Cause they are using PS1 era tactics of keeping their games exclusive.

It's not about the exclusives.
Their management is stinking right now.
They are focusing hard on unnecessary stuff, and wanking off for nfts, blaming their studios for their fault, etc.

While Capcom here is focusing on gaming, and other platforms such as PC.

Excellent result, I still need to find time to propely get back into Sunbreak. Capcom is definitely one of the better third party publishers right now.

You need to hate gaming to want NFTs in your games. Which of course explains why CEOs and managers who never played a game in their lives with want NFTs in their games.

Do you know what the Crypto crowd say? They say that NFTs reward gamers for their time and effort by paying them back with cash. The fact that games are suppose to be fun and that you pay to enjoy yourselves, is entirely alien to them.

I tried playing a FTP game once. But then after a while the stress to turn the game on daily to win the daily rewards was too much for me and I realised it wasn't fun any more.

In a thread discussing Capcom's exclusive no less. You don't know what you're talking about.

Monster Hunter World was multi.

It increased franchise awareness.

On top, Capcom know why their games are good. SE on the other hand is making latest Final Fantasy like Devil May Cry.

Yeah so was Final Fantasy 15. The thread you are in though talking about Monster Hunter Rise's success is an exclusive.

Final Fantasy 15 is highest selling game in franchise. And it wasn't a particularly good game either, one that would help building the brand.

For next title they went exclusive again (FF7R) which suffered in sales department despite being good, one that should ve been the poster boy for franchise.

Monster Hunter on the other hand they made it multi platform, at the same time hit it out of the park.

Gonna do same thing with rise, it's coming to Gamepass. Gonna make it a huge ip world wide.

No they didn't. They went exclusive and hit it out of the park. So you agree FF not being as popular as Monster Hunter has nothing to do with being exclusive. Monster Hunter Rise was successful being exclusive.

He's talking about hitting it out of the park with World, not Rise. And then he follows up with Rise will be the next to hit it out of the park, because Gamepass. Agree or not that's just what he was trying to say.

I gathered that but he said FF15 was the highest selling game in the franchise then they went exclusive with the next one. Monster Hunter did the exact same thing.

Lmfao your posts are hilarious. You talk about Capcom not doing exclusives, well guess what? Rise/Sunbreak were exclusive.

You think that the game coming to game pass will make it a huge(lol lol lol) ip? Are you for real dawg. I bet it won’t even chart the top 20 a month after. Put phil’s pipe down son.

 

[Paltheos]

Sunbreak is pretty good. Rise is my first Monster Hunter game I really poured allot of time into, and I had a decent time playing with friends. From what just about all of them have told me though, World is better.

Gamepass is readymade success formula for Japanese developers. Free marketing, you get paid for it even.

Do the PS5/XSX versions already include Sunbreak?

Final Fantasy VII, the actual highest selling game in the franchise - and former exclusive - says hello.

No.

These numbers aren’t good for Sunbreak. These expansions are more like a whole new game rather than just DLC. 50% attach rate seems low.
