This is what is all about:

Gameplay, crazy combos, challenge, 60 FPS.

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.

So you get joy on this game bombing cause you don't like it? A game that I can only imagine had many hours of work and money invested in? Without having to tried the final game (I assume you have not purchased and/or beaten the game). You must be quiet the righteous man.

Also, i can't believe people like thismentiel feel insulted over the hair joke, which i found hysterical. How butthurt can we be over this? It's cool to bash a game's rep on metacritic with a bunch of biased player reviews but NT takes a stab at the haters and suddenly this is the kiss of death. We, gamers, are some whiny, bitchy pussies.
