… And your hard drive on your PS3 will fail when you least expect it.
HD’s last on average 6-8 years.
How long has YOUR HD been running, hmm???
The problem with download is no physical copy of the game! So, sayonara, SOL, you don’t own that game forever. It’s not like the disc days. Pay once, you keep that game until you sell it or get rid of it AND the console it plays on. Nowadays, the companies just want you to keep paying for the same game code again and again and again and it’s ridiculous.
This is exactly what many of us HATE about DLC and DL games.
With some games, they give you ALL the DLC on a brand spanking new ultimate edition a year AFTER the original game release… (Okay, fair enough… not my favorite business tactic but at least the full game is on a disc somewhere that won’t be erased or break some day because of a bad motor.) It’s there if you want it and you don’t have to go through withdrawal or worrying about what you paid for. I, for one, do NOT care for games that gradually get unlocked online to find that I can lose the whole chunks of what I paid for with one nice hard drive wipe or crash.
Licensing rights lasting a few years and drying up is nothing new… I just wonder how many people will like it when several hundred dollars of their money goes up in smoke when their HD decides to take a dirt nap.
It’s not as if some PS3’s and many, MANY more 360’s weren’t already taking early retirement this generation, HD failures or not. This has to be the worst console cycle for reliability, PERIOD, and I’ve been around every console since the Atari 2600 days. They were NEVER this poorly made before!
I, for one, am less concerned about a bunch of costumes that I will probably never buy. I’m more interested in characters and game content that matters like play modes.
(Of course, if the UMvC3 game HAD been better, I probably would have played it more, too…!)
I don’t think this is necessarily the end of UMvC3, period. (You can bet on MvC2 coming back… I doubt that game will stay away.) That depends on the FGC and people wanting this stuff enough to make it worth Capcom’s effort to re-license. Unless the Disney people are terminally brain-dead – and despite being evil as sin at times and too omnipresent with all the Princesses and toy movies, they’re generally not dumb businessmen – they will probably find it in their best interests to keep the Marvel brand alive as it were on game consoles.
And btw, back in the day, a lot of us HATED the name NickRox for a good bunch of reasons.
Change the sig name for your own good. It’s a bit too close for comfort to see any alternate spelling of that name.
