How do you guys feel about Capcom so far ?

Recently Capcom made another stupid move, yet, and this is a big one which is cancelling Mega Man Legends 3. Personally, I am not a Mega Man fan, but you dont have to be a fan to know its like a mascot of Capcom.

After what Capcom did, such as not including Mega Man in MvC3, or even the Ultimate version, Niitsuma lied to the MvC fans and treated them as idiot. Making DmC, while saying they listen to fans but the funny thing is, no one ever requested the DMC series to be rebooted or westernized. Cancelled Mega Man Universe (yes, cancelled 2 MM games in one year), cancelled Ace Attorney, no Monster Hunter. All and all, what do you guys think Capcom is going to do in the future ? Will you guys be supporting them ?
 
Capcom makes a shit load from SF so they're not really hurting but yeah it sucks oh well whatcha gonna do.
 
I am mostly pleased with capcom this gen, they've really delivered some great fighters and are continuing to do so -- can't for for 3s Online to hit PSN and XBL. Some big let downs though to in the form of DmC and RE5.

Really, they have nothing to worry about. I won't buy DmC or RE5 but I'm not going to abandon a developer for making its own business decisions.

Oh yea, I almost forgot to put that on my list. I think they will make a Hyper Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Arcade Edition Turbo Remix 3D after couple versions after Ultimate.

Yeah, they are continuing to release fighters, which is version, after version, after version of SFIV. So you will support them, even when obviously they are milking you ?
 
Fighters are designed to cater to those who treat them as a hobby. There's a ton a value in a good fighter, similar to MMOs that also charge users for the content added to it. It's "milking" to those who don't put time into them. If you buy an MMO and don't play it, stop paying the monthly fee -- if you only buy fighters to beat the arcade mode and take it online twice a month, stop buying every version on release date.

I've spent ~$200 on the SF4 franchise (includes a stick to play it on). You would call that being milked, but I doubt you have 1000+ hours into the game, do you? In reality, I'm getting the most entertainment for my money, hell I even bought a couple costumes because why not?

When they add even just 2 characters to the roster, it's like christmas for me. Go complain about shooters charging $15 for maps that anyone could make within a day and better ones at that.
 
I have yet to buy a version of Street Fighter IV or Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I will wait until a Game of the Year edition/Platinum Hits/Greatest Hits is released for both games before jumping on either.

I'm not that disappointed that Mega Man Legends III is being canceled since I haven't been able to play the first two games. Honestly, I'm more disappointed in Ace Attorney Investigations 2 not being localized. I enjoyed AA:I enough that I would buy AA:I 2 if I could read Japanese text and understand the inside/local jokes.

You say that as if every game company out there isn't trying to milk us in one way or another.

I can't lament games that I'll never get to play, either due to cancellation or them never getting localized. If I did, gaming would lose all it's fun. Instead, I just enjoy the games that do come out, and Capcom makes games I enjoy. As long as they continue to put out stuff I enjoy playing, I'm going to keep on supporting them.
 
Capcom use to be my fav dev but not now but still up there. Right now fighters are getting all the love which is fine by me cuz before re dmc & other nonfighter games were getting that love. So now its fighting games turn but I'm sure it'll switch back sooner or later. I'd still like a dino crisis return.
 
The only Capcom series I've followed in recent years are Devil May Cry and Ace Attorney. I don't like the look of DmC, Ace Attorney Investigations 2 isn't being localized, and none of their other stuff interests me, so I have absolutely no reason to follow Capcom anymore.

This is the only way I've been able to justify the announcement of UMvC3. For a game that I play every day and have spent $250 on (Special edition, TE stick, brady guide), I guess I have spent more money per hour of gameplay on other games. It still sucks though!
 
Well I am not even going to talk about the fighter aspect. I get why they do it and well lets forget about that.

Now on the other hand, besides their fighters I have not played a Capcom game this generation I loved. Dead Rising was alright, but it never really had the I love this appeal after awhile. Resident Evil 5 was an abomination to the series (I should not have to play a game co-op to get any enjoyment out of the game). Lost Planet was a big meh to me.

