Yeah of course, story/humor and great characters is also what made DR1 stand out. It had a perfect blend of comedy and desperation. I just thought that the lacking in challenge and meaning was the biggest issue with DR3 and 4.
Eh. The new Resident Evil was spectacular. Monster Hunter 4 was spectacular. Dragon's Dogma (I guess this is a bit too old to use as an example) was spectacular. Capcom still has it.
RE7 (though I didn't like it) is about the only title there I'd give you. Though with that title you still have to factor in the fanbase that got shafted by it. Monster Hunter has always been consistent quality. But its niche appeal in the west is going to prevent a lot of people from enjoying it to even playing it. I'd agree that DD is too old count.
I don't think anyone is saying capcom can't make good games anymore. But they definitey are missing the diversity in quality of offering something to everyone like they had years prior. We'll see if getting RE engine and these upcoming titles change that tune.
