And to that I say FUCK OFF, especially after I repeatedly acknowledged DMC's own writing issues in that very thread. Which brings me to the point of me making a new topic about this. I've honestly grown rather sick of discourse surrounding DmC and how people - from both its fans AND its haters - seem to ignore the really important problems this game's writing suffers from. I don't care whether people think it's the best DmC game or whether it's a good game but a bad DMC game - what I care about is the visceral distate I felt the entire time I was playing this game and felt it was a direct attack on marginalized groups from developers who possessed genuine bigotry towards, and no amount of people telling me that the gameplay is actually amazing and the best in the series or what the fuck ever is going to change how I feel about these issues.

So yeah, come on and tell me after I wrote all that that DmC is still the best game ever 10/10 the haters are so unreasonable. I'm not letting this shit go because I want to force people to come out and acknowledge this game's problems if I fucking have to, because anytime a thread comes along and the drive-by defenders parrot the same shit I've been hearing the last 10+ years it just drives me up a fucking wall considering what this game actually represents for the writers' own beliefs and the general attitude of the industry at the time.
