Entitled DmC Fans Want President Obama To Pull Game From Shelves

GR - "Irate fans want Ninja Theory's DmC banned."

[NovusTerminus]

DMC and DmC are two different games.

"entitled DmC fans" would mean the ones who support the new game.

Second, this thing has 8 signatures last I checked, a few people do not speak for the larger group who have legitimate reasons for concern and dislike of this game.

Please, don't lump us all up with these people.

[LOGICWINS]

I don't get it. Why don't they just not buy it? Why punish the people who ARE interested in the game?

[iamnsuperman]

I agree but it is like 12 people who are likely to buy it anyway. Luckily enough this will never get any serious traction because that will be a very very sad day for everyone.

[SilentNegotiator]

It's called trolling people. It's not new.

ANYONE can post a petition on the WH site. The WH site has already been trolled with demands for a Death Star and such....HOW is this news?

[Blackdeath_663]

i am a hardcore devil may cry fan and still play devil may cry 3 on my ps2 to this day. i have campaigned long and hard against the reboot but this is just plain silly. i'm not sure what they are trying to achieve by pulling the game from the shelves. the reboot turned out to be quite successful and the game has had good reception from people not attached to the franchise. don't get me wrong i'm still pretty angry about the reboot specially when ninja theory essentially pulls a big middle finger to all devil may cry fans by adding a scene in the game where they make fun of the white hair that the original dante had. (i haven't played the game i watched a review) this petition only brings further disgrace to the already disgraced devil may cry fans and makes me look like a dick considering all that has been said about the reboot. anyways, i will continue to play DMC3 and pretend none of this ever happened the whole situation has become a farce

[Killzoner99]

"I don't get it. Why don't they just not buy it? Why punish the people who ARE interested in the game?"
Because this is NOT a DMC game , thats why. Us true fans do NOT want this game to succeed because it essentially kills the Dante we love and grew up with. This is not Dante and there was NO reason to axe off the character millions love. It would be like Sony turning Solid Snake into a cub scout.

[Blacktric]

>there are people who are taking s**t like this seriously and actually responding to it or wondering why people would act this way...

Just snap out of it. It's just a bunch of idiots (who may belong to the either side of the conflict regarding DmC) trying to troll people. Nothing more, nothing less.

And please don't put everyone who hate the game into the same pot. Especially those psychopaths who sent death threats to the developers and other types of unnecessary people like the ones who created this petition.

[pixelsword]

With all of the problems happening in the country and in the world, these idiots want to pull stuff like this on Obama, and wonder why nothing gets done in D.C.

[jerethdagryphon]

the death star petition was planned from years ago and isnt a troll its a genuine desire to see a superpower build something awesome.

[calis]

"Because this is NOT a DMC game , thats why. Us true fans do NOT want this game to succeed because it essentially kills the Dante we love and grew up with."

You do not decide what is, and what isn't a "true" DMC game. Capcom own the rights, the name, the character and can do whatever the hell they want with it.

It does not kill anything. Dante still exists in DMC 1- 4. Capcom have decided to move on, in a different direction.

I swear to God, some gamers are some of the bitchiest, entitled, self absorbed brats in the world.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Why is SilentNegotiator getting disagrees? It is just a troll.

Also there's that word again, entitled. I don't think it means what these people think it means.

[Parasyte]

Because that would take common sense, and common sense is sorely lacking in our society.

[MikeMyers]

"I don't get it. Why don't they just not buy it? Why punish the people who ARE interested in the game? "

That would make too much sense, that's why. People feel entitled and one thing everyone needs to take into context is those who frequent forums and chatrooms are some of the more diehard fanatics. Some feel this is the only way of being heard and what ends up happening is a small and very vocal group ends up drawing the most attention.

Like as if Obama doesn't have better things to do than listen to a bunch of kids whining about something they have the ability of their own free will to avoid. This would be a lot different if it were a Kickstart project and people funded it thinking the game would be a certain way only to have the rug pulled out and be something entirely different. Nobody here funded this game, they can do with it as they wish. As a consumer it is up to you to educate yourself on making your own choices once the product is out.

Think about it, you have people around the world trying to survive and make do and here we are arguing about a videogame thinking we are entitled to how it should be.

[sonic989]

thats obviously not the right thing to do .
at the same time i hate this game and i hate NT for doing those changes .
so on my part i wont buy the game and if someone asks me to purchase it or not i would recommend not to purchase it , in the end thats my opinion according to the demo i played and the fact that i hate the new so called dante
finally respect to anybody liked the game ( enjoy your game )

[SilentNegotiator]

" With all of the problems happening in the country and in the world, these idiots want to pull stuff like this on Obama, and wonder why nothing gets done in D.C. "

Yeah....it's the petitions that Obama probably never personally reads. THAT's why nothing gets done in DC.

/s

@Parasyte
You're right....a lot of people don't even have the common sense to realize that they're being trolled.

@ZombieNinjaPanda
I'm getting disagrees because whiners of whiners want to whine and throw the word "entitlement" around (it's the word fanboys like use to defend their precious brands/games that some people take issue with).

@jerethdagryphon
Even if it weren't the blatant trolling that it is, 99% of signers didn't take it as anything serious.

[Mounce]

It's as the title of this article says.

'ENTITLED' DmC Fans....

They're SELF-ENTITLED....Aka, they want to believe their 'say' in things or opinion is somehow Special, they are a Royal-We stereotype who speak loudly under the assumption that they're riding a train full of people supporting them.....

And yet, here we are......not even 1% of the gaming industry will support these fools...

[S-J-D]

@ calis
"I swear to God, some gamers are some of the bitchiest, entitled, self absorbed brats in the world."
i signed in to this site just to agree w ur comment.
some gamers act like there is nothing else left in the world to worry about but games..... sad.
PS: i do game 2-5 hours each day, after finishing work and house responsibilities.

