    Default Oh, CRAPcom.

    http://dvice.com/archives/2011/06/capcom-tries-to.php

    Okay, what both THQ/EA and WB(With Mortal Kombat) did is nothing compared to this. One thing is selling an incomplete game by taking out online features unless you pay 10 bucks. But one-save for life? Forever? Meaning if you bought your game new, you will never, ever be able to replay your game at all...Punishing those who bought it new as well?

    Another fail by CRAPcom.

    This is insane. Why in the world would I only want to play a game once and only once. I can't imagine playing Bioshock 2 one time and never again. I replay it constantly and pick up on things I missed the previous times. Sure it's to keep people from buying it used. However people can't afford to dish out $59.00 for a brand spankin new release all the time.

    This is like trying to play Super Mario Bros. But you only get 10 lives. after you die 10 times that's it no more game play for you.

    This isn't what it's like at all. Anyone who thinks that this is such a horrible thing clearly doesn't understand the nature of the game being released. ^^;;

    Then how do YOU understand it.

    Basically what Capcom has done is make Mercenaries 3D a one-time play affair. Once you've unlocked all the goodies and played the entire game, you will not be able to erase the game's save data and start fresh as if it were a new copy. Consider this: lending Mercenaries 3D to a friend, a little brother or sister will be worthless because they'll only be able to continue playing the game with your saved settings and create their own.
    Thus meaning I can only play something like bioshock once. If I want to go over my already saved data......too bad...........................

    Have you ever played The Mercenaries? Even a single time? It sure doesn't seem so.

    How The Mercenaries works is essentially like this: pick a character, pick a stage, select your loadout (a new feature in this release), and battle it out against the clock to see how many enemies you can kill. This is NOT a story-based game like Bioshock; there is literally next to NO progress the player can make next to (potentially) unlocking characters and stages. You are NOT going to buy a used game only to have a save file be on the final boss fight - there simply is no such thing.

    Please do not 'dislike' my posts simply because you are too ignorant to understand why you may be wrong. And believe me, you ARE wrong.

    People don't understand is not about reselling your game but rather not being able to play it again ever again.

    Well I'd imagine you can replay it. Like you can replay Super Mario world because it saves everything. But lets say you beat it and so you leisurely play your favorite levels for about 5 years. Well with super mario world you get 3 save slots. Perhaps you want to keep the slot where you beat it so you can play your most favorite level ever that happens to be at the end of the game. But at the same time you want the challenge of going through the game from square one again. Too bad. So if you try to sell it. You'll sell what you've already done and there is no way for the second person to come along and restart it.

    I can dislike what I please. And I think I'm right. They are applying this to try to target the used game markets. IF people buy into this then they will apply it to more games in which the game play isn't like mercenaries but is a story game. Don't think they won't. You're the ignorant one who doesn't understand how companies work.

    But this isn't Super Mario World. In every game, once you get everything unlocked(working to acquire every item), there's nothing much to do so you would like to restart it.

    Also Blue is right.....EA did the 10 bucks pass and THQ followed. Or the other way around.

    @UmJammerEri See, I do support the cause of stopping used game sells(we had a thread about it), but when it involves the customer who bought it at first hand then it's a problem.

    She is right. About that.

    The simple fact is that used game sales are hurting the industry. We don't seem to be getting that message, so developers and publishers need to figure out a way to put a stop to them.

    Read my above post. Also, it has been proved that used games hurt the industry more than piracy.

    What you don't understand is that we are somewhat on the same page, we both don't approve of the used game sell industry but what I am complaining about is what Capcom is doing, they could simply jump the bandwagon of what EA/THQ and WB has done.

    But you're talking as this only applies/will apply for Mercenaries. This will apply for the following games to come, some way or another.

    You're causing trouble because it kinda-sorta looks like there is the potential to be an issue. There is no issue in this case; you really shouldn't try to create one.

    No, I should be concerned because it's a potential issue indeed. If it already proves to be a bad idea, is already an issue at hand...because it will mostly likely apply for future games.

    But it hasn't. It would be one thing to be angry if this actually had a major effect on the game; this game is entirely Mercenaries, not being able to delete data in it is a non-issue.

    Not only that, but Capcom now has a record of correcting past mistakes and apologizing; look at the Street Fighter PC issue.

    And how ironic that you would say that I don't understand how a company works. Not only does my family own our own business, you seem to display a complete and total lack of understanding on how the video game industry works. The entire industry.

    Used game sales
    do not generate any money for the companies involved in making/publishing software. Therefore, used game sales, as they are much more common/mainstream than piracy, are just as bad (if not worse than) piracy. Companies need money to run. But of course you knew that, right? I'm the ignorant one.

    Well Piracy = illegal... Buying something used = legal... So how is it just as bad.. and if not worse than piracy? And well you can pay for overpriced games all you want then. But I'll continue to buy mine used. And you're family owns a business. So? You could just be saying that and have no involvement. Mine owns one too. Big deal. You're not the CEO of Google or anything. Hardly anything worth bragging about it's probably some local store.

    PC games are turning into being it just as bad. The DRM on games is going to end up requiring all PC games to be verified over the internet by the companies servers, at all times. Single player or multiplayer. Internet goes down, you can't play to prevent you pirating them etc. Funny because I play most of my PC games on a computer that has no internet connectivity as to save space on this laptop.

