Didn't Ninja Theory start out making a faithful DMC design and then got told by CAPCOM to completely change everything and make it more accessable to new people as they hired NT to make a NT DmC game not to just make another DMC game, knowing that it would piss off long term fans. And isn't being rediculous what people liked about the DMC games in terms of plot and characters etc so is that really an insult to the old games? And if I was getting death threats and personal harassment of my family over doing what the publisher wanted I would probably give those people the finger (or worse) as well. Capcom had producers aparently holding their hands and visiting for a week out of each month, so it's not like Ninja Theory just went off and did their own thing by themselves.

OT: DmC looks pretty meh, but plenty of (sometimes great) games get user review bombed is that really news worthy? I mean I would wager most of the user reviews are from people that didn't even bother playing the demo first. Might pick it up on a Steam sale tho as the PC port is aparently quite good and it might be fun to go through.

Thats what a rational person says.

"I liked the demo" or "I never got into the other games but this one looks good".

The issue with these DMC 'fans' is that they get upset when anyone wants to play the game or anyone says that it looks good. This Metacritic affair is an attempt of these 'fans' to prevent other gamers from playing the game. To try and prevent gamers from playing the game they say things like:

"Ninja Theory hurt my feelings, that means no one is allowed to play this game now"

"The framerate has been cut to 30 FPS; it dosen't matter that the PS3 and the Xbox are outdated consoles, and as a 'true' DMC fan I have the option of a PC version which will run at over 200 frames per second. No those things don't matter because Ninja Theory hurt my feelings when they said the consoles wouldn't allow them to do 60 FPS."

"It dosen't matter that Hideki Kamiya (creator of the series) has given the game his blessing, because I'm a 'true' DMC 'fan' and I have to go into therapy because Ninja Theory hurt my feelings".

I think that these DMC 'fans' have realised that they've wasted two years of their lives sending death threats to the developers; now their using the only methods they have at their disposal to vindicate how they've wasted two years of their lives attempting to dicate our rights.

The point I'm making is. When I buy a game I buy it so I can play it, I don't buy it so people I don't know on the Internet can play it. They have no right to dicate anyone else's right to play this game. This Metacritic affair is just another example of the extreme lenghts they will go to because 'their' feelings have been hurt.

I have no doubt if these 'fans' could burn every copy of DmC they would do it.
