i got DmC for free on PS+ and man i regret even downloading that piece of trash.

Avengingkinght924494d ago

If you hated it from the start then why did you even bother downloading it in the first place. I swear butt hurt people like you give gamers a bad name.

Ratty4494d ago

How can you tell if you're going to hate it without playing it first?

MrSwankSinatra4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

You're the butthurt gamer crying about what the hell I do. Get over yourself crybaby

XisThatKid4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

Prolly another butt-hurt Dante Man-crush fanboy.

Anyway, OF course they are still selling becaus what everyone thinks everyone else is thinking and worried about other peoples opinions than enjoying their damn games. They are both solid and enjoyable games. My only problem with DmC was 30fps THAT in my opinion should have been like its predecessors but didn't ruin it for me.

TheTwelve4494d ago

I didn't buy it either but I'm enjoying it via PS+

darren_poolies4494d ago

You kidding? DmC was one of the best games to come out last year. You may not have liked the direction they took with the reboot but it is nowhere near being a "piece of trash" or a terrible game.

InTheLab4494d ago

Of Ninja Theory's three games, it's probably the worst.

With that said, it's not a bad game, only one no one wanted.

godofboobees4494d ago

DMC is actually really good. Wtf are you talking about?

Highlife4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

No it's not,wtf are you talking about?

Fight fight fight fight

PaleMoonDeath4494d ago

Gameplay was incredible, the characters and plot.. unbelievably forgettable, played through the game just to kick some ass & grab a few trophies.

Devil18704494d ago

i bought it on steam when it was 75% off. i still regret buying it.

But...is RE6 selling? If it's predecessor is selling better, there's something wrong.

Timesplitter144494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

Honestly, RE5 may have looked more like a next-gen Contra than a resident evil game, but I had a BLAST playing it in co-op.

And I thoroughly enjoyed the cheesiness of it : http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Kenshin_BATT0USAI4494d ago

That scene was amazing. I've never seen someone with a punch stronger than a shove.

DEATHxTHExKIDx4495d ago

sad to see DmC didnt do better.

KonsoruMasuta4494d ago

I'm glad to see that the sales were trash. There was no need for a reboot that completely ruined an established character.

DragonKnight4494d ago

You're sad to see a terrible game was received as a terrible game should be?

MadLad4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

Many old school fans hated it. The general public saw it for the solid title that it was.

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

@DragonKnight

And if you check those reviews, the vast majority are said outspoken fans of the original series giving the game between a '0' and a '3' because they didn't like the new take on the brand or what they did in terms of the mechanics. Let's please not treat the user review section of Metacritic as anything more than the outspoken internet idiot platform that it is almost purely used for.
Believe it or not, I trust the opinion of all major review sites involved over the vitriol laden rantings of 'fatal_slash' and 'kennedyballyhoo'.

DragonKnight4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

User score 4.9 and terrible sales tend to debunk your "The general public saw it for the good game that it was" statement.

@above edit: How do you know the vast majority are said outspoken fans? You have no way of proving that. And you blindly trust random review sites that are paid via advertisement dollars instead of actual people?

Disregarding all of that, the sales numbers don't lie. The general public didn't buy the game. Why? Because it's terrible and they knew it, so your point is still debunked.

How many of the older Devil May Cry games could you do this with?

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

darren_poolies4494d ago

@DragonKnight

Yeah because metacritic user scores are a great indicator of what the general public think about games. /s

MadLad4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

@DragonKnight

I know because they state as much in how they compare the game to the originals. That and some simply state so. Not to mention a lot sure seem to be written from a place of bias.
And I never said I blindly trust review sites. I said I still trust their opinion over the drudge that is the metacritic comment section. Also, to claim that I can't trust gaming sites is to say that every review should be expected to be paid for. I guess that is a great way to look at things when you are trying to make a point and need something to back it. With that, I certainly trust sites like Giant Bomb, whose formation literally goes back to the creator being unwilling to write a paid review and being fired from Gamespot because of it.
I'm done arguing non-points though. It's a waste of time.
As for the video, sorry, but finding an exploit in what is essentially still the tutorial, in a very much constricted space in comparison to the majority of the game does not a terrible game make.

DragonKnight4494d ago

For the last time, disregarding the reviews since you don't want to include the ones that prove you wrong, the game's sales tanked. Why is that? Because the game sucks and the majority public that you're so fond of speaking for proved it by not supporting a terrible game.

Fin.

MadLad4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

Actually, DragonKnight, the series has always been driven on the previous players themselves. When the oldschool fans didn't appreciate the game, no one did . . . outside of every professional reviewer who reviewed the game, it seems. Nice to see you think so highly of yourself that all of them are wrong and you are right though.
If I am avoiding the reviews that prove me wrong, you are avoiding the ones that prove me right. Then again, I am not hopping on the backs of others to prove me right, as you are. I am just using them as reassurance. If a highly rated game on Metacritic doesn't do well, that's not the fault of the game, despite your lofty attempts at making it seem so. Great games often go unrewarded, but that doesn't make them bad games. You can take your straw man arguments elsewhere, if you wish. They aren't sufficient either way.
Being that that is my last bubble, that is obviously my last public statement on the matter. You can continue to post easily disputed non-sense that I would easily shoot down otherwise.

^ Yea lemme tell you how terrible the gameplay above is. Yes, let's hate the only hack and slash game of 2013 that had tons of color in EVERY level, wasn't afraid to say NO to quick time events, with the most freedom and skill required to create cool looking combos, yea **** that game, let's stick with the ones that have brown colors, quick time events, and more cutscenes and set pieces than typical gameplay while also having less content.

Being sad at a terrible game selling terribly sounds terrible to me.

darren_poolies4494d ago

The game wasn't even close to being terrible.

Ultimax4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

You can only predict one thing from comments like this = Xbot

That's the only and only reason for a person who never lived the PS2 experience in the old days and wish for a complete trash game to sell better than the original one's How the F could anyone prefer the new "Donte" over the original one , The reason why you can find salty assholes down vote comments that despise this game are the reason why Capcom will never evolve "FOR BETTER"
Desperate much ?

Lord_Sloth4494d ago

I am forever proud to be a member of the DMC1-4 fanbase for sticking to their guns when they said they wouldn't support it.

PaleMoonDeath4494d ago

Great gameplay, terrible everything else, totally worth the free download, not something I'd shed £40 on when it came out.

What about DMC4? Im still playing that game.

MilkMan4494d ago

Of course, DmC is off the hook.

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker134d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92134d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr134d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992134d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani133d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

LucasRuinedChildhood134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730134d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave134d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde134d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88133d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb133d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh134d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