[Tzuno]

Not buying it is the most severe thing for developers. That is the way people can make them listen. but hey 2 people are different imagine millions :)

[Skizelli]

Can't say I'm a "true" DMC fan, but I've heard a lot of good things about the new DmC. As a Mortal Kombat fan, I've seen my beloved characters go through iteration after iteration, but the franchise is essentially better for it, and still relevant 20 years later.

[pixelsword]

"Yeah....it's the petitions that Obama probably never personally reads. THAT's why nothing gets done in DC. "

And while people are sifting through garbage, those same people could be getting things done in D.C., but instead, people are too stupid to realize what resources are and how they are drained in foolish endeavors.

Supporting such actions also why the mainstream really respects gamers and finds it hard to blame school shootings on the average gamers' ability to distinguish the gaming world from reality.

/s

[cannon8800]

The people who are doing this are either egotistical narcissists, or just plain ignorant to other people who want to play the game.

[StraightPath]

I played all DMC games, and i have just finished DmC and all i know ninja theory just whooped the haters asses hard.

Overall this is a genuine enjoyable hack & slash game. It did feel like Devil May Cry but with a fresh new look. Atleast it showed how he got his white hair at the end...

@below

lets be honest only two good games were DMC1 & 3.

2 was the biggest failure and dissapointment ever. while 4 was all over the place only saving grace was how funny dante was in that game.

am sure if they continued with the new dante he would go back to his flamboyent comedian version of dante. as the first game just showed his origins off all again.

even if it doesnt sell well you should try it it is a great game and dont just ride the bandwagon. Try the game yourself before hating it.

my opinion best hack & slash this generation are in no order..

God Of War 3
Bayonetta
DmC Devil May Cry

DmC was a great reboot and if you played the game it seems like they will be continuing this new style...

[AsimLeonheart]

Nope, NT got their own ass whooped by the fans. It just sold one third of what DMC4 sold in its debut week despite getting two more days of sales and despite being "number 1" on UK sales charts. The game is heading towards a sales bomb so NT, CRAPCOM, DmC fans got their own asses whooped by the original fans. LOL!

[TheOneEyedHound]

Spoil much?

[die_fiend]

I'm guessing the haters below like leonheart haven't played it. U know that sales is not equal to quality. The games shits all over DMC4 but you're too angry at...ummmm ... them changing dante's look? U all know he's not a real person right? He's made up! If that sort of stuff makes u fume, u should probably end yourself.

Or actually play it? It's how a reboot should be done

[AsimLeonheart]

@die_fiend

I have played it so guys like you cannot invalidate my opinion. I completed the game on Nephilim in just 2 sessions on my first try. I not some noob casual to get impressed by such a shallow and crappy game. The gameplay is dumbed down, enemy AI is stupid, combos do not require skill, platforming is stupid, bosses are even easier than normal enemies, glitches are all over the place, story is boring, ending is 10 second crap and finally all the ugly characters suck. The only enemy that was fun and somewhat challenging was Dreamwalker. The game is just a mediocre hack and slash game and a terrible DMC game.

[Blackdeath_663]

how dare you call devil may cry fans haters when they are the people who care most about the series? if they didn't care so much they wouldn't have been so vocal about the reboot.

[darren_poolies]

So it isn't just me who is having an absolute blast with the game? It's one of my farourite hack & slash games of this gen. At first I was pissed that they were rebooting it but admittedly DMC4 was meh and something needed to be changed. This is how reboots should be done.

[vork77]

i agree i hate DmC but i dont want it pulled off that away dont buy the game it will loose sales and soon will get taken down

[wishingW3L]

I don't want it to be pulled off either because then I will not be able to enjoy Capcom's reaction when the game actually flops. I mean, the point of this reboot was for the sake of better sales after all.

But the game's like Top 50 on Amazon (US) while the DMC HD Collection is Top 8 on PS3. On top of it it seems the game is selling really poor in the UK compared to DMC4 so everything's going according to plan.

To troll you both I have just ordered this game. The demo was good.

[sobekflakmonkey]

I'm buying the game right now, just to prove you faggots wrong.

[SuperLupe]

And all this because of the hair ... :) I'm kidding. Nah Im serious.

[zerocrossing]

I don't believe this crap... Either it's some really petty minded individuals or it's people trolling the original fans to make them look worse...either way it's pathetic.

Buy it or don't buy it, I really don't care anymore just shut up about DmC already.

[showtimefolks]

get over it seriously most of us are enjoying DMC, its a very good game buy/rent it, play it and enjoy it

don't hate it

[LordHiggens]

Its DmC...not DMC

[Gaming_Guru]

You people have to understand that it's a reboot, that means everything will change. What I find odd about the gaming community people hate Call of Duty because they say it's the same game over and over yet when a game is actually different they hate it.

For the people who are not stuck in the past will buy the game for what it is, a reboot. No it isn't the same expression, but it's still the same character. It's like the people who hate Django even before it was released to actually find out it's a good movie that did nothing what people thought it was going to do.

[N4Flamers]

I think people are angry because the new Dante isn't better than the old. Its a change for the worse and one that was unnecessary. The characters and dialogue are not any better and I mean they could have easily improved on the dialogue.

It's that emo teenage angst that makes the new Dante unlikeable to fans of the original. They also changed a lot of subtle things that made people identify with him. The new Dante isn't even human. I don't hate the new game as a whole but I can see why people do. Combat system is sub par too and that was what people really loved about DMC

[N4GDgAPc]

As I can understand fans not liking the new look but NT has changed the new Dante enough that he doesn't look close to emo no more. Looking back when it was first revealed that character was really bad. Changed enough for me that I like the new look.

When he puts that white wig on that looked closer to the older dante than the original dante from DmC3 which had some how a big nose which old dante never had.

