capcom makes monster hunter, which is still good somehow

they are holding a lot of great franchises hostage though and their aversion to PC ports is really frustrating. could you imagine how much MvC3 ultimate would sell if they just put it up on steam?

You're still wandering around doing pointless quests and ignoring the plot, but those quests are more fun to do.

it was basically skyrim but instead of bad fps combat it had fun and exciting 3rd person action combat that dragon age: inquisition tried to imitate and failed. however, unlike skyrim, the npcs in your escort quests could die. BUT!!! you could climb on monsters and throw them + your allies off cliffs which was arguably the best feature.

Yes, it's really good and you should play it. You should also listen to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE2bPCGmDdk

It was the menu theme of the original version and pretty much nails the tone of the game (which is "gently caress yes I am climbing on a cyclops and stabbing it in the eye until it falls off a cliff this rules")

Dragon's Dogma was originally made because Capcom thought that America and Europe hated Monster Hunter. This was why we did not get the entirety of the 3rd generation games. They made Dragon's Dogma as a series that would be the western equivalent to MH.

But now it turns out America did in fact like Monster Hunter, which sent Capcom's higher ups into a tizzy because IT DOES NOT COMPUTE!!! so now they made DD an MMO. Because America can't have two series at once.

Supposedly Capcom does not wish to cater to the west like Atlus and Square. There's a fuckton of old fogey types that still want the company to be primarily Japanese focused and also have a big presence in the arcades which was where Capcom made it's name. So it's guessed that anything that may counter the traditional stance they've always had would be denied(i.e. making the game release resources between the west and japan branches be 50/50)

Mind you after Lost Planet 3 getting intentionally crippled by development, they made an anime spin-off that they never brought to America despite Lost Planet being originally geared toward westerners.

Supposedly they cut funding or whatever overnight and had it go into other projects like Resident Evil Sequels, but none of those panned out exactly.
