Capcom has taken heavy fire from gamers upset with the publisher’s tendency to ship some of its games with on-disc downloadable content. Physical copies of games like Dragon’s Dogma and Street Fighter X Tekken ship with content that you can only access if you dish out extra for the privilege.
We’ve been circumspect about Dragon’s Dogma, which is coming May 22 from Capcom. Totilo and Chris Person, the site’s video editor, have grown attached to it despite also calling it “one very messy, clumsy game, full of bad dialogue, cumbersome menus and annoying supporting characters.” But there are legitimately good qualities, they insist; this simply isn’t so-bad-it’s-good irony.
Four infinite combinations discovered last month in Street Fighter X Tekkenall will be obliterated by a patch scheduled to move by mid-May, Capcom said yesterday afternoon.
Here at Kotaku, we’ve fallen in love with the possibly-broken-but-who-cares-because-it’s-awesome video game Dragon’s Dogma. We have hopped on the bandwagon despite or because this is the kind of game that lets you fight a goblin who asks “who let the dogs out?”
Even though the PS Vita could really use a Monster Hunter game, the next spin-off instalment in Capcom’s monster hit series is PSP bound.
Whenever a new game or demo hits, Japanese gamers love to fire up the character creator and see which celebrities they can reproduce. So when the Dragon’s Dogma demo it, that’s exactly what they did.
