I still think they are doing great, my only real criticism of them is regarding MH. They have "streamlined" Wilds so much that it may be a great game for newcomers of the series, but any longtime veteren is going to come away disappointed (I sure have). I see DD 2 being brought up a lot, but I haven't played it to comment on it. Capcom is still knocking it out of the park with the RE series though.

 

[rofif]

Yes dd2 was amazing. Pc players hate campaign for some mtx was idiotic

 

[The Cockatrice]

Last game I played from them was RE4R and it was amazing. Before that, was Village, again, fantastic. I know how to pick my stuff to play, I dont just mindlessly buy what the masses buy just because its popular like Monster Hunter. That shit is trash for me. Even RE3R was decent so as long as RE9 is a better version of 8, then im all in.

Opinions of the critics and game journalists: always right.
Opinions of your fellow gamers: always full of shit.

You do you man.

I don't really rely on journalists as I like to form my own opinion. I did a quick metacritic check out of curiosity. It can be a good barometer to at least get a sense of the quality of a game. You're right though, looking at the userscore for those two examples, they are rated average. I stand by my initial comment though. I'm sure both are great games that may not have lived up to die hard fans lofty expectations.

Of the Capcom games I have played recently, they've all been excellent. All the Resident Evils of the past few years, Kunitsu, Street Fighter 6, etc.

I see your sample of opinions from ~200 marketing agents and present you a sample of 200000 paying customers

 

[XERXES_89]

Most overrated publisher nowadays.

 

[Plies]

Capcom was peak in the late 90's .

You do you man. But I'd say go play the games, form your opinion and then come have a discussion about it if you want. But please don't use review scores as your only argument, those are more often than not absolutely worthless.

Fair. I should have also mentioned that I also played many of Capcom's ls recent games and found them all excellent. Looking forward to my eventual DD2 play through.

Agreed that game journalists are not the best source of what's great or not. I'd say user scores are equally not as useful, considering you have a bunch of 0 - 5 ratings for a game that clearly doesn't fall into that bracket and 10s on the flip side.

I will play what I think I'll like. Like I said, Minster Hunters not my jam so won't play it. DD2 looks. right up
My alley so I'll check play and very likely enjoy

And what recent Capcom games have you played?

 

[ReBurn]

I judge every game on a case by case basis.

Yeah in case of metacritic id agree, user reviews are far less useful than even critic ones there imo (if we could filter out all the 10/10 and 0/10 theyd be a far better indicator)

Capgod is a meme. They put out just as many shitty games as they do good ones.

Dragons Dogma 2, Exoprimal, Monster Hunter Wilds, Resident Evil Re:Verse, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster (one of the worst remasters i've ever played).

Pragmata's gameplay looked awful and I don't care what that retard Maximilian Dood says about it.

"They put... a freakin puzzle mechanic... in the game!? GOTY!!!"

They're also censorship happy as the cherry on top (see Onimusha 2 and DRDR again).

In terms of their good games, it's basically just Resident Evil. Devil May Cry 5 came out six years ago so that series doesn't qualify as relevant to me any more (as much as I hate that hack Adi Shankar, he's actually right that his stupid show is the main thing keeping it in the spotlight - and that is sad).


If so-called Capgod didn't have Resident Evil, nobody would care about them.

 

[Jesb]

They make my favourite series so they will always be top tier for me as long as they are making great RE games. And they been hitting those out of the park. The new Onimusha looks incredible, and Pragmata could be good. I can't really speak on dragons dogma or monster hunter as I never played any of those. RE9 is my most wanted game over anything else.

 

[Memati187]

Capcom sucks nowadays. RE2-4 Remakes are not actual remakes. Re2 fucked up the A/B Scenarios, RE3 fucked up the whole Nemesis narrative, RE4 is more a new imagination, but without the charisma of the original.

Abandoned DD2 for that piece of shit MH.
Still no Dino Crisis. Out of all the releases in the recent years, only RE7 got the premium treatment with a lot of content.

I will buy re9, I can't help as a RE fan. But still fuck crapcom.

 

[MayauMiao]

I always wanted to play Dragons Dogma and couldn't do it until part 2, which I played a bit, but it wasn't a good game.

Monster Hunter wilds was a total disappointment after World. It ran poorly, looked like crap and had an underwhelming non existant story, I uninstalled the game after about 5 hours.

Now we've recently seen Resi 9 and I have to say my first thought was, it won't be good again, even though I actually liked the trailer. And I enjoyed playing Resi 7/village.

I got burned 2 times in a row from playing Capcom games. And no longer have confidence in them. Is it just me?

Its too early to judge on Resident Evil 9 since there was not a single gameplay was shown.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Still got more hits then misses in my book, but personally was never a fan of Dragon's Dogma and I'm waiting on Wilds to get a major content update.

Loved both RE VII and VIII, SF6 is game That I have played consistently since it released and will likely play until the end of the generation. RE4 Remake was excellent but I still prefer the original. Onimusha is looking good. They are still one of the best in the industry

 

[Bigfroth]

Capcom needs to do the Dino crisis 1&2 remakes to level up to S rank.

 

[Danjin44]

Loved both RE VII and VIII

Despite not liking first person, I'm enjoying REVII more than I thought…..but my biggest criticism against that game is the regular mole enemies are boring ass designs.

 

[hinch7]

They never left. Maybe not as creative as back in the heyday but the quality is certainly up there.

REmakes and mainline games being especially great as is SF.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

No, that's not why Konami outsources projects, it's because their internal teams are extremely limited to mobile/pachinko, PES and Yu Gi Oh. They literally cannot handle any sort of large scale development on their own.

I'm sure you feel like you refuted something I said here.

 

[near]

I'm sure you feel like you refuted something I said here.

But I did, you may just not have understood it. You suggested that From, Capcom and SE are technically subpar, and then used Konami outsourcing as evidence of that, which makes no sense. Konami outsources because they lack internal development capacity, not because of technical abilities, your example doesn't support your point.

 

[yet_another_alt]

A few years from now when Wilds has more content and the average person has a system that can run it, people will be praising it while shitting on its successor.