[Gaming_Guru]

Devil May Cry is a hack and slash, and the new game is in the same genre virtually the same combat. Emo that stands for emotional is defined by anyone who's feelings take over them, so Cortana from Halo 4 was technically emo. So when you say looking emo, I'm guessing you're talking about the gothic direction, he dresses the same as he did before. The funny thing is that he looks dead in this version the only major visual difference.

Lastly the developers decide whether the character needs to change or not, not some random person on N4G.com. In the end people just don't like him versus actually having poor design choices. What's next people are going to hate Cole from Infamous if he grows hair?

[buffalo1066]

is a new haircut really that good of a reason to hate a game?

[Andronix]

I haven't played the new DmC game so I don't know if it in anyway explains the link to the original series. However people who buy comics will have seen that there are multiple versions of their favourite hero in the same continuity e.g. Batman from Earth 1, Earth 2 etc and then all the other different interpretations of Batman e.g. as Sherlock Holmes type detective in London.

I totally understand if there are gamers who see their number 1 character reinterpreted, but why not just view it as being a different reality? If you don't like Christian Bale as Batman it doesn't change the Michael Keaton films does it?

As for the original Dante, I'm sure he will return...

[ThatEnglishDude]

To "iamnsuperman"

I actually thought the game was selling rather well. This whole DMC hate is becoming out of hand. This just reminds me of the whole Mass Effect 3 ending incident. Sick of people feeling entitled and crying like a bunch of fucking babies when 'their' series spits out a game they don't like. Guess what? this shit has happened for years, with much bigger differences (see Fallout 2 to Fallout 3 for example) Get used to it. Step up or step out. Stop giving the gaming population a bad name by crying to President Obama. Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound? I'm sure the guy has a lot more to deal with right now... foreign policies, gun control, economy crisis among many other things. I am never ceased to be amazed by the sheer immaturity and ignorance of the modern day consumer.

[Ritsujun]

all the games developed by NinjaTheory should be banned for real gamers' sake

[ALLWRONG]

"entitled DmC fans" would mean the ones who support the new game"

Reminds me of "freedom fries" :P

[iXenon]

This has gone too far.

[Eamon]

This is obviously a trolling attempt. I don't think it was intended to be taken seriously.

[WitWolfy]

I seriously want NT to make a public statement going... To all the haters... GO F YOURSELF!

*drop the mic and walk off stage*

[Ritsujun]

i can see why you like those lame sissy dialogues in DmC

[360ICE]

Least serious petition ever. Lots of spelling mistakes is one thing, but it really is kind of offensive in its stupidity. No, kids, DmC does not intrude upon your rights. It intrudes on your inflated self-esteem, because when you play it you realise that it's awesome and you're not. That is all.

You can't hate on the first amendment, grammar and logical consistency if you're not awesome. Geneva convention. Look it up.

[VileAndVicious]

jail?

[360ICE]

Probably

[wuerflein]

I signed that petition to get Nickelback banned from performing at halftime of some football game, and even I think this is an entitled waste of everyone's time.

[FunkMacNasty]

attempting to disrupt Nickelback from performing anywhere is alright in my book.

[Breadcrab]

That's ok, petition creators. I didn't want the rest of society to take the gaming community seriously anyways.

[-Gespenst-]

For me it's not that I think I deserve or am entitled to a proper DmC game with a non-shit Dante. Nah, my contention is with the fact that Ninja Theory and Capcom are contributing to this culture of taking ironic, camp stuff that's not meant to be taken absolutely seriously, and MAKING it serious, gravely serious.

Also contributing to the whole culture of Twilight heartthrob protagonists. Shit is poisonous.

I actually think it's an impressive game otherwise, but the above are pretty serious problems.

[kma2k]

Im sure i will get plenty of disagrees but i actually enjoyed the new one! I only ever played DMC 1 & 2 for ps2 back in the day & never finished all the rest maybe thats why i dont get all the hate but i actaully liked the new one!

[vork77]

dont buy the game thats one way to get it off the shelves is the game sells poorly there bound to take it off the shelves

[ApolloTheBoss]

Ok what the hell, man? I hate the game, too but let's not go that far.

[die_fiend]

Have u played it?

[ApolloTheBoss]

Yes and I don't like it, personally. It's my opinion. You should respect it like I respect yours.

[die_fiend]

What's so wrong with it? Or do you hate all of them? You strike me as a hater

[ApolloTheBoss]

You can call me whatever you want. And I could sit here and have a debate with you and give you several reasons why I don't like the game but this is my last bubble. The short answer is that Capcom will do anything to make a buck. Make of it what you will.

[Y_5150]

He never gave a valid point on why he doesn't like it, probably cause he could find a reason? You win the argument in my view. :)

[mynameisEvil]

@Y_5150
Are you six years old? Who cares who "won the argument"? It's an argument on the internet. *rolls eyes*

[N4GDgAPc]

He has played the game and says he doesn't like it. Do you need an detail explanation on why? At least he has played the full game to actually say he hates it instead of some that only watched trailers or played the demo.

[die_fiend]

I know Capcom are probably the greediest devs ever. But since you haven't played it I'm not sure how you've formed your opinion that you hate it

[aLucidMind]

He said he DID play it and that he didn't like it, not sure where you got that he didn't play it when he stated he did lol.

[Rockefellow]

The logic included here, let alone the borderline retarded spelling, is indicative of exactly the kind of people who would try to do this, pinpointed in the article head: entitled.

These are the same morons who think that Obama has a stash of money, cell phones, and other nonsense to hand out to people unwilling to be productive members of society. The logical next step? "Oh please our Lord Obama, remove this disgusting game from store shelves because you can."

[JohnApocalypse]

What the fuck? Its been 2 1/2 years since this game was announced and people are still not over his new look?

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Remember it was never reallg about the look it was about the 30 FPS not being 60FPS.

