Actually, alot of them do. It's one of the reasons why P* gets respect. The guys from P* never really made alot of money from their games but they never worry about sales anyway.
What exactly defines "good over the topness"?

You can do what you like, but I'm going to keep playing games like Bayonetta because I love the gameplay. I'm a shallow gamer and graphics and story don't appeal to me. As long as the gameplay is fun, then I'll enjoy it. Maybe it's for that reason that I had fun with Metroid: Other M and DmC, but whatever. It's your choice to buy whatever games you want, but making a thread to make a big deal out of it is kind of conspicuous, especially when it starts arguments. So do you guys mind toning it down a tad?

But i like MGR :thumbsdown:
Nah its cool. You do what you gotta do plus MGR is the only platinum game I wanna buy so i know what you mean.
To be fair, I dont really see Platinum changing how they do things because its either gotten them success or its how they do things. So it just depends on the individual developer like I'd imagine the MGR team wanting to do something that might be something your interested in.
Cause MGR is more story driven than other Platinum games so that could be something that the team is interested in doing.:ninja:

But weren't some of those fans bragging about sales on this very thread?

Only about MGR and it was about the topic that MGR sold more than DmC which is to be expected since Metal Gear has a stronger brand name than Devil May Cry.
All their other games have sold poorly, even when they were at Clover Studios their games sold poorly. PG can just never catch a break like NT.

Viewtiful Joe and Okami are not P* games and when it comes to P*'s line up of games, Hideki Kamiya is only behind two games (Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101).Cool beans and more power to you my friend. Im'a keep buying their and Kamiya's good games.

I don't care if you hate DmC or not but anyone with a functioning brain would never use this particular metacritic score to try and prove a point where it is clearly has a bunch of people who never played the game and just came in giving poor reviews based on nothing because they were upset about the reboot's existence.Deal with it
This means literally nothing.

I'd say it stands to reason you wouldn't buy games from Platinum if they didn't appeal to you. Entirely boycotting them is nice, but it's pointless if you're not doing it in unison with a large number of people. Besides, it'd be kind of sad if you missed out on good games just because some games didn't turn out the way you wanted them to.
As for this talk about sales, I don't think PG really care. They seem to be doing quite well for themselves. Sure, they're not going to reach GTA V sales with one game, but it seems they're doing fine, making good games.
Edit: pretty sure Clover Studio is basically Platinum Games. Clover Studio went defunct and was split up, with both sides eventually combining to form Platinum Games. So... Okami and Viewtiful Joe are basically their games (though legally they aren't, obviously).

Not all of Clover went to PG...maybe the key members like Kamiya, Inaba, and Mikami but only like a handful went to PG and even Okamiden was made by a large portion of the same team that made Okami. When CAPCOM broke them up and brought them back to the main company some members decided to leave and even before Clover's disbandment Mikami had started a company to the side so he was already planning on leaving. After some of the members left Capcom and form that company it later had a merger with another company completely unrelated guys Clover and Capcom and bam Platinum Games was formed. Sooner or later other guys from Capcom left Capcom to go to PG...although some or most of them were guys who part of the DMC4 team who were tired of Kobayashi....errr I mean Capcom's sh*t.

If I recall correctly, two companies were formed out of Clover Studio. Both of them eventually merged to become Platinum Games. I think most of the employees actually formed Platinum, not just a handful. I know Okami's art director went to Ignition Entertainment, but that's all I know right now.

Really I heard Clover Studio was only and mainly comprised of some of Capcom's top talent and then some. Perhaps they hired random people for filler spots (extra programmers, modellers, etc).

As far as I'm concerned, I'm not missing out on anything by not playing these games.
Like I said, there are a lot of action titles I can still play out there. Both old and new. I honestly could not care less when it comes to "missing out".
In the end, there's really isn't anything for me to "miss out" on.
I don't like their games, I have no personal reason to like them, and since other games can offer me just as much action, I don't have to play them.
Good luck convincing the die-hards of that.
