(Anonymous) 2014-11-10 02:16 am (UTC)(link)I don't know why you're blaming gaming journalism for DMC. Capcom was disappointed that DMC4 wasn't a megahit. As far as I recall, every review of it was very honest about its flaws (level design, story full of holes, hell, Dante himself was the biggest disappointment). No one gave DMC4 a pass because of its name, not after the disaster that was 2.
But Capcom ignored all the valid crit those reviews presented and decided to simply start over. After the first trailer debuted everyone from journalists to fans said it was a bad idea, and Capcom went ahead anyway. And what happened is exactly what everyone said would happen: the game was fine, most reviews admitted it was a good action game, but a lot of people left it alone because it wasn't what they wanted. We all voted with our money on that one. They're not going to follow up on DMC.
So what do the journalists have to do with it?
