The more I hear about Battlefield 3 the less I want it. A couple of impressions of what DICE showed at the EA summer showcase mentioned that they added COD style twitch shooting in sections of Rush mode. Essentially imagine if you and your team just destroyed the other teams, whatever it will be, and then the next section of the map takes place in a tight corridor like environment which tailors to COD style twitch shooting. I was always under the impression that DICE was making the stupid decision to add game modes for that style of play and leaving the traditional Battlefield play style alone. This strategy has me worried. I'm worried that by trying to make a game for everyone they end up making a game no one likes.

@Skogen: So why not, I dunno, patch it? This generation of consoles supports that.

I see a lot of people comparing MK to MVC3 with pricing. I'll defend MK on there pricing. A new character is like buying a map pack in a shooter. A new character means new moves, new animations, new fatalities, and so one. I know it seems like a lot but considering that their DLC characters are not clones I'm willing to give them a pass on it. Also MK is a much better game than MVC3. When you put the whole package together it blows away what you got with MVC3 both in single player and online.

@mikey87144: You thought versus mode in RE5 was a "fiasco"? It was $5 and no one made you buy it. The 3DS save file thing was also blown way out of proportion by the internet. Anyway, I bought MvC3 when it came out and never really liked it much. I don't care for its high-level play and how a character dies in one combo that you can't get out of. So I won't be bothering with UMvC3.

The 3DS save file thing was properly evaluated by the internet. Why make an un deletable save for your game? No one else does that? Plus they lied about it afterward. The RE5 thing was just wrong. You finish a mode for a game, a mode that sucked in fairness, but instead of just giving it to your fans you put it behind a pay wall after your fans spend $60 on the game. It rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

Capcom's latest excuse: http://www.destructoid.com/japan-disaster-led-to-disc-only-release-of-ultimate-mvsc3-206639.phtml

That makes no fucking sense. So after modding the code, cause that's what it is, modding and adding to the existing code, it's a lot easier to manufacturer the discs, print the manuals and ship the game to retailers!? Really? That's easier than just putting the code on PSN/XBLA for people to download at their leisure? Wow.

There are now reports out were Capcom has confirmed that the only way to play MVC3 ultimate edition is to buy the $40 version that comes out this November. I'm sorry but how many times does Capcom have to pull this BS before people rightfully refuse to buy their games?

The Resident Evil 5 fiasco was the start of it were they expected us to pay $5 for a mode already on the disc. Then there was Super Street Fighter 4. They admitted after they announced it that they can't pull the same stuff they did in the 90s because people now expect the get updates as DLC. It seemed that they learned their lesson with the announcement of Arcade edition. For $15 you got the new version of it. However they weren't done with these questionable moves. The RE game on 3DS had a permanent save system were you couldn't erase the data and now this BS with MVC3. In the same calender year they expect you to pay $40 on top of the $60 most of you already paid for MVC3. It really couldn't be done as an update, Capcom? You mean to tell us that you didn't think this was a possibility? I'm outraged and I didn't purchase the game at launch. To the ones who paid $60 for MVC3 how do you guys feel about this?

Apparently the FBI has arrested 16 members of the group while 1 was caught in the UK and another 3 in The Netherlands.

Kanto had the best Pokemon but the best game was the Johto one.

It'll be out either later this year or next year.

I don't know this but given the attention Bastion is getting it seems like it will eventually come out. Remember the devs of Limbo said that game was never coming out for any other platform.

Don't people just rip blu-rays now? Anyway this doesn't really affect any of us unless you're planning on buying a PS3 in August to use as a blu-ray player. Sony said games and streaming content will be unaffected. This seems like one of those stories that people get angry at because they want to be angry.
