Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

I think if they had announced DLC coming out when the game launched would have made the game more of a risk for Capcom. After the initial launch it would have looked like a cash grab to get more money out of the faithful and new found fans.

You can’t really 50/50 dlc. You gotta put the chips in all at once or not at all, it seems.at least it seems that way with AA and AAA titles. Indie have some leeway.

I think people would be more excited for V DLC now that game is shown to be complete, it’s been almost a year so the cash grab aspect would be easy to argue against, and because people want it. Like bad. People want playable Vergil really badly.

Oh no doubt I think it’d be okay now. I don’t think Capcom knew how successful DMCV was going to be because of aforementioned controversy of the reboot.

I’ve never really been a fan of the series but I know how much it’s impacted the landscape of action games and why it’s important to gaming history. I can never take that way from it. I’m glad to see it’s such back in good graces.

Im thinkin maybe capcom burned Platinum at one point, no evidence just a hunch. Neither seem stingy with their properties, so Im thinkin Capcom at fault, theyve burned companies before lol (SNK)

Almost all of them are ex-Capcom employees who came from Clover studios. I’d say Capcom burned them pretty bad long before they where P*. I just wonder if P* is the one with the grudge.

Prolly P*, Capcom doesn’t seem to be against working with any companies these days. They’re very generous with their properties, they’re still trynna build good will & make up for the shit they pulled during the ps3 era

It’s literally that teams first PC port of anything. Dunno how you feel about that being a good reason or not, but it is the reason they gave at least. And it’s not like we don’t know Japan doing PC ports is still a new thing

Wow. I knew No Man’s Sky released and was dogshit. I had a lot of fun tearing into it here. But I didn’t know they went this far to fix it. That’s the TL:DW in case you’re wondering. They fucked up in several ways, but went above and beyond to fix their game. I still have no interest in NMS, but I have to commend them. In this current era of devs selling us half a game with NO fixes or fucking us over with microtransactions down the road, it’s interesting that one of the once shining examples of fuckery cleaned itself up.

Decided to check out the trailer because of your post. This was then followed by ordering the limited edition. How have I not heard of this before?!?

I stopped trying to tell people about No Man’s Sky. It’s unrecognizable from its launch days. The VR support makes it really fucking cool too.

That is a good reason. It definitely lends itself to explaining what happened. Still don’t think it excuses the state it released in, but, it’s always nice to have context, for sure.

I mean even experienced companies are having issues with this stuff. Rockstar just got egg all over their face for the PC RDR2 port.

I’m not excusing that either. If anything they have less excuses.

Look guys, I don’t know what I said to imply otherwise, but making and porting games is definitely hard lol. It doesn’t change how I feel about delaying something for half a year only for that product to be released in a broken state.

As I said I only responded to how you where coming off, which was with the attitude that they just sat around doing nothing. That’s all. I get being disappointed, im just saying it’s a common occurance in the industry and especially has been for MHWs PC content. It seemed rather clear to me that team doesn’t have as much experience with making PC games, open hardware formats because the PC content always takes forever and almost always has some kind of hiccup. This should be expected from this team if you just follow the releases history is all I’m sayin, even without the team coming out and admitting they are new. Least they put in the work to fix it and bring it up to par once it’s out in the wild and experiencing the issues they don’t know to look for.

Capcom is not iD, you know? DOOM Eternal will probably release 95% problem free cuz iD has been doing it for 35+ years. It’s their wheel house.

All fair points, especially RE DMC1. Capcom had never really made an action game on that level before so it makes sense that there’d be imbalances.

Got to agree with the DMD critique. Beating on basic enemies for that long gets stale pretty quick.

so I’m watching this right now

I have to wonder why a long combos game like this has to have so much dialogue. I’m hearing at least 3 different voices when only two characters are playing yelling at each other nonestop even when the opponent is blocking he won’t shut up, holly shit.

That’s like…my main critic of that series. It’s hard to play because no ever SHUTS THE FUCK UP! They are constantly cutting eachother off mid sentence over and over its so annoying lol. Can barely even hear the music.

people in the arcades japan can’t hear anything anyway because of the noise of other games i’d believe so it’s more bearable
