    1. I’m mad at them for the shallow mess of a game that was RE3 but overall I think Capcom earned our respect with RE7 and REmake2

        1. Calm down.
          Dmc5 by itself is great game and a solid pc port.

          Sure its sucks we are not getting the SE edition(or maybe we will later)
          But still,capcom does a better job than most japanese devs in how they treat the pc platform especially if you compare them to square-enix.

          So apart that hiccup they got a decent track record.

      1. Everything would be fine if they released RE3 as DLC for RE2. The initial asking price for RE3 was absurd.

        1. the quality of the game in terms of level design, graphics, and oh my god the animations, compared to RE2 was a huge step backwards. the new team was simply not up to the task

      1. Bah. I wouldn’t worry about it. You are doing fine. You can tell by the comments that some people are interested in your articles. The time to question whether your articles are boring is when no one posts comments because they just don’t care about what you are posting.

    1. Do you go to the theatres and Sh*t on the writers of the movie halfway through? Then why do you come on here to attack the writers? You don’t like the offerings then go to another site. Take me for example, I don’t like IGN, Political Correct Gamer or polygon, therefor i don’t visit those sites. Go find a hobby boy and stop attacking the writers on this site. I never understand people like you.

        1. Yes we know you do and I believe it to. You’re the exception brother. You are on some next level, so I’m not surprised. That’s just your profile and everything knows it ??
