An overall average series. They basically killed themselves. When it first launched 5-6 years ago it was something fresh. Games 2 and 3 seem to be worse in gameplay, plus Capcom has never really promoted the series a lot. Even for LP1, it never had a ton of promotion, it just kind of sold itself as the endless big shooters we all know now weren't really out yet. And since then, sports games have got better, all the R* and Besthesda games picked up steam etc... LP kind of just did nothing.
One thing I will never understand is how game companies don't try promoting their games more. In the internet age, a game can pick up steam as long as the dev churns out gameplay vids, Q&A sessions and early demos. It's not like Capcom has to spend a ton of money paying for banner ads, print ads or TV spots. Just chrun out lots of digital material and surely sits will make articles on it. And let's face it, so many sites just copy and paste what other sites do so even if Capcom just sent out PR material to the top sites, I bet within a day or two many of the small sites will magically pop up their own article. Basically free advertising.
But it seemed Capcom didn't really do anything.... at least nothing I saw.