[die_fiend]

Didn't even notice this...I was wondering why the graphics were suddenly much better

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

@Die_Fiend

I wonder why the graphics were suddenly much better, you know maybe 4 years later the graphics should be better. Who knows, maybe that has something to do with it.

[Rubberlegs]

If you don't want a locked framerate then you might as well buy the PC version. All games running UE3 on the consoles always get locked at 30fps. Start blaming the aging hardware they have to work it on consoles and not the devs.

[aLucidMind]

My main complaint his how he acts; Dante's new personality just rubs me the wrong way. If it had been closer to the old Dante in personality or something just as good, regardless of how different New was personlity wise, then I would easily be able to get past how stupid NewDante looks.

Don't see what's so bad about somebody not liking his look; some games have characters with looks that genuinely suck.

[LordHiggens]

How many times must we say it's not about how he looks? How many? 100? 1000? 1000000000? It's not about the look bro.

[young7yang]

this game is a prequel not a sequel.

[born2live]

I can't believe how those fanboys are trying to ruin this game, especially since, by everyone else's account, the game is rather good! I'm not saying Capcom doesn't deserve that treatment with the poor choices that they have made on other games (namely in-disk locked content and online passes - you can't bite the hand that feeds you)... But a good game is a good game, and it's a shame those guys are unable to be objective enough to realize that.

[young7yang]

and not a reboot

[r21]

You're just asking for your bubbles to be taken away...

[chrispseuphoria]

It's a reboot. Have you actually played the game or are you another one of these ignorant fanboys?

[young7yang]

i have played them all

and it takes place during his child hood. say what you want

[chrispseuphoria]

During his child hood? What are you talking about!? He's a full grown man in DmC! I don't know what game you're talking about, young7yang.

[WitWolfy]

LOL a Child having sex with two stripper in the opening cinematic... Sounds about right...

[stuntman_mike]

hmm..shall I sign the petition to exhume the body of notorious paedophile Jimmy Saville and burn him at the stake along with the rest of his paedophile ring or the DmC one...?? decisions, decisions...

[TongkatAli]

I want this game to be a huge success cause I hate when something gets all ganged up. I use to be ganged up in school for being a new kid, it was a horrible feeling.

[Froakie]

People just liked you more before you got rebooted.
Edit:@Disagrees: I heard N4G was full of stiffs,I guess it was true! :3

[kingPoS]

The simple fact is that these few "Entitled" fans want everyone to suffer because the new Dante just doesn't have what it takes to satisfy them. (no homo)

For the otaku out there I'll correlate it with an anime series I know of.

Tenchi Muyo OAV = DMC 3
Tenchi Muyo Universe = DMC 2013

Some people will like the original while some other may prefer the spinoff. Of course there's always the curve ball that's otherwise known as Tenchi in Tokyo.

[wishingW3L]

that example is not very good. The Ovas and Universe are basically the same thing but with different story. A better example would be: Tenchi Muyo! GXP

GPX is completely different to the old Tenchi Muyo anime and spin-offs.

[kingPoS]

You might be right about Tenchi GXP, but I can't really comment as I never really seen the show before.

Apples & Oranges

[doomtrain]

gotta be one of the dumbest things i have ever read on the internet .
thank god it won't be taken any more seriously than most of the haters who have signed it . people need to get out of their basements more often.........

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Definitely.

[Xklaw]

The stupity of some people never cease to amaze me.

[clovis212]

Sometimes I'm very ashamed to call myself a gamer. No wonder society laughs at us.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

I agree 100%. Thank God, my favourite hobby is soccer other wise I would be doomed. Whenever I mention I love games I feel people will laugh at me or judge me solely on the games i enjoy playing. But I feel ya.

[TongkatAli]

My number one hobbby is working out. I had to get buff cause of all the bullies. NY public school near the projects, lol.

[JamieL]

@ TongkatAli
So do your huge muscles scare the bullies off? Working out is a dumb solution to bullies IMHO, I would learn how to fight. I guess I've seen too many big beefy body builders get stomped by better fighters to not respond to this comment. “I lift weights because I live by the project's”. LOL, bet you wouldn't say that
"in the projects". I cut down trees for a living for a long time, and I used to love getting guys like you, out there to "LIFT" some log son. They would tell you how pumped and ready they were to "DO THIS AHHHH!!!!". Then around lunch you look around for them with no luck, because the big, bad, bodybuilding machine is nowhere to be found. They'd walk off the job and never even come back for the pay they earned the first few hour they were there. I used to LOVE breaking them. Not that I could go hang with them in the gym, but I also didn't walk into their gym talking shit.

[coolasj]

This is actually the most embarrassing article since the War Z debacle. To gamers at least.

[aviator189]

I can understand disliking a game and not buying one for reasons, but this is just a bit ridiculous.

[Afreelunch]

I'm going to buy this game JUST BECAUSE of all these whiners who think they have some kind of ownership right to DMC. I probably wouldn't have purchased it otherwise, but all this "controversy" led me to download the demo, and I liked it!

[LordHiggens]

I'll wait until it reaches about 17.99....used...then pick it up....maybe.

Somewhere in the world, that one guy out of the millions who wrote that petition is laughing his ass off for having a news written about this. Just like the guy who wrote the petition about wanting a death star build and got an actual response. I think there is something more wrong with you if you take certain stuff like this serious. But whatever, enjoy the hits.

Hey, look all the way down there below us! You can JUST make out the shark we jumped.

[Deku-Johnny]

All I got from that was the kid doesn't know his rights. I'm sure there are some people who will enjoy this game at the end of the day it's just that a game. The fact of the matter is the game being so different is creative, it proves there is still originality in an industry stagnated by sequels and rip offs. This kid is pretty much saying he'd prefer an exact copy of the other games churned out time and again instead of something new.

[jmc8888]

Once again everyone proves that few actually understand the word 'entitled'. Misused over and over again in 2012. Probably the most misunderstood and misused word of 2012.

