I'm looking forward to the new Devil May Cry game. In case your so biased that you thought you read that wrong, I'll say it again. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW DEVIL MAY CRY GAME. Allow me to present you with what has me so pissed.

I mean seriously, are we still this pissy over the new game? I know gamers hate change, but good god, I've only seen this kind of knee-jerk hissyfit from the Sonic fandom. Why are we even taking it this hard anyway? It's not like the original games are going to disappear or anything. Besides, we can only gain from this new game. Fun as they were, the old games were a mess of inconsistencies and plot holes barely connected by what can be described as canon in only the loosest definition of the word. This new game gives the possibility of a fresh start and "GASP!" maybe even an actual storyline.
Then there's Dante. And no, I'm not calling him "New" Dante and I?m sure as hell not calling him "angsty" or "emo". It's Dante, just different then the one we've had up 'till now. Just look at the guy. The only thing remotely "emo" about him is his hair, and the hair does not make the emo, as we clearly have forgotten, and atleast it's better then that wannabe Beatles shag he was sporting originally. He's pissed off, plain and simple. And why shouldn't he be? He's got an entire city of demons after him, and at one point, imprisoned and tortured. Plus, he's still in his teens. Who wasn't pissed for relatively no reason at that age?
And of course, there's the whole "half devil, half angel" thing. It's a tad cliché', I'll give you that, but it also presents a whole host of possibilities for both gameplay and story. Hell, we already know there'll be two different sets of attacks to use, and you can even alternate between them in midfight. And you can't deny he's still pretty badass. Look at the first trailer. He puts a cigarette out on a demon's face, then proceeds to smash said demon's head into the pavement. He rushes headlong into a group of demons and guns them down. And then there's the leaping, slicing, impaling, and using a car as a projectile.
This, of course, is ignoring the fact that we still barely know anything about him as a character. But it's not like any of you care about that, not when your so busy bitching about his hair not being entirely white or that his coat isn't completely red or that his skin is too pale. What is this, Queer Eye for the Demonhunter? And what about his brother, Vergil? I would've loved to have seen more of him, and now we have a chance to get him back.
My point is, all of this complaining is baseless. It isn't even legitimate complaints, just whining about how different everything is. All I ask is that you give it a chance, let the game actually come out first, and tear it apart for it's actual flaws. If your willing to do that, good for you, you know what being a fan actually means. If not, that's fine, too. Ignore it, play the original games, whatever. Just quit with the bitching, already.
EDIT: I wrote this while seriously pissed off, and looking back at it I can see where I contradict myself, and even make myself out to be a bit of a hypocrite. I'd like to apologize for that, but I'd still like to see people be more reasonable with their complaints and atleast give it a chance. Title also changed out of embarrassment.
