Capcom's Comeback
Another long form editorial from your ol' pal Jim Sterling. I wrote about Capcom's recent renaissance, a comeback in terms of creativity, commercial success, and critical acclaim.
It's nice to say nice things for a change!

Holy crap.... video games I might want to play?! That hasn't happened since the early 90's! And Jim Sterling is HAPPY and saying GOOD THINGS?! It's either the apocalypse or some game company bigwigs have realized the obvious!.... I'm betting on the apocalypse, it's more likely, but one can hope right?
I loved the article, it's genuinely heartwarming to see that Capcom can publish these amazing single-player games in this modern day and age. Where the Western publishers are driven only by their immediate profits, the East seems to take a different approach. Sony, Capcom, From Software... in the recent years it has been mostly these publishers/developers whose work I've learnt to love and appreciate. PS: I have literally wept out of joy during the opening cutscene of the first mission of DmC 5. This game is just pure joy for to see, hear and play.
I remember thinking "Monster Hunter coming to PC? Awesome!" Then thinking "ah, but they'll probably fuck it up with lootboxes" and then being really happy when they didn't.
If I had one bit of criticism, it'd be that next to your name there is a crown.... I think a title belt would be better.
You are doing a positive video? Hmmm... I know I say all the time that's what I want you to do but now that you are actually doing it I probably shouldn't watch.
What? No love for Mega Man 11?
I'm glad to see you're writing again Jim. <3
"Fast forward to January of 2018, and Resident Evil 2 is" might need to change that Jim :P
