There are those who primarily look for what they believe in order to say "I was right".

All matters of opinion. Two individuals with same negative views on the reboot, play the game/demo and one realizes they were wrong the entire time while the other still holds onto their same view.

You didn't tell others that the game would be good, you told yourself.

I for one enjoy the story over gameplay, yet that does not mean gameplay is not important as it is the sole reason for making the play-through fun. Thus, even if gameplay is fun, the story is obliterated; meaning no connections except for a few names.

According to sll who are not blind it is still dlow and doesnt look, play and feel like what it is meant to be - Devil May Cry.

Not saying its bad, as I will buy it at some stage (2nd hand once discounted) since it looks like a good game, but i just wanted a Devil May Cry game and this aint it.

Its like one of those expensive designer knock off watches that you can buy: they look good, work good and have the same branding, but they just dont feel right and those eho know their shit know its fake when they see it.

Currently sm playing DMC HD Collection and I am watching gsmeplay vids of the bastardised new DMC and as much as they have tried, it seems the speed aint up to par nor is the fluidity. This will affect timed button presses which spark of different combos where a few frames make all the difference.

Looking at MGS, this game holds up even less as the graphics dont match up and some how (and this is where you can see why the creator of DMC is a legend compared to those liars are NT), he has thrown in awesome graphics better than the new DMC, thrown in set pieces and moving environments and still kept it at 60fps.

Just shows that Crapcom snd NT can spend all the time and money in the world marketing and lying and forching shit down peoples mouths, but ehen 2 of the industries greates come together (the 2 Hideos), in less time than given to NT, they can still put together a better looking game with a better combat engine.

Never did the thought of you not telling others that the game would be good cross my mind, as you already stated it in your first comment.

What did come to mind is your optimistic outlook for the game is not a means of convincing others that the game would be good, it was the act of convincing yourself.

You already have the reasoning that because the developer is Ninja theory the story is already 10/10.

And (refer to first line in my first comment) you now have someone else's opinion that goes along with your hope (you had doubts) for good gameplay.

Therefore you celebrate in joy with your very first line "I freaking TOLD you guys it would be good!", based on the author's opinion.

I assure you everyone on that team has played DMC3. Most of them are huge fans of the franchise, which is something they've said multiple times in interviews...

I swear I'm the ONLY person who actually read/watches anything on this game.

I was just going to say this, their biggest and top rated game here is TLOU2 for PC….it’s embarrassing.

Even Ubisoft and EA are ahead

Kind of surprised Nintendo is pretty low aswell, their biggest game is also a rerelease with the Switch 2 version of TotK.

@christopher:” Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.”
.
Why single out Sony? Microsoft didn’t do any better than the year before 5th same as Sony 9th and they have acquired activision and other mayor titles that have boosted their score massively from a 9th and Sony a 4th the year before the acquisitions.
Sony does need to do better without a doubt and I do hope they do take note but not the note of buying publishers is the way to succeed.

Big part of that has been the live service push resulting in cancellation or flop after flop but when they put out the games their fans want we get amazing stuff like astro bot

Leadership really screwed the pooch trend chasing

Square doesn't help that it fear mongers itself with ridiculous 'goals' that they can't reach and then they proclaim failure if they don't reach it. They're quite freaking profitable and people act like they're dying.

to be very fair

being number one on these things does not indicate how "well" their games do selling wise.
