So, as you may or may not know, Capcom has been ripping gamers off for a long time now, Capcom has been deliberately trying to get a ton of extra cash from their games, they chopped up Resident Evil 5 and then ask you to pay again for the multiplayer mode. They are re-releasing Dead Rising 2 with a character change and one new area and are asking you to pay $40 for it, instead of $5.


They chopped up their Resident Evil 3DS games and are asking you to pay for the Story mode and Mercenaries mode separately, instead of including them in the same game like they should have, and at that, you need to buy a new copy of the game to play a new game, because the game has ONE save file that cannot be removed, just for you to get pissed off and not be able to buy the game used, Gamefly even removed Mercenaries from their site because it's not rentable. Because they don't profit from used games, that's like saying Nintendo and Bandai want a cut of a Sealed Stadium Events I want to sell that I bought 20 years ago, it's wrong and against what gamers need to play their games cheaply so they can buy other games.

They have released Street Fighter 4 how many times now? I've counted, 4. With simple updates and one or two extra features, that could have easily been cheap DLC for their games, I can picture Arcade edition being sold for 5-15 bucks on XBL or PSN, but no, because Capcom has not stopped ripping us off this entire generation. They have done so many stupid things in the past 5 years that make even their greatest fans quiver. I personally feel that this is too far, and someone needs to do something about this. If Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft won't, who will?

The people, that's who, because we are the consumers, the ones who buy their crap. I say we stop buying their stuff until they clean up their act and remove these cheap marketing ploys and gimmicks. Their tactics have shot their games between the eyes, and made them something you could possibly see AVGN talk about when these consoles become the new consoles he reviews.

Please post here with your thoughts and if you want to sign this petition/pledge not to buy Capcom games until they learn that gamers are the only reason they are around.

I've never really been a big Capcom person myself. I never really found their games that interesting excluding Megaman and Okami and Mad World because those games are great and to the best of my knowledge owned by Capcom. Video game companies have been doing this stuff for years. Think about it. Pokémon is the best example I can think of. They release 2 games at the same time that are relatively the same and to get everything unlocked you have to have both games, or know someone who has the other one. And then, they release another game that's the same as the first two but with only a few more tweaks. And after getting all those games, they then release a whole different set of 2 games and the cycle starts again.

I am in no way saying that its right for them to do that. Because its not. It sucks. But I don't think any petition or boycott of any kind will help the situation. People will still buy games because people like them and they know they have no other choice if they want to play the game. I know That the first chance I have money, I'm getting Okamiden because its a good game. I don't care if the company who makes it rips people off, because every company does and we cant do a thing about it. So yeah. That's how I feel about that.

dramabethie : I agree, companies have been doing this for a long time, Pokemon is a perfect example.

I feel the Capcom and Nintendo do the same thing, but at least Nintendo has some consideration for people who play the game.

I kinda like the super street fighter, it my 2nd capcom game, my first one happen to be Megaman X6 for ps1. I like Capcom, never knew that they are ripping off people like that. Maybe it because they running on low on money they need to do it to make another games.

Vizzed Ghostblood : As they make good games, they aren't good people. You pay the cost in their new games, because you can only have ONE save game, and it's permanent, so you can't sell it, that means story mode isn't usable when you beat the game once.

lots of companies have done stuff like that. From my understanding, the Street Fighter IV is just ports pretty much, and it's not like you have to buy every single port. The same goes with the DLC and the Resident Evil example. Now, I'm not a big supporter of DLC unless it's added on later and only like 99 cents and not being the second half of a game or something.
The fact is, even though it seems like they're ripping people off, I really don't see how that is unless you feel truly obligated to pay for and buy every single thing that they release, which, you're not. So, you can boycott them.

I'm sorry if I sound awful snarky. It's just that while I understand frustration like that, I don't think you really have to worry about buying that stuff. If it seems pointless, don't buy it. But, I do understand if you're like, "Whoa, this is totally awesome stuff, but they should've just put it in there in the original release. Why the heck didn't they do that?" That frustrates me a lot, too, and that's why I'm not a big fan of DLC and episodic releases that seem to be really popular nowadays... especially with Sonic 4.

