...But that'd still be supporting Capcom.

Buying something else by Capcom wont really show em, youve got to either not buy anything or buy something of their competitors.

So your advice is that we send Capcom the message that rather than pay for new products we'd rather hand them over money for the same stuff they released years ago?
I can see no way that this could backfire...*cough cough*Street Fighter Eleventy Billion Hundred Super Turbo Fun-Time*cough splutter dead*
I don't want Devil May Cry to go away, which is the likely result of a simple boycott. If this doesn't sell and there are no other factors at play, then they'll likely just cut the series and that'll be all she wrote for Dante, period. However, by supporting the HD release, it would show that there is a demand for Devil May Cry, just not for Ninja Theory's Devil may Cry.
Also to those say I'm whining or trying to convince people or whatever, I'm really not. I'm just trying to provide a direction for those who have already committed to this specific stance on the title. If you, or anyone else, wants DmC, more power to you.
Also, it is true that DMC is all about gameplay. Only, when I look at DmC, I see Heavenly Sword with DMC combos mixed in. The flow isn't there. There's a noticeable lag between the attacks that would get you killed in past games. The focus on air attacks noticeably makes combat less fluid, as well. Not to mention the emphasis on platforming, though that's more of a unique gripe on my part.
I will rent this when it comes out, and if it denies my expectations, I'll even buy it, but as I see it now, I can't get behind it. Instead of sitting around and complaining on the internet, I'm proposing a possible solution for those who came to the same conclusion as myself.
