| akuseru said: I think Capcom has been complete BITCHES this gen with their DLC micro transactions milking. They have these "a few KB" DLCs on many of their titles (SFIV and RE5 comes to mind), they even have extensive DLC weeks after release even for small titles like Megaman 9 and 10. In my opinion, it's disgusting. But I guess, it's business.. Capcom however, has by far been the greediest developer/publisher this gen. Their stance on DLC is the sole reason why I haven't bought SFIV. I did however buy SSFIV. With RE5, the DLC stance is only half the reason why I didn't buy it. DLC has ruined a lot of games this gen. Along with patches. It seems many developers just don't care about giving the customer a flawless experience. So many games are buggy and some even unplayable at launch. Also, a lot of DLC gets released only weeks after the full game, some even on the same day. It's crazy! |
I take patches over a unplayable broken game like Wii Music, Too Human or Ready 2 Rumble Revolution any day of the week. Also a lot of the patches this generation involve improvements in online play which is a good thing since not all online games can have massive beta testing like Halo Reach or Battlefield Bad Company 2.