Oh, and going on about that Pokemon example, I suppose it seems like they are trying to get more money, but it's also trying to encourage connectivity and playing with other players, which is pretty ingenious actually since the whole franchise is kind of all about that sort of thing.

I don't really care if they're still pulling the Street Fighter II trick(releasing new versions that are the exact same game) since I like the company's games. It's sad to know they wanted us ticked over Dante from Devil May Cry's design in the Ninja Theory Devil May Cry game, though. I have a feeling that one will turn out to be a love or hate game. I don't forgive EA for refusing to even sell the rights for Thrill Kill to any companies, but I still buy EA's games.

I'd rather buy the original version of a Capcom game unless a different version is actually better. I'm quite apathetic towards their Street Fighter II trick.

I must first mention that I despise DLC content because you get very little gameplay for a very high price. For example in Dragon Age Origins, you originally buy the game for 40-60$ and get 60+ hours of gameplay. Now if you buy only a couple of DLC you get about 5 hours of gameplay for 20$.
This can be said for just about any DLC. They should just combine all the DLC and release an expansion. All DLC does is show that the companies are more interested in profit than customer satisfaction.

Now in regards to what Capcom is doing, it isn't much better than the average company releasing DLC just to rip off customers. I was really lookin forward to RE on the 3DS, but as of right now the Mercenaries game would be a complete waste of money. Almost every review of the game said it isn't very long and gets boring fast. This coupled with the fact I can't buy it used means I will never buy that game. I do admit I am very interested in the RE game on 3ds with actual gameplay other than shooting zombies. As the original poster said, they should have just combined the two games.

I'm not going to boycott Capcom, but I refuse to buy any over priced garbage they push out the door.

I'm not a big fan of anything but their RPG games because I never got into RE and all that. Just don't buy what they produce because there's nothing that says you have to buy their products. Video games have never been a necessity and never will be.
That being said, don't expect your not buying Capcom games to do anything in the long run. There are plenty of idiots who like to blow their money on overpriced DLC.

Yeah, Capcom is making stupid moves. Now, I'm not into Street Fighter and stuff, but their flagship set of series, Mega Man, is getting hammered by them. They announce a cool looking game called Mega Man Universe, and then cancel it. Then they announce Mega Man Legends 3, get a whole slew of fans working for and towards it, and then they cancel it. Not smart at all.

With their recent announcement to shut down Mega Man Legends 3 that kind of put me over the edge. I think that they are going to end up like Square Enix, lost and alone in a pile of crap they call games.

alexanyways : To be fair, the street fighter thing isn't a recent development like most of your complaints. Street fighter 2 had what, 10 versions when all was said and done? So Capcom's been doing that one for a VERY long time. Here's what Capcom will release about 10 years from now:



But yeah, Resident evil 5 is a great case of when DLC could be used for good (they add new features to a game, actually developed later, not on the disk) and they instead re-release a game to GET MO MONEY! That's just greed to the max right there. While I can write an entire topic about how DLC rips stuff out of games and tries to charge you to re-insert it, this is the opposite problem, one that's been around since the 90s. Back then, they had an excuse - there was no way to go back into your Street Fighter 2 and turn it into Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for $5, but now there's no excuse at all for this.

We can add data to existing games now that game systems have the ability to download data for their games.

And what is it with game publishers and used games? Do you see movie studios slam down pawn shops for selling DVDs (or even VHS tapes)? Are used car dealers slammed for "stealing car sales" by car manufacturers? So why is it ok for Capcom to want to make money twice off of one copy of the same game? Actually, that's what EA does, Capcom does it even worse - they just flat out lock you from buying used. For whatever reason, they seem to believe that if used didn't exist, every used sale would be a new sale instead. Uh, no, if I was forced to pay full price for most games, I simply wouldn't buy the game at all. Some one that buys a used game (or even a pirate, but that's another topic) and enjoys the game might tell their friends, or even write a positive review of it on the Internet, causing more people to buy the game. Also, these people buying used can play online, increasing the number of online players and the value of it's online play.

