Capcom appears to be making it a divine company
mission to fuck up and underperform in every release imaginable in 2016 and
2017 even more so. Capcom was once the company that defined a generation of
fighting game and platforming adventure fans with the legendary, once
untouchable franchises of Megaman and Street Fighter. How far the mighty have
fallen indeed! Capcom's latest Megaman release is nothing more than a
lackluster re-release of Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8, Mega Man 9, and Mega Man
10. How about a new Megaman game Capcom, something fresh and innovative? Oh, my
mistake. This philosophy is Capcom's marketing strategy, a company that
has no problems reusing old elements until the paint begins to rot, and has no
issues screwing every one of their loyal fan bases to the breaking point. They
rest alongside Konami, SEGA, Rareware, and EA as examples of fallen giants of
the video game industry, where profits and quantity have replaced consumer
confidence and quality game releases. Nowhere is this disgraceful attitude more
present than in Capcom's biggest failure in over a decade, that being Street
Fighter V. Where to even begin with this awful game?
How about this! This "game" is an atrocity to the
legendary name of Street Fighter. No Arcade mode, no online working mode, only
16 playable characters and you just know, they will sell you the rest of the
game through DLC parasite packs to slowly drain a fool of their money in small
increments. A full middle finger to the entire fighting game community and the
worst Street Fighter release imaginable. Honestly, Street Fighter IV is one of
my favorite games, HOW DID CAPCOM ROYALLY SCREW UP THIS BADLY?!?!?The gameplay
is still in the vein of classic Street Fighter, but Capcom's unrepentant
consumer greed and shameless DLC plugging ruin any potential this game could
have had. All the characters should have been unlocked from the start because
the online mode is such a laggy bore fest, you won't even give a fuck about
playing it. Also, arcade mode is a shameful disgrace; it's so short and
pointless you will want to throw your controller against the wall within an
hour. Useless cutscenes and no challenge anywhere? An idle and dysfunctional
online mode? Nearly no new content, and overpriced DLC for what remains
included post-release? Fuck this game!!!
