I liked RE2 remake and 7. There is a whole new regime over there that does look like they'd be willing to kick the guy who hates DMC off DMC and put Kamiya on, if only to get attention. But going to Microsoft seems more likely.
Capcom is ok by industry standards, because pretty much all other jap companies of the same are have either died or turned into a parody of themselves (i.e. Konami). But it's a stretch to say pozzed shit like SF6/completely soulless RE4 remake represents anything resembling their heyday.
Okami deserves no love, one of the most monotonous and long winded games I've ever played. People can suck that artstyle how much ever they want, but the game's a massive chore.
And still they are the best Platinum made.
I couldn't get into vanquish, might give it another spin.
He was also the director and writer on Devil May Cry (2001), which spawned the “character action” genre. Not a fan of his post Devil May Cry output, though.
Babylon's Fall likely won't be their last attempt at GaaS.
The blocking system makes it impossible to play as a button master.
I never even played the DLC, so I don't know what you're implying. And yes it is a button masher, there are barely any combos, the moves you use don't matter (in fact you don't even have a choice, you just spam the 2 attack buttons), the few extra weapons that exist are worthless and play the same as the base ones, and most of the gameplay revolves around reaching an area and one shotting every enemy with the "nothin' personnel kid" blade mode.
That you played on easy.
I thought it was difficult and got brickwalled several times.
It's true I would never play a game like that divorced of its style, but the same would also be true of Devil May Cry and Bayonetta.