But the biggest reason why I can't stand capcom is that they didn't release the squeal to the Miles Edgeworth game, despite the fact that they released the first one. I don't understand why any company wouldn't make the effort to release their games in as many markets as possible. This decision isn't even good from a business standpoint (along with canceling those Megaman games everyone wanted) - not releasing something people want and that would sell. Capcom is one fumble from being more hated than Activision... and that's saying something.

Personally, I hope Capcom starts selling their IPs off to non-evil companies. I'd rather see EA own Phoenix Wright or Megaman than them now, seeing they manage to ruin everything these days. Heck if I was rich, I'd buy them myself to protect my favorite games from the wrath of CRapcom.

In case the above wasn't clear enough, Capcom sucks.
alexanyways : To be fair, the street fighter thing isn't a recent development like most of your complaints. Street fighter 2 had what, 10 versions when all was said and done? So Capcom's been doing that one for a VERY long time. Here's what Capcom will release about 10 years from now:



But yeah, Resident evil 5 is a great case of when DLC could be used for good (they add new features to a game, actually developed later, not on the disk) and they instead re-release a game to GET MO MONEY! That's just greed to the max right there. While I can write an entire topic about how DLC rips stuff out of games and tries to charge you to re-insert it, this is the opposite problem, one that's been around since the 90s. Back then, they had an excuse - there was no way to go back into your Street Fighter 2 and turn it into Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for $5, but now there's no excuse at all for this.

We can add data to existing games now that game systems have the ability to download data for their games.

And what is it with game publishers and used games? Do you see movie studios slam down pawn shops for selling DVDs (or even VHS tapes)? Are used car dealers slammed for "stealing car sales" by car manufacturers? So why is it ok for Capcom to want to make money twice off of one copy of the same game? Actually, that's what EA does, Capcom does it even worse - they just flat out lock you from buying used. For whatever reason, they seem to believe that if used didn't exist, every used sale would be a new sale instead. Uh, no, if I was forced to pay full price for most games, I simply wouldn't buy the game at all. Some one that buys a used game (or even a pirate, but that's another topic) and enjoys the game might tell their friends, or even write a positive review of it on the Internet, causing more people to buy the game. Also, these people buying used can play online, increasing the number of online players and the value of it's online play.

In all honesty, Crapcom has been going down the toilet for a long time now. The only titles I care for is Resident Evil and Devil May Cry and they're getting pulled in the wrong directions. I'm not going to kidd myself, I'm going to purchase Resident Evil 6, because I now know there is no hope for Resident Evil Operation:Generic Shooter . Also, I feel for all the Megaman fans about Legends 3 and Universe getting cancelled. That was pretty low of Crapcom to do that and then blame the fans for not being too ''involved''. I guess it teaches us that some companies will sell out their fans and supporters for money

As much as I loved most of the games that Capcom has released, some of the stuff they have been doing over the past few years is annoying and actually kinda sad.

The truth is that Keiji Inafune himself has said that the Japanese development community as a whole is dying. A far cry from their heyday of 20 years ago when they made all the best games in the world. Now all of the best games are made in US or Europe.

Jordanv78 : I find it sad that nowadays the "best" games are all FPS most of the times. I know games like Elder Scrolls and Mine Craft exist and are really good games, but the Japanese games are just not doing anything that new anymore. I mean look at Mega Man, his 6 Nes games were the same gameplay mechanics and people kind of got tired of them so they made Mega Man X were it was fast paced, more things to do, Climb walls. Just watch this video it explains it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FpigqfcvlM

I really hate Capcom right now, because they put things on the disk and make you pay money for the stuff on the disk they locked. They don't make new things and then sell it, they make ahead of time put it on the disk and lock it, and then make you pay for the "key" to unlock it. I also hate how they cancelled Mega Man Legends 3 before they even released the Demo, when they said if the Demo did good and got sales on the 3DS shop they would continue on it. On Dead Rising 2 I thought the case Zero was alright as it added to your game later, but case West wasted my money as they could have made it DLC for Dead Rising 2 and make it cheaper. I'm Not buying anything from Capcom ever since MML3 was cancelled.
