Well, there's no point in telling you it's a joke since you already know. I'd like to say that the Mass Effect 3 incident wasn't stupid, the ending fucking sucked. Also, how many of the people who didn't like the ending actually boycotted the game? As everyone that hated the ending would have bought, played and completed the game.

Why do i feel like i saw this thread before?
Oh, right, it's because of the 2 billion other threads that gets started, everytime an angry fanbase does anything at all.
The title "Worst fanbase EVAR!!!" does get handed out alot around here.
Seriously why do you care about a petition that is obviously trying to troll you?

IMHO, the new Dante is only a douche for about ~20 minutes of the game, in fact, he is more caring and well, human than the original.

I guess that the fans are so blinded by their rage that they haven't even taken time to watch reviews/cutscenes of the game on YouTube.

But seriously, to be this bored that you have to make petitions to ban the game is just sad, honestly.

This post is as ridiculous as the glChicks one on the opposing side.

And, a petition, while here done poorly, but for comedic effect, is a good way of showing producers that they have an audience. Producers make things for money. You'll only get your video game if they think enough people will buy it. Petitions are actually a pretty decent way to do this.

I am so happy to see this game flopped. This will probably spell doom for the series, but I no longer care. I just don't want to see it carry on like this.

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:

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.
Anyone else getting tired of all the "x fans are the worst ever!" crap that so many people keep spewing? Hearing all about how every single person who's a fan of ME / MLP / Star Wars / Star Trek / Twilight / ICP / rap / Beiber / CoD / Halo / DMC / Sonic / furry / BF / Valve / Bethesda / WoW / sports / Nintendo / PS3 / Xbox 360 / PC gaming / etc. are unholy abominations who think the world revolves around them (even though that's almost always a loud minority of said group) got really old a long, long time ago. No, whatever fandom you hate is not the worst ever. It never is. There are FAR too many fandoms out there for that fandom to compete with, especially once politics and religion get involved (btw, please don't turn this into an R&P debate, whoever reads this). Considering how many people the DMC fandom HASN'T literally killed in real life, they definitely haven't deserved that title.

I will give you this though - you are definitely right about boycotts being a joke in the gaming community, as are petitions. Has a boycott or petition ever worked in the gaming industry?

Nope... You are using the new Total Recall as a example, which is not only a bad remake, but a bad movie all together. If you are trying to get you point across try actually using one remake or reboot which was good.
DmC may be a bad reboot of the franchise, but it's a solid game on it's own. If DmC wasn't been called DmC instead something of "Jorge in the Shiny Land" (I can't name things for shit) or whatever it would get much less hate that it get, now if Total Recall was named "The Great Brit Elevator" it wouls still be a shallow movie with the best goddamn title ever, the wasted oportunity to have a girl-on-girl scene with that one chick from Underworld and the other one from Texas Chainsaw Massacre and overall interesting but shallow of a story.

Captcha: Talk to strangers.

Well that's a nice lesson for the kids.

I have one simple question: If the reboot uses nothing of the original IP except in name only, then why didnt they use an original IP instead of buying that one?

Devil May Cry didnt have a monopoly on Hack & Slash games, there are plenty of those going around (Bayonetta) and even Ninja Theory made lots of games with that gameplay style, so its not like this was an unique IP with an unique....anything really.

So what was the need to buy this IP even when they did nothing with it? you cant tell me that its because of the "demons invading Earth every once in a while" thing because that shit is so overdone that its almost free. The "demons/aliens are among us and brainwashing us" was done by They Live and Branded and not even from the Devil May Cry franchise. How about the characters? they act nothing like they were before, and this isnt like a reboot or reimagining of....say, Batman, where his core belief is intact but the actions done surrounding those is different depending on the writer. The characters here have almost no reasemble to the originals.

So, again, why not make a new IP and problem solved?

I've always been confused when people say this. How can he be human if they took away his human side and made him part angel? What does he embrace in this game? It can't be his human side because it doesn't exist.

What they and I mean is that he's more relatable and has human flaws; he cares about Kat(albeit in a cheesy, crowbarred-in romance manner but still) and he calls out Vergil on his bullshit.

Whereas the previous Dante was more of a badass, he was more detached and a bit boring as a character: he was 1-dimensional.

The "improvement" isn't disquieting, but its an improvement nonetheless.

Yes, Devil May Cry fans are truly the worst. How dare they voice criticism over a piece of entertainment. If you don't buy the reboot you're just entitled, whiny, basement dwelling, virgin nerds who are the sole reason for killing the gaming industry and also needlessly attacking the developers' artistic integrity. Get over the hair change already you fucking weaboos!




In all seriousness, DmC fiasco pretty much hit all the nails on what is wrong with the current gaming journalism and industry. While I must admit that openly attacking and insulting the old fans and possible paying customers is a rather novel business strategy on Capcom's part, what gets me the most is that many reviewers also decided to jump into the shitflinging wagon while singing praises for the game's "improved mechanics" and "upgraded storytelling". I don't know what would be more disturbing; that the reviewers are in the publishers' pockets or that they genuinely consider "FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUUUUUUU!", "I've got a bigger dick" and "Wet chunks" valid writing, not to even mention purposefully glancing over the dumbed down gameplay.

Reminds a bit how all the criticism of ME3 was silenced with the argument "You are just mad about the ending!"
