Yesterday I was checking my mobile games list, and was surprised to see at least 3 of them shutting down (two of them remain on the PlayStore but downloading them takes you to infinite loading screens, which is a slap in the face), another changing servers and deleting all my progress, and yet another just deleting all my progress for no reason given. Those are the kinds of devs and publishers I'd save my "screw you" for...
If i said ive been playing this game since early 2020 that means no, im not a global player and yes, ive made a lot of progress and achievements, why should i pay 30 dollars for a version with less features focused on singleplayer stuff that i already completed?
Think as someone that has been playing the game since the start, why should they buy the game if they have already experienced the whole game they are making you pay for now?
Like, how would the people that spent a lot of money into the game would feel? Thank God i never spent money on this game
And i wasnt only saying "screw you Capcom" for this, i was saying in general, they making the prices of new and older games go to the skies, treating old games as new just so they make more money, not caring about regional prices and neglecting all of Megaman series except for the main one and many more stuff
But thanks
Seh, nomas se dejan llevar por la plata, sin importar la comunidad le guste o no pero con como son algunos, va a gustarles por mas de que les caguen en un plato y se lo hagan comer
I find it funny that people that want to badmouth a game and trying to justify their logic with many awards came from alt accounts are always this stupid.
Another Veteran player here (I played since day one). If you enjoyed the Online version, you already got what you wanted. I mean, every online game reaches EOS at some point. With every penny or hour we spent, it was for the experience, will knew it would be gone someday.
This Offline version is aimed at people who didn't like the gasha/always online aspect - also for preservation of the game (something most companies don't give a sh*t about, and they went out of their way to do).
Would it be nice if Online's players got some kind of reward or could preserve their data? Of course. But does it really matter? The game will be offline now, so at some point save editors may be available.
My excuses for not taking into account you were playing the version that was shutting down. Must strengthen my re-reading skills to not anger people even more than they are.
Now, I can say that from personal experience, these mobile games last only a few years. In my specific case, the games I have been coming on and off to, have lasted from 3 to 4 years. There may be some games that last more, and some that last less, or maybe I myself am drawing the short end of the stick and playing only the short lived games. But, it has trained me to not take these games for granted.
This game has faced the same fate. Once they stop being very profitable, they run the risk of being shut down. So in short, your game was going to go regardless of the $30 single player game or not. You were going to lose your progress and your access no matter what, because that's what's been happening with any of these kinds of games that are not very profitable.
This can all be frustrating. I'm also on edge at all this. Not only at Capcom, but at the whole industry that has replaced almost all of the passionate devs of old with greed at it's purest level. Gone seem to be the days of buying a full game for a fixed price and just playing it. At least that seems to be the case with most famous franchises and the so called AAA games.
On the other hand, this game's $30 single player version is an exception to the norm of mobile online games shutting down and leaving forever. It is indeed bad that those who poured effort and/or money into the online version will lose all of that. I know because I have lost plenty of characters that I honestly liked to this shenanigans. I also understand if some see this as a slap in the face instead of a last offering. But at least the way I see it, this offline version ensures that what I create will survive for a bit longer than a server at the mercy of some corporate head with the off switch next to his bed.
In the end, I'm not here to convince you. You are free to think the way you do, and I respect that. All I wanted was to show another perspective. Then again, I'm not preordering the game. I'll check reviews when players do get it, and see if it's worth the $30, or if it's best waiting for a sale later on.
That Capcom went out of their way to turn the game into an offline version to preserve it is actually quite commendable as i think the games art assets alone deserve that.
I hope you learned a lesson here:
Don't put your time into F2P games if you aren't ready to see that investment vanish into nothing one day.
free to play is almost always certainly not.
they gotta make money on it some how.
so they make earning things a slow, tedious grind you'd have to invest a lot of your time on.
ooor you can shell out money that adds up to make instant progress.
it being offline means earning things will be much faster. and everything is likely balanced around a single player game.
i dont know if 30 bucks is different in other countries, but here? it's a steal for a complete game vs one you download for free but quickly realize itll only be fun if you invest either a lot of money or a lot of time on.
you also should know gacha games wont last forever. and that gacha games going offline means your progress will likely go up in smoke. at LEAST with the offline version your progress is: faster, less grindy, AND. AND. you get to keep your progress long-term.
i understand this might feel like a slap in the face. but its the fault of the gacha game industry and NOT necessarily just capcom. live service games will crumble, and all youll be left with are the memories. at the VERY least they are preserving it for new players or those jaded by the initial game.
plus you can use mods, cheat engine, etc to get back any lost progress qucker.
moral of the story: get games thatll last, that you can come back at any time, and dont waste your time on something like a gacha game thatll go up in smoke a few years later.
