This is what is all about:

Gameplay, crazy combos, challenge, 60 FPS.


That's never what it was about. From the beginning it's always been about the new character design. It's absurd to give any other excuse -gameplay wise- when the game only came out today.

Honestly I've never been so disgusted with fans my whole life as a gamer. This game trashing because of white hair turning black is fucking ridiculous.

It's always been about the hair. You wouldn't be using gifs of a completely different game if you had a good argument to explain the backlash isn't anything but the hair.

There's been a demo for a month now.

Explaining it to you won't change a thing, you already like that dumbed down DmC gameplay but I'll keep it short: gameplay is a step back, slow game, no challenge even on hard difficulty, few enemies on screen, 30 FPS, you can get a SSS with 2 axe combos, boring bosses.

As a stand alone game DmC looks good but as a Devil May Cry is a step back, its more God of War than DMC. That gif of MGR is just to show what hack and slash games are all about (gameplay, crazy combos, 60 FPS, challenge) Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden 1 are good examples too. Yes there are people that bash the game just for the hair but the majority know very well that the hair is the least of the problems.

And finally after DmC bombs Capcom will end the franchise.

lol you guys should see some of the reactions the Giant Bomb review got ..it was hilarious

To a certain extent the fault IS with the dev...they should have kept their mouths shut

Hmmm, based on what I played, I might give it a 10, but based on the artstyle, it deserves way less;

Somebody please post the gif of Donte getting a SSS combo with the use of three moves so that people can realize this is more than justified.

yes more than justified, the game should get an average score of 28 percent, not 70% or 60%, 28%! probably less because it is MORE than justified.

lol seriously...if the game wouldn't have the name dmc, exactly the same guys  would rate the game minimum with 65 or so on average, that shows how laughable it is what they give the game.

I like the dumb down game? I never played a DmC game in my life.How is that even... nevermind.

As an observer, ever since the game was announced -or more accurately- ever since Dante's design was introduced, there's been nothing but embarrassing backlash from the so-called original fans of the series. The demo may have been out for a couple weeks, but the hate over Dante's hair has been circulating for over a year. Only recently have the 'fans' been using other excuses to justify their silly reason of hating the game other than the hair.  I guess even they realized how childish it was.

Now, the reason you stated... you realize it was just a demo you played, right? A demo that showcased a taste of the game. You don't have the full game so instead of copy/paste reasons from the typical DmC trasher, why not go out and buy it, play it, then give me some feedback.

Whether the game bombs or not, and it could very well bomb. What confirmation do you have that it's going to bomb or that the franchise is going to end? I hate subjective statements like that. This goes to show your emotion is interfering with your thought process. You're no different than the dark-haired Dante haters that you point out.

If you mean deductively, as in his hair goes white eventually in the series, yeah. I see your point.

If you mean it literally turns  at the end of THIS game. Why the fuck are you quoting me with spoilers of the game?

Why would I buy the game if I didn't like the demo? thats idiotic.

Isn't demos so you can try the game and see if you want to buy it? 

If the game bombs (and I think it will but who knows really) Capcom which has become a really greddy company will cancel the whole franchise because of the multimillion dollar blunder called DmC. Capcom cancelled Megaman Legends 3 because even a low resolution handheld game was "too risky" for them.

Anyhow keep thinking is about the hair, I'm a hater, a whiner. I'll miss Devil May Cry but at least we still have MGR.



Metacritic user review section of the DMC is basically only there for fans of the devil may cry franchise to express there hate towards the new direction the franchise has taken and say "Fuck you" to NT for not listening to fans of the that got devil may cry to where it is today.
