And thus another core game gets added to a lame crowd that thinks absurdly low fatality rates (to the point of boredom, after hitting something 50/100/200+ times for the nth time) on enemies and anime cliches creates a "good game."
THQ had some investor meeting recently, and everything that was brought up is just being split into separate articles and then one general article it seems. Probably to make it easier for game relevance sorting (ie, when you search "Red Faction" you'll only get the one relevant to Red Faction.)
I don't really see how this could surprise anyone. It's been typical Capcom marketing for ages now. They'll probably keep on doing it unless the market convinces them it's more profitable to do mass amounts of DLC characters.
I guess "Special Velvet Edition" would sound a little... flamboyant? Regardless, usually when I am looking for GOTY editions of crap, I'm looking to get a game and all it's DLC for cheaper than the original price. I don't buy into getting the extra crap... well, save that BioShock OST vinyl I really really want my mitts on. I even have a record player so I could actually use it.
Ya know, I find teaser trailers like this to be flat out dumb. OH HEY GUYS LOOK A BUNCH OF PAPER AND FIRE AND TRY GUESSING WHO THIS IS?! I'd rather have just waited until actual fighting footage was available. Eh well, whatevs, half a minute isn't that much time.
Nice number, but I'd like to see the other consoles for comparison. Frankly I'm more pumped on the idea of the 3DS having 3D movies (hopefully through Netflix.) It's not like my Netflix account is limited to just a Wii, I know plenty of people that have it tied to multiple systems. Congrats Nintendo? Whatever.
I fail to see anything great in Shadows of the Damned. It looks like another shooter with a comedic hook to it which I don't even like. OH LOOK WE MAKE DICK JOKES, WE'RE FUNNY 'CAUSE WE'RE NOT. Yeah, no.
I was actually really excited for Child of Eden, followed the news for it for a long time. Then was told it was only 90 minutes. Yeah, also no. I love the concept and idea, but that music in question is not something I want to listen to over and over to get my replay value out of. I have music I could do that with, but Genki rockets is not it.
I don't really have a problem with Gamestop. Will I ever sell anything to them? Hell no, that'd be dumb as shit. I can get more from my stuff off of Craigslist. Occasionally they do get in hard to find old games for consoles though, and I still look through all of them when I do bother to go. I'd never buy a PC game from them though.
I'd like to know what their profits are in 2014, see if they can put money where their mouth is.
Scarlet and Kenshi were pretty damn good additions to the game. Not just because of their previous existence in the game, but just as good fighting styles. Naturally I'm looking forward to playing Rain.
