i feel no loyalty or affection for them. their objective is to get as much of my money as they can without pissing me off. my objective is to pay as little as possible for things i want. there’s no room for sentiment in there.
I was really fuckin hype for it too, it’s like someone decided to take only the cool aspects of japan and mix them with the perfect third person shooter. Now I can’t roundhouse aliens or uppercut+rocket combo soldiers in space suits on my 3DS RIP:sad:

I dare anyone to tell me that shit doesn’t look like pure fun. kay maybe a pink haired spiky protagonist isn’t your cup of tea but his is exactly the kind of game we need in a climate saturated by FPS games which all play alike and try way too hard to have a dark gritty “Adult” atmosphere.
Okay flipfloppers come and get it!
Their worst mistake was dropping Clover
Now we have Platinum, so now I can happily say Fuck Capcom with a smile on my face.
Why? MGSRising.
I also need to scoop up Vanquish, my friend’s sister told me Vanquish is shit, and another employee at another Gamestop told me it was an “interesting choice” when I asked if they had a copy in back.
They don’t know shit. They really don’t know about anything they personally haven’t played because they don’t care about videogames.
Last game I bought by Capcom was SSIV, when I first got my Xbox 360
Oh wait a minute fuck who else? Fuck Microsoft, I will never buy another Microsoft console again.
Capcom has the potential to win me back, Microsoft does not.
I’m very close to saying fuck Rare, but the Banjo-Kazooie fan in me still has faith that one day someone else will buy them from Microsoft. There have only been two franchises that have been shat on by Rare, i.e. Banjo-Kazooie and DK, rather than pretty much ALL of them by Capcom
Rant complete.
SO. FUCKING. WHAT?!
And I mean it. It’s not like your vanilla disc just crumbled in your hand or something. If you want more then get the new game, if not then don’t.
The logic being if you don’t want more you probably didn’t like it that much in the first place, is it perfect? No. It isn’t. There’s no perfect method but it is a good one.
I don’t own a 3DS but I would totally buy this game off of PSN… if I owned a PS3. Also Capcom could totally do Remote Play with it.
I think that honestly the reason why this isn’t coming to North America might be because games of that type have proven that they don’t sell well enough to justify the time and money spent on localizing it. That’s my only guess because this game looks like the happy marriage of Gun Valkyrie and Lost Planet. FurryCurry loves both.
My thoughts on the list
10) "Destroying Survival Horror"
They may have destroyed Resident Evil’s survival gameplay but the genre is still alive. And honestly it’s still not too late for Capcom to remake 0-X with the new controls/camera found in 4-6 but also add in more survival elements like dealing with bleeding, broken limbs, time, etc.
I think that Capcom would do good to step back for a year and just play some other games or watch some movies and get some inspiration. I’ve played a lot of stuff lately that test out different survival aspects.
9) Poor Management
We only get glimpses of this from producers and directors voicing their concerns every few months but this is obviously a problem. Ya know when I heard that RE6’s release date was bumped up a month all I could see was everyone crying and saying goodbye to their families and friends. No one can say anymore about this though unless they’ve worked at Capcom.
8) Uh…sloppy typos???
*:rolleyes: *
7) SF: The Movie
This movie was just fine lol. The video game was shameful though. Definitely should have said the Legend of Chun-Li instead.
6) Not porting Prof Layton X Phoenix Wright or Monster Hunter G
I wouldn’t give up hope on the first one being ported. Both of those series do well in America. Might just be poor planning on Capcom’s part. Localization costs zenny!
Monster Hunter as a franchise is retarded in how all these sequels and updates and ports and localization are handled. It’s an utter mess. If any of Capcom’s franchises needed a reboot it’s this one. Start with a global product in mind like Dragon’s Dogma.
5) Rehashes
There’s a difference between rehashing something and a best of or collected edition. I think it behooves any publisher to re-release a high selling title that has a lot of post launch DLC attached to it. So showing a picture of Resident Evil 5 Gold for instance is small minded.
In the case of Dead Rising 2 Case West I can see that starting life as DLC but Capcom and that developer probably found that it was much too big to honestly release that way. And it was released at a discounted price and it lacks Chuck Greene from the vanilla Dead Rising 2.
MvC3 and SFIV to me are where the problems come up. Both of these games got super upgrades that made the original releases obsolete. If Ultimate MvC3 could have just been a download that didn’t make my vanilla copy of MvC3 obsolete I wouldn’t have cared but it did. Same with Super SFIV. I almost feel that at the point you might as well make new games.
4) Clover Studio
They shouldn’t have fired everyone. That talent could have been redistributed throughout the company.
3) DLC
DLC is a tricky subject and honestly this is more about every developer than it is exclusively Capcom. I think console gamers expected DLC to be like how it is on the PC. But the nature of PC DLC is so different and the way it was even born is so very different. I mean we didn’t even really call DLC, DLC back in the day. They were called expansions and they came well after a game was released sometimes. They weren’t usually planned out before a game was released. And a lot of the times they were mods that caught the attention of the original developers. But not only that, PC games don’t have a barrier between them and the players like consoles do.
