I mean, the RE4make let you buy weapon upgrades with cash, DMC 5 let you just buy all the currencies in game directly, I don't even know where to begin with Monster Hunter World's microtransactions. It's shitty, but Capcom does this in literally all of their games now, so absolutely you'll see dumb mtx in RE9 and Monster Hunter Rise.

I saw someone calling Capcom "Japan's EA"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's almost too harsh. The one positive thing you can say on the matter is that Capcom isn't running around shuttering development of games to lay-off developers in order to manufacture like 3 points of profit. The Western AAA games industry is fucking disgusting in their greed, the Eastern AAA industry is just kinda confusing.

Except Konami, they can stay fucked forever.

Yup, Konami is the true “EA of Japan”. Fuck them.

We much as it breaks my heart to say it. Japan’s EA is Square with out any doubt.

Weird thing is no one went and review bombed DMC 5. It's still talked up as being one of the best hack and slashes. Re4 was continuously talked up as game of the year. If people are going after DD2 then be fucking consistent towards other games too.
