Funnily enough, I find it the exact opposite. We've gotten good, refreshing stuff this year, quite alot of new stuff, and on the FPS table, we've got two FPSes from EA that seem to fit both the best standards: One that's got amazing graphics and features huge realistic fighting against gigantic mechs and stuff like buildings toppling... and one that's completely about over the top action and fun gore, curse words and colorful stuff happening all around. I think we've gotten some pretty DAMN GOOD stuff so far, along with the typical war games that get better and better this year. Face it, if Lost Planet wasn't being made by Capcom, you'd say it was generic all the same. =P
Anyway, isn't this a friggin' MEGAMAN board? I thought you people were used to constant sequels that didn't change a thing. =P Allow us western game lovers our own guilty pleasures.
I guess it gives a whole new generation a chance to try it.
...but I think it's gonna be radically aged nowadays, just like Perfect Dark was when it was ported to the 360.
LOL. First and foremost, I didn't even know Lost Planet was Capcom made when I first played it. My friend got it through Gamefly, I played it and knew immediately it was something different than the usual deal. I was hooked and happened to find out it's a Capcom game somewhere along the road.
Also, I'm not that big of a fan of Capcom OR Megaman (In General). I am very specific about both. I'm also one of the bigger critics towards Megaman and its community... so those statements don't apply to me.
I only have love for the EXE and Legends series, I only like the X and Classic series to a degree. Classic series only has two games I truly like (2 and 6) and the X series only liking X 4, 8 and Command Missions... all of which feel different from each other by my opinion. Also, I love Axl. Everyone else hates Axl.
Let us get to the meat of the discussion though, now that we know a bit more about me. Graphics whoring has never been my thing (I say that with respect actually, as I consider myself a RPG whore). Over the top action I prefer to get my fix from Zone of the Enders... and yeah, I know. Weeaboo. Well, yeah, that's me. I hear enough cursing from dipshit teenagers who wear their pants down to their knees, so a bunch of cursing doesn't do it for me either. Though, you mentioned Mechs. I love mechs. I don't doubt that these FPSes have some good stuff in it, but it's just not me, ya know? I'm waiting to see what Nintendo has and... god forbid, Sony. Though honestly, I expected more RPG work from Microsoft than Sony... that said though, RPGs just aren't the centerfold of the picture anymore... it's all about you guys now. The new "Hardcore Gamers" of this era.
