Remember when the only way to get a game was to actually go down to a store and get it? Games actually got thoroughly playtested, since having a game-breaking glitch would mean the recall of thousands of discs/cartridges. The only expansion packs that were out were essentially completely new games, and they cost less than the original game.
I guess I'm just sick of paying money to be a beta tester. I'm sick of companies treating their consumers like criminals. I'm sick of brown and grit, but I'm also sick of "art games" and "retro-inspired" stuff.
Maybe I should just go back to playing old PC games.
You're really bummed about Simcity, eh?
remember when you bought a game and that was the whole game right there
adn then they more you played it the more stuff you unlocked

It kind of made me get a little bit nostalgic, yeah.
It's a shame there's no new mainstream PC games released that don't require some sort of integrated store/launcher thing. I guess it's really EA's problem, but Steam is a bit much for me too.
It's why I buy games off of GOG so much, even if they usually are older. They do get some new games, but they tend to be of the "indie" variety. There are still good new releases, and there's no DRM or bloated storefront.
Just a game.

Animal Crossing technically had on-disc DLC. You had to buy a GBA, e-Reader, and cards if you wanted some stuff.

there's a difference (albeit a small one) between bonuses for owning related games/products and paying for those bonuses directly
also it was really easy to unlock all the secret poop by looking up catalog codes or whatever
and yes intercourse modern games. i mean i hate how elitist that sounds, but really i've mostly given up the hobby for the last few years and i coudn't be happier.

there was a time where Capcom didn't suck poop
that's a memory I have of them
and if you still think Capcom is a good company then you'll never become a writer for destructiod because you've missed out on important news and incredibly stupid decisions they've made like 12 times in a row now

remember resident evil
what a fun game
how'd they even mess that one up
remember megaman
what happened to that dude
remember when they were going to make another legends game
that was cool
remember when the put box art megaman in street fighter x tekken as a intercourse you to people complaining about wanting to see more of their mascot
that wasn't very cool of them
remember when devil may cry was an over the top action game and not full of teen angst and dante's dialog completely becoming "hey intercourse u vagina i'm edgy"
also remember when it had lock on and getting an S felt great and not something that happened naturally every 30 seconds
also remember when it was actually difficult and didn't need gimmicks like "omg when u die once you gotta start the whole thing over" to feel that way
remember when games came complete and they didn't have the on disc dlc like in resident evil 5 and every fighting game they've ever made
remember "lol this is the final perfect version of street fighter iv" and it was fine but then they continued to release more versions rip my wallet
pepperidge farm remembers
Remember the Alamo?

Hey man with an attitude like that we'll never make it as Kotaku Gaming Journalists™
That reminds me. I remember when Kotaku was actually good, like a few months after it launched. What the hell happened? When did they go from an interesting blog to the posterboy for everything wrong with tabloid gaming "journalism?"

Capcom has made some of my favorite games of the generation. Resident Evil: Revelations, Super Street Fighter 4 3D, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Sengoku Basara, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles...
Notice how none of those games were Megaman? Or an actual survival horror game?
Best game this generation is Final Fantasy XIII.

Because his taste is poop. And Revelations is the closest thing to a survival horror RE that we've had in years man
.
Mega Man 9 was easily the best downloadable game in 2008. Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent are easily two of the best DS games despite not selling well.

Actually I have the Megaman Anniversary collection.......
That is a disappointing series. sadbot;
And I don't really consider survival horror to really be an actual genre. Rather, games have different degrees of action and horror in them.

do you have a disability? please tell us if you do because that would make everything you post make sense and be okay
we'd also be a lot nicer to you because we'd understand where you're coming from
but when you post things like this without any context about yourself it just makes you seem like you lack the basic intelligence needed to post on a forum.
Context on myself has nothing to do with clarifying your post.
i'm going to teach you how to post on forums
when you say something like "i have a game" in the first line of your post
and i quote it and in the first line of my post say "yeah probably on this console"
that means i'm saying you probably have that game on that console
in this case the game being megaman anniversary collection and the console being gamecube
But the collection is on the PS2 and Xbox too.

He's having a discussion, and raised a valid point about how you're (probably) intentionally being thick and missing context clues.
But he doesn't explain himself. He just calls me an idiot without reason.

It's because you're an idiot.

Something that I just remembered: I remember walking through the mall like ten years ago, and there was a guy at a kiosk that tried to stop my family. He wanted to sell us an N-Gage. I remember that he was throwing in a ton of games and a subscription plan, basically begging us to buy one. I walked away and then laughed. I had played one of the demos EB Games had set up and wasn't impressed.
Now I own one. It's an incredibly strange system to play.
