Capcom/Ninja Theory's job is to sell the game. Consumers can buy whatever the f**k they want. For whatever reason (nerdrage included), consumers didn't want this game as much as Capcom hoped.  Simple as that.

I know it's simple, I was just wondering what the reason was, how much was nerdrage and self-fulfilling prophecy and how much was the game being bad.  From most opinions it seems to be fine.

I'm not a fan, I like the DMC series but it was never a day one buy for me. That said, I've read lots of comments about how easier the game has become gameplay wise. Not all the complaints are about his look/hair.  Some of what I've I've read : No more Styles, 30 fps instead of 60, Less challenging even on higher difficulties, much easier SSS(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNyNX0jY7aA), Demon dodge overpowered, The game is a solid game, but not DMC etc... I'm sure a fan of the DMC series who played this game can point them out much better than me.
