May have missed this, but what "crap" has WB done that Capcom hasn't done 20x worse at one point?
*not a fanboy post, honestly curious as a fan of both*
I am just gonna use games which I have played as a fair comparison:
I am a PC gamer btw. Also all negative things I found are based on my opinion/experience.
WB side:
1. Social handling of MK9. Since the release of MK9 on consoles we had an "amazing" time of getting trolls/jokes and false hopes regarding MK9 PC port. Ed Boon made sure of that. Now, ok we could say this is childish to take it as a bad thing, but.. after finally getting MK9 on PC and getting the most ludicrous issues on it. It was really insulting.
But ok. I was just happy to play the game. I mean it worked fine, apart frame drops in Cemetery, missing maps in Arcade, whole Krypt being unlocked for some reason (which just killed the fun of unlocking stuff) and unplayable online.
2. We received proper patches for MK9 only A WHOLE year after MK9 pc port release. And right after MKX announcement. Coincidence? Of course not.
3. MKX promises. Short version
Enough said.
4. Couldn't play MKX at all for couple of weeks. Game is still not fixed and has annoying issues. Game is dead for me at least.
5. Batman Arkham Knight. But hey at least I was able to beat it.
Capcom side:
1. The most idiotic dlc policies. If people thought that Goro DLC was an outrageous act against gaming community, then they didn't saw what CAPCOM is capable of.
2. Hmmmm... can't remember anything worse. I mean their games (which I played) work fine. PC Ports rarely had any issues and if they had any, they were patched ASAP. Street Fighter 4 is a shining example. Oh yeah Asura Wrath... amazing game. No issues EXCEPT THE GODDAMN ENDING DLC. But that goes for first section.
So if I were to say. WB releases pc ports which don't work, lie to us to such extent (I mean at this point everyone lies, but there is an acceptable level of bullsh%t and then we have WB levels). You buy a game and you can't even play it properly or play it at all and just waste your time and money. I am glad Batman had an option to be refunded this time at least. But those who bought MKX... lol. Have fun.
To be honest if there was no refund policy on steam, then Batman might have stayed on steam store and we would get the same treatment as Batman Origins. Which was basically "we have no time for fixes, we work on dlc's"
CAPCOM are shady mofos as well (that is the reason why they are on edge of being Bankrupt), but at least all the games i played worked. Their PC ports work. I don't have to worry that I will need to wait a whole year or for another installment in series to get a patch for my CURRENT game. In short we have two evils.
WB will tell you game is gonna be mind blowing, it will be awesome, it will be godlike. If you're on console good for you. But if you're on PC, you gonna get leftovers, you gonna have crap, you won't even be able to enjoy it.
CAPCOM will show you that game is gonna be awesome (they aren't really social people), they gonna drop your jaw. But then will find a way how to make you pay for all those damn DLC's. But the game will work. It will work on PC. It will have a nice or even FAN-F$%KIN-TASTIC (sf4) netcode and you will enjoy of what you have at least.
In this case I choose Capcom. I tried trusting Netherrealm/WB. But after MKX... ain't buying sh%t from them. MK11 can be all awesome, and all amazing game for all I care. But I ain't gonna give a crap unless I somehow get "refunded" for all that crappy MKX/MK9 experience. And knowing that I am just like everyone else, just another customer for them, just cements the fact that they lost my and many others Trust forever.
For this reason I trust that Street Fighter 5 is gonna be amazing. Also the fact that CAPCOM is in danger, I guarantee they gonna put all of their effort in quality.
