Perfect example of a game company doing something so bad any tiny effort afterwards is treated as mana from heaven
well, not really that bad, and not so much with the mana but you know what I mean
I mean, it's the equivalent of "SIMS 4 WILL HAVE SINGLE PLAYER"
I don't want to be rude but who is saying that? The vast majority of the thread is butthurt fans who are fucking outraged that Capcom don't deliver it to their door tomorrow and kiss them on the cheek.
In the AAI2 threads people were
begging for a DD release. Begging. Now Capcom listen to Sven and say okay, the new game can be put up on DD since the 3DS store isn't a fucking piece of shit like it was when AAI2 came out.
After the XCOM re-reveal thread I am so fed up with gamer outrage, it has gone over the top lately. Be outraged at unfair shit. The Last Light thing is certainly on the line of being in poor taste but I can accept it due to the situation with the previous game, the context of the DLC mode AND the messy life of the game.
AA5 being released on DD is the equivalent of a foreign movie not having a localised DVD/Blu Ray release as it is a niche series that wouldn't cover the production costs of getting it into that market in physical form.
It seems the complaint is price. Which make it pretty obvious to me why Capcom doesn't have any faith in it selling at retail since everyone will wait for a $20 price point anyway which means Capcom will lose money.
$24 including postage, no email codes from Mighty Ape.
Of course I'll buy and play AA5 day one. I just won't be happy that I had to go the Nintendo Eshop route. Hopefully a $10 iOS version comes out like 6 months later.
AA6 will be out day one on JPN 3DS/iOS with a DD release outside if AA5 releases. Mark my words.
People outside of Japan didn't buy enough retail copies of the AA franchise. It is that simple.
Video game companies like to make money to survive.
