It is never the fans fault for not supporting something they dont want. Devil May Cry fans wanted Sonic the Hedgehog. They got Sonic and the Secret Rings. Hopefully you catch my drift. Japanese developers need to focus on delivering with fans want and less on what they dont. Now Im saying games should be made solely for the fans. They have to continue to expand and grow it, but DmC was grown in a way that in attracted no one. |
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.

Intentionally buying a game used is a buyer right but it also doesnt support the developer. Boycotting can be used to sabotage a company or product if they do not respond accordingly to your wishes. Capcom should've been given the finger from gamers for the DLC on MVC and their countless iterations of the same SF games for years. Buying a used game in no way goes back to a company, just to Gamestop and other used stores. Sabotaging a games user metacritic that has the highest reviewer score shows how childish a lot of gamers are. They need to cut those things off. I only buy used games I had no intention of buying at all in the past.
