I really liked the first game, but the demo for 2 was incredibly disappointing.
I can't say I'm surprised by this score.
more so than in the past, but I feel like they are about 50/50 RE5 wasnt great but it looks like dead rising 2 will be cool SFIV was lackluster, but tatsunoko vs capcom is good Lost planet apparently sucks but Monster Hunter Tri and devil may cry are goodIs it me or has Capcom been dropping the ball this gen

This is the 2nd LP, not the first. Stop trying to claim ownage.
Holy crap... Even a bigger flop than Alan Wake

Way worst than that, Alan Wake is still a great game.
First was pretty poor, very very overrated. Bad shooting mechanics, silly characters, just not fun enough. Good graphics though for its time.
This one actually looks worse and it sounds like it's gone backwards in every area. Good on gamespot for telling it like it is.
Seems like they don't put enough time and effort into games directed toward Western audiences. SF4 and MH3 turned out great and those are predominantly aimed toward Japanese gamers. When it comes to games directed more toward the West they either fail hard or make a game that is fun to look at and not much more. Bionic Commando, Dark Void, etc. being part of the prior and RE5, Lost Planet, etc. being part of the later.Is it me or has Capcom been dropping the ball this gen

About the only games I enjoyed from them.

And Zack and Wiki was great, but with their really huge franchises, I think they've been doing a bit... poorly. Maybe I'm just bitter because I bought SF4 last year and now SSF4 just came out.Is it me or has Capcom been dropping the ball this gen

Not to mention TvC, SF4 and RE5 Gold Edition is quite fun offline co-op.

Is it really? I've been thinking of getting it for that exact reason.
Ironically, Capcom's "2s" are usually superior to the original. Mega Man 2, Resident Evil 2, Street Fighter 2, etc. But the horrible track record they are on lately, I'm not holding my breath for Dead Rising 2 to be any good.
you acting like the game scored a 1.0... 5.5 is almost close to 6.0 which is in some cases passable... I bet if this would of came out 39.99 like ssf, this probably would of scored better ..How the hell does Capcom go from being god tier, to bottom of the barrel. Unless of course you love street fighter.

Having enjoyed the first one, I was really looking forward to LP2. Just from looking at it, I would have nearly bet money that it would have been a tremendous improvement. Yet, everything I have been hearing about it makes it sound like it is just another beautiful disaster. I honestly had fun with the multiplayer demo, too. Oh well, I'll probably still look into it one day down the road on the cheap.
There goes another Killzone 2 killer :PAgentA-Mi6
this game is more like gears
kz2 doesnt even have co-op

I think Devil May Cry 4 is pretty lackluster compared to Bayonetta. On its own merits it's disappointing as well. It's just hugely uninspired IMO.
Yeah, I just watched the video review and the single player sounds like it is just completely broken and has horrible AI to boot. That of course is a deal breaker for me, as I was planning on enjoying the campaign alone before playing Co-Op and going online. Hell, it sounds like it even has it's fair share of problems while playing with your buds.
I always just go with what appeals to me, regardless of reviews. However, this just comes off as a review that simply cannot be ignored. Everything is laid out on the table and explained in detail. The game just sounds like an utter train wreck with a lot of flash. I doubt I'll ever pick it up after watching the video review. Another one bites the dust, I guess. Great review, Kevin.