People are just being morons, and may be STUPID enough to think idiot Obama can do something about it.

He's had 4 years to pass Glass-Steagall but he's too busy getting raped by Wall Street and loving it to pass it.

Somehow I doubt he'll care a video game wasn't made the way some people wanted it to be made.

It's not a feeling of being 'entitled', it's that these people have gone through a broken down education system and somehow think the president deals with such things.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Its never gonna be good enough for all is it? Someone will always b*tch. Moving on.

[ado908]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!! ahhhhhhhh........ AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[Seraphim]

this is exactly what is wrong with this frekn Country, our people, our society. to think that Government should have the ability and right to do away with trivial matters we do not like. Self Serving laws that overstep the bounds of Government. We've already gone too far yet we want to continue pushing, making everything illegal, making it a law.... Ridiculous. People are so pathetic it sickens me. We have a freedom in this country. Don't like something then don't support it. Don't like something then move away from it. Don't like something, tough crap, grow a set and live with it.

[ElectricKaibutsu]

Maybe the people that disagree with you will make a petition on the Whitehouse website.

[ElectricKaibutsu]

Maybe the people that disagree with me will make a petition on the Whitehouse website.

[pr0t0typeknuckles]

okay now im sure alot of people on here know i hate this game, but i think i speak for the entire gaming community when i say thats just, sad, overreacting, and just downright stupid.

[ElectricKaibutsu]

"The only complaints thus far have been the framerate, which critics and players have said doesn't really affect the gameplay, and Dante's hair. Given that so called fans were complaining about Dante's hair long before release, I'm inclined to believe it has more to do with that than any technical issues..."

lol

[gamefanatic007]

OMG what is with these jaded, spoiled @$$ gamers today!? Hell, just dont buy the freaking game, and leave those who LIKE THE GAME AND ARE ENJOYING IT FOR WHAT IT IS alone!!! I mean no game will EVER be perfect..and no gamer will ever have a game EXACTLY the way THEY want it! Hell, if you want a game exactly the way you want it, go to school get a degree in game design technology, start your OWN game development company, and make the game your damn self.

[bluetoto]

I think what amazes me more than anything is that these "real" fans would rather have the DMC series die than give a new gen a chance to enjoy a good game.

The old style is NOT, I repeat NOT coming back so why not just accept that the series is dead to you, move on and find a new fav.

To those that are so foolish as to respond with "it's not a dmc game so they should change the title" I'll say it again for you non-business folks, you don't spend millions of dollars and tens of years building up a brand( and make no mistake about it DMC is a brand, just like GTA) only to change the name when you want to try something new.

On another note, why would they call it something else to please someone whose not interested in buying it?

How many different batmans has there been? Should each new one change their iconic identity? Of course not. Does ford change the name of the mustang after every model change? No, and it's silly to want Capcom to do the same.

It's hard trying to keep something fresh after 4 or 5 games/movies as most of everything has already been covered and a new direction is NEEDED.

How hard is it for these people to realize that if the old design was still PROFITABLE it would have still been used for the reboot. There is a reason why people don't fix what isn't broken. People complain about COD being the same thing over and over but have NO problem wanting THEIR fav franchise staying the same.

You think these companies spent millions just to piss you all off? That's why these whiners are considered entitled, because instead of just moving on and letting DEVS do as they please with THEIR vision and THEIR intellectual property they feel they have a right to DEMAND something.

The only right you have is whether to support them or not, not dictate what YOU think is best for their franchise, not unless you're shelling out the millions for developing cost.

Your $60 does NOT give you the right to dictate ANYTHING.

[listenkids]

Not more shit

[Valenka]

The vast amount of grammar errors and stupidity in that 'petition' is what I find insulting.

[ame22]

This has gone way out of hand it's not even funny. The best option for these people is to resign from gaming all together because people who take gaming this seriously are straight up lunatics.

[IaussieGamer]

ROFL you have got to be kidding me lol

[wishingW3L]

nope. No one is kidding here, Obama should ban DmC before the game does irreparable damage to our youth.

[IaussieGamer]

..

[IaussieGamer]

You must be joking otherwise you need to go see a shrink

[BlaqMagiq24]

I may not support this game but this is just out of control. Let people enjoy whatever they want. If people want to buy this this game and they enjoy it more power to them, but don't bring stupid s**t like this to the White House.

[rpd123]

For Christ's sake, the entire point of our capitalistic society is to let your dollar do the talking. Nobody's rights are being violated by you having to chose between video games. Jesus...

[Stoletarts]

Even if this petition is a complete piece of bunk, there are still a lot of posts on here which scream, "How dare you touch -my- series." For those of you doing this, please go in front of a mirror, point at yourself, and say, "Hey, there goes an entitled little twat." The series is not -your- creation and therefore doesn't belong to you, so stop saying that it does. Being a fan does not entitle anyone to any sort of ownership.

If you don't like the new DMC game, don't buy it. Protest with your wallet, but don't think for one second that everyone is going to think that way. Some of us are mature enough to say that it may be a terrible DMC reboot, but slap on any other name outside of 'Dante', and you've got yourself a good to great hack n' slash action platformer. If it makes you feel better, try using something like, "The Demon Hunting Adventures of Steven."

Also, why the hell are we talking about the President about this? Why are some of you posting random political nonsense?

[fallensniper77]

I want to see an article on a "Hardcore DMC fan" who actually PLAYS and COMPLETES the new devil may cry game, because I've owned and played all 4 other devil may cry games and I adored the new one. Plus people need to stop bitching about the 'middle finger' from ninja theory with the white hair joke because that's all it was, a joke. If you finish the game you'll understand how he ends up having white hair. I'm not trying to hate on you original fans just stop blowing it out of proportion.

[wishingW3L]

do you even know what a "cancel" is or maybe a "distorted combo"? If your response to this is "no" then there's no point in explaining anything.

