And finally after DmC bombs Capcom will end the franchise.


I like the dumb down game? I never played a DmC game in my life.How is that even... nevermind.

As an observer, ever since the game was announced -or more accurately- ever since Dante's design was introduced, there's been nothing but embarrassing backlash from the so-called original fans of the series. The demo may have been out for a couple weeks, but the hate over Dante's hair has been circulating for over a year. Only recently have the 'fans' been using other excuses to justify their silly reason of hating the game other than the hair.  I guess even they realized how childish it was.

Now, the reason you stated... you realize it was just a demo you played, right? A demo that showcased a taste of the game. You don't have the full game so instead of copy/paste reasons from the typical DmC trasher, why not go out and buy it, play it, then give me some feedback.

Whether the game bombs or not, and it could very well bomb. What confirmation do you have that it's going to bomb or that the franchise is going to end? I hate subjective statements like that. This goes to show your emotion is interfering with your thought process. You're no different than the dark-haired Dante haters that you point out.

You wanna reason with someone whos first reaction after seeing the reviews was this.

And having tried the hardest difficulty I know for a fact that this game is brutal (and thats not counting the 2 hidden difficulties,

one which you die with one hit!)

The combat is fast and it gets progressively better and harder with every level.

Combo chains options are endless and the different enemy types forces you to change up and mix different weapons in  

middle of combat. I had doubts that NT can nail the gameplay of DMC seeing their previous tiles combat style was slow,

but they created a really good DMC with an intersting take and amazing style.

Gameplay, crazy combos, challenge, 60 FPS.


Looks sick, Platinum Games by far make the best action games. They play so smooth.

Just when you thought Dante fanboys and girls can't get angerier.

NT decides to troll them 10 seconds into the game lol.


This is pure gold!!! xD

DMC is freaking awesome let those idiots be angry.

People who use Metacritic are usually ridiculous so this doesn't surprise me.
Makes me laugh when people try and use it in an argument on here in some threads... It's like taking reference from 'The Sun' newspaper

Here's NT thanking a magazine for its high score even before it went to print:

Spin it however you want. Honestly most reviewers are casual DMC players or never tried the game before. 

DmC: God of War edition- easy mode all the time

Go try do that in DMC3.

And you people are giving these trolls the attention they desperately seek.

Don't worry about Metacritic.

The people who want to play the game will play it. Those to don't want to won't play it.

What your seeing is people who want to prevent other gamers from playing this game for whatever reason. Whatever reasons those maybe are not our problem. In the end the individual will decide to think for themselves and elect to play the game for themselves. If they can't make that decision without someone else's opinion, its really not our problem.

When I buy a game, I buy it so I can play it, not because someone I don't know over the Internet can play it.

I don't put much stock in user reviews, and a lot of the time critical reviews are an approximation, its you who decides to play the game, no one else can decide that for you, no matter how hard they try!

That's never what it was about. From the beginning it's always been about the new character design. It's absurd to give any other excuse -gameplay wise- when the game only came out today.

Honestly I've never been so disgusted with fans my whole life as a gamer. This game trashing because of white hair turning black is fucking ridiculous.

It's always been about the hair. You wouldn't be using gifs of a completely different game if you had a good argument to explain the backlash isn't anything but the hair.

There's been a demo for a month now.

Explaining it to you won't change a thing, you already like that dumbed down DmC gameplay but I'll keep it short: gameplay is a step back, slow game, no challenge even on hard difficulty, few enemies on screen, 30 FPS, you can get a SSS with 2 axe combos, boring bosses.

As a stand alone game DmC looks good but as a Devil May Cry is a step back, its more God of War than DMC. That gif of MGR is just to show what hack and slash games are all about (gameplay, crazy combos, 60 FPS, challenge) Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden 1 are good examples too. Yes there are people that bash the game just for the hair but the majority know very well that the hair is the least of the problems.

And finally after DmC bombs Capcom will end the franchise.

Why would I buy the game if I didn't like the demo? thats idiotic.

Isn't demos so you can try the game and see if you want to buy it? 

If the game bombs (and I think it will but who knows really) Capcom which has become a really greddy company will cancel the whole franchise because of the multimillion dollar blunder called DmC. Capcom cancelled Megaman Legends 3 because even a low resolution handheld game was "too risky" for them.

Anyhow keep thinking is about the hair, I'm a hater, a whiner. I'll miss Devil May Cry but at least we still have MGR.

I wonder if i was to look back in some older posts would i find you complaining about the game before trying the demo??. just asking.

Also its clear to me you never planned to give the game a chance from the offset.

If i was to of went by the demo of a game i would of thought Sleeping Dogs was a pile of boring shit, i ended up getting a warzed copy for pc and it instandly changed into one of my games of the year and best open world game this gen imo, so good that after the first few minutes of playing i had to go and buy the game.

In other words a Demo is not something for you the judge the final game on and it even says so on demos.

But like i said your not going to take this into account as you dont want to like the game you never planned on liking the game and your just pissed off cos his hair was changed and nothing you say will make me think otherwise.

Im a big DMC fan have been since the very first game, i hated this game when i first seen it too, but the more and more i seen of it i found my self liking what i was seeing, so yeah here will be one old time DMC fan that cant wait to pick up this game once it launchs here.


Go look them up if you have the time, I was more open minded about it before the demo "not my cup of tea, everyone else enjoy" "is just a spin-off" but then I realised DmC will replace Devil May Cry if it sales well and if it bombs the franchise is over.
