Things That Bother You About Gaming

[Foggle]

PlatinumGames' JP had this to say:

"I've been in LA this week, but if the game was cancelled, I certainly don't know about it."

Thank god.

[Foggle]

Oh wow, what the fuck, Grasshopper?

Skrillex? Five Finger Death Punch? Dragonforce? Children of Bodom? I thought you guys made "punk rock games?" What with this lame shit!? Where's the goddamn punk?!

[Spark Of Spirit]

Ugh. Why does nobody try other styles of music other than genera rock for games?

I really expected better from Grasshopper than fucking Skrillex and Children of Bodom. Seriously, the title of No More Heroes was inspired by The Stranglers! Their company motto is "punk's not dead!" C'mon, guys.

Capcom is at it again!

I never played Asura's Wrath, nor do I have any desire too, but apparently Capcom has some DLC planned for it. The true ending to the game. So you want to see the game's real ending?

Just give Capcom more money!

[Rynnec]

Dammit Capcom! And just when I was about to rent the game too.

The worst April Fool's day prank ever.

1st April ? Nintendo is proud to announce the opening of a brand new software development studio in the heart of the English countryside. Established just outside the village of Henley-in-Arden, 20miles south of Birmingham, Phoenix Games? is already hard at work on the research and development of three brand new projects for Nintendo?s Wii U? Video Game Console, and Nintendo 3DS?.

Leading this new studio are video game veteran?s Tim and Chris Stamper. Perhaps best well known for their previous studio Rareware?, based in Twycross. Tim and Chris have exclusively worked on Nintendo platforms for nearly thirty years, and following the sale of Rareware? to Microsoft in 2002 have been eager to return to Nintendo?s family.

?We?ve always felt at home developing on Nintendo systems, we share the same mentality, thought process and care for our titles and properties. We?ve found working with Nintendo over these past few months exhilarating and are blown away by their plans for the Wii U?.? says Tim, whilst his brother Chris had this to say ?We left Nintendo in 2002, and shortly after we realised something wasn?t right with Microsoft. We cut our losses and left Rare in early 2007. Early last year when Reggie Fils-Aime gave us a call and decided to share with us the first details of ?Project Cafe?, as it was then known, it instantly sparked our interest. They truly have one amazing machine with the Wii U? and we cannot wait to show the world what it can do at E3 in June.?

Tim and Chris are also joined by famed-developer and long-term friend David Doak, best known as the producer for both Goldeneye 007? and Perfect Dark? on the N64? video game system.

At this rate we're going to need a thread just to bitch about Capcom.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I think we should just turn the MML3 thread into the "Capcom is terrble" thread.

This is just getting sad.

Seconded.

I just read that article Eddy posted and all the comments and I agree with everyone saying that there is a HUGE difference between content that's already on the disc and content that was obviously made after the game went Gold. I plan to buy the "The Wrath of the Lamb" DLC for Binding of Isaac when it comes to Steam later in the month, since this is a good example of DLC that was planned out after the game launched. Capcom having a code you have to buy to get the other characters however isn't something I want to support.

[Foggle]

Oh man, lol. EA really sucks.

NOOOOOO MY CHILDHOOD

[Eddy]

That Star Wars thing leaves me a loss for words. But I wouldn't say it's killing Star Wars any worse than all the shit George has already done to it.

My friends were trying to defend Capcom's shit today. Telling me that they're a business and what not. Bullshit. They're a business, yes, but fucking over your fans and pulling crap like they have is NO way to run a business. I don't see how anyone can honestly DEFEND Capcom for the crap they've been pulling this gen.

[Rynnec]

I got hit with the "It's business" BS card as well (for both Capcom, and more recently, DRM's). That argument completely misses the point on why these practices are bad, if not downright harmful to the industry as a whole.
