video for their top 10 Capcom games, what are your top 10 Capcom games? Clover and Zelda games are allowed!
As for me:
Honorable Mentions:
x.x - Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (PS3/360/PC) - Having finished it yet, but I'm having a blast with it.
x.x - The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (GBC/3DS) - Same as Dragon's Dogma.
x.x - Mega Man 3 - Would actually be on the list if the finale was as great as the rest of the game. Great soundtrack though.
And you guys? Please, feel free to be descriptive.
God-awful
As for me:
10.Resident Evil 4 (GC/PS2/Wii/iOS/PS3/360/WiiU) - While I'm not a big fan of shooters, RE4 manages to grab me and keep me hooked for the entirety of its campaign. It managed to feel new while also keeping that classic Capcom feel. Still not Mikami's best game though.
Number 3 behind Vanquish and another game in this list.
9. Mega Man Battle Network 3 (GBA/WiiU) - The game that got me into Capcom in general. I must have played through this endlessly in my childhood. The Style Change from 2 was perfected and improved the gameplay immensely. None of the other MMBN games following this came close (though 6 was decent).
8. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (DS/iOS) - Another great Takumi game. An engrossing story, endearing characters, and a great premise. Also, one of the most insane plot twists ever.
7. Devil May Cry 3 (PS2/PS3/360/PC) - While I'm not a fan of its enemy encounters, its evolution of DMC's combat system deserves praise on its own. The Style system is probably one of the greatest mechanics in an action game. Allowing you to be literally invincible if one wishes to master it. Adding the fact that it's not afraid to kick you in the balls with its boss fights, which allows for a great challenge. And it has Vergil. Motherfucking Vergil.
6. Mega Man X - (SNES/GC/PS2/iOS/Wii/WiiU) - The GOAT Mega Man game. Best level design, best boss fights, and best goddamned soundtrack. The sequels managed to fall completely flat. The only one that holds a candle to X is X4.
5. Okami (PS2/Wii/PS3) - One might think that it would be wrong for the creator of DMC and Bayonetta to actually make a game that's mellow. But Kamiya knocks it out of the park in just one attempt. An absolutely beautiful world that still looks great even 10 years later, an amazing storyline with a finale that will bring you to tears, and an absolutely incredible soundtrack.
4. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations (GBA/DS/3DS/iOS/Wii) - The biggest reason why it hurts that Capcom refuses to bring over The Great Ace Attorney. While AA5 is great, it just didn't capture the magic that Takumi's AA games brought. Best finale in any story based game.
3. Devil May Cry (PS2/PS3/360) - In my opinion, still the best DMC. One thing that I still think that DMC trumps its sequels on is its enemy and boss encounters. While it is obvious that its gameplay is fairly dated, one must think about the context. DMC released almost 15 years ago and still manages to make every single enemy encounter feel significant. Even the regular enemies feel like boss fights. I can't say the same for its sequels (though 3 & 4's gameplay is top notch).
2. God Hand (PS2/PS3) - Definitely Mikami's best game. A game that never takes itself seriously and is clear sign that the devs had an absolute blast making this game. A game that actually punishes you for playing well as a sign for you to never get cocky. And it has some of the best Goddamned boss fights ever.
1. Viewtiful Joe (GC/PS2) - What does it take for a game to be considered "Viewtiful"? Is it amazing gameplay? Is it unforgettable boss fights? Does it need to ooze style? There is such a game that fits that criteria and that my friends, is Viewtiful Joe.
Honorable Mentions:
