So what you're saying is some nepobaby killed DD2 because it was more niche than the cash cow Monster Hunter?

>>278938
I guess.

>>278923 (OP) 
>itsuno got fucked over because of some nepo baby
>not because the other project was literally one of capcom's strongest franchises while istuno was dicking around with his passion projects
he definitely got fucked over but this is some retarded connect the dots shit. It likely wasn't anything different from what happened w/ xenogears and ff7, corp simply took resources and used them somewhere better

Literally who...

>>278947
No need to post showcasing your ignorance.

>>278923 (OP) 
Itsuno shouldn't be in charge of anything except for gameplay and game mechanics.
Everything else, like story and especially character design should be out of his reach.

>>278946
Itsuno wasn't any developer, he literally resurrected DMC from the dead and made it a hit series again, it's why Capcom even allowed him to make DD2. DD2 was very anticipated, it was treated as the new Elden Ring, until people found out how mediocre it was. Capcom did what any corpo does that's right, but they could've delayed MHW for a year or brought in external developers instead of killing a potential successful series. Nintendo brought in Xenoblade 2 developers to work on BotW but they didn't kill Xeno for it like what Capcom did.

>character design
I liked V.

>>278994
V's design was fine I agree but then we have characters like niggerfied Morrison, horseface Trish/Eva and Lady, I’m glad we didn't get to see Kyrie or Patty. 
And on the topic of the series being resurrected I have the same sentiment towards DMC 5 that I have towards DMC 4, so an unfinished game with abundant padding in the middle and a glued together ending. I love the fist and the third entry in the series but the rest didn't deliver. At least Itsuno had some standards, so with him gone and DMC being seen as a profitable franchise someone will milk it dry at capcom for profit.

>Monster Hunter Wilds reused some Dragon Dogma 2 animations

While Capcom's handling of DD2 was shit, I don't think this is particularly nefarious. Modern developers are particularly lazy when it comes to animation work and love to reuse assets across the company's products when they can get away with it. It wouldn't surprise me if Capcom originally made those animations for something else entirely and reused them across 4+ different games+rereleases throughout a decade. As an example, Ubisoft is a well documented case of both: They'll take ridiculous steps to avoid something as simple as making an alternate gun animation where the character holds it properly instead of by a vertical foregrip (like adding random straps to guns that shouldn't have any kind of vertical foregrip), and their gun models (with the same mistakes) can be seen reused in completely different games where their presence makes no sense and it clashes with what little art style they have.

>I liked that nu-male faggot in DmC2
That's because you are homosexual and have shit taste
>>278997
>V's design was fine
It was garbage, the same shit we find in western AAA slop.

>DmC2
We get it, you hate the cake kike too. Try to at least follow the discussion at hand nigger.

>>278923 (OP) 
>how barebones it was, like it’s not a sequel at all, like they stopped adding content midway
I saw a shitty video on jewtube that said the game as presented is just a prologue. If you climb to the red dragon's chest while it carries you to the final boss area and use the McGuffin sword to kill yourself, you break fate and the actual game starts instead of giving you the regular ending. There was a fair amount of footage to back up his statements.

>>278976
Agreed.
That one Game Informer interview pretty much says it all.

>>279111
I know he said this, but I played DMC5 and it’s infinitely better than DmC, and there’s not much similarity except Nero’s new design.

>Being this butthurt
Itsuno himself admitted ge wanted to make DmC2 and said that shitshow that was 5 was heavily inspired by it.
You can cope and deny as much as you want but he said so himself.
Itsuno is a faggot who pushes the same cancer that western studios shove in their slop.
And don't forget about all the niggers in Dragon's Dogma 2 going "we wuz knights n'shit nigguh".
The guy is decent at planning gameplay but complete shit at everything else.

>imagine defending this garbage
If a western studio was behind this trash you would be shitting all over it, but since some slanted eyed faggot did it, then it's fine.
Itsuno made DMC gay, and that's because he's a faggot himself.
Also he's a westaboo like Kojimbo in the worst sense, meaning that instead of admiring and taking inpiration from actual western culture, he just takes the bastardized version of it that ((( hollyjew ))) produces in their slop.

>>279177
I forget about how ugly DMCV is every time until I am reminded... I hate modern capcom so much.

>>278994
Same, he's such a hottie. by the Gods I wish more studios leaned more into the effeminate hot guy design instead of the endless meat muscle uggos we have to deal with.

I want to be in an open relantionship with those strong indpendent women.

>>279177
It's still bizarre to me how they went from Nico's very passable and interesting concept art to whatever the fuck this turned out to be. And I don't buy the excuse that she's this fucked up because she is Agnus' daughter. Arkham was no looker but Lady turned out just fine.

>>279177
>Itsuno made DMC gay
As an outsider I can assure you that DMC was always gay.

>>279235
Anon that's just you projecting.

>>279235
The first one sure wasn't.
