I've said this many times a bud who hears me go on and on about DmC. The reason I got into this whole DmC "controversy" was because of how stupid I found it to be. Like honestly when I first saw the trailer and read the comments the first thing that came to mind was. Who gives a **** if his hair is black im pretty sure there's an explanation.
Then when I started to comment on the gametrailers/capcom cu site more and more I saw how angry and utterly stupid people got over this game. It came to the point that all people who hated DMC 4 came to defend it and call it the best action game ever.
For me its like this the best example I can use Metal gEar Rising. The game that alot of people say is the "true dmc" cause of platinum and 60fps. I am a huge MGS fan. So seeing a game where I play as the ninja characters was a refreshing and awesome thing. Suddenly after the first trailer the news of platinum took over and I instantly worried about the game. Not doubting it but just worried suddenly the trailer proved me right. Over the top, hyperspeed, quick time events, shoddy dialog, and just off the wall stuff. However I still had optimism for the game so a friend got me the ZoE hd collection which had the demo. I played it and whelp was again proven right. The games pushing of 60fps left the environment much to be desired. There physics made it to where the more you cut the laggier the game got. The combat was ho hum hack n slash combat (heavy and light attacks with no DMC like feel at all)and brought nothing new to the table. Which surprised me for a platinum game. The tacked on stealth segments, invisible walls, non skip-able radio contacts, pointless side weapons(for a demo ment to impress people) and easy counter system made this game seem so average I couldn't love it like I originally did. So after hearing and playing this I left it alone. I didn't goto anyone's twitter and cry, I didn't goto the forums and complain all day and say bring back the original or hand it to this or that. I stopped paying alot of my time and patience into the game. I dont HATE it at all im just left at the point to where its everything I expect for this game nothing more nothing less.
With the internet its brought many negatives to gamers because of well gamers and fans alike. Trying to be something they are not or trying to act/sound smart. With DmC its shown the world how immature the Devil May Cry fanbase is and how change in the gaming industry means controversy. Capcom has done so many spin offs and alt versions of there games and no one complained until it happened to DMC. DMC 4 showed the series getting stale and DmC showed something new yet the same to bring back the old and bring in the new. However optimism was thrown out the window when DmC wasent something every one wanted it to be.
thats been my experience with the people who dont like it, i was including you in that percentage btw.
