It's official, Devil May Cry fans are the worst fans ever

[xefaros]

I dont know why DMC fanboys cried about the game that much.It had a story thats a first for the franchise,it had more content than previous games,replayability,difficulty cap,quite a lot of moves and new mechanics to keep the game fresh.Just because the main character is cheesy does that mean the game is bad?Of course not.The cheesyness fitted the characters timeline.I am wondering if someone really cares about the main character or story apart from the combo fighting awesomeness it offers.The art style if i remember correctly resembled DMC3,apart from limbo which seemed nice and fancy

The only thing i didnt like about the game was the SO many weapons and restrictions on to which enemy u should use each weapon but i could beat up demons so i got my money's worth

Honest question, and I'm not trying to offend anyone...

How come most of the time when I see an american person or group protesting, someone brings up something about rights? Again I'm not trying to offend anyone and I know this isn't exactly the topic to not offend anyone but it's still baffling how some people find a way to shovel rights into any arguement.

Probably because they have the illusion that america is still the land of the free and protesting is hardwired into their brains and the fastest way to win an argument with the government is to prove that it infringe the law
(European's point of view)

come on people, this is a forum post not a national publication. he or she was obviously exaggerating with the title to make a point. still you have to admit, the reaction about dmc from the vocal minority has been pretty fuckin immature and obnoxious. whether they represent the majority of the community or not, they are still representing the community so its not surprising that people would think they reflect the views of the community, as a whole

One, the story was largely lifted from DMC 3. Two, less content that previous games. Three, replayability is lowered because the game is easier and doesn't hand out neat rewards to make you feel your time was well spent. Four, the difficulty cap is a very silly reason to claim DmC shouldn't be decried by DMC fans. Five, DMC 3 likely has more moves (not to mention more interesting weapons) than DmC. Six, there are no new mechanics aside from the angelic and demonic weapon system. That is the only new mechanic. The chain-sickle thing? It's just Nero's Devil Bringer.

The art style is exactly the same as Ninja Theory's previous games (which admittedly is a minor gripe, it looks nice.) but is a massive difference from DMC, and quite the jarring change it makes. Bright dayglo landscapes in particular.

Granted, this petition only received 66 signatures before it was removed from the website. Despite that though, it could still have had a large impact on the image of the gaming community. Image if you will, if this petition had gotten more signatures and would not have been pulled from the website. What image would that cast on the gaming community?

It would've cast no image on the gaming community if journo blowhards had some restraint and didn't pounce on fanbases any chance they have, with the sole intent of click baiting.

 

[KeyMaster45]

Wait, I thought Mass Effect fans were the worst, or was that League of Legends...no, no wait it was Blizzard fans. No, that's not right either. Dammit now I'm going to have to check the ledger.

 

[JagermanXcell]

I'm OFFICIALLY a bad guy? Kind of hurt my feelings there friend... :'(

I could really care less about this game, played it, beat it, disliked it, washed it off with some DMC3, moved on to play some Fallout New Vegas or something.

But in defense of the fans who are "Against" this game: Its not that we don't like change, its the way the Dev team behind the game treated the old fans.
They called us sheep, insulted us IN THE GAME with the white hair joke (making it seem like thats all we're complaining about... which is wrong, dead wrong), and Tameem shows absolute disrespect towards the original source material/fans CONSTANTLY through his tweets, interviews, ect. In a nutshell, there IS legitimate reason for complaints.

If the game was made by professionals who didn't act like children, I'd be soft on it. Maybe even enjoy it for what it is.
But its not, so screw them and this game.

Fans don't whine and scream because they're bad fans. They whine and scream because they're good fans that care about the integrity of the game. When you love something, you don't want that something to be horribly mutilated and turned into something you despise, so naturally you fight it, and then whine about it.

-SNIP-

nope sonic fanboys are still the worst what fanbase bitches about everything from the voice actors to the eye color of sonic himself? I have yet to see a worse fanbase than that fanbase dmc bitching isn't even close to the level sonic fanboys have built

But then they lose objectivity and violently hate anything that isn't exactly what they want (which, being multiple people, is never the same one thing).

Even if DMC was a perfect game it still would've had the same reaction.

There's a reason every franchise on the planet has been "ruined forever" according to the gaming community, and it's not because the games are all bad.

 

[Something Amyss]

One guy makes a hilarious troll petition, thus the entire DMC fanbase is now the worst ever?

This is how the internet works. One person does something, entire group maligned.

 

[el_kabong]

I don't think that they're the worst ever. However, I am shocked at the sheer amount of vitriol aimed at DMC, particularly when it's critical reception has been relatively warm. Fuck, how terrible can a game be if the hardest to please critics give it a recommendation (cough*Yahtzee*cough)? The lowest critic review I've seen was the equivalent of a 6 or 7 out of 10, which is still a good rating. Did they release two versions of the game? One that apparently the critics and I have played and one that is full of fail that all these haters played.

It's a shame that an incredibly competent (and, in my opinion, fun) game is being railroaded.

 

[DrunkenMonkey]

Generalizations they corrupt the mind as well as the soul eating away at a person's humanity until only the sinister shell of a troll remains....

Anywho.... I can say the exact same fucking thing about Star Wars fans with their fucking proposal to the government about building a death star, even after the estimated theoretical costs became known. I honestly hope that whole thing was a joke and my sense of humor is just broken, because if not well I just don't know.

