Boycotting Capcom

For those who don't know, Capcom has announced that they are cancelling MegaMan Legends 3. This is along side the earlier canceling of MegaMan Universe.

They also appear to have screwed up Devil May Cry, and are already releasing an update to the recent MvC3 and another game on the Street Fighter 4 engine "because now it has Tekken characters in it." Oh, and while it looks fun, SFxT is going to be considered it's own vs. series so it's probably going to get $40 updates too.

Well fuck them. They don't want to give me the games I want, I'm not going to buy other games from them. I don't have the money to keep buying updates to every single fighting game at this point, and DMC looks like shit. Also, no, it's not just Dante's design that makes it look like shit, the whole direction of the trailer is pretentious, his movements look awkward at best, and it looks like the flow of the game will be shit, which is par for the course with Ninja Theory.

Until MegaMan Legends 3 or a truly, truly groundbreaking MegaMan game comes out I'm not buying another Capcom game. Even then I'll never buy the first version of a fighting game from them again, because I know another will come out in a year.

Capcom, while I love many of your series know that your brand name is now going to be like cancer to any game you put it on for me. Hopefully other fans will do the same and you'll realize how much of a pile of douches you've all been once your get rich quick scheme goes down the toilet and fans keep clamoring for MegaMan. The next time you have an idea for a kickass MegaMan game wait until you're sure you aren't going to cancel it before getting our hopes up.
