The fact of the matter is that Matthew was just being a contrarian because people shat on W101 for having shit camera. But neither the people criticizing the game nor him could grasp that the real issue wasn't the camera but that Kamiya decided to frame the entire fucking game diagonally rather than vertically like any normal isometric camera, leading to considerable portions of the screen always being out of player view, because saw a shmup do it when he was a kid.
Matthew then proceeded to suck W101 for being a huge arcade homage. Same guy who said DMC3 didn't count because Itsuno had a "first try" with DMC2.
This thread is a huge waste of time because you people ignore the Leprechaun is a Kamiya dickrider and will come up with any kind of rationalizations to defend his dev crush.
