Why didn't Capcom just make Lost Planet 3 Monster Hunter in space?

Thanks for all the information guys!
The story is a joke, but I thought the majority of complaints from series fans stemmed around the shallow combat.
I was trying to track down a copy of God Hand at GameStop actually. They are having a 75% off PS2 sale.

Isn't that what Lost Planet 2 is, in essence?

According to 8-4 play the monster hunter podcast, it was close but wasn't right in some key areas.

GamersGate's new Daily is 66% off Castle of Illusion ($5.10).
As long as you don't expect it to be as good as the four other games you mentioned. Expect NG3 levels of quality and you'll be happy with what you get.
Oh wow this is a thing
Would kill to see a breakdown of the sales comparison after a while
I wonder if this is just a Steam key, like Darksiders 2, or an actual Origin version, like DMC.

DmC is a competent action game with some absolutely amazing world art and some truly cringe-worthy dialogue and questionable design choices. So it's kind of like every other game Ninja Theory has made to date. How questionable a take it is on the Devil May Cry series depends on who you ask. Devil May Cry always had a playful absurdity to its story and cutscenes, maybe unintentional in the first game but by DMC3 they kind of reveled in it. DmC's plot is first year art student political and edgy. Plus it's kind of dumb and pretty crass. But who plays Devil May Cry for its story?
DmC has what is likely the most complex and well implemented combat system that Ninja Theory has made to date. So it's better than Heavenly Sword and Enslaved. The problem with the combat in DmC is that it is much more limited because of a certain design choice. On top of Donte's normal weapons you gain angelic and demonic weapons, these are used to fight angelic and demonic enemies. The problem is that these angelic and demonic enemies are only affected by their weapon type. What this does is functionally limit the kinds of combos you can use, it limits the sandbox of the Devil May Cry series, its combat system. And then there's how uninspired some of the bossfights are. The visual design is usually incredibly inventive but the game design is relatively simple and limited.
It's not as bad as Devil May Cry 2 (that fucking helicopter rooftop battle) that game was straight up broken and DmC isn't but I'd argue that DmC is not as good as any of the other entries in the series. It feels like a step back from Devil May Cry 4.
I'm a fan of the Devil May Cry series and I gave DmC a shot despite some reservations. Initially I quite liked the game but the more I played the more it began to feel like a chore. I haven't beaten it yet, I got about seven hours in, roughly halfway through, before I kind of lost motivation to keep playing. I still have it installed and intend to beat it but DmC isn't exactly on the top of my to-do list.

"@icculus Are there any games that actually have native support yet? One that we can use as a reference? Even Valve games dont have it yet
"
See, this is what I was talking about.

Im caught in a downward spiral, where i buy games thats on sale because i know i will play them later. But then i get a guilty conscious for spending so much money and dont play them so i sit down and try to decide what to play and i realise that i have to many games and dont know where to start so i fall back to play games you cant finish like MMO's. And then i get back to buy more games....

I am absolutely strict with myself on this: no buying a new game if i have a backlog >1 per platform - and i plan upcoming releases into it too...
so i have saints row 4 on 360, Witcher 2 on pc, and ryse on xbo in the backlog.

Im having a real hard time not to buy a game thats on sale, because i know that i will want to play it later and then i might have to pay more for it. Wish i had your self restrain.

I tell you already, no buys on Origin.
I'm predicting 99 to 1 Steam/Origin split.

Come to Origin:
Here are the few of the recently-greenlit games that have been in bundles (I forgot to do this the other day):
As history will indicate, I can't make any promises, but we'll see how long this one lasts.

That's too much to be honest.
I thought I was being conservative.
Probably it's 200 to 1 split, if not more. No one buys non-EA games on Origin.

Well, I bought a few games, mostly those not available on Steam (or grossly overpriced as is the case with Alice in EU)
But did you download them? Then you'll see the horror that is Origin.
Didn't have any problems with KoA or Mass Effect games, and each of these was a 80+ hours endeavour.
Oh yes, maybe the dev would fix bugs in PC port if it got on Steam? The config changes not saving between sessions is pretty annoying.
You guys keep quoting this, and every time I get sad because i was asleep when this bug was up
Started playing some Payday 2 recently with a bunch of pals. Damn, this game is pretty tough! It seems at low levels you just don't have the tools to do heists stealthily, since you can't really eliminate many guards and you're so easily detected by cameras and stuff. Fun, but things go sideways real fast on nearly every heist so far.
I didn't even know this existed until after a few weeks

Hey, didn't realize that was getting updates. Guess it might get on Steam after all.
This just reminded of my struggles. Not with Dark Souls, that's a piece of cake compared to MGR on normal difficulty. I will never ever learn to parry in either game but guess which game is beatable without parry and which becomes pretty damn hard early on. I seem to be pretty damn terrible in most of these Japanese action games. I want to play them but I struggle with my reflexes. Dark Souls in comparison doesn't require that kind of rapid attention to every little thing that happens in the game and I wouldn't even classify it as an action game.
Maybe Giant Bomb saves me and runs through MGR so that I don't have to struggggggle.
thanks guys! it's currently set on Balanced. hmm. I do still want the PC to sleep/standby when the system is idle.
