I call 80% of the "upset community" trolls since there's other games with less mp (most don't even support AI at all) yet you rarely hear about them (if at all), and some even get positive praise for having a "balanced player count." Actions like this is also a big reason why a lot of gaming companies don't take the player base seriously. Instead of actually trying the game/product first before passing judgement they'd rather go up in arms about something...
I really don't get what all the fuss is "if" it's released on the new consoles. This may have been why they stopped patching the game on PS3/360 to get the game ready for the new gen after the 1.9 patch. If this means the game is less buggy, and less mechanical issues I'd be more than willing to play this so I can play with confidence instead of saving every 20 minutes "just in case."
For those who argue against it, here's an easy solutio...

You forgot the biggest thing needed - reliable internet. You can "want" to stream all you want, however without the internet your limited. There is also areas where the internet is limited/non existent/restrictive so there's those people who have to rely on second-hand places to get their fix.
I don't see how, if anything it opens new possibilities for people with limited access to physical media. There is also markets with limited/no internet so "if" this is a start of something new you're only limiting your fanbase.
My biggest concern about this is why wait so long to finally release it? I understand there's extensive testing involved, and certain legal issues that need to be addressed first. However by the time this service rolls out h...
I'm part of that 4.2 million.
Seeing some of those box art brings back so many memories.
Disable pausing during the contest?
Something like this would be welcomed as an article more than a user blog, a lot of what you mentioned is something a lot of older gamers brought up multiple times. Especially the pre order bonuses; now your lucky to pay at least $150+ for anything half decent, and whatever you do get isn't even worth keeping.
It's sad when companies cut corners with booklets, overpriced "extras," and DLC, then justify their decisions only to later complain because "...
I've used Home off and on since open beta in 2009, and met some gamers on there I wouldn't have met otherwise. If they did add another Home-type experience I would give it a shot, however it's not on my "OMG I NEED RIGHT NOW" list; "if" they do come around to releasing something like that I'd be too busy playing other games anyways. Is it welcomed, yes; would I "demand" or "ask for it?" no.
What we need is the old Capcom from the 90s; the Capcom that made sold fighters, decent RPGs, and Resident Evil was actually fun to play. Anymore the fanbase knows once they release a game it's only a matter of time before some "upgraded" version comes out with all the additions. Also I do not in one way feel sorry for Capcom, and I'm almost on a boycott with their games because of how stupid their decisions have been. The last Capcom title I bought was Street Fighter X T...
I'd add MGS 5 GZ to the list, or at least an honorable mention.
I'd vote 2 as the best of the series. I couldn't even finish SF, I had to force myself multiple times to keep playing until I couldn't play anymore. One on the PS2 I remember spending a lot of time on, 2 was really good, 3 was playable at least once through, and 4 I couldn't finish.
How about resurrecting GOOD, complete games instead of cash-ins and cut content passed as DLC. I'll add to the list:
Xenogears
Einhander
Bushido Blade
Rival Schools
Street Fighter Alpha
Lunar
Swap Sonc 2 for 3 and Knuckles, and add these to honorable mentions:
Beyond Oasis
Eternal Champions
Mortal Kombat
Landstalker
Out of this World
I miss the days of no DLC; you bought a game, it was complete. You unlocked extra content through playing the game, not buying extras.
@ frosty
The indie scene has been more "vocal" and more recognized in the recent times (thanks to the internet), however they've been around since the NES days, and maybe even earlier.
@kalkano
I'm in the same boat; I've noticed playing a lot of older games (especially NES) and that's after purchasing a PS4. I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate, and someone will probably argue I don't even own one, but I'...
I miss the risks devs took back then; making a lot of legendary games we still sometimes play. I also blame the "follow the leader" approach a lot of devs use today, especially with the over saturation of 1/3rd person shooters.
At most I'd say have his internet restricted/monitored. There's people who say way worse online, rarely anything is done about it (or even heard of) yet someone makes empty threats and gets jail time. If the kid really wanted to do something he would have done it without actually advertising what he was going to do.
This is one reason why I'm so glad I don't get too involved with MMOs, or a lot of multiplayer games for that matter; you can't say anythi...
When I played the online, I stuck to the private/invite only servers so there was no fear of cheaters. The more I read about the issues the online has the more I'm glad I left for other games.
Interesting read, especially with the poll at the end. I'd vote more women in gaming; as long as they fit the game/story and not added "just because" they can actually make the experience better. I'll go on the record to say we need more minority women leads, not to fill "quota" but to prove there's other nationalities who can also do the job just as good if not better.
