In the wake of divided opinions on the new Thief title, TotalBiscuit talks a little bit about the idea of using opinions you disagree with as a useful tool to help make purchase decisions.
The comments section is turned off, it has been for a number of months. Comments are on "Approval only" which means you can leave them, but only you can see them. That approval list never gets read.

To the dmc topic: it was the first one Ive ever got to play and I gotta say that I somewhat liked the coloured enemies, cuz I kinda forgot/ didnt want to use all the weapons because it was a bit overwhelming for me, this way I was "forced" to practise them a bit and I ended up using them a lot more than I wouldve otherwise
2021's no different. Plenty of sites like Destructoid and RU-vidrs have made a living off negativity. Even Jim Sterling admitted that his non-negative videos didn't bring in much revenue although he's more focused on game company politics than game mechanics.
You're absolutely wrong. DMC 4's combat is better in every single way. DMC doesn't even have half the depth that DMC 4's has as it lacks switchable style sets, streamlines the combat way too much and makes combos an absolute breeze to pull off that even the most unskilled and dumbest of players can master easily, whilst veterans are stuck with a combat system that appears deep on the surface but is actually quite shallow. It's not bad at all though, it's serviceable, but claiming it's anywhere near DMC 4's combat is laughable. Platforming is the only thing DMC did better I'll give it that. By the way, DMC on consoles couldn't even hit 60FPS, and was instead 30FPS, whilst DMC4 on consoles ran at 60FPS and even Looked better.
" gameplay was better than DMC 4's" Dude, just because gameplay in DMC: DMC is easier to understand and dumb down it doesn't make it better at fucking all xD
Every opinion is subjective, therefore I can't be compared to how you feel about something you didn't enjoy. I like better the rhythm and flow of the reboot, you don't. And that's okay.
@@Iamthequick i would argue that DMC4 has objectively deeper combat. Some opinions are less subjective than others. Now you saying the combat is better in the dmc reboot i can see your point. It has a much wider appeal so more casual players can enjoy it.
