I was right all along (F@$K you still, Capcom.)

I've mentioned it before.

But now we have the icing on the asshole cake that is Capcom.

That's right. That versus mode for RE5 was on the disc all along.

Yup. Charging money for a basic game mode wasn't enough for them. They are charging money for a basic game mode that was on the disc to begin with.



Dickholes.

why all the hate for Capcom?

It's Namcai's fault for starting the increase of this mess? Everybody Katamary? Tales of Vespira? SOOOOUL CALIBURRR 4!!!!?

@Shin Oni:

Capcom gets my hate because they are an industry leader. Sure, other companies have pulled bullshit DLC before. But charging for a basic game mode that games have always included for free is taking it to a whole new level. Now that we know they are charging for something on the disc to begin with, that's even more insulting.

And Capcom is doing this with the most highly anticipated game of 2009.

That means this vs. mode will sell. And that will set a bad precedent for the rest of the industry. As I said in my original post, who knows what kind of nickle and diming this will lead to.

glad i never got RE5. because they will never have a DLC to fix the controls.
JamnOnTheOne's Destructoid Blog
This is another example of why being a lemming and supporting for pay DLC is a bad thing.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
This shouldn't have surprised anyone. I mean majority of the DLC these days is ALREADY on the disc. Especially Capcom's.
Corak's Destructoid Blog
In the back of my mind I kinda knew it was going to be this way but I was hoping it wasn't. If I didn't enjoy the game as much as I am I don't think I would have sprung for this, definatly not if it was $10-15. But I did and I like it /hidesincorner. Should it have been on the disc? Yea most likely. But for $5 I'm diggin it.

Come on, it's only five bucks.
I know that not the point, but what can you do?!
It's not like Capcom is charging for alternate outfits and characters...
My friends and I are having a blast playing it, through the yelling and screaming. It's frustrating fun, if that makes sense. It's almost silly at times... Sidestepping a point blank magnum round! =)
If you don't like it, don't buy it, son.

[i]"Come on, it's only five bucks.

Buy a different game?

"If you don't like it, don't buy it, son."

I don't know if I don't like it, I've never played it.

If they really thought that the mode deserved a separate purchase from RE5, then I think it would have made more sense if they sold it as a stand alone XBLA/PSN title that could complement the retail version in some way.
Artemus's Destructoid Blog
Trust me, I wish Capcom would have just included the mode...
One thing to understand, video games are a business, plain and simple.
Although that doesn't mean we have to like the practices, but it is a business.
DLC is the newest way for companies to make more money... Period.
DLC isn't going away anytime soon, much to our chagrin.

@Artemus:

It's ok that you like the vs. I'm not saying don't buy it.

It's just that is setting a terrible precedent for developers to continue to hold back game modes and charge for them. Game modes that have always been free. That blows.
Artemus's Destructoid Blog
@Sicknasty
I agree with ya, man...
It's a terrible practice that isn't going away, if anything it will get worse!

 about me

I was raised on the Commodore and 386 computers, and then Sega Genesis. Thus my gaming identity was formed by a steady diet of Shareware(one word: Apogee), floppy disks, and rented Genesis games.

From there I went into the pupae stage with the Saturn and Nintendo 64, emerging from my cocoon with an Xbox.

These days, my time is spent on my 360 and Dreamcast. My PSP mostly finds use as an awkward mp3 player.

I work in advertising in NYC. As a graduate of PSU, when I'm not playing games or murdering vagrants, I'm following college football(JoePa is my religion)
