I'm not really a fan of the genre. I love dungeon crawlers like Diablo and Torchlight, but though I loved DMC when it first came out, I was later not able to get into it for some odd reason.

I'm thinking you're a fan of Bayonetta? I know that the guys who made it put a lot of creativity into it, but I personally haven't played it really. Is it true that it was a respected game prior to the U ordeal?


of course it was a respected game, and it still is.  Far as I've seen the only person calling its quality into question in any way is Kyliedog, and I'd take a wild guess that his opinion is not based on the Wii U announcement.  He dislikes lots of otherwise great things, he's kind of like machina in that way.  

This is just another one of those arguments where someone tries to argue that a group is being hypocritical, but in reality only individuals can be hypocrits.

To get you interested in its sequel (you'll end up getting a Wii U...), the guys that worked in the first DMC (and didn't make any other DMC game) made Bayonetta.

Funny, I only heard good things about Bayonetta until it was secured for the U.

The internet truly is full of paradoxes.

well it's a niche game really i'd say,i probably got side tracked by something else but its not my usual type of game although i'll give anything a play,i did enjoy what i played,about half,the PS3 bayonetta got bashed if i remember correctly for this and that,i'd expect bayonetta to look pretty damn good and be kind of crazy,it's linear action fighting with bosses & collectables and a bar to shop & upgrade in,well it was

Tough question, has to be games that aren't very good and that nobody actually wants outside a select few but very loud internet people. Like Bayonetta was.

Been rumours of Darkstalkers getting funded by Nintendo because Capcom knows nobody really likes Darkstalkers much outside a few old fighting game fans.

Vanquish maybe, another overrated on the internet game that sold like crap because it was actually a medicore shooter with a boost gimmick that lasted all of 6 hours.

You know, Vampire Hunter would be an awesome game to have, It would be really nice to see another one for sure!

Hypocrisy is a contagious thing, my dear Torillian. I have honestly never heard as much negative surrounding the prospect of a Bayo sequel than with this whole U thing. It's an observation, not a fact, so I'm just throwing it out there.

Having said that, I respect you giving the benefit of the doubt. It's something I'm still working on.

@Marcus. Flattery never was my forte.

I don't view it as being about "benefit of the doubt" I view it as being about proof.  You cannot prove a group to be hypocritical because they are not a hivemind.  You can prove an individual to be a hypocrite if you find two contradictory statements from the same person, this doesn't work for a group.

Could you correlate, if a few members of a group post the same negativity of something, couldn't you say that there is a form of bias due to either jealousy or conflict of interest? It's a known fact that certain gamers get jealous when what was exclusive against a console becomes exclusive to a console. The reason? Well, fanboyism. We've seen it happen before. Not that it's a bad thing, some people just want their platform of choice to outperform another so they can have a better ecosystem, nothing to go to jail about.

I'm not saying that's what's happening here, I'm just saying my reasoning isn't far-fatched. Though they aren't a hive-mind, they may have common interests that conflict with an event, causing their sentiments to match.



Ok, then let me try...
A good game with decent sales but not huge so Nintendo can afford the exclusivity

Persona 5 comes to mind, great reviews decent but not great sales and not very Hardware demanding
Soulcalibur VI, last edition sold less than a million copies and it has brand recognition
No More Heroes 3, the first 2 came to the Wii so a third one is a no brainer this time in HD
