That's not what I recall...
What I remember is accusations of sexism, overall criticism of some gameplay aspects (first person elements mostly), and criticism regarding the story/cutscenes/dialogue. The game was widely considered by the critics to be considerably worse than the Prime games, with a Metacritic score of 79 compared to the Prime games that are in the 90s, with even Hunters above it with an 85 score.
On the other hand, this game was rated around the same as DMC 3 and 4 (84-87), only below the first one, with little criticism towards it. And after that, articles appeared about how "entitled DMC fanboys" or "haters" were the only ones against this game, without apparently having any valid criticism. Like this one:

But of course, I can imagine some of these "journalists" either doing that or the opposite, so I'll take your word for it if you say it happened... I just hope that gamers in general stop treating review scores as anything other than opinions (at best), even when these agree with you. Oh, and I would like to see review scores return to whatever arithmetic hell they came from...
