ZFS 09/01/11 2:17:00 PM #56:	People hate on them a lot lately, but Capcom has been a standout Japanese third-party this gen. They've done well to adapt to the changes this gen brought on, and it's paid off in a big way for them compared to other Japanese publishers that have fallen off the map compared to last gen. I'm not sure they're going about these Western partnerships the right way (Ninja Theory and Slant Six aren't exactly going to make the next 90+ review score, 5+ million seller), but it's not a bad idea from their perspective. They're right about the growth not coming from Japan, and it'll probably be that way for a good while. It does kinda suck because it'll make them less likely to approve something like Okami, but I believe they've said all original IPs will still be developed by their internal teams, which is good news. -- Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. <cite>ZFS posted [p:268377] in transience...

ZFS 09/01/11 2:29:00 PM #62:	Capcom has been putting into practice all gen, I think. They had some early Western tieups for games like BCR, though some of those ended up bombing. I think they've done a pretty good job of getting the most out of their franchises -- Resident Evil and Street Fighter IV are 5+ million selling games worldwide, Monster Hunter has locked down Japan. Gotta work on those DLC practices, but the reason they keep doing that stuff is probably because it makes them easy money. 18 million map packs for COD how can you argue with that. -- Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. <cite>ZFS posted [p:268383] in transience...

I could probably think of a couple more that I liked, but I'm blanking on them right now. Crisis Core just didn't do it for me man. It had a few undeniably good moments but it just lost itself in a silly, silly plot. -- "There's coffee in that nebula." ~SCP~ http://img.imgcake.com/Jeffzeropngus.png <cite>Jeff Zero posted [p:268415] in transience...

Jeff Zero 09/01/11 3:13:00 PM #97:	From: KingButz \| #095 FFXII was a good game, I don't care what people say. Yeah, it definitely was. I still believe it fell off the deep end a bit though. I wish Daisuke Watanabe had the chance to put all the scenes he'd envisioned into the game. He's no Matsuno but at that point Matsuno was gone. It was up to him to get as much into the shell as possible in a short time period and he wound up with a lot on the cutting room floor. -- "There's coffee in that nebula." ~SCP~ http://img.imgcake.com/Jeffzeropngus.png <cite>Jeff Zero posted [p:268418] in transience...

LeonhartFour 09/01/11 3:13:00 PM #98:	FFXII was fine. It's just the weakest mainline game they've put out since they joined up with Sony. Well, there's X-2 if you want to count that as mainline, but I'd argue those are fairly close anyway! -- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"

ZFS 09/01/11 3:16:00 PM #100:	Yeah, it isn't perfect, but I really got into it. The first couple of weeks after it came out in Japan is when I got it and a PSP, good times. It hooked me in a way old Square games used to but newer ones haven't. FFXII was really good, too. That one isn't perfect either, but it's more enjoyable than FFX and FFX-2. -- Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. <cite>ZFS posted [p:268421] in transience...
