Thank you. I understand there also are "blind haters" who attack the game simply to satisfy their ego, and also rational people disliking the new direction. None of us knows who are more numerous, though there already are people like who are claiming that reasonable reactions were a minority...

OP, I think you'd like to take a look at this video. Talks about the Kane & Lynch and other recent "review controversies".

Which ones? You say that people shouldn't decide whether to buy a game before they have personal experience or "professional buying guide" with it, and I say that it's bullshit; you can and SHOULD influence your buying decisions and not just follow the 9/10 GOTY reviews with no actual content...

And I'm pretty sick of you attacking me instead of my arguments. You yourself are basing "my opinions" on the fact that I don't agree with you. "Woe thee, he doesn't agree with me so he must be a hater who just doesn't give the game a chance. He calls the previous games superior so he must...

So you're essentially saying that if person hasn't already paid full price for a piece of entertainment he's not allowed to look for other people's opinions or you know- research the product he's about to buy himself? You DO know that's pretty damn stupid and essentially means people should only...

You DO know they're essentially saying that they themselves get to decide which reviews are genuine and which are not. That reviewer disliked the game? He just didn't play it properly or it was too deep for him!

Doesn't make anything I said less true though. You make a good game and gain fans who love your games, then make an inferior game while insulting them and everything they liked in the process and you're bound to lose customers. This is true for every type of entertainment and the developers need...

But I did have an opinion and am not denying it. Formed from seeing the gameplay videos, hearing what people who played it at game cons had to say about it, obviously seeing the hilariously bad writing and then the horrible PR. It would be crazy to think there was anyone who didn't form SOME...

How much hate there exactly was when the game got announced? As far as I've personally seen, read and experienced the game's expectations started going down the drain as more stuff was revealed, poor PR started happening and the demo got released. Even one of my friends was hyped for DmC due to...

I'm going to answer on his behalf. Even before announcing DmC Ninja Theory has been considered a rather mediocre combat developer with horrible writers. All their previous games were written by outside people who commented about their jobs including "having to completely rewrite the game's story...

That still doesn't prove anything about the quantity of blind haters vs. rational fans expressing distaste at the quality of the product. I could as well say that me and my numerous friends decided to not buy DmC due to various good reasons and claim that my "proof" is automatically superior to...

I don't even know why I'm replying to this anymore, but go ahead and link me this indisputable proof that shows that all the lost sales can be attributed to Dante's new hair color.

Show me where is said that, please. I am aware that many people didn't like the new character model, and the hate was only fueled more by Ninja Theory's "deal with it" statements. What I'm saying that once people got to playing the demo, they were pretty fucking sure what kind of game it was...

And reason for that is what? Do other reboots get as much hate? Why didn't Human Revolution get hated and boycotted to death? Is it because majority of DMC and ME fans are more childish than Deus Ex fans? Note that many people played the demo and judged that it's essentially slightly improved...

Great job missing the point of my thread. As I said, I'm not here to talk about the individual qualities of the games and there are other threads that already discuss their issues, but I did borrow and play through DmC. What I am talking about is how shitty companies handle their own fans and...
