FraserHFC Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Capcom are fucking awful. Think of me as a ghost, of point and click games gone by. The 1990s was our glory year - the 2000s nearly destroyed us. Alas, we are back, and this time, in numbers stronger than ever. Broken Sword 5; Broken Age; Game of Thrones (TellTale). We shall not fall. I am raising awareness of this once proud genre so people start buying them again. It's my favourite type of game so I feel like I should. Had no idea that was in development. I'm ridiculously excited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting to receive it in the post! I was also basing my list in terms of sales, all of those franchises have sold millions of units and have done rather well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewbo Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Fair play. RE4 is superb tbf though. DIdnt realise Onimusha was a big seller right enough, maybe bigger in the States and Japan than over here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've heard RE4 is even better than Broken Sword 5 I think the Onimusha series sold over 8 million units, unsure of the breakdown in terms of continent sales though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islay Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Wiiit! 8 million!?! Jesus! Aye just doing a bit of research and the figure seems to be around 7.8 million making it Capcom's sixth biggest games franchise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly compelling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I agree with Edgarus. Resident Evil 4 was superb, but I haven't liked anything else Capcom has done. Dino Crisis looks interesting, but the thought of playing the PC port of that from 1998 genuinely gives me the shivers. Can only speculate how horrendous it would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Resident Evil franchise is dead, a shadow of its former self. Dino Crisis died years ago. Do they even still make Mega Man games? Devil May Cry needs a good game using proper Dante again or its finished. The Onimusha games aren't a particularly noteworthy franchise. Would have done better mentioning Street Fighter, which is basically the only Capcom franchise left that isn't on deaths door. The capcom of 15 years ago vs the capcom of today? Just no comparison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't giving a summary of recent Capcom success with that list btw, I would have thought that was obvious. It was an encapsulation of their overall success as a company. Can't argue with sales of the Onimusha series even if you don't find it compelling, quite a few people clearly did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Aye, I don't like the Ominusha games but I still bought a couple when I was wee. Obviously had good marketing or something! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo_dee Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 So, gents, Dragon age: Origins - Ultimate Edition is currently at 75% off. Worth a fiver? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Definitely. Can't be arsed writing a review of it, but it's a solid RPG from BioWare and definitely worth it at that price! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo_dee Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It will be getting bought then, cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we weren't talking about the company overall, we were talking now. I thought that was obvious. They are a joke of a company these days. They make stupid choices and ruined their best franchises 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