It will be like trying to explain the pros and cons of Globalization to a baby and it would take a mega wall of text that most people will not even read. Meanwhile the other half will keep joking that it's because of the hair.

[Trenta27]

Majority? I don't really think so...

[Enigma_2099]

Look, stop lumping us in the same group as these idiots. Just because some of us don't care for the game, doesn't mean we support these bouts of "WTF..."

[Adolph Fitler]

GET OVER IT RETARDS. I loved the original DMC, it was one of my favourite PS2 games.....But, the reboot is also awesome & easily fits into the mould.
The original game was ridiculous & silly & anyone that takes it all that serious, is seriously mentally handicapped, not to mention severely mentally unstable.....it is a game, Ninja Theory make awesome games, they also poked fun at the once homosexual looking Dante.
I mean, as I said, I loved the original DMC so much that I rate it a classic & one of many fantastically good PS2 games, I thought Dante's campy, Elton John meets Michael Jackson & Boy George, George Michael, Prince & David Bowie, was excellent, added to the fun & was of benefit to the games story, at that time. But fact is, that was 10-15yrs ago now, we have moved on, & sticking to the exact same stories, terrible acting & art design, character designs & such, well, it just might not work these days. We expect better now, and Ninja Theory delivered an engrossing game that easily fits the DMC mold, but also adds the much needed modern elements & superior level design & artstyle.

In short, Ninja Theory have made THE BEST DMC game so far. And after DMC2 being a hunk of crap, then DMC4 also sucking quite hard with constant back tracking through snore inducing linear level designs, DmC has revitalized a quickly staling series. I mean, I was a big fan after part 1, then part 2 came along & was quite terrible, & Capcom then released a little title called Onimusha, that became my new PS2 favourite, then DMC3 came along & the series had already suffered the blow of losing it's fans to newer, better ideas in GOW, Onimusha & such.

So, instead of worrying about hair colour & other such irrelevant crap, just get over yourselves, man up & support a great game & great developer in Ninja Theory, & stop cosplaying in your Dante outfits & platinum wigs, stroking your genitalia over the way the game was.
Get lives, try the game out, instead of being sideline judges & b%ching about the short comings you read online about the game, as if we all only focused on the short comings of games & failed to buy games based on that, then we would have no games industry, as no game is perfect, or will appease everyone, in every little area.

[Enigma_2099]

You lost me at "get over it retards." That killed any credibility this long winded rant may have had.

[smashcrashbash]

Every time I think modern gamers can't get any lower or lamer you prove me wrong every time.

[TemplarDante]

I dislike this reboot, but I dont support this initive. While pushing for a ban is extreme, I must admit, I dont really give a damn what happends to this game. For betraying the fans though,
DmC and NT can go to hell.
In the words of new Donte.
"F**** YOU!!!!!!, YOU W***E!!!!"
Ban it, burn, wrangle up the copies and make a bonfire in Washington, London and every other captital city in the world.
If Capcom keeps the new Donte, the series is DEAD to me anyway. So, true fans dont give a damn about this game.

[TheGamingArt]

I honestly can't see any REAL DMC fans hating this game after playing it.... I mean.... really? It holds true to the formula and dare I say far surpasses DMC2,4, and well duh 1 (only because the game has NOT aged well). DMC 3 is a legend ..... Either way, the fans need to open their eyes and realize a few things (such as the fact that story driven action games were JUST coming to light when DMC was conceived, the originals are highly dated and needed a fresh take, and DMC 4 wasn't the best take on a sequel). This alternate was astoundly well done and held more to the core than most fans against it will understand. Any true fan loves DMC for the core, and it's by far in this sequel with a better base for a story and expansion. The bluntness, astounding combat, deep story, humor, etc... it's ALL there. It was time to revamp it. Take into consideration that if Ninja Theory didn't take this project, DMC would most likely have been left to the dying Japanese genre and possibly turned into Resident Evil 6 (cough failure cough).

[TemplarDante]

It ALREADY has turned into Resi 6!!!!
They screwed over the majority of the fanbase. They released this garbage. I share the pain the True Resi fans feel.
Whats worse, our beloved Onimusha will be next on the chopping block.
Damn you Capcom and NT, damn you to hell!
Mark my words. E3 2013. Capcom will announce a reboot of Resi and Onimusha.

[NewZealander]

why can't ppl just enjoy the game rather than bash it, some time reboots are needed to revive old games, why does no one complain that the new tomb raider game is a reboot, plus how many movies get reboots these days? and sometimes reboots are better than the original eg batman movies, so if movies do it why not games.

[TheGamingArt]

This is officially the funniest saddist crap ever. Now on that note, I'm a HUGE DMC fan and love the new games. Now, just to get the president to address the Batman reboot problems.... hmmmm....

[ghostrider32]

Another reason for society to laugh at the gaming community...........

[DOOMZ]

What the heck are these people smoking!!!!!

[YoungPlex]

Great game! At first I was skeptical but the overall game feels fresh and new, unlike most reboots that feel stale and rehashed, DmC actually achieves the sense of something new and enjoyable. I really think that people need to get over it and give it a shot if not, just don't buy it! It's that simple...

[WitWolfy]

Im ashamed to be a gamer... Seems like when they can't get they way ... Ban it... Patheic idiots, get a life!

[raiden-49]

I find it amazing that Capcom gets away with trolling their fans as I am one of them there has been certain things I have noticed mainly the fact they released an HD collection of devil may cry 1,2 and 3 catching you up with the series and then telling you to forget it all with this reboot(think back on it they must have thought that fans would buy this just try it out and their friends to see how it has "destroyed" their series and you guys are all falling for it. But that's just over the top for capcom.....right?

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

I wouldn't say they are acting like they are entitled. Rather I think it's that they're aware of how overly obsessed and stupid they are, so they combined the worst of two worlds to do this.

