CAPCOM SUCKS thread

[Robby]

Not gonna happen. They haven't done a Breath of Fire game in HOW long? Its been 11 years since BoF4 on the PLAYSTATION.... And Dragon Quarter which came a short time after that, was... not a Breath of Fire game.

Its also a dead franchise. Which sucks, because I really enjoyed it. Part 2 especially.

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

oh yah. As a mod I probably shouldn't be letting a thread with the title "FUCK" running around. I don't really care and neither do the sub mods that have already been here, and no one seems offended so far, and Capcom deserves it, but it IS an all ages board. And this thread might be around for a while.

SO.

Any other colorful euphemisms that can be used instead? We can make a game of it. Best insult/exclamation of hate gets to be thread title.

Capcom: How to destroy a fanbase

[TakinawaTonfa]

Pains me since, yes, I will be more than likely buying RE4HD.

Same here, but hey it comes from a time when they didn't completely piss off their talent (plus its one of my favorite games of all time), so maybe theres SOME hope left.

[Hiroy]

The current title. Everyone knows what profanity is.

[Crossword]

Capcom, congratulations on finally succeeding in burning every possible bridge you have.

Honestly, if no one complains, I'd say let it be.

Plus, they deserve it, and censoring it would just end up making the point far less blunt.

Something they do not deserve.

There's always **** or F*CK or the every colorful FUCKETY FUCK CAPCOM

alternatively EAT DICKS CAPCOM or EAT SHIT and DIE Capcom.

CRAPCOM is as CRAPCOM does.

True that, sad as it is.

BOF2 & 3 were great. BOF3 especially, the story & characterisation were superb. Rei is the best.

[Cyber-Robin]

I don't think I've played much of BoF 3 to really rate it. I did like 1, 2 and 4 tho. Although saying that. I tried to play 4 a few weeks back and found it really really hard to get into.

[Hiroy]

I liked BOF3 for how colorful the world was, but all the characters sorta lose thier developments in the timeskip. My favorite part about the game is how it would throw all these different gimmicks to make each adventure different. I liked BOF2 mianly for the awesome character design and the overall adventure. The secret ending gave me a warm feeling. BOF4 was... Well it had really good sprite-work and did a much better job at making the separate cultures and races in the world apparent. But I didn't like the story at all much. It was really slow paced and a tad bit boring most of the time.

And I'm one of those that actually liked Dragon Quarter. All those underlining qaulities that made a Breath of Fire game was there, but the whole survival dungeon crawl aspect kinda overshadowed them. I just wished the game focused a bit more on the setting, races and showed more about how the ranking system affected everyone living underground. That said, the ending for that game was beautiful to me... and normally BoF endings are awful.

[Crossword]

I still don't get why they're not localizing AAI 2. Isn't the AA series one of the more profitable DS games aside from the mainstream games.

The *claim* is that the first Investigations game sold poorly, even lower than Okamiden, but I've heard conflicting reports regarding this. Apparently there are some options being considered but it feels more like a token gesture than anything else. And honestly, from everything I've heard, most of the blame falls to Capcom for barely even making an effort to promote the game in the first place.

Now I feel like buying Ghost Trick out of spite, but money managing is an issue, and that would be sending mixed messages, wouldn't it?

[Cyber-Robin]

Ghost Trick is another one that was released to little hype. Although then again it did hold a chart position in Game for a few months till that and Golden Sun were reduced. I really need to go through it.

Investigations was so hyped the first time I saw it was in a £10 bargain bin in Morrisons. Although then again I don't recall any of the Ace Attorney getting much attention in the UK. All of mine were US imports.

Dragon Quarter would have been a fine BoF TACTICS game... if they had ALLOWED YOU TO SAVE.

It was a game designed around making you replay the game multiple times, (You literally could not get into a lot of areas until new game+) assumed you were going to die a lot, and it only gives you one save token every two or three hours after lengthy dungeon crawls. Really. WHAT THE HELL. Oh. And it punished you by killing you for using your powers at all. Or walking. Not even powered walking. Just. Walking. Or having a turn.

I liked the designs, story, and the world and even the gameplay... but god they had a couple massive gameplay oversight issues.

[RPGJay]

Despite how I feel about Investigations (especially the last case) and Ace Attorney as a whole I'm very surprised Investigations didn't sell well. Or is it a matter of the game selling decently but not enough that Capcom expected.

Yeah. I see the game more as an experimental spinoff more than anything. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it.

But you see. Here's this thing I figured out after I was already done with the game. It's the SOL system. Upon using a Save Point, you can go off into any dungeon, use as much of the broken overpowered dragon powers if you want(really), rank in alot of treasures and party EXP, place what you want inside a locker THEN literally reverse time(SOL Restore) to where you last saved with ALL your Party EXP and stuff in the locker intact(the Dragon Counter reverts back to how it was too). I just wished I knew how abusable the system was when I first owned the game...

Spoiler:

Who do you feel loses out? Rei & Garr's are the only ones that really need to go anywhere post timeskip, and they do. Momo gets some that I wasn't even expecting.

[Suicu]

I love the Breath of Fire series. And I love Dragons Quarter, even with it's stupid save system and dragon power. The overall tactical combat system, where you could make traps and blow monsters up was brilliant and fun. And they didn't give me a crappy ending like in BF3.

And then they shoved the franchise away.


Oh yeah, FUCK YOU CAPCOM

Spoiler:

Well, Rei sorta felt like a tag along until you encounter Teepo agian. It would have been nice if we learned a bit more about how he struggled living alone as a murderous Were Tiger. There was just so much potential for side events that would have made him atone for his sins.

Nina and Momo's old role disappeared completely. Before they seemed to have a decent enough friendship with Ryu. I was to a point where I was trying to figure out if there was any real motivation for them to tag along on Ryu's quest aside from saving the world and all that. Maybe I'm forgetting some important details. Or maybe Nina only tagged along because she's like a poster girl for the series. And Peco... Well, I don't mind him. He was mute with an unexpected purpose.

Garr I can agree with. He had a purpose to help Ryu forge the correct decisions after giving up his old duty. I liked him alot.
