nuff said
but you can say that about any character in the right hands

redDevil875232d ago

the guys a massive waste of a character slot. Could have put in a fan favourite in but they opted for the cheapest player in the last game... idiots

riksweeney5232d ago

He was overpowered in MvC2 too.

That was because he was a unbalanced character from X-Men: Children of the Atom. They should have balanced he MvC3 so I really think its the case of a good player for now. Capcom pretty much had to balance people as the new engine made them remake everyone and the fact that only 6 people could own everyone else in MvC2.

One thing to note also is that the damage is increase in every single promo video. In the final game no one will hit that hit unless you increase it.

If I remember correctly, the actual Sentinels were meant to be formidable soldiers (or Magneto's minions?). In the comics a single Sentinel could be sent out to capture a mutant; they were kinda like the Dementors (Harry Potter) of Marvel. Any mutant who saw a Sentinel knew their azz was grass, but elite mutants could usually defeat/escape them. In the comics Sentinels were bad news, especially since there was an army of them. So did they dumb the character down the 1st time, or do it a better justice this time around?

Then again Juggernaut and the Hulk should produce 2 to 3 hit kills given their power on the grid, Magneto should be pretty much untouchable... so it is a game.

Besides, almost every fighting game I've played has at least one "cheese" character, so we could argue that it fits nostalgia-wise.

Have you guys not ever played the Sentinal in previous X-Men: Next Dimension fighting game????? He was powerful but not in the least bit unbeatable. Why is this news? Not like the character has never been used in the fighting game before.

They even mention games in the past that used the Sentinal... did they not play those games??? Sentinal was not over powered in the least bit. Now Psylock though...! She could over power me any day!

Capcom reveals its PC game [digital] sales overshadow console, and it's only growing

The earnings reports of Capcom's Fiscal year 2024 showcase the growth of PC over console, with 60% of game sales being made on the former.

Vits3d ago

What’s interesting is that, given how well their games sell, it’s very likely most of them fall into the 25/75 revenue split bracket. The larger ones, like Monster Hunter, are in the 20/80 bracket.

So even accounting for the vastly superior regional pricing on PC, I wouldn’t be surprised if revenue-wise from digital sales, both platforms are close, or if PC is ahead as well.

Yes PC is the biggest platform and it has definitely improved as a home console of sort plug and play. It's the only platform with actual freedom for gamers with modding. I was a console gamer for over 38 years and now I only play on Pc. Whether you are buying pre-built or building it yourself it's now easier than ever before to jump in

And my experience with pc gamers has been excellent, they are helpful with any questions on pc boards

As a gamer who also loves replaying his old favorite titles, possibly with a few mods as well, I can’t imagine ever getting another console.

TheColbertinator2d ago

Make every game available on Steam by default. The consoles are secondary

Profchaos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They spoke about resident evil and monster hunter I would actually find the monster hunter breakdown more interesting tbh as I've always felt like this game would be at home on PC

but for resident evil it's always felt like a PlayStation mainstay despite having exclusivity elsewhere likely because it was where I first played it. The game feels like it's begging to be played lights off in the loungeroom late at night or also in VR I've never been as scared as I was playing re7 in VR

Is this really suprising? Looking at the evolution of the Switch, X|S and Playstation 5?

Eonjay2d ago

The biggest cause is probably the lack of game purchases on the Xbox platform. Also keep in mind this is only digital sales so there is a chunk of sales not being shown here.