God, I loved the old series as much as any other hardcore fan, but the game is out and people like it. You can't change the facts here. Move on.

[Donnywho]

The only thing dumber than petitioning the President to pull a game would be writing an article about the people signing it.

[chrispseuphoria]

DmC deserves to be played. It is one of the best action games I have played in a long time with fantastic set pieces and gripping boss battles.

To whoever is neutral on DmC, get the game. Ignore the fans because they're being ignorant.

[MooseyXTC]

Why would DmC fans hate their one and only game?

[memphis2]

"We, as consumers did not want nor need this reboot and we believe it violates our rights to have a choice between the original's or the reboot. This game is violating our rights as a consumer and we believe it should be pulled off shelves from game stores due to it's insulting nature and the fact that it violates our rights."

this whole paragraph does not make any sense. what rights is he talking about. it's like saying "i volatile my rights because my rights are violated??"

all the people that does not like the reboot, don't even play it nor even buy it in the first place. this article was a waste of time!

[Braid]

This is... wow, I'm actually out of words to describe how RIDICULOUS this whole thing is.

What right are they talking about, do gamers hold the right to craft and change the games the way they want, if so, where can I find a written form of that so called "right" so that I can take a look? This self-entitlement issue in the gaming community is getting way out of control with each passing day.

I'll try to say it in its simplest form though I'll be repeating myself here: you, as a consumer of an intellectual property, have NO RIGHT on the final product in any way conceivable. It's the developer's creative vision that shapes the product, and the creators of an IP who hold THE LEGAL COPYRIGHTS to the game could do ANYTHING they want with it. However, in a free market the consumer have THE RIGHT to vote with their wallets, and if you feel like their vision of the game is not appealing, you simply won't buy the product. If the general consensus is that the product is not worthy of its price tag, the respective company will be making a loss out of this decision. The exact opposite is perfectly possible too, the product may get a positive critical reception and they may sell better than ever as well.

But, let's put a big BUT here... you simply have NO RIGHT to demand a product to be pulled from the shelves, as you'll be obstructing the freedom of people who are willing to buy the game. You have no legal, civil or even moral right that can be enjoyed in such an act of restriction.

This whole thing turned into a huge friggin' joke. I'd recommend a copy of "The Secret of Letting Go" by Guy Finley to those who signed for this petition, it really could help you sort your things out.

[linkenski]

I just don't see why fans are so against this concept of a reboot. It has the Devil May Cry name, but it feels and looks like a different game, so it shouldn't have an impact or ruin how they pictured the franchise.

The original DmC creator even said, after that last game before this, that he didn't see how the franchise would continue as it was. It had ended, so there should be nothing wrong with rebooting it.

Just don't play it if you hate it. Find something else to do.

[CrimsonDragon90]

Wow I knew some people where mad at the new reboot. But this person must be the biggest butthurt fan. Seriously who sends a letter like that to the White House seriously. This person is an idiot bus passes are going high an instead he complains to Obama about some game it doesn't like and does not want other people to buy. So what does this person want for Obama to banned DmC and force capcom to make dmc5.

[jlemdon]

To the complainers please don't support the game success,This way the message will get to Capcom and Ninja Theory.

[J86blum]

I like the OLD DMC games, and I liked the Reboot. and the white hair is explained if you play through the game. so fans need to stop complaining. plus the story is good in regards to Vergil and Dante.

[MxRBrobaFett]

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen lol

[csreynolds]

The 12 or so people who signed this need their heads seeing to. This is utterly ludicrous.

[chukamachine]

GROW UP.

Tomb raiders a reboot, is that next.

When games don't sell enough or feel stale, they get rebooted.

DMC needed it. Was stale.

[DrugAddict-]

Oh man.. So many butthurt basement dwellers.. Instead of doing something useful with your life you 12 year old kids all you do is hate on a developer that gave us an amazing game..
Who gives a shit what Dante used to look like and what he looks like now, or how the game is played differently.. It's a REBOOT.. You act like someone raped your sister grow up

[andshesays]

I agree with what your saying

EXCEPT

for the raped your sister bit....

[tigertron]

because Obama is suddenly going to stop what he's doing in sorting out the country, and decide that pulling DMC off the shelves is more important.

[csreynolds]

This. A thousand times, this.

[Newsman]

Gotta love n4g, check in for my daily shit feed. Gooble gooble

[shahrukh339]

hahhahahah

Now these stupid gamers should also file a petition that

"Call of Duty is ripping our pockets because they dont change anything except the story line and some gadgets, they are using the same old engine for more than 8 year or so and even though we hate it we buy COD games because we are 12 year old and dont know the difference between a girl and a boy"

Please obama! look into your heart and make COD illegal and all that...."

By the way.. UBI SOFT also did a reboot with the prince of persia REMEMBER i didnt like em but i wasnt crying every where lolxxx DMC hard core fans that are psycho and retard should go see a doctor i highly recommend.

[G-cis]

worst fanbase since sonic

[RazMaTaz0121]

These articles are begging hits. stupid attention seekers.

The game is good, however its not something i would happily replace with the current DMC. Dmc5 has alot of potential and capcom can do amazingly well if done right.

I know some asswipes are just going to hit dislikes and subject the whole topic about deh hair, they need to get their head out their ass. both extreme fans from both sides need to grow the eff up.

[andshesays]

THIS GAME IS THE SEX

I bought it and I'm absolutely addicted to this game, and yes I have completed DMC1234, but this new aesthetic for DMC is beautiful, the environments look stunning and when they move out of there places it just looks so trippy, by the way DANTE, VIRGIL and KAT are portrayed so realistically I love there style and the way there characters develop I like where the series is going and I too was skepitcal at first, but NT did a great job, amazing game!

if you cant embrace this, then move along, but im having a blast of a time with this :3 x

[KontryBoy706]

I'm sure if this made it to the white house it would be in Obama's funny paper selection lol

[phantomexe]

I just checked this article and lol. This is sad really....so many cry babes today.

