Still love Capcom in-general (this has been their most hit-or-MISS gen though), but it really feels like higher-level Minesweeper for fans. The chances of running into bombs are 1 in 2 fucking many.
This being a reactionary thread to BoF6, the pain is felt from someone who's not even a fan or player. Lots of sympathy to those who are.

I figured this out 6 years ago.
Konami is much more awful than Capcom. I'm sorry. Capcom does really great things, and really shitty things. I'll take the great shit, and acknowledge the terrible shit.
Konami has just done really, really, really awful things.
DmC, Asura's Wrath, Remember Me, Dragon's Dogma, Keeping SF4 alive, Lost Planet 2, Ducktales HD, Strider are all great things in my book. I just can't, for the life of me, lie and say I'm /upset/ about Megaman because I'm not attached to that brand as much as I am to, say, SF (and SF isn't even my favorite Capcom game.)
I think you're overreacting, as do many people who panic when Capcom revives a brand on a PC/Tablet/Smartphone. (that ultimately turns out to be poop on a doop)
REMINDER! That Capcom Japan is doing all of this stupid shit because those games are successful in Japan. If you seriously think this is coming stateside and is marketed towards you, well... :I

Meh.
They can take the piss for 20 straight years, but the minute they release a game I actually want to play, I'll be there for 'em.
Having said that, it has been an awful long time since I bought one of their games, though it's not out of boycott or something dumb like that.

Yeah, it's going to take a lot from Capcom to win back any goodwill for me. The DmC fiasco alone earned my ire, regardless of game quality. It should never have been in the first place.
Congrats. You're the tiny market that Capcom is trying to appeal to, and the reason why they're bleeding money.
Just picked this up for $2.50 on the steam sale, it's really great. Must use Hamachi to play it online now.
This is what killed Square Enix as well. In the past, management was made up of designers, programmers, etc. Nowadays, management is comprised of bankers, ex-bankers, money men, people that don't care AT ALL about games.
That would be *SUCH* a smart move. The cost of developing the game would be worth it from a marketing/PR perspective. My god Capcom is anti-money.

"haters" is one of the most juvenile expressions I've ever seen.
Ouch. But it's the truth.

It feels as though I have been kicked in the balls =/
Resident Evil is still great (RE6, not Revelations). DR2 was really good. I have pretty high expectations for DR3. DmC is a good. Looking forward to Ace Attorney, Ultra, and Monster Hunter 4. The Capcom Arcade Cabinet is a great compilation.
Can't really complain about where they're at right now.

Nobody would buy Dino Crisis, Breath of Fire, Megaman Legends... and most definitely not fucking Zack and Wiki. A discussion about Capcom's hits and misses in light of the mobile games announcement is legit, but condemning a big publisher like Capcom for not wasting money and time on games that obviously would do nothing for them is silly.
Breath of Fire on consoles would require a budget. And it would not sell enough to make a profit, regardless.

I was just made aware of that Onimusha soul game, I feel like a Mega Man fan
This gif just sent me down a rabbit hole of watching The Rock sell Stone Cold Stunners and then just watching Stone Cold Stunner compilations. Thank you.
, hi to all !!!Why bother? He already won with that statement alone.

Capcom has been a real shit sandwich this gen. RE6 solidified that one. Fucking TERRRRRRIBLE.
But......... I just can't bring myself to hate DmC. Sorry GAF. I'm so sorry. The game was pretty fucking good.

In some contexts, I don't get the "good will" thing towards game companies. Example:
Capcom has screwed up a lot in the last five years, y/n: Yes.
If Capcom makes another game like Dragon's Dogma will I be there day one, y/n: You bet your ass.
I could understand if Capcom was say, an online service provider that refused to fix problems that plague users every day, or was running an MMORPG that they wouldn't patch and people no longer believed their lies.
I also don't get this talk that Capcom is trying to "burn bridges" with the Street Fighter community. Is that about the update to SFIV? The update the community wants because they're still playing the game religiously?

Ah yeah, EX Troopers! Forgot about that one, it was a solid game. Don't really care about the localization status since a) I'd never play it on 3DS and b) I'm more concerned with Capcom the developer, here.
The upcoming PS3 physical Mystara collection is pretty awesome-looking, too.

Won't be long before they start carrying out hits on our loved ones. Might as well kill everything we loved.
Ironically I feel like Capcom and Sega switched places this gen. All the love I had for Capcom transferred over to Sega.

I honestly think they handled Street Fighter IV pretty well this gen. Super was a bit of a misstep because there should have been an DLC option, but it did come out in a reasonable timeframe at least. AE sucked on release, but they patched it for free and it was a reasonable price. Ultra looks like a solid last hurrah, and you can upgrade from Super or AE. The support for this game has been great, I don't really think it's been too much.
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 on the other hand? They fucked up. No excuse to not have Ultimate as a DLC option, and it came out only 9 months later. Ultimate turned out to be a solid update, but it still left a lot to be desired.
Whatever contract they had with Marvel was truly botched, because this game hasn't seen any other support since then regardless of the clear demand. They jumped right into gear to patch the alt costume exploit though, good job.
You don't have to hate DmC, I reckon it's a fun action game. You just have to hate the rationale for it to exist, the amount of money spent on it, the amount of time and effort they went through to make the fanbase look like idiot crybabies who want white hair, and the effort that people from the DMC 4 team put into teaching a dev basic game design, such as why you don't just add cool blades on enemy's elbows for no reason, or why animation needs to be logical.

The Rock was born to sell stunners.
Capcom is giving us the AA game, albeit digitally. I can't hate them too much, yet.

Capcom was only worthwhile when they had Production House 4 (now Platinum).

DB6 is a mobile game? HAHAHA FUCK YOU VERY MUCH CAPCOM.
As long as Capcom continues to make legit Sengoku BASARA games, they'll always have at least one means of getting money from me. SB4 will be mine as soon as it comes out (of course, JP only, because they ruined whatever Western prospects the brand could have had).
But it's pretty sad that what used to be a company that had reliable means of getting a good 25% of my cash, and dominated so much of my gaming collection, has fallen so far. 10 years ago, I would have never imagined that the likes of Bamco and Atlus would have been far more relevant to my continued gaming interests than Capcom is now.

Did you like any of their games last generation? Which ones?