They canceled two megaman games. I am a huge megaman fan so I don't need to explain my feelings.

So overall I am seriously done with them. I haven't played a Capcom game that says yes I need this this gen (besides Megaman 9 and 10 because I am a whore for classic Megaman games).
 
They were one of my favorite publishers up until this generation of systems. It really seems like they're not even trying make good games anymore. The only Capcom game this generation I've actually bought a physical copy of was Lost Planet and I got that for free during a B2G1 sale. It was somewhat okay to play. Then for some reason, they really screwed with the sequel to that game.

I was disappointed to see how mediocre DMC4 & RE5 turned out to be. I haven't even tried SFIV & MVC3, since I gave up on the fighting genre a few years ago. I really couldn't get into the Dead Rising games. So the only thing they have made that I've enjoyed were Mega Man 9 & 10. Although I doubt they'll make anymore of those when they've canceled 2 Mega Man games in the past year.
 
I dislike them for an entirely different reason at the moment. I hate their shipping. Preordered Okamiden two months ahead of schedule, and they tell me they ran out of preorders when it's time to deliver them. And people that preordered "late" will have to wait a while longer if they still want the preorder bonus.

I was considered one of the late preorders. Payed in full in December, despite their website saying that I wouldn't be charged until it's shipped, and had to wait 23days to get it -- using their two day shipping.

But hey, in the end, I got it! And then they do another promotion where people that didn't preorder the thing got the bonus.

Did you buy Marvel vs Capcom through their store? Same shit.

Ghost trick bundle? Haha...

Oh that's right. I bought Sengoku Basara from them when it was $20 and it took them like 2-3 weeks to update my fucking order to shipping. Even though it's digital river it's still Capcom's fault for choosing someone incompetent to run an online store.

Yeah fuck Capcom.
 
I dont like capcom because all they can do is basically jerkoff a few franchises. And few good ones they had they have ruined like resident evil and the vs series.

They make stupid choices like putting in the never overwriting a save on the RE ds game, and they tried to sell character for a fighting game and before mvc3 is even cold they release a ultimate version because no one bought the skin packs in downloads. Then they take decent games like dead rising and then instead of letting the people who made the original good they hand it off to a western developer that just dumbs it all down by trying to cram in a bunch of shit that was good in moderation in the original game.

Oh and their capcom store is fucking awful.

Capcom is just another game company going down the toilet.


[quote name='62t']Don't blame Capcom for problems with their online store. Blame Digital River.[/QUOTE]

No you should blame capcom because ultimately capcom owns capcoms store website, digital river is handling the store but if capcom gave a shit they would make them fix it or change it over to someone elses hands that can do a proper job. But capcom doesnt tell them to change it or find someone else, they let it sit in DR's shitty hands because they dont care.

So yes blame capcom. Thats as stupid as say capcom letting me sell their stuff and I do a really bad job of it and not blaming capcom because they allow me to sell their products for them and allow me to keep doing a terrible job at it.
 
My feelings are mixed towards them. On one hand, I love some of their recent games such as the Ace Attorney series, Dead Rising series, Ghost Trick, Okamiden, Zack and Wiki, and more.

On the other hand, I'm disappointed that they cancelled MML3 and aren't bringing Miles Edgeworth 2 to the US.

While I enjoyed RE5, it was nowhere near as good as 4 and I hate the forced co-op.

As for their fighters, I've enjoyed SF4, TvC, and MvC3, but I'm not a big enough fighting game fan to be fully okay with the "super" versions.

And as for DmC, I'm glad the series is getting a reboot, but I'm not sure if I like the direction they are going with it. I'll at least give it a chance though, unlike most people seem to be doing.
 
