My question is just how many of the people saying they hate it have actually played the game from a neutral perspective, if at all?
I don’t think it’s going to be an amazing game by any means, but it’s crazy the amount of backlash that changing a guy’s look has made. (Admit it or not, that is where the vast majority of the hate for the game comes from.)
My mom’s committing herself today. She’s going on major bipolar cycles, lost it completely the other day and hasn’t slept in like 30 hours, knows its better to go inpatient than kill herself.
Don’t like to be a downer, but I really don’t have anyone over here to share it with, so I just needed to vent a bit.
So far 2013 ain’t looking so hot either. But I guess, I’m just grateful she has the presence of mind to walk into the hospital instead of trying to OD. If she was gone, I don’t have much reason to return to the states…like at all. My dad and grandma sure, but we didn’t really have a relationship until I was 13. So for people that were with me from day one, it’s basically my mom left. My grandma and grandpa on her side are dead, my aunt and cousins, but my older cousin barely contacts me, my aunt is give or take at times, and my younger cousin’s planning on following me to Asia to do humanitarian work.
Kicker is my mom doesn’t have much in the way of money, no insurance, so an inpatient mental health treatments going to really jack her. Really makes me feel bad, like WTF do I do?
저는 론 버건디 입니까?
Yeah, it’s definitely the hair. It’s not the lack of lock-on, or the uninspired, garbage weapons, or the story that’s up its own ass, or the laughable dialogue, or the fact that Ninja Theory blows ass and had the gall to actually say “The reviews that say our game is bad are fake.”
It’s totes the fact that he has the Half-Skrillex going on.
if you like dubstep you might like the new “DMC”.
Oh, don’t be mistaken: I know exactly what makes the game non-DMC.
That still doesn’t make what I said untrue. The hate started long before any of what you said was even remotely evident.
I actually happened to like both Heavenly Sword and Enslaved, so I have no issue with Ninja Theory. They weren’t 10/10 games, but they were solid 7’s. Heavenly Sword actually had some of my favorite characters of this current console generation.
I’m not defending DmC - I’m simply saying that a lot of people seem to hate it strictly because they changed Dante. (Nevermind that a lot of people on these boards probably never played as Dante in a game before they stuck him in MvC3 anyway.)
uh, go through the motions to get her health insurance for her since she’s incable of doing it herself?
or get a second job and pay for hr to enter a good institution?
or make a thread her at GD to ask for donations for her?
rob a bank?
man whore?
no seriously though…its fucked up about your momz.
mental illness is the worst type of disease there is.
its the illness that lies to you and tells you you are healthy when you are not.
it tells you everyone else is the sick one except for you.
my prescription for your depression:
20cc’s of lapdances
stat!
I dunno, man. I get the idea that it’s shat on more because of how they changed Dante, but really, it’s not the reason for people to say, en masse, that the game is mediocre. I never got all that into DMC myself. I played 3 and 4, but not for very long, but from the sounds of it, mechanically it’s a far cry from its predecessors, and it looks to have been written and directed by a 12 year old boy.
To me, that doesn’t sound like an 86. Can’t make a solid call myself as I haven’t played it, but I have seen gameplay clips and whatnot, so I have a slight feel of it. Now, if it wasn’t for the fact that review scores are fucked up in general (if you’re below 60, you’re absolute shit, even though that should be “slightly above average”), I’d say it sounds like a solid 40-50. But, review scores being as dumb as they are, I’d modify it to it sounding like a 70, tops. I know it’s definitely not something I have an interest in, though, and I don’t think I’d bother with it unless it becomes a PS Plus freebie.
2 1/2 hours of listening to Tyler the Creator and I’m about ready to break everything in this Barnes and Noble
Just don’t confuse us for people like Maxamillion, who gave a demo review on DmC before it was released to the public, only really played Dante and Vergil once UMvC3 came out, never finished DMC1,2,3, and 4 yet still wants to give his opinion on the games. The same guy that just now beat those games THIS YEAR and sucked at every single one of them for being a “high level gamer”. Don’t get me started on his annoying sidekick.
If you really think, and I’m not saying that you are, that a lot people only hate the game because of Dino alone then you would be no better than the reviewers still thinking till this day that the OG fans hate Dino because of his hair only.
