Well it's not JUST that though. I mean, I'm pretty certain a big factor is the sales. FF13 isn't the best selling FF, FF7 and FF10 beat it, but it's no slouch, and beats a lot of the non-groundbreaking FFs. Then 13-2 sold pretty great too, considering it was a low budget sequel.
The entire FF13 series currently weighs in at about 11 million sales, and there are no stats for Lightning Returns.
The original FF13 had some pretty huge scores from notable reviewers, too, and they backed themselves into a corner with 13-2 by having an actual cliff hanger.
The games also seem to be direct answers to criticisms. 13-2 is less linear, more fun/lighthearted, but people complained that Lightning appeared on the cover, yet hardly appeared in the game. Lightning Returns brings her back. Combat got more and more involved.
Obviously there were a lot of factors we'll never know about, but yeah, there was plenty of precedent, I'd say

Lightning won once, and was beaten by Tifa once and Yuna once, to my recollection, but she was always pretty high up there. A lot of people love Lightning, and it's not just localized to Japan. Heck, on this very site a while back a bunch of people got aggressive over me saying Lightning was a boring character.
It may be cool to hate Lightning now, but she definitely has plenty of fans floating out there

Yes, but the real question is will she be the main character, or a Roxas style introduction character

Glad I'm not the only one upset it's not pink

Considering it seems DMC was a slight failure, I wouldn't be surprised.
Then again, this is Capcom, they might just go and be petty about it

Oh, I completely forgot, but apparently the original people had absolutely no interest in making a continuation of the original series, and that's why they did the reboot and new dev thing. Basically the reboot was to protect the sanctity of the old series, and (in theory) not piss off fans if the new dev ****ed it up. Obviously that last part backfired, but hey, surely DMC over no new Devil May Crys is better, right?

Plus it's actually alluded to in a previous game, unlike the crucible stuff

Nope. nope nope nope.
NOOOOOOPE

What about it is silly? A weapon created by civilizations over hundreds of thousands of years that nobody understands, which was actually created by the Reapers which were actually the first spacefaring civilization which created robots that would destroy all life when robots got too advanced, melting down the life they kill to make more robots before the other robots can kill them, thus saving them from being killed and giving them eternal life as a robot that kills all of live to make more robots. Which they placed the manifestation of a Reaper inside of said weapon which, when reached, would give the person who reached it three options based on how much of an army they built up to fight the Reapers: destroy the Reapers, undoing hundreds of thousands of years of work, control the Reapers to basically make planet destroying space police... or fuse all of life with machines so they develop a hive mind of supersepcies that lead the universe into a golden age, but this fusion couldn't have been done earlier because apparently everybody in the universe had to be ready for it, and Shepard making it to the weapon somehow proves this. Then, depending on your choice, and explosion of varying colour comes out and either blows up the Reapers or makes them go away and promise to be good. Despite this explosion having no negative effects on anything but, at worst, synthetics, the Normandy immediately retreats, abandoning Shepard. All the Mass Relays, which deliver the science lasers that will destroy, or control the reapers... or fuse life with machines. This causes the Mass Relays to be destroyed, destroying practical space travel, and trapping the combined military forces of all the united major species on a now ravaged Earth. Then the Normandy lands on a random planet, and either everyone dies, or they're stranded. If you have a high military score and destroyed synthetics, Shepard breaths at the end. Then it turns out Mass Effect was a story told by someone on some planet to a kid who may in fact be the one Shepard saw die, and who represented the Reaper on the crucible.

Yeah no that sounds pretty silly.

The ending... even with the extended cut... is just kinda silly. Ignoring whether or not you like the whole Star Child thing, you are enver given a chance to even try to argue counterpoints during the ending, no matter what actions you took. It would have been easy if, say you made peace with the Quarians and Geth, to have a dialog choice where Shepard call him out on that, and he replies with "Sure they get along now but in the long term they'll fight wooooo I'm a ghost"
The completely lack of closure is also pretty bad, and what's worse is that from what I can tell it came from a completely lack of understanding from the devs that people could be invested in these characters. You don't see what comes of your romance, you don't get to see what your squadmates did afterwards. The ending was also slightly nonfunctional, if you get a low military rating, the squadmates you take on the final mission will die... and then show up again in the ending anyways.
Basically, it had all the signs of an extreme rush job, combined with a lack of player agency, weird out of the blue plot points... it was just kinda awkward.
And DMC does end with a cliffhanger, but it actually makes the complaints even more silly, becuase it's a cliffhanger that makes the game more in line with the previous ones (Dante gets silver hair, Vergil becomes the demons)

what, you're not a fan if you don't like everything it puts out? When the fans don't want something, it's the dev's job to fix it, not the fan's to suck it up.
I think the DMC outcry is silly, but the game sold a third as many copies as the fourth game in the same amount of time as a direct result. So they should have listened.
I don't think the Mass Effect 3 ending is silly though. That was a baaad ending, and I fail to see how it was insulting to say as much. What makes Bioware immune to critique? They wrote a bad ending, they were willing to try to fix the ending, and ultimately kinda sorta half apologized for it with the final DLC. Clearly THEY were willing to improve on it. I'd much rather the next Mass Effect be made by people who KNEW th ending sucked, rather than anybody dancing around the subject for their feelings

Don't be silly, obviously if some people don't like FF13 nobody likes it and it's actually a massive failure and hasn't sold millions of units. Some guy from Japan likes Lightning and that's the ONLY reason FF13 has a trilogy

Morgan Freeman voices a cat poster

The trailers actually generally cut the punchline of many jokes and the like, and it REALLY doesn't show off the manic energy of the film itself. It's both brilliant and kinda stupid for that, since the end result is that the best jokes don't end up getting spoiled for you

I'm not an expert, but I think it goes something like this:
If someone clicks on any ad on the same page as a video, you get a certain sum of money (varies by day), so both invideo ads and site ads. However, even if that is the case, most ad revenue will come from the ads you are forced to watch at the start of a video
I have an adsense account and it doesn't actually explain any of this, or where any money comes from really, so this could ba ll wrong, it;s just what I've gathered from listening to other YTers talk about it

That's... jsut sorta terrible
Ads are how youtubers make their livings. You're all but stealing my taking away their ad revenue

Except the subs page is glitched, which makes it harder to actually find the videos you want. Processing has become nightmarish for some tubers. Replaying a video mroe often than not jsut leads to it crashing, the way videos load make watching a video nearly impossible on low speed connections, never mind the copyright stuff flying around severely impacts what content is available in the first place

dumb luck

I like lots of stuff, I'm an incredibly positive person
