Capcom Ruins Everything

Arcanum · 01-23-2013, 01:57 PM

Many of you remember Dragon's Dogma, or "That game that was fucking amazing, let's pray Capcom doesn't shoot themselves in the foot before they make a sequel."

Well guess what. They fucking shot themselves in the foot.

Following in the same vein of Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV, and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, the upcoming alleged "DLC" for Dragon's Dogma, Dark Arisen, will be a re-released full version of the game with additional content!

~~Here's some news articles.~~ Much better source than those other two links

The game will cost ~~$20~~ $40 USD, and will be available digitally and as a physical disc on the PS3, and only as a physical disc on the 360 (a "Games on Demand" version will be on the 360 in the future).

All Capcom had to do was release this as $10 downloadable DLC. But no, they have to keep going with their asinine concept of re-releasing games.

I hate Capcom. I hate them so much.

At least it's not the price of a full game.

Thread title correction: Capcom continues to ruin everything. No one surprised.

Arcanum · 01-23-2013, 02:17 PM

The thread title was more of an affirmation than a breaking news update.

Whelp, saw it coming. Was hoping with how they handle SFxTekken's update, that they learned that people don't like buying the same game again. But apparantly that's not the case.

Thank god I'm use to Capcom shooting themselves silly with every bad decision.

Here's hoping their new line of MM games don't suffer the same fate.

Quote:

Saves from the previous game can be carried over and owners of the original title who purchase Dark Arisen will receive 100,000 Rift Crystals, unlimited Ferrystones and the Gransys Armour Pack consisting of six brand new costumes. Dark Arisen will also introduce an easier travel system along with simplified menus, which will be retrofitted to the original game when purchased.

...Sounds like Dark Arisen just includes the original game for new players so they can catch up without buying the original title too. But purchasing it will just install new content if you've already installed the original game. (Hence the 'retrofitting.') Plus, there are incentives for purchasers of the original game to buy the DLC. Save states carry over, tons of rift crystals and unlimited Ferrystones.

If the expansion content is substantial and significant enough to justify the price, I don't see the issue here at all.

Keyword "IF".

With Capcom, it could go either way.

On the other hand, I bought both Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. Both on day one. Is Capcom the real enemy here?

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche · 01-23-2013, 02:34 PM

They did this with Dead Rising Off the Record as well. Moronic and ridiculous.
