Capcom first-half FY 2010 finds sales up, profits down

@Alexisonfire Agreed. I don't care what anyone says, Capcom's been making some amazing games lately.
LP2, MHTri, and Sengoku Basara 3 were all fantastic games, no matter how much people want to delude themselves.


It's like today's gamers automatically think originality = bad.

If they make LP3, all they have to do to make it sell well is make it first person, (we don't want to see our characters! Silly goose!)
get rid of the detailed animations, (who needs good animation when you can run at 30 mph!?)
get rid of machine gun stun, (because we all know games are more fun when you can just run around getting filled with bullets that don't affect anything other than your health, to hell with strategy!)
get rid of the awesome customization, (nobody seems to realize how much of it there is anyways,)
and while they're at it, replace monsters and E.D.N. III factions with terrorists, and make it all take place during a war instead of a sci-fi setting, (because then people won't complain about a story, since it'll be so realistic! Derp!)
Oh, and last but not least, today's gamers have very very small minds and are unable to learn new controls, so just copy those from another shooter too.
Might want to throw in some homophobic marketing too, just to be safe.

And there you have it; how to turn an original and unique shooter into a shooter that today's gamers will blindly buy. On top of that it'll get 9/10's all over review sites too!

TBH, I was overlooking Lost Planet 2 when I said Capcom had a good year.

I respect Lost Planet 2 for its originality. I hate it for being a bad game.

@Alexisonfire
I wish there was a special "keyboard for people with common sense" with a "it's not bad just because you don't like it" key on it.

Seriously, when are the current generation of gamers going to grow up?
I know you can't ALL be 12 year olds, though most of you seem quite determined to sound like one.

@ToastyToasy

I would never describe myself as a current gen gamer. I'm too stuck in previous generations, especially the PS2 era, to be bothered with most games nowadays. Which is why I gravitate to the DS, the PSP, and various indie games.

Also, what twelve year old do you know that knows anything about respect?

Really, I would like to meet them. They seem like a promising member of society.

@thisredengine

Oh the irony.

@PoisonedAl

It would have been had you replied to my first post.

Replying to my second post makes your comment nonsensical.

@Lenticular

Have a 1up. You earned it.
