...and surprise!! It was disc locked the whole time! Yay! Go Capcom, you're the best!

mattdillahunty3921d ago (Edited 3921d ago )

whether or not it's locked on the disc doesn't matter as much to me. what matters is that they're charging for something as simple as this. it probably took, like...two seconds to code in, and not only that, but it actually changes the mechanics of the game. a game that is focused around multiplayer.

this should be free no matter what. it's both funny and sad that Capcom would do stuff like this, especially since there was an article posted yesterday with CD Projekt Red saying they don't want to nickle and dime customers for small updates or fixes. articles like that just make companies like Capcom look even worse when they do these things.

Exactly, and since SF4 first came out, they initially promised they wouldn't do shit like this. I remember when gems were announced, when talking about SF x Tekken features, they were going on and on about how it wouldn't cause any imbalance issues.

Anyone with any common sense can see it obviously causes imbalance issues, that's the whole point of the gems, to change the actual gameplay balance of character attributes. I don't think the argue should even be that gems should be free, they SHOULDN'T EXIST.

When I heard of gems, I knew what it really was. It's just another avenue for a $$$ DLC cash-in. Great balancing in fighters is something Capcom has always been known for, for them to be greedy for $$ so much that they're willing to compromise that, just shows how far they've fallen.

I don't mind paying for DLC, but this is why capcom is normally surrounded with bad news. I wish they'd go back to roots and not rely on updates and dlc to get the game right...sigh....

furneri3573921d ago

this as a paid dlc ?! what the hell capcom

yami9303921d ago

I was actually waiting for a "Super", "complete" edition of this game hopefully to see Capcom listen even a tiny bit. I would of liked to see it have all DLC, a customize battle mode that allows for a mix and match options like no gems modes, no combo presets, 1 vs 1 and 2 vs 2 and not needed but it would be nice if it had at least 4 new characters (2 being the once rumoured Devil Kazuya and Evil Ryu, and the other 2 being most fan requested characters) and 2 - 6 new stages. Gems, no 1 vs 1, and the whole DLC fiasco was a huge letdown for me, ended up not liking the game at all even though I initially couldnt wait for it once it was announced :/

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker2h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing692h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos8h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto7h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger887h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
