I believe Chancey was the one who kept claiming his opinion was a fact, in a number of threads, if not all threads I saw him post in. But a lot of people make that mistake. That said, I agree with him that people who like the original DMC aren't better than the ones who like DmC.
However, there is a lot of animosity about DmC, and you can't just ignore that and go ''the reboot (DmC) was absolutely necessary!'' That's simply not true. Or ''old Dante had a terrible personality!'' or ''Vergil was a bad character!'' If you say those kinds of things, you haven't the faintest idea what the difference is between opinion and fact. Many things said here and in other threads just aren't true, so don't go saying something is fact when you haven't done the most rudimentary thinking. ''DmC is still Devil May Cry''. I'd say that's false, but it's highly debatable. Depends on your point of view.
''You can't act like Devil May Cry was some sophisticated masterpiece. It was freaking stupid. Dante was a freaking dork saying crap that no one in their right mind would ever say. I love Devil May Cry but it's stupid. It always has been. DmC isn't something to write home about but it sure as hell isn't any worse that what Devil May Cry already dished out in the narrative department.''
True, it really wasn't. But saying '''Dante was a freaking dork saying crap nobody in their right mind would ever say'' isn't even a well-founded opinion. It shows you don't understand why they made characters a certain way. Why DMC Dante wasn't an ordinary guy you could meet on the street. In any case, if you don't like that Dante, fine, but that's just an opinion.
I'm not going to say ''can't we all just get along?'', because we have the right to voice our opinions. However, if something could endanger the entire atmosphere and all relations on this website, that's where you draw the line. Lock it, if necessary. I say don't and let people ignore others if they want to until they've cooled down.