See what we tend to forget is that the consoles are walled gardens. Developers just can’t go “Oh shit, there is some dumb bug that needs to fixed.” and push it to everyone. Everything that a game publisher wants to release on a console has to be ran through bureaucratic channels. I mean you cats heard about how the Fez developer wanted to send a bug fix for the game after release but because he already used up his free update he’d have to pay $40,000 for this one and subsequent updates? And since his game didn’t make bank like that he can’t afford to send the update. So really the only way to do DLC on consoles is to plan it out. No spur of the moment fun stuff. You can’t have TF2 style updates on either console. “OH yeah let’s just turn this into a Free 2 Play game now” or more recently “Let’s make a brand new gameplay mode.” If Valve wanted to do that on XBL they’d have to cut through so much red tape to make it happen.
So even if these characters weren’t on disc there would probably be NO WAY of honestly doing it without having made the decision on who would be in the game as DLC well before release. They couldn’t go “Oh let’s add Dr. Strange” two months after release and then release him two months later on a whim. We just aren’t going to get that same spontaneity with DLC that we do on PCs.
2) Cancelling Mega Man
The problem with Mega Man is that there is no direction internally for the property. There was and then he quit. I think it’s better than Capcom not fuck up things further by releasing uninspired and directionless dredge.
I’ve made suggestions as of how to handle Mega Man (classic) in our Mega Man thread. I think that X as series probably only had a few games left in honestly and might be best viewed as a mutliplatform downloadable title.
Even if Mega Man no longer sells like gangbusters there are ways to plan and fiance development for titles not meant to crack 500,000 units sold. This especially true for a franchise that’s built around platforming.
1) No More Disney Games
What? This doesn’t even make sense. That’s like getting mad at 2K Sports for no longer making NFL games.
Maybe you shouldn’t read the link in my last post:rofl:
^Man what the hell.
These are 3rd or 4th rate solutions.
I guess it was acceptable back when you couldnt have instant downloads. Even then people were pissed.
I did stop buying and playing.
Its perfect for them and making money, not for me. There are waaaay to many other games I’d rather play.
A winner is you. For the rest of us, We were all unwitting participants in something so evil and vile it might become the unofficial 9th deadly sin.
-Starhammer-
It is NOT a 3rd or 4th rate solution because had it been DLC at the current going rates it would be more expensive AND there’d be no physical product.
So doing what was done 20 years ago is a better solution than postponing the game a year?
Paying 40 for shit i dont care about outside of gameplay adjustments is something I don’t do anymore. I can save that 40 for something else brah.
Wait 3 years > Buy every version
-Its not like they re-vamp the single player to something thats actually fun like in PC games.
You’re not convincing me that spending about 140 is worth it. 60+40+40. AND THATS JUST STREET FIGHTER
Well arcade edition was a 15 dollar DLC, and that’s where I’d go for that. It’s only 4 characters.
And YES, getting Vanilla then a year later getting Super was VERY worth it.
Bunch of people I didnt play… and no alex or sean
Then MvC3 to UmvC3. Numerous releases for the Capcom Classic collections that you end up playing 1 game, lol.
i did like the one on the PSP, that one was good. Was missing Cap-Commando
I dnt like what they have been doing man.]
Oddly enough, the only thing I don’t agree with is the RE thing. Odd cuz I dnt play those games.
it just makes sense to me that the people who fought zombies before and rank up in the game get better skills. YOU ARE ON AN ELITE TEAM.
its kinda like going to ninja school and then not evening being able to slash, haha.
Haha, yeah. I thought it was crazy interesting, though.
Another reason Capcom isn’t what it used to be is because a lot of the developers that made some of our favorite games aren’t with the company anymore.
That’s just personal crap (and Sean is just un-funny Dan).
THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?
DO YOU EvEN PLAY ON A CUSTOM STICK?
I bet you dnt even play on xbox or ever been to a local gathering!
SEAN is the Future son.
haha,
J/k
consumer behavior is ultimately personal so excuuuuseeeee mmeeee princess for catching on to the gimmicks and refusing to buy it, Ill stay with COD.
Converse with SRK member
Just a troll
I told you Sean is un-funny Dan.
I play on PS3 and PC, on my Round 1 TE dual modded with an MC Cthulhu. I have so been to local gatherings.
Sean is the worst shoto ever.
I’m not laughing.
NO J/K!
I mean ultimately, as a person who likes these things I want more and feel as if it’s a good deal.
I don’t complain about COD map packs or whatever because I don’t like the base thing to begin with.
youre happy buying what should have been from the get go… I am not
Plus its sucks because I don’t have a flatscreen and neither normal or widescreen settings work with normal tvs, so its crap.
No point in talking to you cuz my stuff is personal, imagine that. Peace out, ggpo
Firstly, I really hope you know I was joking.
Secondly, Sean and Alex and the Capcom Classics Collection thing were personal. Meaning there’s no logic behind it.
Who’s to say what should have been there from the beginning? A new disc is the same damn thing as DLC, in fact it fragments the player base less.
