Well, look at you, Capcom! All in the black, with net profits up almost 300 percent (almost $16.9 million) from last year. Sales are also up about 56 percent. Projections were met.
What did the trick for the Japanese publisher this year? Digital, mobile and their online side did well, but they specifically called out Dragon's Dogma, which has now shipped 1 million copies. They admit that the RPG struggled out of the gate in the west, but in the end exceeded expectations at home, and that the situation has "set the stage" for Dragon's Dogma to become a series. This is the second time they've mentioned this, so it sounds like they're serious. Great news.
Capcom also says that Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City moved 450,000 units across the board. Woo.

Good, I love that game. Running around the woods to find a giant monster and spending half an hour killing it is so much fun.
Not being sarcastic, this game is really really good. Having the mage levitate spell is so damn funny.

Was that sarcasm?

Probably not, it's genuinely fun to kill stuff in this game.
Well, the big monsters anyway.
is this game out on PC? just curious they did say they "might" release for PC but was unlikely

Not yet. I don't think they've announced anything either.

Endgame is even more fun! :v:
[QUOTE=Kabstrac;37006466]Is it anything like Dark Souls?[/QUOTE]
It's like Dark Souls meets Monster Hunter.
Good. I beat this game twice and loved every minute of it.
Fighting chimeras, dragons, and griffins. Fun shit. The RPG mechanics are pretty in-depth too.
Eh for those who havent seen any gameplay on dragons dogma here is a good video

It looks really fun, I really wanted to play it but its not out on PC it seems like :(
Oh shit, I remember that trailer with the gryphon for this a while back, this needs to hurry up and get on PC damnit!
This game was a really unexpected gem.
I stopped playing Dragon's Dogma a few weeks ago. I should probably pick it up again, was really fun for the time I played it.
Stopped playing Dragon's Dogma because it ran like absolute shit. I was lucky to get 25 fps when nothing was going on.

The low FPS can get annoying pretty damn quickly.
console only games that look like fun
:( a minute of silence pls
Why, just fucking why its not on a PC?
GAMES LIKE THIS ARE MEANT TO BE ON PC /rant
take a note game companies if a game is good it will sell more.
Now let's hope that Capcom don't refuse to localize future Dragon's Dogma games. They seem to have a habit doing that.
So how about you make those profits higher and make Dragon's Dogma a PC series too?
Now if they release it for the PC...

Dammit Ed!
I played it for 2 weeks or so and then I picked up Dark Souls again. Got boring very fast.
Climbing enemies is an awesome feature, not quite sure why, but monkeying around on a monsters head then stabbing it in the eye is satisfying
i just want monster hunter capcom
So glad I grabbed this the day it came out

Perhaps they'll finally decide they want to release Megaman Legends 3?
Nah, it's too profitable to launch 8 different versions of each fighting game.
