the case. The design team would never do something like that. It is professional suicide! And that is why I find it completely ridiculous to say otherwise, because it goes against all sense of logic.

Do you know NT personally?

Do you know Capcom personally?

Do you know Tameen personlly?

I believe the answer to all of the above is "no" am I correct?

Than how the hell would you know for a FACT that these guys are not lying simply because they said so?

How would you know that "sense of logic" would dictate that they would never do such a thing when you yourself wasn't even there?

How do you know what the design team would and would not do?

How is it NOT an opinion to think that Tameen may have modeled Dante after himself initially?

Who are you to dictate what is and is not a opinion?

And I get what the true purpose of your little "example" above was meant to do.

Obviously your taking cheap jabs at me and your trying to give off the impression that I simply do not believe every word Tameen says because I am "childish" and don't want to believe him because of my opinion I formed on him.

Get over it dude.


This will go no where but to a bad place and you know it so knock it off please....

Yeah, December 31 is a rather easy date to screw with. I tried.

Btw trying to add some water to the fire. Logic is a very funny word. Surely we have all heard people say things like man/women logic, nerd logic, vegan logic, religous logic. It seems everyone has their own set of logic based off of their beliefs.

I got this from a philosophy site: "So what is logic? Briefly speaking, we might define logic as the study of the principles of correct reasoning. This is a rough definition, because how logic should be properly defined is actually quite a controversial matter" Source: http://philosophy.hku.hk/think/logic/whatislogic.php

Ummm, to be on topic...Well, at least he's responding to fan concerns.

Well everyone doesn't look for insignificant reasons to bash NT.

Although some do.

But yea, I would love to see the original concept art and what "could have been" lol.



So anybody's opinions who are not the same as yours are automatically ridiculous?

Dude grow up.

Not everyone is going to think the same way as you do.

Is it really that impossible to respect others opinions and keep things civil around here?

In general, People will nitpick everything so you learn to deal and just move on.

Seriously, I cant watch an indian song without reading 900+ comment fight about india and pakistan.

The great pretender.
I just played through Mass effect 3... Here's hoping Ninja Theory, won't do what Bioware just did to me.

I was very underwhelmed by it all. Not a bad game, just... Not what I was expecting. Also, what they did to tali's face for her reveal, photoshopping a stock photo... I actually had to go online to find out.
I guess I wasn't as invested in the story as I had only played the first one.

NOW, SKYRIM on the other hand...

No, I do not know Tameem or Ninja Theory personally, and no, none of us know for a fact that he didn't ask the design team to make Dante look like himself. But do you really think he actually went and told the design team to make Dante look like him? And do you really think they would? Do you REALLY think that they would go ahead and do something as stupid as that?

If you do, then no, I don't think you are an idiot. However, I do think you are basing that of something unreasonable and illogical, maybe some personal hatred towards Tameem or Ninja Theory.

I knew that game was going to be bad as soon as I heard there would be DLC, FOR THE TOYS!

unreasonable and illogical.

How is it unreasonable and illogical?

You act like there has never been a instance where a powerful, wealthy, or important person has done something incredibly stupid before. Just because Tameen is a big cheese at NT does not automatically exclude him from basic human tendencies of making mistakes or being an idiot.

Look at Richard Nixon for example.

He was a very powerful and respected individual who made a terrible mistake in his life.

Why do you honestly think that Tameen is above any form of making mistakes?

Like you said yourself, you really do not even know the guy personally.

And yet you set here and call me illogical for not completely believing everything the guy says when you yourself are setting here and basically defending them on a personal level like you know how the inner minds of these guys work and how "illogical" it would be for them to do something stupid.

Don't you realize how that sounds?

And no, I do not base this off of something I have against Tameen.

I base it off the fact that we do not know if these guys are lying or not. As I have said COUNTLESS times on this topic, IT COULD GO EITHER WAY AND HE COULD BE TELLING THE TRUTH. So why do you keep neglecting that and calling me out on calling him a liar when I never did?

I only said the possibility is definitely there and for you to say otherwise is "illogical" since you do not know for a FACT yourself since you where not there.

but as said earlier on the thread too little too late, if he addressed this issue when people started saying it within a few months after the initial trailer, then people may have believed him,

You know, I could see 4chan taking advantage of this game to troll the**** out of the already divided fanbase, hell why aren't they already doing that, this game has caused such a big flame war that any troll would find it to be paradise.
and this thread proves my point, even when tameem tries to lower all the arguing, it is raised, this place is troll heaven or something

Wait is this quote saying Capcom didn't like NJ "first design of Dante and wanted something different?" Or am I reading this wrong?

GOD! Who cares if they look alike! I don't give a **** about appearance. You could have easily ignored these comments and just accept them and walk away, but NOOOO! You just keep adding fire to an unnesesary flame. So what if Tameen looks like new Dante. Reuben Langdoon LOOKS like Dante in DMC3! Get over it. You tell other people to get over it, but yet here you are, bringing in another useless analysis on how Tameen looks like NT Dante and how all who think otherwise are "loyal slaves to Tameen" Whoopdie-freakin'-do! Also, they look NOTHING alike except hair. FREAKIN' HAIR! So what, you see a guy on the streets with the same hairstyle as New Dante, you gonna call him a possible look alike? I, on the otherhand, don't care if they look the same or not, nor do I care what Tameen says, IT'S. A FREAKIN'. GAME!! If you're so butthurt about it, then go play the HD collection instead.

Your comment is laughable lol.

You single me out and get angry with me and yet you never said anything to the other people who were actually calling ME out. How am I adding fuel to the flame when they are the ones calling me out and challenging my opinion?

Get over it dude.

Its obvious what you are.

And its obvious you have not even been paying 1 bit of attention to what I was talking about with wallenb and Zwei otherwise you would know that it has nothing to do with me being mad that he looked like Tameen but instead it was a matter of whether are not tameen is indeed a liar.

Your comments proves that your nothing more than a troll who wants to turn this topic into a flame war.

Me and Zwei may have been having a "heated debate" but your post is downright flamebait and antagonisted towards me because I simply am not a fan of DmC.

You contributed nothing to the discussion that was at hand and instead decided to act like a spoiled child who is mad because someone does not see things exactly as he does.

You failed to understand what was even being discussed and instead decided to rant and single me out as the guilty party before even understanding what the issue at hand was.

READ posts and understand them before calling people out and trying to start crap ok?
