Thread 715399539

Capcom has rescinded the "Official" status of a Japanese Monster Hunter content creator.

As overall reviews for Wilds was maintained at Mixed since launch, and then with recent reviews having reached Overwhelmingly Negative, Karasuma A — an infamous Japanese "kusoge-hunter" — went through his routine of playing the game to then edit a humorous video that summarized the game and his thoughts, and in summary:
>"not a kusoge, however the now-global expectations were not met [...] a situation akin to Biohazard 6"
>lack of content perhaps due to a focus on expensive (though enjoyable) story cutscenes
>the wound system netting a high amount of damage and materials (also from quests) which can further damage the sense of volume
>"Arkveld Online" being the entirety of endgame with Artian stuff just being fractional improvements
>PC version not being postponed for those months of straight optimizations, in chasing (impressive) sales figures
Despite not seeming overly negative, in a highly unusual move, comments had been disabled on said video, prompting suspicion of potential pressure from Capcom after enacting their "Customer Harassment" policy.

Following this, a MH-focused content creator — Nabezou — was reprimanded and stripped of being an "Official Capcom Creator".
Seemingly, Nabezou had been making a few videos addressing Wilds' current situation previously, but it's now suspected that his appearance and collaboration on Karasuma's video is what prompted Capcom to rescind his "Officiality", and use of "Official" in titles, thumbnails and mirror streams.

>(though enjoyable) story cutscenes
lol

>>715399539 (OP)
Not surprised. Most Japanese game companies do this in the Asian market.

>>715400618
congalala and spider cutscenes were peak

>>715399539 (OP)
Watched Karasuma's video when he uploaded, he was extremely lenient on the game. Pretty sure comments were still enabled back then.

remember when we though capcom were going through their redemption arc?
what the fuck happened

>>715405216
There never was one. People were just being retarded and blind to capcom's blunders at the time.

>>715405216
capcom has always been shit as a publisher.

when people say "capcom is back" they mean resident evil and street fighter.

>>715405216
I never cared about Capcom outside of Monster Hunter. They killed the series with World so I never understood the whole redemption arc meme. It must have been entirely pushed by REfags and maybe DMCfags years ago.

>>715405216
Capcoms redemption arc was making okay decisions, not amazing, but passable

>>715399539 (OP)
Japan is dystopian
I will not be doing any game production in Japan I think

>>715401046
What other company has this official creator stuff?

>>715405216
Japan finally reaching their woke phase. Same shit's happening at Square

>>715399539 (OP)
>minor sad news
Just checked that guy has 1m subscribers and the video hit 1m views in 2 days.

>>715405938
>finally

>>715399539 (OP)
Japanese corps are usually used to getting their cocks slobbered by the unquestioning locals.
Even the slightest hint of pushback is alien to them, so they respond with disproportionate retribution.

>>715405216
just a bunch of fucking marks

>>715405216
They did "good" with a few titles for a few years with MH, DMC, and RE but underneath all that they were still the scummy crapcom we all have known since the 7th gen

>>715401046
These are the tactics every corporation uses nothing special about asia

>>715400618
What he actually said is there are too many walkie talkie and cutscenes and they ruin the game flow.

>>715405216
for Capcom to have that many "redemption" arcs, their fans are just beaten Stepford housewives getting their asses whopped and taking it because "he used to be a good guy before"

>>715406154
Well he is the most popular "kusoge hunter" on Nip Youtube after all. It's pretty funny when he plays Western kusoge that aren't well known in Japan and says stuff like "AVGN-senpai played this before".

>>715405216
>redemption arc
>after the dumpster fire that sf6 was
>after trying to sell re8 based on mommy milkers
>after uglifying jill in re3make
>after dragon's dogma 2
>after not doing anything with dmcv after releasing it
>after they killed mh rise because normies liked world more
>then they make world2 and people eat it up
what redemption arc

Japanese companies are run by EXTREMELY sensitive and borderline girly old men. Their feelings are more sensitive than that of a teenage girl on her period. These old faggots are quick to claim defamation even if you're being totally fair and just stating facts. This is part of the many reasons why Japan is not at the top of the video game world anymore and hasn't been for a long time. They're little bitches. You guys say western devs are pussies but they take way more abuse than the japanese ones by far and some of them actually tank all criticism and insults and end up fixing their fucking game and making a comeback while Japs don't. They insist their final shit product is perfect and fuck YOU the customer for expecting more.

