How come Capcom can get away with what they do?

Think about it.

They've been repackaging Street Fighter 2/2Turbo for well over 13 years. Best, Xbox360/Ps3. Worst , 1st edition PC and GBA.

They've manage to mangle one of their best selling series (Resident Evil) to the point that it's just pulling out garbage, burning it to a disc and selling it for 60 dollars.

They've quite literally managed to milk a dead horse (Megaman 9) for every (DLC Hard Mode) last (DLC Challenge Mode) Drop (DLC Protoman).

It's gotten so bad that one of the things the company is now known for is their inability to produce games with canon storylines. ( Resident Evil , Devil May Cry 2)

They've abandoned most of their promising franchises. Power Stone, Gigawing, Plasma Blade, Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, Megaman Legends etc ;Leaving their characters as simple cameos to other games.

I appreciate your OPINION on Resident Evil 5, but others will disagree. While it's not the best in the series, it's still an awesome game.

I'll never forgive Capcom for what they did with Breath of Fire V.

Survivial Role-playing...I wish the designer terrible things.

They're not terrible. They've pumped out some awesome titles this gen ( Dead Rising, RE5, SF4, DMC4). Although, I really hate how they milk their fanbase.

I think you're upset with them because you ,being a sheep, miss out on these awesome Capcom games and instead get downgrades and crappy remakes (DR: CTYD, RE rail shooters etc.)

was going to reply with a few points but then read your sig... not worth waisting time...

but you do have the right to express your personal opinion on Capcomthough the majority of gamers(incl myself) will most probably disagree..

No i think Capcom is one of the best performers this gen. While not as innovative, but the sheer quantity of good games gives them props Street FIghter 4 Resident Evil 5 Dead Rising Lost Planet Zack and Wikki Devil May Cry 4 and now they got Bionic Commando and Dark VOid coming, could be another pair of fine additions.

They say Awesome - You say Nintendo - I say WhenPicklezFly

They say Innovation - You say Wii - I say last gen with a remote which currently has a lack of quality titles not involving a plumber

They say Retro - You say Gamecube - Im guessing you where born in 96.............. Gamecube is not retro kid

They say Xbox 360 - You say Fail - I say this reminds me of one of those emo charts my sister makes :|

They say PS3 - You say Epic Fail - I say spaghetti :P

The games I've tried from them felt a bit overrated, they just feel so antiquated somehow, then again I never was a fan of that type of games to begin with, so I'm sure it's all good for the fans.

Capcom has been seeing great profits this past year and is one of the most successful companies in gaming these days.

So when you ask how they can get away with it? Clearly they get away with it because people are giving them tons of money. So they keep doing what they see is working.

well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but personally, i think SF4 and RE5 were fantastic additions to their respective franchises.

of their most promising new franchises down the pooper (power stone, darkstalkers), but they also bring up new ones like lost planet or dmc every now and then so you win some, you lose some.

otherwise, pretty much everything in this post was hilariously silly. then i noticed you consider the gamecube retro and much was explained.

They've made a lot of good games this gen - though I have to say I'm not a fan of Dead Rising (liked it initially) and I'm not a fan of RE5, because after using the Wiimote for RE4, anything else feels clumsy and useless.

Though I thoroughly enjoy Street Figher IV, Zack and Wiki, Umbrella Chronicles, Lost Planet, etc.

I must disagree, why? on account of the whole megaman series, and while Megaman 9 went overboard with DLC thats no reason to condem such an awsome series of games

They're forgiven because they actually do come out with new and awesome SF and RE games once in awhile... unlike the teams behind Sonic, Tomb Raider, WWE Smackdown, Spyro and :insert random EA-sports titles here:.

They've been repackaging Street Fighter 2/2Turbo for well over 13 years. Best, Xbox360/Ps3. Worst , 1st edition PC and GBA.

How's that a bad thing? A lof of people consider it the best fighter ever.

They've manage to mangle one of their best selling series (Resident Evil) to the point that it's just pulling out garbage, burning it to a disc and selling it for 60 dollars.

RE5 was excellent. Sales and critics agree.

They've quite literally managed to milk a dead horse (Megaman 9) for every (DLC Hard Mode) last (DLC Challenge Mode) Drop (DLC Protoman).

Don't get them. Without the DLC the game is still great.

It's gotten so bad that one of the things the company is now known for is their inability to produce games with canon storylines. ( Resident Evil , Devil May Cry 2)

True. Capcom has a porblem with storylines. But the games are still great, so that problem is compensated.

They've abandoned most of their promising franchises. Power Stone, Gigawing, Plasma Blade, Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, Megaman Legends etc ;Leaving their characters as simple cameos to other games.

Most of them weren't that good in the first place or the fanbase was not enough to justify their development over other big games and new IPs.

Personally, Capcom is my second favorite dev this gen. They are doing an awesome job.

God I love Power Stone.

I would sell a baby down a river for a copy of Power Stone 3.

It was the SSB Killer that never Killed.

I don't understand why they wont make a Part 3. Anyone that remembers my thread from not too long ago knows how much I love that game. I rebought it for $90 on eBay. There weren't that many, but it's a great game and a great collectors item.

Capcom is trash today, I think RE5 is garbage, I'm not too fond of Street Fighter (but then again, that's because I'm not a fan of the genre), and I've never played Megaman.

But Power Stone 2 is a gem, and by that game, Capcom will always hold a place in my heart.

The thing that really upsets me about Capcom is their DLC policy. They are charging too much money for stupid things that should be included in the games to begin with: SF4 alternative costumes, R5's VS mode, etc.

Capcom is great IMO. They created a lot of good games, and their upcoming lineup looks very impressive. I so can't wait for Dark Void and Spyborgs.

i don't think they are that bad. i just think that their content is horrible, selling alternative costumes and resident evil 5 multiplayer. that should have been on the disc already or made it a update.

Umm Capcom is still one of the best Devs/publishers in the business.

The only Devs that are losing their touch are Blizzard,Ubisoft and SE (hopefully FFXIII brings back my love for SE)

While inconsistant, they are still one of the premier publishers out there. I haven enjoyed their games more than Sega, Square or even Nintendo this gen. So whatever.

Funny, after having played a couple of really fantastic games by Capcom lately (Lost Planet and Resident Evil 5) I've been thinking the exact opposite about this company. Maybe it's just me but some of the stuff I've seen from them ranks really high on my favorite games list.

I love the way you ignore Capcom's successful new IPs like Dead Rising and Lost Planet simply because it suits your argument.

It really serves to highlight the fact that you don't give a rat's ass about the facts; you're just here to spout the same old anti-Capcom bull **** I've been hearing for years.

I remember right before REmake came out, there were many people claiming that Capcom was dead, and that they were just milking Resident Evil, yadadayayada, the game releases, and hey, what do you know? It's one of the best games ever created.

That's always been the story: people continue the bashing, and Capcom continues to produce excellent games on a consistent basis, as they always have.
