Not doing it is what’s killing all of Capcom. So…
Adding gameplay with all the content in the disc would surely help it’s relations. It’s about being honest to your consumer
And hosting 100 of the dlc on disc and charging 30.00 bucks for it aint quite honest.
I’m not saying that other companies don’t do that, but jesus was there backlash when people exposed that shit.
Somebody did a pretty inarguable writeup on on-disk DLC with the conclusion that it’s dumb to complain about it because ultimately what people are asking is companies to tax their servers more and that’s all.
And yeah, again, look where not doing it has gotten Capcom and, in the same way, Tecmo and THQ.
My point here is that Capcom really needs to take whomever is in their department for relations, and they need to start making amends.
Right now they have to at least come out and say they have made errors right? And not that same excuse of feed back that they fall on. Like they did with most of their products.
People are just looking at some basic level of acknowledgement. Capcom continuously goes
" There’s nothing wrong. "
And then you got people like ES and death metal man (omega shadow) Who put them on blast for it.
That’s not a good look. And I don’t really understand how or why capcoms execs think and follow through the way they do?
Capcom still can’t dig out of the hole caused by SFxT.
What I’m bothered about here: Is that SFxT is actually decent now - better than SSF4, if you ask me. It had a terrible (VERY) start and money-hungry business ethics, and a plethora of problems. Now, it’s pretty decent. That said, I wouldn’t have paid a penny for that DLC if it weren’t already on the console I bought. (Hey, the PS3, game, and SE fight stick were $100 total, and it was a super slim, so pretty new)
I agree though that Capcom hasn’t put out anything worth having since the PS2 days. I held off on the current generation until about a month ago when I picked a PS3 with SFxT off Craigslist because nothing since probably Maximo/Onimusha/Project Justice/Resident Evil 4/Viewtiful Joe/Megaman X Collection & MM Collection/ and the two Capcom Classics collections have actually interested me. I was excited for SF2HDR until I saw the graphics in action and I just said “WTF is this?”
But they still are cutting content from games to be DLC day one and it obviously still isn’t saving their scummy asses.
Just because they are using the child’s logic of “Doing this upsets people, but if I do the same thing in a slightly different way it’ll all be fine” doesn’t make it better.
Day one Virgil mode DLC “But it isn’t on the disk guys!”
Dead Rising series, Dragon’s Dogma and early stuff like DMC4 were Capcom’s best games this gen.
Contrary to SRK, a good amount of people like SF4. Including this guy.

I believe in Capcom and most Japanese gaming companies. The problem is that Japan is increasingly becoming a smaller force in the gaming industry and they are having a hard time balancing their shrinking Japanese base with the large and maybe growing Western base.
I also think that Konami made a lot of good games in the Nes and Snes era. I personally loved their 2.d Castlevania games and I still have Draculas Curse 3 to the Nes.
I personally like the SSf4 series too and I also like Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5 (although it doesn’t feel like a Resident Evil game), but some of Capcoms latest and biggest games (Devil May Cry, Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City and Resident Evil 6) was a huge disappointment for me. I hope that Capcom finds out what went wrong and create better games in the future.
Well isn’t that a shining review?
“SFxT is uh…cough…shrug…its decent”
Wasn’t a review.
Calm down there, Miss Hissypants.
My soul… It’s in agony
opinion, review, w/e… just cracks me up that the defenders of SFxT never muster a compliment for the game beyond… “its not that bad since the patch! really, its decent now! its probably better than SF4!”
starts to give credence to the anti Capcom people who say people just play whats popular
And the haters never get passed the stuff that was fixed in the latest patch. What else is new?
I remember when Alpha 2 was out on SNES and I was looking at in the same catalog that had Yoshi’s Island. Really glad I went with Yoshi’s Island instead.
Never played it before the patch. Game’s still awful. Capcom has seriously lowered everybody’s standards if that game is even considered “decent”.
it’s crazy how crap like candy crush saga is mopping the floor with greats like Capcom:

look at how much this joke of a game rakes in each day.
SFxT did make a huge recovery in terms of respectability. However the money pit it was from the outset (crossassault, multiple promo videos) and the expectations of how well it would do and didn’t just seems like Capcom hasn’t been able to recover financially either with the game itself or as a whole.
Modern Capcom, and possibly most Japanese video game companies, seem to have the idea or habit of telling us whet we should want instead of actually giving us what we want. I have no problem with new ideas or different directions but there comes a point where you just give the fans what they are looking for and not some nonsense like disc locked DLC.
Even now that the game no longer outright sucks there is still no doubt that the final product is underwhelming. For such a cross universe/company spanning game with it’s own reality series and tons of promotional material it simply turned out to be a 6/10. Hardly what one would expect from such an endeavor.