I feel like a cheap whore. Capcom fucked me and now I'm playing old mega man games trying to remember what we once had

We've all been there, bro. Hug?
 
i dont care. the last capcom game i bought was dead rising 2 and being a zombie fan and a ps3 owner i just wanted to try out the series and unlike the many mvc3 fanboys i refuse to pick up the next version of the same game they have planned and in the future ill buy any other capcom games i have an interest in 6 months to a year later for subsequent rereleases and price drops. theres no point buying their stuff new anymore since its the sos anyway and you know they will release 3 or 4 versions of the same game with slight changes.

sucks about mega man too but when the creator up and leaves you there has to be something wrong happening over there.
 
Capcom has joined EA and Activision in my "only buy their games used" list. No MML3, no AA Investigations 2, no Prof Layton/Phoenix Wright... bah, nuts to them!

I basically feel that Capcom is too focused on Resident Evil and their fighting games. I don't care for fighting games and Resident Evil fell off after RE4. But even in these areas, Capcom's being as greedy as possible. They've released countless RE ports and remakes and they keep finding new excuses to release DLC content as a completely new game while dicking over people who bought the original copies- especially since after SSFIV, they said they wouldn't do somehting like that again.

And because they put zero effort into promoting Sengoku Basara, it bombed and now we'll never see the expansion (Basara 3 Utage) here. Given I'm one of the few people here who probably enjoyed Basara in the first place, but it really had the potential to do better than it did.

I was really into Operation Rainfall during that brief period of hope so I really feel for Megaman Legends fans considering how badly they've been trolled. As for me, since Breath of Fire and Onimusha are dead and Capcom's given the middle finger to Ace Attorney fans, they've lost me as a customer. I've never played a single Street Fighter game and I doubt we'll ever see a good non-spinoff RE again, so Capcom's pretty much dead to me.

I dont care about others companies, thats not the topic i am on right now. Right now, I am talking about Capcom and Capcom only. So you basically dont care about the method or moral of Capcom, whatever enjoys you, you will support them even if they literally spit in your face. You want to talk about fun, I dont think you really know what fun is. Games were fun when you pLAY to unlocked things, that motivation that keeps you playing. Now, you PAY to unlock things and I cant comprehend the "fun" you are talking about.
 
Hit a nerve, did I?

If I feel a company is doing something morally reprehensible or spits in the face of their fans, I have no problem boycotting them. I don't think Capcom is doing any of this. For examples of what I do consider face-spitting/morally reprehensible actions...
Poor working conditions/excessive working hours (see: the Team Biondi / Rockstar thing going on)...releasing a game with huge gamebreaking bugs (see: too many games to mention)...promising/hyping a game with all sorts of magical features only for them to not appear in the game (see: Fable series).

Cancelling games and/or not translating games despite fan demand I see as business as usual. It's been happening since games were on consoles. If I boycott every company that ever cancelled or didn't localize a game I wanted to play, all I'd have left is a ball on a string. Sure, Capcom deserves some shit for hyping a game that hasn't even been greenlit yet/the entire Capcom-Europe twitter thing, but not nearly as much as I've seen coming out of the Internet.

And DLC? Don't have a problem with it...at all. No one's forcing me to buy it. If I think the content is worth their price for it, I buy it. If I don't, I wait for it to either drop in price or I don't get it all. If I feel like I got my money's worth for the game as I bought it, I don't feel like that experience was cheapened by there being more content for the game. In fact, if I thoroughly enjoyed the game, I welcome additional content.
 
Good lord you are whiny OP. Your definition of fun is unlocking things, mine is good games.

I'll pay money for good games. If a business wants to take advantage of that, I'd think no less of them.
 
I just cannot support Capcom while they try to kill Mega Man. No Legends 3, no PSOne Classics releases of MML1 and 2, no Mega Man in MVC3U and MM Universe cancelled.

fuck Capcom.
 
Lots of hate towards RE5. Personally, I'lll support any publisher that does offline (Split-screen) Co-op. Some of us still have real world friends :).

I understand not liking the forced aspect but still... much better game then anyone has given it credit for being
 
I think all Mega Man is dead talk to be kind of silly. Mega Man 10 came out March of last year. Mega Man Zero Collection came out last year too. Archie Comics just started a new Mega Man comic series in May. Udon's still putting out a Mega Man Tribute later this year. Bandai had a Mega Man X figure has an SDCC exclusive this year, in addition to showing off a number of other figures. While sure Mega Man himself isn't in Marvel vs Capcom 3, he's still got two representatives from his franchise. That's two more than Rival Schools or Powerstone. That's a lot of appearances from a franchise they're supposedly trying to kill.
 
