I sort of see his point though. Spider Man 3 was so bad that it retroactively made Spider Man 1 and 2 bad for me. Now I can't unsee the ridiculous amount of cheese in the Raimi movies. I also liked the first few Donner Superman movies but after watching Superman Returns I couldn't stand the Donner universe either (I can't wait for the Superman reboot by the way).
midichlorians??
Well that's different, you have had your eyes opened to something you didn't see before.
That isn't in the first films, it doesn't matter.
Absolutely, and disappointment is a perfectly valid reaction to have to a follow-up not being what you would have wanted. But I'm not sure anger is. And the idea that anyone doing anything creative has a responsibility to do things a certain way makes me very uneasy.
I know it was always there but I never really paid too much attention to it, I always chalked it up to comic book super hero movies. I guess it didn't help that Batman Begins came and after that I never saw any other comic book super hero movie the same again.
I would still enjoy them the same for what they are, why not? I'm not saying I'd be happy about the direction but it couldn't ruin the earlier films.
Just ignore that stuff if you don't like it. You don't have to accept it.
Not because it's negative, I said disappointment is valid. Anger seems strange to me because it implies some sort of blame. A creator can do whatever the hell they like with their creation. Should they be judged in a vacuum? Absolutely not, context does indeed matter, and feel free to judge DmC or whatever however you want. But you can't be angry just because you don't like it.
Good lord, lol. Come on, now.
Nothing has been taken away from you. I'm not saying you aren't angry. You clearly are. I'm saying being angry is totally unreasonable.
Did you post this with a straight face?
Will you be happy once again if old Dante and old Vergil pops back up? Will you be able to forgive them for they have sinned?
I think the pervading message should be that this really shouldn't be all that important to you. I know it's something that you've become invested in, but think of it this way. I know as a fan you feel that you've invested a lot of time and money into the series. However, Capcom has invested more money and even more time into the series, and you have to ask yourself, does your smaller investment mean that Capcom can't do what they want with their creation?
No...I said it's unreasonable. Anger is qualitatively different from disappointment. It's reasonable to be disappointed if you don't win the lottery, it is unreasonable to be angry if you don't win the lottery. You have to be wronged for anger to be reasonable.
Out of curiosity, what would you believe this "DMC5 that fans dream of" to be? In respect to what it might feature specifically? I ask because I've seen plenty of varying expectations as to what people might look for in such a game.
It's clear from what I wrote that I was using "can't" in the permissive sense rather than the possible sense. And if it somehow wasn't it is now.
Yeah I honestly don't ever expect Capcom to make a DMC5 game like that. I sincerely doubt that Capcom even thinks that the level design of DMC needs changing. And even if they do go that route of devil mission hunting design, there is no guarantee they won't fuck it up and end with something worse than the formula they have now. Then the fans would crucify me for ever bringing up that idea to begin with!
I'm almost 300% sure Capcom would turn a devil hunting mission structure into a grinding shitfest.
I know I'm just some random guy on the internet that you don't know, and you're more than entitled to be angry at whatever you want.