[modesign]

so much for 1st amendment rights.

if you dont like a game you want it banned. sounds like the entitled cry baby loser.

[Karum]

I cannot get over the sheer retardation of this. First of all there's the grammar which is atrocious in the extreme.

Then there is the claim that says the game violates "our rights to have a choice between the original's or the reboot."

Umm, you do have the choice lol. You have the games readily available for current gen consoles via the HD collection and DMC4 is still available to buy on multiple platforms. you also have the choice to ignore and not buy the reboot.

Just because someone makes something in a manner other than how you as a consumer wants it made doesn't mean your rights have been breached lol.

Seriously can't get over this, I almost hope it gets the required number of signatures so the Whitehouse can say fuck off you retard, though obviously in a more politically correct manner.

[zneiSienz]

Okay this is just stupid now. Fucking grow up.

[stage88]

Whatever, crap game anyway.

[MadMen]

Its like gun control, its takes one Dumb@$$ to screw it up for everyone else

[pennywhyz]

In NYC ther has been 5 train deaths in the last month what does that mean we should take the train away or with all the thousands that die in car accidents each year, you know what pull the cars to.See where im going with this this country is retarded.

[mamotte]

Comedy article of the day.

Man, cant stop laughing...

[dvfaa]

As someone who loved the old series (Except for DMC4) I really enjoy this new one.. not sure why all these people are bitching about it

[Kidmyst]

Whoever started this petition and signs it goes into the category of whiny little B**ches! If you hate a game don't buy it, simple as that. If a company puts millions into a reboot and it fails due to no one buys it, then they have a message right there. The White House will not do anything even if a million signed it due to freedom of speech, they will say. It would have to be really offensive to a Race, Sexual nature, or Religion for example to get their attention. To insult consumers? PPppft, you think the WH will worry about that? No political gain or obligation could be made from that.

[NotSoSilentBob]

And this is yet another reason that the White House Petition website is going to continue to be a joke. It is a Serious website that "adults" with child mentality think is a way to protest.

Don't like that game, DON'T BUY IT, if you buy it you are SUPPORTING IT AND APPROVING OF IT.

EDIT: The petition you are trying to access has been removed from the site under our Moderation Policy because it is in violation of our Terms of Participation.

[linkenski]

Ugh fandom is gonna overtake gaming at some point if their cries are gonna get louder and louder like they did in 2012. It's okay to complain, just realise that there are other less aggressive methods of doing it.

[Kte]

you know what it really is? at the end of the day, it's just a game lol like obama got time to worry about something like this, especially when he is focused on the violence in games, not gameplay. IMO I liked the fighting, and combos, but the story was waaaaaaay to short.

[koehler83]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

[Elda]

Bottom line..... there's old Dante & now a new young Dante,there's old DMC & now the new reboot DmC,either you're interested or not interested,if you're not interested MOVE ON,who that are interested then let's continue to have postive discussions,Capcom have the money to make whatever they want when they want,these anti-DmC haters need to get over that there's a possibility this new Dante may be here to stay with more games to look forward to & that's that!

[aliengmr]

So because a few people make a ridiculous petition, all gamers are entitled whiners?

"The stench of entitlement wafting off the games community these days is disgusting."

This line here directly follows the posting of the petition. It makes no attempt to be specific, and just insults the entire community.

I think this petition is beyond silly. So much so its barely news worthy. But this article is far worse. It spends more time hurling insults than explaining how few of the games community support this silliness. Shameful.

[jacksheen0000]

The Japanese game violent rating is a lot higher than the United sates, I don't see them going around killing each other.

[Kran]

Look, it might not be the DmC people hoped for, but it's still actually a good game :/

[VTKC]

I think the president of the United States has more important things to be dealing with than please some fucking gamer. I hope that letter was just a silly joke.

[Fasttrack76]

That picture is awesome...

Anyway don't like the game don't buy,simple as idiots. Myself i love the game and its the only dmc I've played this long

[optimus]

Hilarious...this HAS to be a desperate cry for attention...hell, why not make a petition for the countless bad movies that come out? Or ugly cars that plague the roads like the prius? This may have had some merit if it were for the airport scene in modern warfare 2 and even then it was seen as JUST A GAME.

[Coke-a-Cola]

OH Ya...... Well........ I am angry the earth is round ...

[ScubaSteve1]

president obama has a lot more on his hands then violent video games

[VikingDaddy]

Reading the petition, seems like fairly obvious trolling...and successful, too, from the looks of it. "We, as consumers did not want nor need this reboot and we believe it violates our rights to have a choice between the original's or the reboot." Huh?

[TriangleOffense]

"We, as consumers did not want nor need this reboot and we believe it violates our rights to have a choice between the original's or the reboot."

Pathetic. Here are your choices. Buy the new one, or play the old one. This is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen anyone do.

[MAULxx]

This is hahahaha....... funny & ridiculous.

[MonopolyRSV]

This is still America, the Constitutional republic. Wannabe dictator Obama can't do 5h17.

[rick4691]

Wow...they seriously need to get a life.

[mi_titan27]

I feel this reboot is a GREAT game!

[Warhead7]

Am I reading this right? They want it removed because its not as good as the other DMC games? Really, "it violates the rights"?

[Daves]

What a waste of some governmental persons time... even if they just had to read over the petition once.

[Max-Zorin]

I'm going to Canada.

[KeanuReeves]

The petitioner is definitely right about one thing, it's not a traditional "DMC" game--it's better. He doesn't look like Dante, blah blah blah. No sane people care. I was, and still am, a fan of the original series, but get over yourselves. I know the petition is for teh laughs, or at least I hope it is, but just don't buy the damned game if you don't like it.