[quote name='JasonTerminator']Why?[/QUOTE]

Seems just a bit selfish.

Franchises die, games are canceled, titles are often left alone for a long stretch of time before being reborn (or never revisited again, god forbid). So of all the titles and franchises that go through this process, titles that hardcore fans from years, even over a decade ago will not see again or are still waiting for a continuation of their favorite game -- it's megaman that gets you riled up. fucking megaman.

Like Capcom hasn't made more than -- I don't know-- a couple or so MM titles in their history as a developer. Like you haven't had at least a game or two to tide over your rabid passion for a dated gaming icon in the past 10 years. MML3 is canceled and that's the last fucking straw isn't it?

fuck Capcom.
 
I love capcom but it's diminished a bit with their recent actions. They made all my favorite games like RE4, street fighter, megaman, etc.. I learned something and that is never buy games from capcom at launch. Man, I was pissed when they released RE5 (move enabled) and SF arcade edition after I bought those at launch.

It's selfish for me to not support a company because they are doing something I don't like? I'm supposed to be okay with Mega Man going away because other people didn't get sequels to whatever their favorite games are?

To be honest, it seems that Capcom might be right on the money, since a lot of you don't seem to care about the direction (Or lack thereof) the Mega Man franchise is going in, and are content to keep buying the same game twice (SFIV, Dead Rising 2, MVC3). Have fun with that, and Capcom laughs all the way to the bank.

I don't want to support that, and so I'm not supporting Capcom.
 
DMC4 is the last game of theirs I liked. Ever since the extreme disappointment that was RE5 I've been disappointed with them.
 
I used to love Capcom, but the years haven't been kind. I torture myself with Marvel vs Capcom 3 (quite possibly the worst fighter released in the past few years) and Street fighter 4 because my friends and the general community plays them. I'd much rather play something like HDR or Sam Sho2, but it's simply no fun going to gatherings and sitting in training mode for an hour because nobody wants to play.

Not much else to add that hasn't already been said lots of times except that I still wake up in the middle of the night weeping when I think about Ultimate Ghost's & Goblins.

Oh man, when they showed mvc3 trailers, I creamed my pants cuz it looked so slick and new. Kinda like how sf4 was when it launched. So then I buy it and play it and just put it down after 30 minutes. Like what the fuck was that? The main thing about it was the fucked up controls. I was a bit surprised at myself because I was mad at a GAME. It was like that gamefly commercial with all the people pissed about buying a shit game. What capcom needs to do is make a HD remix of capcom vs snk 2 and all will be forgiven.

I like Capcom personally. I've enjoyed the Resident Evil series since I was in jr high. No I haven't bought every single one and I don't MvC or SF IV but I've played both and enjoy them both. I'm not big into fighting games myself but if I was I'd probably own at least one if not both of these titles.

[/QUOTE]
Bad working conditions is, unfortunately, endemic in this industry. The Team Bondi thing is awful, but it's not the first time something like this has happened, nor will it be the last.

As for the "magical features" thing, I think you meant to say "(see: every Peter Molyneux game ever)" :p

I agree with you in that I don't think what Capcom has done lately is insulting, but at the same time, they have lost me as a customer, as they don't have anything that interests me anymore.
 
I'm pretty much content with what they've done this generation.

I know Resident Evil 5 was different than the past games, but I don't see what all the extreme outrage was about. I thought it was a lot of fun, it was one of my first platinum trophies. I've played every console Resident Evil game since the first and I have enjoyed them all.

Lost Planet was cool but I haven't got around to the sequel yet.

My interest in fighting games is casual at best, but I've had fun with Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Street Fighter 4. I don't understand the anger with the revised fighting games either. If you like the game enough, buy the new one. If you already have the game, can't you just buy the DLC and upgrade the plain version? If you think it's a rip-off just for some added characters can't you just not buy it?

