So, you admit it has more to do with then just his hair? That's good. Also, the look of a character isn't exactly insignificant, especially when that character has garnered a rather large fanbase and has been around for 10+ years. I highly doubt Nintendo fans would be a okay if Nintendo decded for the next Mario game they would make Mario obese (instead of just pudgy) and Luigi a midgit, as well as make their hair and mustache blonde. It just wouldn't fly and would get plenty of criticism. Besides, if you actually questioned them, I'm sure most would tell you what they don't like gameplaywise, whether it be the combat or controls. Which using the Mario comparison, again, would be like having to hold down the right shoulder button to run and hitting the A button to jump. That wouldn't be looked too kindly upon. |
I'm just saying what I've read. You're the first person I've heard give actual gameplay reasons for disliking it instead of just complaining about dante looking "emo". I haven't played any of the DMC games so I can't comment on quality.
As someone who loves Mario games, I couldn't care less if they made Mario blonde and obese and Luigi a midget.