    When you turn a blind eye to things is when stuff gets nasty then there's chaos. Like internet capping for instance. And how AT&T plans to charge people for how much internet you use etc. turn a blind eye and the other companies might follow.. Say something about it and other companies might realize hey.. that's a bad idea.

    They could just be reasonable and contact places like games for less. Gamestop. Play n trade. And each time they sell a used game give a small percentage of the profit back to the company that deserves it. But of course that is such a hassle. :| So why not ruin peoples gameplay instead.

    @UmJammerEri Yeah, this is kinda a big issue. Companies are constantly screwing fans over. Even if the game just has unlockable characters there's still a massive issue to be had. Doing something to combat the used game industry or piracy wont work. In this case they just screwed themselves out of potential sales. The game will not sell. I can guarantee that. People don't like being messed with and pushed around. It's our money we choose to spend. Once the product is paid for by us and in our hands it should be ours to do with as we please. This is obviously within legal parameters. I don't care if it's just potential or not. Potential is just as bad as it's actually an issue. And there has to be something more to it if they do this.

    It is a big issue if applied across the spectrum. It does not effect this game what-so-ever if you are not able to delete save data. Complaining about THIS GAME as opposed to THE ISSUE IT'S SELF is what I'm trying to get through here.

    The game can't be ignored as it's what this problem stems from. So take care of a problem you need to take care of the source. That's true in any situation whether it's games, love, health, etc.

    HERE COMES PAPA SCRUFFY.

    @UmJammerEri has said several times that the idea itself is not a good thing. I think we can establish that now. What she's arguing is that Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D [which I think will be terrible but that's just me xD] is not a game that is heavily dependent on multiple saves. Which is completely true. It's not a single-player oriented game and I'm almost certain you'd be able to replay levels/missions after you've unlocked everything. The only downside is you would not be able to start from complete scratch, that is resetting your game and re-unlocking everything.

    Now, the idea itself is something that I'm sure Capcom realizes would have a negative reaction from fans in a game such as Okami which is purely single-player. I don't even think they would risk it with a main Resident Evil game, or a Street Fighter game, as those are extremely important franchises to them with lots of fan support.

    ..aside from this issue, I would like to say that I haven't been happy with Capcom recently. They've been milking us for cash. Charging $39.99 for SSF4AE which adds...four new characters, and is ridiculously unbalanced. I think it's a bit pricy and something that could have been released cheaper. My main problem is with Marvel vs Capcom 3 though. $1 per Shadow Pack [which should be free IMO], $5 for Jill and $5 for Shuma-Gorath, and also they charged the full $69.99 price for a game that doesn't have any replay mode or tournament mode. I think we're getting overcharged. When you consider Capcom's DLC and pricing models, and with this Mercenaries 3D news, they may be hurting a bit and as a result are looking to secure some financial security. Unfortunately it's at our expense. :/

    Mhm, I really don't think that anyone can say that Capcom isn't milking it's devoted fanbase. The problem is that they're really the pioneers of the DLC-method of solving the used sales crisis; go ahead and buy used, but look at all these shiny new features you have to pay for!

    You can't blame them for trying, but I really wish (and I have a strong feeling that I speak for everyone when I say this) that they could come up with something that doesn't hurt us to help them.

    About Super Street Fighter IV AE, it shouldn't be cheaper as it includes the old version and the new version that includes the arcade balance. With that being said, the DLC alone cost 15 bucks so it's a 40 + 15 value together, but they are selling it for 40 bucks for both, still not a bad deal.

    What they done with MvC3 is lame though, but the other items are optional to get. But I do agree that the idea of DLC sucks as mostly everything that they charge us for should be free of cost.

    I still think it's infringing our copyrights. When we buy something we buy the copyright to use it as we please within legal means. But if you take away the ability to start from scratch then what the heck? It better be a 10 dollar game at most.

    While Mercenaries isn't the type of game that makes a difference if you start from scratch. At least the option should be there not stripped from you.

    Gamertag: pieRESURRECTED

    Default Re: Oh, CRAPcom.

    first off let me say that i agree with most of what UmJammerEri is saying.

    the issue at hand does NOT affect the game in question, so.......what's the problem??
    as of this moment, there is no problem, because the game doesn't need the save file.

    some of you are just acting like conspiracy theorists.
    i HIGHLY doubt the gaming industry would be dumb enough to implement this saving system, on a game where the saves actually matter.
    especially when there are much easier ways to combat used sales, AND everyone knows that replay value is important.

    for example (AND THIS IS ALREADY BEING DONE)
    the whole "online pass code" thing.
    basically, when you buy a new game, you get a code to go online with that game. if you sell the game, someone else can't use your code.
    so they need to buy a new code (about $5-15) from the developers in order to get online.
    simple easy fix that shouldn't get anyone mad..... that is, as long as the person thinks they should PAY for merchandise :P

    article about it here:http://www.gametastrophe.com/index.p...news&Itemid=58
    this makes MUCH more sense and WILL be the wave of the future. i truly believe that the whole save file thing is just a one time fluke that most of you are reading waaaaaaay to much into.

    P.S. saying that used game sales don't hurt the industry is absurd!
    also, using an excuse like "well it doesn't hurt as much as piracy, because it's legal" is even more absurd!