I've beaten both of the Dead Rising games multiple times, and had a lot of fun with them.

Haven't gotten around to playing DMC4 yet. Part of me wishes they would release a remastered HD trilogy for the PS2 trilogy. Speaking of HD collections, I wish they would do Onimusha as well.

My only wish is that they would make a new Dino Crisis game. I really hope that the series doesn't die on a bad note with the 3rd game that was on Xbox.

I don't really care for Mega Man or the Ace Attorney games, so I'm indifferent to them being canceled. Sucks for fans of the series though.

No you didn't, but you can pretend you did to make yourself feel better.
And you do know they didn't just cancel Legends 3, they also cancelled Universe. 2 Mega Man games in a year. What is that ?
 
I'm just fine with Capcom. They've delivered some excellent games this gen, and I'm not usually one to pay for dlc so I was actually happy about the MvsC 3 Ultimate announcement. I can't wait to see how Firebrand and Pheonix Wright play.

I've been really happy with Ghost Trick and the Ace Atourneys and MM 9, 10 and Zero Collection completely satisfied my Mega Man craving. I liked RE5, I've yet to try a Lost Planet, and $9.99 still isn't cheap ass enough for me to give Dark Void a shot yet. I'd love to see a Monster Hunter or a new Dark Stalkers on the 360, but I'm not going to cry if it doesn't happen. There's too many good games out and comming soon to stress about the ones that won't.
 
I personally loved MM9 & 10. I was very pleased with the direction they took in those games and consider myself a content MM fan till Capcom decides to dust off the ol' Blue Bomber again. Losing MML3 sucks but I'm not a huge fan of the legends franchise anyways. I wouldn't be surprised if most the people pissed about the cancelation of MML3 haven't even played and beaten the first two.

I've enjoyed a variety of Capcom games this gen (RE5, Bionic Commando, BC Rearmed, SFIV, Lost Planet 2, DMC 4, MVC3) Not all were home runs but I'd be lying if I said I didn't at least have fun.

SFIV had it's run, and I will not be buying AE or any other subsequent DLC. I think it's too little for too much money. That move also made me question weather I should get UMVC3 or just wait for another AE of that too. With that being said there are worse money milking DLC out there. I'm looking at you Katamari....
 
Like some others, I'm pretty split on Capcom. Yeah, they release small updates to their fighting games on a pretty regular basis. They've been doing that since Street Fighter II hit the SNES in 1992. SNK did a similar thing for years with the KOF games getting yearly revisions. The Guilty Gear/Blaz Blue guys do it too (why can't I remember the name...).

That said, I have thoroughly enjoyed the fighting games that they have put out and if you had told me in, I dunno, 2006 that around 2009, Capcom was going to reignite a fighting game renaissance with SF IV, I would've thought you a mad man. At the moment I sort of prefer MK to Street Fighter but there's no way in hell that MK9 would exist as anything worth playing without Capcom proving that fighting games are still relevant.

Here's the beef though. The cancellation of MML3 was unfortunate. I don't have a 3DS but unless it gets uncancelled, I'll have less of a reason to get one (although the price drop + 20 games is probably too good for me to pass up). The DRM situation is much more dire. I can't play Final Fight/Magic Sword on PS3 without being connected to the internet so fuck me if I go visit my parents house and decide I want to mash fools with Haggar. The no overwriting save files in RE:Mercenaries is a joke. Taking features away is never, ever okay. Finally RE5 was by no means terrible but there's no way it lives up to the pedigree of the rest of the series. I appreciate that 4 was a departure but damn was it ever well done. 5 was as much an exercise in defending your mostly-retarded AI partner as it was a shooty survival horror game.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to 3S Online but I'll pass if they try to force some awful DRM down our throats again, I already have it on PS2, I can always just play that if I really need my fix.

Doubt it. Namco/Bandai are worse than Capcom when it comes to DLC. Look torwards Katamari, Tales of Vesperia, DWG3, for some good examples.
