Wow...seems like everybody jumped on Onimusha12 for his opinion pretty quickly...I think people need to give the guy a break...I mean, it is his opinion right? Doesn't anybody else want to shed their opinion without being jumped on for allegedly being a fanboy? Gotta give respect before earning respect, as they always say.
Anyways, after reading his posts, I get the feeling that Onimusha12 does have a point. Yes, he may be in my opinion a bit pessimistic, but he does have a point: when good talent and innovators like the directors of RE 2, RE 4, Viewtiful Joe, Okami and the DMC 1-3 leave, then its not hard to worry. Does that mean DMC 4 sucks and that RE 5 will also suck? Not necessarily.
Mind you, I haven't played DMC 4. I tried playing DMC 3 once and I found it boring, repetitive, and utterly boring. But that doesn't mean I don't deny that it isn't a good game. In fact, I believe what you all say that those games (minus DMC 2, of course) were all good. However, over the past few years, I have noticed that many people have stopped quoting it as a great franchise on the internet. When people played the first DMC game for the very first time, everybody called the game as legendary. Everybody. There was no denying it. Then DMC 2 came and that franchise almost looked like a goner. When DMC 3 came along, it was considered alright. Not as good as the first one, but at least it did not tank like the second one. When the fourth one was coming along, everybody was excited, just like when the first one came. The graphics was great, looked cool, everybody was excited....and then when it came, it came and gone. It seemed very few people were all that excited anymore about the game. It was the same reaction like towards the third DMC. And I think that is where the problem lies in.
Though these games that Capcom made this gen and the future games that will come out may be good, and may be fun, will they be like DMC 1? Or RE 4? This may be what Onimusha12 is worried about. And I am a little bit worried as well. Not so much as to not have any faith on Capcom anymore and to boycott their games forever. But I might just look at their games with more attention before buying them and do some more research before falling into the hype train. But remember, this is just my opinion, so I am fully open to disagreements from people. Yet at the same time I still would like to see nice responses from everybody. We're all friends, right?
