Reminds me of DmC, game got lots of heat, but because the director was such a dick to the fans, even going as far as to make fun of them in the game, and the game suffered in sales for it
Though I can't really blame him for it, considering the devs were getting tons of death threats
It's the unfortunate reality, but it's why a creator should not try to respond to unreasonable hate with equal vitriol. From what Angry Joe said, the game is pretty good and is not as bad as what haters like to say it is.
