It’s our fault as consumers, you know, for continuing to buy products that are half-complete, KNOWING the finished one will come later, and for more money.
MvC3 did not deserve a 60 dollar pricetag. It didn’t even have a spectator mode. The online system is the worst I’ve ever seen. The story mode was mediocre, and there wasn’t much to the game at all. It’s a bare-bones fighters at its best. And even as that it doesn’t feel complete…
SF4 vanilla had no spectator mode, same amount of story mode (hence it’s an arcade mode).
And yet most of us dropped more bucks for SSF4, ok is was a discounted price but who says SMvC3 won’t be? (assuming it’s real)
If you didn’t want to spent 60 bucks on something you don’t like than you shouldn’t have.
Finished products? hell all new/yearly the NHL’s Maddens, Smackdown vs RAW’s and World of Warcrafts are updates of an existing game.
(MvC3 had enough characters for a core fighting game imho)
It’s business, companies are here to make money period, if a game does decent there’s bound to be DLC or a followup.
Obviously if Capcom is happy with the sales number of MvC3 a new MvC game of some type is guaranteed. The key here is that they expected MvC3 to sell 2 million worldwide, I am quite sure they have not met that target so far, although I do suspect that they aren’t completely unsatistified with how the game has sold.
The game passed the 2 million mark months ago and it received great reviews. Most of the people I have heard the negativity from are fans/players but I think every game is eventually going to be scrutinized and loathed by a portion of their community no matter how well it does. Hell, I heard someone complain and say MK9 had TOO much content for its own good. And MvC fans says opposite about their game. It’s comical almost but you can’t hate Capcom in today’s industry. Like Diek pointed out a few post above, at least they aren’t like EA whoring the Madden series or how Activision did with Guitar Hero.
I dig that if it’s said in the Captain America voice from MvC3. (when he says Hyper stars & stripes/charging star) He sounds pretty epic, I don’t know if it’s different in the english voice options.
Gambit was all about breaking hearts and breaking cabinets. Can anyone find that one video of these two guys playing MVC2, where one guy keeps crashing the cabinet with Gambit glitch and the other guy absolutely RAGES? It’s fucking hilarious, but I can’t find it.
HAHAHAHA there is another one where this dude has his friend videotape him going into an arcade and playing MvC2 where he does the Ruby Heart freeze glitch against some fat dude. “I WANT THAT GUY BANNED FROM THIS ARCADE!”. Hilarity ensues.
"You try that Gambit glitch again I’m gonna punch you in the face."
That is some hardcore trolling. That needs to be Cable’s pre-fight dialogue with Gambit in SMVC3.
Those jump around mix-up attempts is why I think Gambit would be a great character in MvC3. Cyclops would be far too predictable and not someone who would do well in this game unless they make his Optic blast overpowered. Which would be a big turnoff.
