Capcom is the best third-party company

[Kaz]

IT IS A FACT.

Or maybe you don't think so. In which case, you better have a good reason, because most third parties have sucked and we all know this. Konami only made a handful of great games, Rare now only makes poop, etc.

Don't say Sega because they were only awesome when they were making their own stuff for their own consoles.

But anyway, discuss Capcom. Personally, I love the company mostly for Mega Man and Street Fighter, but we also need to keep in mind that without Capcom, the amazing Oracle of Seasons/Ages games wouldn't exist.

Oracle games owned, Mega Man was fun until they hit 7-8, Street Fighter is still good (But there are too many versions of the same game!), Phoenix Wright is hilarious and fun, and Minish Cap was fun. (But innacurate.)

Sega reigned with the Genesis, but after the Saturn failure, their games SUCK.

Rare is still around!?

Konami doesn't make that many great games, but they're still good...well, some of them.

So you're right; it is a fact. But nowadays their Mega Man games aren't doing that well.

What about Marvel? :)

Marvel vs. Capcom 2, X-men legends 1 & 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, etc.

Megaman was good until the Megaman Legends series. Street Fighter is still good, but they're doing too many remakes of the same games (like MasterYoungLink said). Viewtiful Joe...the games are good, but the Anime sucks. Resident Evil is awesome. I haven't played Phoenix Wright or Zack & Wiki yet.

Rareware is OK, Conker: Live and Reloaded wasn't a very bad remake, and Viva Pinata was quite fun. Other than that, Rareware has just been sucking lately.

Sega still makes some good games every now and then (like Sonic Rush, Shining Force Neo, and Sega Superstar Tennis), but I think Sega was the best during the Genesis, Master System, and Dreamcast days.

Konami just ruined Frogger now by turning him into an adventurer so that kids will like him. Frogger was great during the old Arcade game and the early 3D Frogger games (Frogger 1 and 2 on PS1 and PC). Frogger's Adventure: The Rescue was OK, but now his games completely suck. At least Konami didn't ruin MGS like they did with Frogger, but Konami still isn't an excellent video game company.

I prefer Marvel stick with comics. I wouldn't even consider them third party!

Alright then...what about Namco or Atari?

Namco has Soul Caliber, and Atari has DBZ. As well as thier earlier works.

[Tupin]

Yep.

You know Rare sucked when their first non-Nintendo game was Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Since then, only Viva Pinata and Conker: Live and Reloaded were any good.

SEGA hasn't made a truly awesome game in years.

Konami at least has Contra.

They...I dunno.

They don't have a LOT of good games, but Namco does have Soul Caliber, and Atari had great classics.

[Qsmash]

Capcom has made some of the best fighting games I ever played.

I love the Capcom vs. series and street fighter. ;D

Namco is great almost purely for arcade games. They've almost never made a good console-only game. There's a few exceptions, but not many.

Some of their arcade games suck, too. But overall, Namco is one of the better ones.

Atari...lol, no.

You know Rare sucked when their first non-Nintendo game was Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Since
Konami at least has Contra.

Konami also used to make quite a few good shmups, but that's about it.

I don't even think the "Atari" of today is really Atari.

Also, what about Valve?

Also, what about Valve?

...no. Come back with Valve in about 20 years after they've made more than like 3 decent games.

I can list all of their good games.

Half Life
Counterstrike
Team Fortress Classic
Half Life 2
Half Life 2: Episode 1, 2, and 3
Portal
Team Fortress 2

But I still love Capcom, even though they are making it impossible for me to get into Phoenix Wright. -__-

wow what a huge list

capcom beats the poop out of that like no tomorrow

Valve is good and all, but they have yet to make themselves into a large producer. They're too slow, and too new.

I just hope that they actually turn Zack and Wiki into a franchise.

And make more Megaman platformers.
