Capcom fans haven’t had the best of days as of late

Matt Hawkins Contributing Writer, Video Games

There are some game companies that have developed an intense and loyal following over the years, like Capcom. And there are those that have flushed all that good will down the toilet in record time. Like Capcom.

Instead of explaining all the latest blunders (a few from the past months might be familiar since I’ve touched upon them already), simply refer to this handy chart created by someone over at Reddit…

… The inability for current Marvel vs Capcom 3 owners to nab the new characters (which I assumed would be the case) is the biggest piece of b.s. Ever. Apparently Capcom is blaming the earthquake and tsunami? Umm, sure. Whatever dudes.

In large part, much of the current wrath has been due to the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3. A game that was designed to have much involvement with the fans as it pertains to putting stuff together… and got cancelled when they cited the lack of interest from fans. Which A. was b.s. cuz the diehards knew about the project and had been submitting ideas like crazy, and B. of course no one else cared, cuz Capcom hardly said a thing about the game to anyone else.

Then came word that Mega Man cosplayers were getting harassed at the Capcom booth at San Diego Comic Con, but that turned out to be false I believe. Though it would seem there’s still plenty of evidence pointing towards Mega Man hate.

I think the most obnoxious example of Capcom’s inability to act like any normal game company is from the SDCC again in which a producer asked everyone to hold up money to show whether there was indeed interest in a Darkstalkers sequel. First off, they did the same damn thing last year, which was cute, but in light of the Mega Man Legends 3 debacle (along with “okay, this time hold up bigger denominations please!” aspect), it’s just flat out obnoxious.

What'd you think of this?
