Capcom made that stupid gem system because they wanted another cash milking venue outside of colors (lol), costumes (ok), characters on discs (lolol) and PRESET COMBOS that was recently revealed by the hackers.
Yep, they waste time on a dumb system for shameless cashgrabs. What did you expect from Capcom?
This pricing is really dumb. I read the whole "reasoning" article and Im not convinced. Sure you're selling it well, to you FANS. But people who knows nothing about Cave games who saw the pretty old school shooter and wanted to try it would've shunned the price.
Meh, if Square wanted to milk us, give us most interesting characters like, bosses or characters from past FF games such as Omega. Nobody gives a damn about Jihil Na-who?
Namco X Capcom was all flair, eye candy, and fan service. As a SRPG is pretty lackluster, lacks tactics, and later stages takes forever to clear which makes the process even more boring.
Even Tactics Ogre had this issue with time per stage, though it was infinitely more fun since theres actual tactics involved.
I'll say Devil Survivor 1 and 2 did the perfect job of finding the balance for a SRPG mechanic that dont get dull while remains challenging.
Storywise it just looks like a theater version of the first Phoenix Wright game on the DS. I was expecting an original case for a movie. The best part of the series was the mysteries and plot twists for each case. Since those of us who played the DS game already knows the story, it kind of takes a lot away from the movie.
Ok Im totally out of the loop with all these names and references, so can someone help me out by actually telling me which retailed has which outfit?
Who has the pink one, who has the yellow afro and who has the ripped denim vest and pants? Only one i can figure out i that Best Buy has the gothic black dress, lol.
Maybe if Capcom would stop giving their fans the middle finger all the time by constantly trolling with "Mega Man", releasing the same game with better content every 7-9 month, turning one of their most anticipated new fighter into a party game AND making OVERPRICED DLC for it before its even released that adds up to almost 100$ for the full game, less people would boycott them no?
Capcom losing profit is not surprising me, at all. You can only do so much before fans are tired of your crap.