Call me when Megaman stops being dead.

Capcom can suck my dick until they make Dragons Dogma 2

>>715407339
re2 fans were finally able to play it

>>715405216
What, like 5 or 6 years ago? We are currently at the bottom of the Capcom cycle.

>>715407401
It's because it Japanese culture to respect government and authority, and that includes big corporations, so the minute you criticize or blame them they get butt hurt because "mai honoraboru reputashion hasu been tarnished!"

>>715399539 (OP)
>literally taking down online criticism
how is it possible for jap companies to hold so much power?
what the fuck is wrong with japan?

>>715405216
All of the RE Engine games are shit, retards were just always delusional and coping and ignoring all the flaws to pretend everything was good.
All it did is show Capcom that they could keep making worse games and retards would still buy it
And this is the result of 10+ years of mass cult following

>>715407836
Technically all game companies can DMCA things about their games, no?

>>715408437
copyright has a massive, gigantic exception for "criticism, reviewing, and reporting." it's enshrined in the law and journalists and teachers routinely rely on said exception. any counterclaims would be reinstated asap
crapcom is invoking its "customer harassment" policy which is a whole different level fo fucked up

>>715408437
Yup, Nintendo is the most famous one for that.
Fair use laws mean nothing when you have fuck you money

>>715405216
First time?
No, really. This is what Capcom always does. They release something good, maybe follow it up with something good or great, then completely shit the bed.
If you're LUCKY they'll repeat the cycle.
If you're not, they decide you're nonviable and never release another game again.

>>715406183
You we're a naive retard if you didn't expect the kikes to ship woke over there

>>715407836

They didn't take anything down though, they just rescinded his status.

>>715405216
>remember when we though capcom were going through their redemption arc?
That was astroturfing anon, crapcom never left

>>715405216
Capcom hasn't been good since the early 2000s, why people said they ever recovered from their shit arc that started in the latter PS2 era are deluded.

>>715405938
trying to fearmonger with crapcom of all people is comical when they have been doing this shit since the ps2 era, you likely just never noticed until world due to only caring about MH

>>715405216
Capcom's success has largely been due to their IPs recognition strength and them stumbling onto the correct path.
Wow, the addictive portable action rpg series that everyone has been hearing about for years now is finally on consoles and PC? Guess I'll give it a shot.
This is why World was successful, not because of the cut-scenes or endemic life fluff, but because the many years of hype and talk finally had a place to pay off.

>>715405745
Fuck off fag, MH nepobaby killed other Capcom projects. It's the reasonDD2 was rushed, why RE3R sucks, and why Pragmata was delayed.

I WANTED to love Wilds, really, to the point where I actually unironically enjoyed focus mode, and while I think wounds are alright, though I agree they trivialise fights too much.
It really does just boil down to
Why the fuck is there so much story? I don't care about these people let me hunt
No home to customise and release critters into, never feel settled
Shitty level design, the open/connected/seamless world concept really fucked them over. Compare the plains to say the forest of World
Consequently, performance is shit. I don't exactly have top of the line gear (3080/Ryzen 9 5950X) but to be regularly hitting 40s WITH framegen is just inexcusable when World is a silky smooth 60-90fps
Artian farming is just shit, frankly.
Content is lacking, even for a modern MH title. The xpac will need to be above Iceborne to be able to pull this one back

>>715407405
Bro I've been calling since 2010, my throat's dry. They keep teasing with collections, mobile gacha garbage, and NFT-tier merch like it's a breadcrumb trail to a new game but it's all bait. Mega Man is officially in that Konami zone where they're perfectly fine milking nostalgia without committing to anything remotely new. Just give me Legends 3 or at least X9, I'm not even picky at this point.