Enslaved had horrible combat, with a total of like 5 combos through the entire game, but other aspects of the game were decent. The more I see of DmC, the less interesting it looks. Ninja Theory is good in creating certain aspects of their games, but creating a fun, deep combat system is not one of them. Watching videos of DmC makes it look sluggish and slow, not to mention certain enemies can only be killed with certain weapon-types, which is really fucking dumb. It doesn’t even look as good as DMC1, and DMC1 has been surpassed by a lot of other action games in the gameplay department.
I don’t think he has to have played the previous games to form an opinion on this new game that is supposed to be entirely divergent from the originals.
it’s apparently a prequel to the other devil may cry games (also maybe an alternate reality or some other retarded scenario) and since it is sharing the title of DMC/DmC i would say that having played them could only help to give a good review of this newest version.
All perfectly valid points. Like I said, anyone who dislikes the game for any technical faults, or simply because the gameplay is not fun, I have no qualms with whatsoever. 
Just as with most things in the FGC, and the gaming community as a whole, there is a hivemind sort of mentality where everyone sort of loves something or sort of hates something and they don’t always know why. In the case of DmC, I’ve noticed a crazy amount of hate before it was even known how the game would play, and from what I’ve read a lot of it is literally based on aesthetics of a character (well, that and “FUCK YOU!!!” 
)
That’s like saying, “Yeah, the Transformer movies were ALL awesome and I never seen any of the cartoons from the 80’s cuz I was born in 1993, but I totally know what’s really good.”
Calling a game Devil may Cry: Devil May Cry is not what you should consider “entirely divergent”.
It’s like taking every character from X-Men, keeping all of their names, but only changing everything about their personalities, their powers, and if they are good mutants or not.
Oh wait…
A game that’s entirely different from the originals shouldn’t have been made as a sequel/spiritual successor. DmC should have been its own game with a different name.
A new game in a series, whether it’s a prequel/sequel/reboot/whatever will always be compared to other entries in the series, regardless.
-Street Fighter IV. Once I started comparing it to my experiences with other SF entries, I dropped it. While on its own it’s an alright game, I started to compare it to its far superior predecessors and then I realized how much of a piece of shit it was in comparison.
-Diablo III. Really fun game on its own, but then when you compare to Diablo II, you realize it’s a piece of shit in comparison.
-Quake 4. Alright game, but it was from different developers of the first 3, and was no where near as good as the first 3 in comparison.
-DmC. “Spiritual successor” to the DMC series. Maybe an alright game on its own(lol) but when compared to other games in the series, it’s a piece of shit.
Ninja Gaiden III: This is more personal than others, because I’m playing it right now and I bought it going in knowing it was supposedly shit off the bat. Crazy thing is that it’s really fun, but the more I compare to NG1 and 2, the less I enjoy it because of how far the gameplay has fallen in comparison to those games. There are other aspects they fucked up too, but gameplay is always the main thing, and they fucked up. If I were to play DmC, I’d probably enjoy it to an extent–until I started comparing to the other 4 in the series. Then, I’d probably drop it so I could go back to other, more fun and enjoyable games in the series with more depth. I almost did with NGIII the other day, but I plan to play it through. There’s some NG1/2 greatness in there, among the large piles of shit.
TLDR: I’m about to smoke. When I first started smoking again last week, shit would drain the hell out of me physically and mentally. My body couldn’t hang anymore, but I’ve smoked enough again to get it back into shape for the cancerous punishment.
That’s some lame nostalgia shit though. Just because you liked the 80’s cartoons doesn’t mean somebody totally ignorant that they ever existed can’t enjoy the Transformers movies.
Were they amazingly well written movies that deserve praise? Not in my opinion. But you can’t tell somebody their opinion is wrong simply because they aren’t on some hipster bullshit where everything has to stick to the original concept or be trash.
Pro tip: When you stop hating, everything is suddenly better.
Let me be clear too, I am not condoning the new DMC. I haven’t played it and have no interest to do so. I’m just pointing out how ridiculous some of you sound when talking about opinions and reviews.
sup guyz
also shaft i havent forgotten about you, i was just on another plane of e-xistence for a bit
I forgot to mention regarding this… They pretty much did… They called it Ultimate Marvel, and a lot of it is pretty damn good…
Didn’t they give Dr. Doom goat legs? :bluu:
