Well considering you don't seem to understand how subjectivity works,despite being a professional reviewer, I think I have the right to at least question you.
The most divisive game in the series is his favorite? That's obvious PR talk.
Wasn't Hellblade a last-effort, low-budget attempt by Ninja Theory to stay alive as they had no publisher to rely on for funding anymore? I find it hard to believe they would say no to making DmC 2 if they were in that situation.
I think we're lacking the full picture. Maybe what Itsuno told Reuben isn't false, but maybe he slightly exaggerated some details as he was talking to someone who might have been bitter about "losing" the role of Dante. And when it comes to what Itsuno has said to the press, a lot of that might be more positive than it actually is in order to stay professional. And some of the stuff he's said seems contradictory. On one side he said he wanted to make DmC2, on the other side he's said he's thankful DmC didn't sell better than it did as that meant he could go back to the original series.

"So fuck off with your disingenuous nonsense."
Talk about "subjectivity"...
So...it's your opinion that both are good games. Some people disagree that both are good games. This is how opinions work and it's OK for you guys to disagree there.
However if someone thinks one is a bad game, it's normal that the things they say will reflect that.
Thanks for taking the time to explain this. Really appreciate it. I like DMC. All dmc. Not into anything homophobic so they can stick it if that's the approach they went with.
While I'm not going to argue that Kat is some bastion of writing a female character she at least provides help to Dante through s very large chunk of the game.
And even when she's kidnapped she uses it to her advantage to get the layout of the building.
It's incredibly flawed and I won't comment on Lilith which is very mean spirited but Kat felt like a far more active participant in the story then Trish and Lady do a lot of the time.
Nico is really great though not going to deny that.
Yep, my point is that both games received a similar level of acclaim and I was amazed how one is usually treated in gaming forums in comparison to the other one. That is clearly, to me, something which goes beyond the quality of the games itself, it is in most cases fanboys being fanboys and I somehow though that this was mitigated in a place like Resetera.
A "raging pugilist"? Okay, that's a new one.
In regards to the bold, where did my post every mention anyone outside of this forum?
When did that poster, or any DMC fan here, say anything that would even remotely imply this train of thought? We like our Dante being a stylish, flamboyant, badass.
This is what DMC fans that don't care for DmC want Dante to be:
So fuck off with your disingenuous nonsense.
I'm talking about the DMC community that is here on this site. If you can find a DMC fan on this site that is mad about Ninja Theory essentially calling Dante gay, because they themselves think that is an insult to Dante and not to LGBTQ people, post it for the class to see.
Obviously there's gotta be garbage DMC fans out there that are homophobic. Homophobia is one of the biggest problems in our society and every fanbase is going to have shitheads like that.
What I'm trying to get at is that the DMC fans on this site, Youtube users I watch, and Twitter users I follow, all love Dante's non-traditional take on masculinity and we wouldn't have it any other way.
But reviewers don't have superior opinions. It's not necessarily about being fanboys, some people just disagree with the reviews. There are games that scored well that I think are bad games and I'll call them such. Critical acclaim is important but it's still subjective.
Of course it is subjective. Yet we can't assume that "out there" there isn't a similar reception for the two games. Most probably people like them almost equally and I would not be surprised is even sales-wise the two games (that is, DmC and DMC5) will have similar amounts in terms of sales.
The "one games is bad, the other is good" narrative I often see here simply baffles me because it goes way beyond the "i like this one more" thing.