>>715411647
>that Konami zone
you mean the dev that has been slowly outputting new stuff over the course of the switch 1's life while even creating new IPs in the process?

>>715405216
RE7, RE2 remake and DMC5 I guess?

That said, 2 remake was always a failure in my eyes since they decided to make it safe by going the RE4 route instead of the original REmake and DMC5 on hindsight should have never been made because of the fucking normies it introduced to the franchise.

Now dante is "supposed" to be this whacky wah-hoo pizza dude when he was sorta that but also had an air of coolness and gravitas surrounding him than whatever the fuck they were doing in 5. Not to mention how fucking ugly they made the characters look and the music, while nice, doesn't fit DMC at all.

Then everything went downhill after that. RE3 remake, dragon dogma 2, and MH wilds.

>>715413065
Oh, almost forgot that heresy that was RE4 remake. What a god awful remake that was. Thanks for proving that RE died with shinji mikami leaving capcom.

>>715405216
Capcom's "redemption arc" was literally just DMC5 and even then that game had the taint of modern Capcom.

>piss easy on every difficulty and it only actually gets hard on fucking Vergil on DMD
>no alternate costumes despite being a series staple - no, simple pallet swaps are not "costumes"
>EX taunts require an obscene amount of Red Orbs to entice you to buy them
>half assed co-op mode no one wanted instead of just letting you play every character in every mission

Modern Capcom is obsessed with making all their franchises casual friendly and geared more towards being "family friendly". All the non-stop censorship of past games, all the """""modern""""" re-designs of iconic designs that are bland. Then you have the shit with DD2 and Wilds. They are effectively killing any and all faith in their brand.

>>715405216
>we
you motherfucking retards never learn that you shouldn't worship companies
they are not your friends and never will be your friends

>DD2 was supposedly rushed because it was a test bed for MHWilds
>MHWilds is a shit show
Lol but honestly this fucking sucks man.

>>715405216
Greed, as always

>>715405936
pretty much every company does
that faggot vaati gets paid by fromsoft to make lore videos

>>715414015
after dmc5 i knew this was the inevitable road crapcom would go down
you didn't believe it, you likely mocked me back in the day lmfao

>>715414352
I mean publicly admitted connections.

>>715405216
They tried to to make a mass appeal monster hunter but forgot that monster hunter was and will always remains a niche game
They should make a small budget game instead of dumping millions on every games

>>715415950
it's even worse if they hide it retard

>>715411647
The worst part is that even if they do it’ll just be another fucking classic series game.

>>715399539 (OP)
Where is the video?

>>715416726
You mean worse because of insincerity towards audience.
It's worse for the company when they cut ties to publicly announced creators.

>>715399539 (OP)
>a situation akin to Biohazard 6
I'm glad this sentiment is getting around

>>715417409
why should i give a shit about that? i'm an audience, not a creator

>>715417452
the problem with the comparison is RE6 was the most fun installment in the series
wilds is just lame and hands everything to the player as if it can't wait for the audience to fuck off

>>715399539 (OP)
>Arkveld Online
Yeah pretty much

>>715417501
because then you can know who said thing corpo didn't want to hear

>>715417875
good thing they tell you which is their creator and don't hide it

>>715405656
yeah sure, when they port over the versus series and onimusha 2, develop a new onimusha, and a new okami? fuck off

>>715399539 (OP)
>sorry chuddie your review bomb didnt work

World killed the franchise

>>715405216
"crapcom" era gave us the monster hunter games

>>715418316
>WILDS BAD
>CLUTCHCLAW BEST
>MY RX 580 SHOULD PLAY IT JUST LIKE WORLD!
you are brown

>>715418235
world was the first monster hunter I ever played
world was the last monster hunter I ever played

A shareholder does not profit from you staying consistently good
A shareholder does not care if your franchise is well liked by a subset of niche manchildren
A shareholder does not care what your ambitions 10 years from now are
Shareholder needs you to make your product bigger and gayer fast so he can cash out and terrorize some other company

>>715411052
They redeemed themselves with RE4R though
*by they I mean RE team
