Yeah I've learned to stay faaar away from youtube lol. I've actually had someone start talking **** to me at gamestop for no reason after seeing me buy it. I literally thought I was going to get beat up and the only thing that saved me is probably because I'm a chick. Don't let it get to you or stress you out though. People like that aren't worth your time, just have fun and enjoy the game, it's their loss anyway
Geeze...what the hell happened to make you think you'd get beat up...? I don't think in all my years of working at GameStop I'd have people pick fights over a game.
On topic: I do have to say that in part, it is true that some of the fanbase is to blame, strictly because they let themselves be taken in by a lot of misinformation, being overly sensitive about sh*t having to do with the game that ultimately has no bearing on the game itself, and just outright bullshit hubris.
I think every DMC fan needs to cast away any and all preconceived notions and at least play the actual game (somehow) to judge strictly for themselves how they feel about DmC, rather than listening to everyone else, and watching other people who don't play anything like the individual would..
