Capcom being morons again, not including online in a new Monster Hunter game when the 3DS could handle it and they always had huge emphasis on online play. Did Capcom decide 2011 would be the year of stupid/dolegery for them. Cancelling Mega Man Legends 3, announcing a new Marvel vs Capcom 3 version shortly after the original came out, charging for characters already on the disk, cancelling MegaMan Legends 3 (not a fan but I feel for those that are) making it impossible to trade Resident Evil: Mercanaries 3D due to save data that can't be deleted, trying to sell off said minigame as a full priced release, confirming the new Ace Attorney game won't be coming to western countries...it goes on. And to think, I idolised these guys in my youth because of Resident Evil and how much I loved those games. !vgp

@leonkfox Yeah... what the hay is the deal with the 3DS? Has Nintendo failed to pay protection money to the mafia or something?7

@leonkfox Yeah... just seems almost suspicious that software support has been thin on the ground. They may have refused to take advantage of the underground's generous, aggressive offer of "paid assistance".

@pawnheart The problem with 3D is it's hard to arbitrarily shove into a game. It's not like touchscreen support where you can just shove all the menus onto the bottom screen and call it a DS game. You have to actually plan for it.
-
@ceruleanspark Well... tell that to Hollywood. For the first year after Avatar, they pretty much just shoved 3D effects arbitrarily into any film they had going.

@ceruleanspark That and most players are going to leave it off since it gives you a battery life of about 4 hours with it on
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:09:45 UTC from web-
@chono It doesn't help that it's near impossible to keep the "zone of 3d without things looking double" steady when playing the game and using the touch screen.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:11:42 UTC from web -
@chono It's not that much better with it off, tbh. Might as well get the full effect for all the difference it makes.
-
@ceruleanspark I thought without it it could reach around 6-7 hours?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:13:18 UTC from web-
@chono Shutting off the wireless makes more difference for me than shutting down the 3D.
-
@ceruleanspark eh I just leave it on the charger all the time and would mount it in to a wall or something to hold it still since with that short of a battery life its a console not a portable game center

@ceruleanspark Well, if they're genuinely reaching for a quality, integrated final product, you're probably right... but that didn't stop a good portion of innapropriate wii titles hitting the shelves.

@leonkfox I could overlook all of that...then you said the Ace Attorney/Professor Layton was announced to not come to the US. I highly doubt that, but is not then, IT. IS. ON!!!

@fallinwinter I also forgot to mention them charging 16 quid for Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica on Xbox Live ,making them games on demand games so they could do that. RE4 I could POSSIBLY understand being a Games on Demand game, but not Code Veronica. Cheeky buggers. !vgp

@chono It must suck ,to get all excited and then be dissapointed shortly afterwards ,may as well have not announced it to begin with.
-
@leonkfox no the worse part is they were about to release a buyable demo in like a month and then they were like lolno canceling your gamez
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 11:58:44 UTC from web-
@chono Yeah, it just reaks of dolegery. I won't be giving Capcom any of my money for the forseeable future ,not even for RE:Revelations if I ever have a 3DS again.

@leonkfox Ace Atorney has sold like crap in the west for a while now. PW1 was a sleeper hit that secured the release of the others, but Apollo Justice and the Edgeworth game sold poorly.
-
@ceruleanspark Not the truth! I can't handle the truth! Stop it!

@ceruleanspark Even still, doesn't make me think they're not being cherriess overall this year.

@leonkfox (This is all from an American perspective) Well I could say something about the fact that 12 new characters (on disc or not) would equal to far more money than $40 not including graphical and technical updates (On the basis that 400msp, or $5, per character still comes out to $60 for the 12 of the new ones) After looking up the Phoenix Wright/Layton Xover, apparently it did well in a facebook poll when asked what to port over winnign the poll as well as being possibly hinted at a game expo. As for Resident Evil 4/Code Veronica, Here it's 1600 ($20) each and that's a pretty good deal for us since you get a full on game for $5 dollars more than most XBLA games. I can't exactly talk about the other things much since I don't know anything about them.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:05:47 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter In the UK 16 for RE4 is SOMEWHAT acceptable , if not much, but it's an absolute disgrace to charge that much for Code Veronica in my eyes, Sonic Adventure and other Dreamcast games didn't cost nearly that much.
-
@leonkfox Dunno. It's questionable because it's a PS game I suppose. For us, 1200msp is normal for XBLA games now which angered a whole lot of people. The 800 is a welcome saving grace once in a long while. As for Sonic Adventure being 800 msp, that's if you don't buy the 400msp "upgrade" making it the gamecube version instead of the dreamcast version.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:14:12 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter But let's face it, who actually bought that thing? At least it wasn't mandatory to buy at that combined price.
-
@leonkfox well I bought the upgrade because I won some free points and they were about to expire
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:17:32 UTC from web-
@chono I meant on the whole, how many people would care about that "upgrade"? I'm a Sonic fan and I sure as heck didn't.
-
-
@leonkfox I did. It added some extra achievements and stuff to do after beating the game (That thing took me a day or two to beat.) considering I'm a gamerscore kind of guy, the extra achievements were nice as well. Even with that, what's the extra $5 if it's normal to shell out $15 for arcade games anyway. That, and license sharing is fun.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:18:41 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter Eh, I don't see the point in it, I already own the Gamecube version and I never bothered with the "upgraded" features even on that version.
-
@leonkfox Eh, I've payed more for far worse. Those 1600msp I spent on Puzzle Quest Galactrix is the saddest $20 I ever spent.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:20:55 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter eww you bought that game i feel for ya
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:21:34 UTC from web-
@chono I loved Puzzle Quest, but they totally broke the system with shields and weapons and all those unnecessary mini games that were often and annoying. The first Puzzle Quest was cheap, but beatable. PQ:Galactrix wasn't worth it. Doesn't help that my save file somehow got corrupted.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:23:36 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter its ok somehow I oen but don't own my XLA version of golden axe
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:25:12 UTC from web-
@chono I'm assuming you bought it on another xbox? That would be one way to use exploits on xbox's to "share" content.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:26:10 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter How is a you today? ^^
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:27:34 UTC from web-
@jinny Good, I've been listening to the Vinyl Scratch Tapes dramatization. It's like the 4th time I've listened to it by now.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 12:28:27 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter Sweep. ^^ Sounds very productive. I'm doing some oh so fun web design, and by design, I mean recreating something somepony with actual web design skills made. xD