But I won't because I know deep in my heart that it wasn't the collective Star Wars fans that proposed just a few dumbasses with too much "force" on their brains.

 

[Judgement101]

Awesome, I love be labeled because a few vocal members of the community say something stupid. By that logic, I now can say that everyone on The Escapist is a cynic, overly critical, and lives in Australia because Yahtzee is a vocal member of the community here.

Seriously, enough with these damn generalizations.

So the outcry is about gameplay mechanics?I thought it was about that cheesy teenager posing as the badass pizza loving dante because thats mostly the difference that i noticed,that and the lack of puzzles.

I dont remember DMC3 that well but i think it didnt have 1hit die mode and i think i spent more time finishing DmC than DMC3 and that seemed to me that added replayability and difficulty.The reward didnt seem bad to me,i kill demons what is more satisfying also they got those achievements thing intergrated.
Anyway i know DMC3 did it better but i am giving the benefit of the doubt because of the decent PC port

OHMYGOD! The ghost of Ghclicks has been given new form. Yet, despite being equally radical, now resides in an individual who is on the opposite side of the fence. Oh fate, you are indeed a cruel mistress.

Seriously though, I'm assuming OP is making a tongue in cheek reference to that previous thread, though I don't think it was effectively as funny as they'd hoped. That or it's all just one big amusing coincidence.

A Year Ago: CoD fans are the Worst Fans Ever

6 Months ago: Bioware Fans are the Worst Fans Ever

Today: DMC Fans are the worst Fans ever

And the Cycle continues for another age, all is right with the world

Update: I am now aware that the white house petition was just joke and I thank everyone for telling me about it. I also want to note when I'm talking about a fan base, i'm being very general. I'm aware that their are sane fans out there who either A) aren't pissed off by the new game and B) who don't like but aren't like the folks on meteoritic. That said, I still think that this situation is still pretty stupid. It's now shown that Boycott is now a joke and won't be taken seriously. So, if an issue that is important, it'll be written off as childish complaints. Boycott is a powerful word, but, in the gaming community, it's a joke.


original story:
We've seen some pretty stupid boycotts and petitions. From Mass Effect fans wanting the ending changed, to Left 4 Dead 2 for being announced, we've seen many boycotts, but of all the ones, this one takes the fucking cake. Remember when Sonic fans complained about Sonic 4 and eyes being green and they were gonna buy Sonic 1 instead? Well, Devil May Cry fans take that a step further to prove how stupid they are and now make a petition to get it pulled of store shelves:

http://www.screwattack.com/news/devil-may-cry-fans-will-whine
http://kotaku.com/5977888/devil-may-cry-fans-this-is-not-how-democracy-works

Are you kidding me? This the biggest load I've heard. You don't own Devil May Cry nor are you part of it's development. You buy the game, that's it. If your so upset with the new one, then either don't buy it or buy HD collection or Devil May Cry 4. Tell me how the hell does this "violates our rights to have a choice between the original's or the reboot," if the originals are still available on current consoles? Also, Simply because "it changed so much" is not a good reason. Why don't I make a petition to get a new Bionic Commando for the PS3 and 360 or a new Resident Evil game because it wasn't like the old games? Oh, and just because you didn't want a reboot is not a good enough reason either. If so, then we should go out and destroy every movie remake ever made because no one wanted a Remake of Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elms Street, and Total Recall.

I'm kind of sick of posts like this, usually because they're either made by kotaku or ign. Let's be perfectly clear here, there are plenty of reasons to hate on DmC, aswell as reasons to love it. Someone expressing their opinion as to one or more of them is perfectly fine. Saying you loved it and would like to see more of the reboot is perfectly fine. Saying you liked neither is perfectly fine. Your post is complete rubbish and you should feel bad, people can be pissed off about the reboot because it gives the series an unceremonious end. Unless you're channeling your inner dictator, it's not your place to tell someone what their opinion should be.
Your Sonic comparison is vapid unoriginal crap. Sonic did not have drastic alterations to gameplay, story, and character. Also, calling a series an entire fanbase stupid because of a some guys joke? Seriously?

A "fanbase" may not own devil may cry, but the "fanbase" gets the last laugh here. The mop on the head was a lovely jab from ninja theory, but seeing as the game flopped harder than an obese man off the tall board, I doubt they'll be getting many christmas cards. Fitting that the sequel designed to entice more players sold half as many copies at launch as it's predecessor despite having a longer launch week.

Indeed, their attempt to try and make the series hit a bigger audience has blown up in CAPCOM's face. Guess they better rethink this. For all of NT's swagger they sure as hell don't know how to design or write games.

Look at what some critics had to say about it:

Or even Yahtzee who admitted he can't even do pause combos and just button mashes and is known to hate anything Japanese? Or the other reviews that do nothing but tear it apart and give it a 9/10 for BS reasons? Let me just remind you that Dragon Age II also was praised by critics.

When the old DMC fans voiced their displeasure they are immediately dismissed with "it's just the hair" even when pointing out the butchered gameplay or other flaws. Not to mention Tameem's act of pissing on the fans at every opportunity and over glorifying his game. DmC is a piss easy button masher instead of a challenging stylish hack em up and critics hate hard games. If it's really as good as the reviewers say why are there so many haters and so little sales?

I keep seeing "It's official" used around here a lot lately.
