Where did you get this from?

I had a little difficulty reading this, but it sounds like Alvarez is a huge cock bag and everyone at MS feels the LoS series is awful. The only one who is proud of it is Alvarez because he's got an ego the size of Jupiter because of the financial success behind LoS1, and Konami apparently being very content with that.

I never believed it for a second. Konami doesn't like to invest money in anything Kojima doesn't have some kind of hand in, even if it's just a suggestion.

I'm surprised they haven't renamed the company "Kojima" at this point.

I don't understand what the big deal is from that. That could be any game development company. Lay offs after projects are especially common. Just sounds like typical office bureaucracy.

To be fair, IMO, there is nothing wrong with the Agreus section. It took me like 5 minutes.
Calling everyone who had problems with it (read: almost everyone) for not using its brain is gross.

Everything comes full circle

Your stereotypical fears of shady business practices and purposely pissing on the fans fully realized. Capcom is hands down the absolute worst of the bunch.

This post is probably sugarcoated with hyperbole, I apologize, I have some serious grudges against Capcom and how they do business and treat their IPs.

Its doing very well in user reviews on metacritic.
This is true, i saw the iga conspirators reviews falsely slamming the game and I made sure to rate it 10/10 and point out the bs of criticizing the steath (think it wen over people's heads) and rat things without aknowledging the fact that it is Traditional Vampire Lore from Bram Stroker's Dracula (but I doubt these people have read such a tome).

I'm not. It was obvious from the start it was just a marketing gimmick.

Calling everyone who had problems with it (read: almost everyone) for not using its brain is gross.

Yeah, it's uncalled for. But then again, what do you say to the guy who was stuck on it for 4 hours because he forgot his powers?

Where did you get this from?

Kind of lame that MercurySteam thinks that LoS sucks, because I sure like it.

BETTER HOPE THAT COX ISN'T BRINGING MERCURYSTEAM ONTO HIS CONTRA PROJECT, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL THE TALENT IS LEAVING.

Guest numbers skyrocketed.

KingShango disturbed the hornet's nest.

Oh dear.

I would just can the idea altogether or use whatever they have now and make it a new IP.

i dont mind Dracula turning into several rats for a few segments, but i wish they also gave him the ability to transform into a giant vicious wolf so we can at least maul those cyber-guards to death as opposed to crawling past their feet


@all the guests



hiiiiiii

its a love/hate relationship with Capcom. cuz despite all their stupid decisions, they are still responsible for hundreds of iconic characters & series that we literally grew up with. if Capcom ever goes bankrupt, it will no doubt be devastating cuz they were such an awesome company and to see them reduced to this is just a terrible shame
