Just because Dante isn't a real being in our world doesn't mean we don't have a connection with him. Loyal fans have been with him through the ups and downs of his virtual life for 9 years. And to all of a sudden stop since Capcom didn't know what the hell to do with the series without giving the series a good ending is just rude and careless. You would think that they would give a final farewell or a sendoff to the characters, but no. Instead they give us an unnecessary reboot out of nowhere and they expect us to welcome it with open arms, no questions ask. I don't think so, it doesn't work that way.
We've suffered through Nero, since he wasn't a re-imaging of an existing character. But to make the things Dante had that were unique obsolete, that's just an idiotic move. Why should we give this game a chance? Most importantly, why should we approach this game as DMC when its lacking the traits that identifies a DMC game?
Guess what? The books are the literal vision of the creator of the series. Movies tend to change alot of what make the series special for the readers, especially of a book series. Since Director's are quite stubborn and have different points of view of the book series more then the creator. Director's have more power over the license of the book then the creator himself. Since the creator gave permission for only the name and characters. Doesn't really mean anything, the director can miss the mark entirely on the creator's vision. So yea sum people might like the movies for different reasons, but mostly those people view it as a movie, not as a book series. The book series give more detail then what a movie ever will in 2 hours. Its only on those rare occasions when a movie is better then its book source or actually faithful to its booksource.
Sum people who are not into this DMC game are thinking of question like, Why should i give this game a chance? Why should i approach this as DMC? They might as well approach Enslaved or Bayonetta as DMC. We know Bayo and Enslaved aren't DMC, and since this new DMC barely looks identifiable to a regular DMC game, why should they approach it as the DMC game that they knew? Just because Capcom said so and just threw in the DMC name to garner attention? It doesn't work that way either. Like i've said in another post, i have a great puzzle game called DMC and its sponsored by Capcom, does that make it truly DMC?
Sum people even if you give them time might not get over it. And that's fine, that's there decision and we have to respect that. But forcing your views on them just because they go against what you think isn't right. They have just as much a right not to like the new DMC as much as you have a right to like the new DMC series. Whether you give them time or not.
Those same people you are defending are also those who force -their- views upon others, telling us of their hatred and will do all they can to stop this, making petitions, angry letters and what not.
Where is their respect to those who actually like it? Do they recognize and accept that there are people out there who actually thinks this reboot is a good idea and would love to see more? No, they aren't. Instead they are making these 'immature' statements and fills up the forums with their eternal gibbering about how much they hate this. And it is such immaturity we hope to end.
Some say this isn't a 'real' Devil May Cry and that it isn't 'real' Dante. Wake up and smell the coffee - it is real alright. Maybe not how you want it to be, but it is still very real, wether you like it or not. If you don't recognize it as a true Devil May Cry game, well, too bad then. Then you can sit and mope with your hatred for this game while the rest of us will enjoy it and have a good time. Because that's what it is all about, really. It is why they make games in the first place - to entertain us.
What is truly DMC is not for the fans to decide, it is the creators' decision. Resident Evil 5 is as much an RE game as much as Resident Evil 1. It has indeed changed throughout the series, yes, but it is -still- a Resident Evil game. And the same goes for Devil May Cry.
I am not forcing others to like this game and I am sure no one else is, as you said, it is people's own decision, but that doesn't mean someone like me, who actually likes this game so far (which means a trailer and some screenshots), can't hope to get some more positive responce from those who are being negative about it. It is not forcing my view on others by saying "I hope all those angry fans might change their minds when they see more of the game".
And about the Twilight fans - they can choose not to see the movies if they like the books better. Free will, ladies and gentlemen. If you don't like this new DmC reboot, then just don't buy it.
Now, as to your disappointment that Capcom aren't continuing the series and filling out some plotholes - I totally understand that. There are so much we haven't got answers for yet, like what are Nero's origins, is Vergil truly dead, what happened to Dante after he travelled to Hell, and so on. It would be nice if Capcom decided to make a game where they were explaining those things to us... unfortunately that is not the case. Instead they are starting over, telling the story anew with a new DmC and a new Dante. It is indeed a bit awkward of them, but they must have had some intentions in doing this. And personally I can't wait to see what that is.
So yeah... we get that you are all disappointed and angry, but a more openminded approach to this new DmC would be appreciated. If you can't do that, then maybe you will in time. And if you continue to hate it after the game's release, then you have the option to just leave it be and simply not spend your money on it.
