It's so long on the line, though. : (
Patrick, you're now being typecast as the bad guy.
edit: updated it, Patrick

I'm pretty sure Brad's played a lot of games over the years. He probably knows when he's enjoying one by this point in his life.

Dahbomb is the only review you really need as a fan of the series. I didn't expect any journalist to pinpoint the things that a fan of the series really cares about so none of them bother me that much

A good game is a good game regardless of whether you have played the "best" one in the series or not. Your argument makes no sense and is willfully ignorant having seen it in a few threads now.
edit: Updated for you, Patrick.
Hahaha! I hope Brad sees that. Great gif.
Except for the part that what makes a good Devil May Cry game to you does not matter because this is a reboot.
You'd have a point if it was a good Devil May Cry game, but it's not.

Does his opinion on what makes a good game matter?
What I don't get from the complainers is what their desired outcome is. Ok, so let's say Brad is hereby unqualified to review DmC. What, then? What does he do? Does he not review the game and defy his boss? Does he rescind his review after it was published and publicly apologize? What the hell are you meaning to accomplish other than ignorantly lashing out in hopes that someone will appease you?

Don't read the review, there i just solved your problem. Your opinion is the only one that matters when it comes to making a game purchase. Buy the game and review it and I will tell you if I can trust a review from a DMC fanboy.

I'm sick of the DmC whiners. No one cares, okay? Jesus Christ could give the game 500 out of 10 and you people would still turn your noses up. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Have you played or beaten it yet? Just curious.

It's just venting and Brd happens to be an outlet, they are witnessing the probable death of OG DMC and are going nuts.
Either approach towards looking at the game is valid. Brad is approaching it as a relative newcomer which is likely the perspective that some segment of the audience will be coming at it as well (at least if Capcom gets their way). If you are a series veteran you should probably look elsewhere for reviews.
I have no idea if any professional reviewer is into the franchise enough to provide that perspective.

Suddenly, I'm really rooting for DmC to sell like gangbusters.
I'm perfectly fine with just disregarding this and all his future reviews. I don't care what he does for his job, man's gotta pay the bills somehow I suppose.
Then you probably were never a fan of the series.

SunshiLegend worthy.
If GB get Shane I would never listen to another bombcast again. I can't stand the cunt.
This drama surrounding the DmC reboot reminds me of all the horse shit about Max Payne 3 last year. Nice to see the immortal cycle of GB threads in full swing though. :/
edit: Updated for you, Patrick.
you're making a name for yourself. hehe
Doesn't matter. If they choose to keep the name it's going to get compared to the other games in a series and rightly so.
He makes whiny internet voices on TNT whenever someone disagrees with him.

I am a huge fan of the series. I haven't played this one yet, but it looks pretty good to me and the demo was alright outside of the busted scoring system
If you're a fan of the series, can't like this new one. Dem's da rules, yo! That makes perfect sense, yes.

I look at DmC and I just see it as another take on the series. Its not like Capcom isnt known for doing this, like how many different versions of Mega Man have they done? Eight?
I guarantee you the vast, vast, VAST majority of "fans of the original series" aren't the hardcore SSS rank score attack freaks that have dominated the discussion pre-DmC's release. They aren't allowed to speak for "fans of the series." These games have sold over 10 million units.

Pretty score scoring is still busted unless I have missed something.
Megaman is dead homie, not the best comparison.

lol @ the gif
I think there's a sizable female fanbase who just love OG Dante. Who knows if it'll carry on to DmC.
It reminds me of the Fallout fans going nuts over Fallout 3. Until the day it was released and they were silenced by the huge number loving it. The OT went from "Fuck this game!", "Yeah! Let it bomb!" to "OMFG SO GOOD", "goty!" almost instantly.

Alot of fans don't like the aesthetics or the tone. Combat matters to some while the look matters to others.
Check the Dante tag in tumblr sometime. It's carried over and then some.
Because they hate Patrick.

You are right. I thought I had read that it was fixed here.

Maybe if the new Donte had big milky thighs like the old one we wouldnt have this outcry.
preconceived notion that DmC should not exist and so any praise it gets is wrong.

There's a faq in the OT.

Im just saying, when Capcom created these different versions, they were still pretty good games that a lot of fans eventually accepted. Classic fans moved on to X, some moved on to Legends, then there was Battle Network which was an entirely different genre, etc.
Devil May Cry fans should at least be happy that Capcom hasnt given up on the series like it has on Mega Man or Breath of Fire or Strider, etc.
Wait, you linked a positive review.
Wait...so the one guy on GAF everyone says is the definitive, hardcore review they've all been waiting for gave the game an 8/10, and mostly deducted points because of the story and not the fighting, yet still complain about Brad's review.
I'm at a loss for words.
Because a non-Japanese dev made a new game, and redesigned the main char. Also because the internet.
