Four and five were good too. Five more than four. The first two X games were also pretty damn fun.

Aside from those, yeah, it's a pretty barren series, but seven good games is still hardly a bad run.

It's certainly not appropriate, but this whole thread seems to be about comparing the two, otherwise what's the point? Personally, I think they've both had their share of successes and failures.

Actually, it's more about which franchise capcom is likely to continue milking.

RE4 begs to differ.

Which one was better, U.S. Gold Strider 2 or Capcom's?

Silly question. The U.S. Gold sequel wasn't even called "Strider 2" (it's Strider Returns).

Going back to the original topic, some of those franchise numbers don't make sense. I know the list probably doesn't include Arcade games or licensed ports published outside of Capcom, but twelve Dino Crisis games? There has been only three main Dino Crisis games. Add the Dreamcast and PC ports, along with Dino Stalker and that only makes nine Dino Crisis games. Are they including reissues too or what?

It was called Strider II in Europe I'm pretty sure.

I dissagree, but fuck arguing about fighting games (sfa3 is my choice).

It isn't milking if the latest game kicks the shit out of all the previous games combined, a la Resident Evil 4.
