Since its initial announcement, commentary on Capcom’s latest game, an open world action-RPG has been divided into two groups. On one hand, there were those optimistic about the game and it’s climbing monster-climbing mechanic, and looked forward to its release. On the other side of the conversation were those who flat out rejected the game, and dismissed it as destined for failure.
