ANYWAY! The point here, is that DmC is not selling as well as Capcom hoped it would as they have now gone and halved the sales expectations from this title. While to me, this is neither good or bad, I came across an article that royally pissed me the fuck off.
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/capcom-almost-halves-dmc-sales-expectations/0110372
This article, written by Ben Parfitt basically just outlines what is going on with the sales figures for the game. But he doesn't just say that, he's saying that fans are destroying this games sales figures out of spite, because they changed Dante's hair colour.
Never in my life have I seen a more ignorant prick write things on the internet about video games, and this is coming from ME who writes plenty of garbage on this blog. He agrees with the notion that "Devil May Cry fans destroy brand out of spite", which is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
People aren't buying the game because its vastly different GAME PLAY WISE to what they are used to. But it's not just different, it's been heavily dumbed down compared to past games, so the whole reason people enjoyed Devil May Cry has basically been removed from DmC. Couple that with some of the juvenile writing I've ever seen and it's a good recipe for making people turn away.
Not one person gave a fuck about Dante's design once some game play came out, NOT ONE, but this doesn't matter. Newsflash for you Ben, players don't owe Capcom or Ninja Theory anything. People aren't buying the game because it looks ass, not out of spite. Ben Parfitt isn't the only idiot to say stuff like this though, I have seen a couple of articles now calling the fans a bunch of whiny babies for not buying DmC.
But here is the thing, the Devil May Cry HD Collection, to my knowledge, is actually doing pretty fuckin' good. THAT should be an indication of why DmC isn't fucking selling. Fans don't want your easy mode "FUCK YOU" garbage, they want more of stuff like Devil May Cry 3/4.
I can't wait to find a pre owned copy of DmC so I can really tear it apart but there is no way I'm giving a penny to Ninja Theory or Capcom for this shoddy excuse of a Devil May Cry game. Also one more thing! When I was raging about the game play to my friends on steam and such, they would just say to me "if you don't like the look of it, then don't buy it", which makes sense right, but apparently all fans who don't buy things that they don't like the look of are now all spiteful babies
Fuck you Ben Parfitt and fuck all the "journalists" that posted articles with similar themes. I suggest that you take those pay cheques and give them to my Charity, because you sure as fuck don't deserve it for the type of drivel that comes out of your head.
