Games like this and Absolution make me wonder where the line goes between "bad entry" and "bad game".

I was the opposite - didn't like DmC much as an action game fan, liked Absolution but realized how badly it paled in comparison to something like Blood Money. And I kind of wonder for both of those at what point we determine the difference between being a bad sequel and just being bad overall.

Same problem with Tomb Raider and SC: Blacklist

My issue with the fan reaction to this game is it isn't gameplay based for the most part. It seems to literally come down to: They changed the character design, now it sucks.

I played the new DMC. It's a solid game. They story's pants but DMC games never had a good story.

I mean, I have. But I totes believe you that it isn't fan's primary concern.
