That bull and you know it. DmC has a style that a lot of people like but a good chunk of the people who play it will buy it used. The new DMC had more contact and depth to the combat style than even MGR. Narrative style Hack N Slash titles are growing in profits away from the old Japanese style thanks to games like GOW. Even Platinum themselves will have to learn to increase the quality of their narrative to buffer the awesome hack n slash action from point A to point B. Everyone knows from Ninja Theory's mission statement that their main goal is to make Story based action/adventure games. The game was boycotted intentionally. Ninja Theory was better off working with Sony and making new IP's for them that dont step on the toes of niche franchises like DMC. |
Yes, a Capcom doesn't see a damn penny from any of these assumed customers, so the end result is still the same: DmC is a flop. And even Lolipop Chainsaw managed to sell more than DmC did. MGR is tracking 400,000+ units over DmC, God of War Ascension is already 200,000+ units ahead of DmC, and even the HD collection sold more than DmC. It didn't sell. And people buying the game used for half the price shows that, no, they don't like DmC as much as you think they do.
Okay, and now your contradicting yourself with "The game was boycotted". So are there millions of fans buying it used or not? And hell, if a game is boycotted, that goes even more against your "lots of people like DmC's style" claim.
They can't be stopped...
