Great Job Crapcom! Megaman Legends 3 and Prototype officially cancelled.

[Dr Mario]

True. You can't even call 2 broken. That'd imply it actually worked at some point.

[Quiji]

Anyone who can say MvC3 is as broken as 2 clearly has NO idea what they're talking about.

Seriously this. MvC2 may of have twice the amount of character, but you could tell the balancing was horrible and they tried way harder on certain characters than others. MvC3 has some weird parts, but even comparing it to 2 is just exaggerating, at the least.

EDIT: And the whole thing about Capcom hating, people just overreact to everything. I'm disappointed that there won't be a Legends 3, but it isn't heart shattering. It's just a fucking video game, get over it. A business has to have business in mind, even if it doesn't make much sense to others. As far as PC gamers, I mean the market for PC games in Japan is nothing. The closest Capcom is gonna get to PC games is outsourcing the work to other companies like Ubisoft. Their main market in Japan, with the many fighters and arcade games. In fact, I'm surprsied about some of the games that even come over to PAL/NTSC, because they don't sell well at all.

MvC 2 does work. It's an ok game. Except in high level play, at which point it becomes about 4-6 characters, who are picked because they are overwhelmingly better than everyone else with their options (while possibly having an infinite). Of course, most of us can't play anywhere near that level, but we've all seen high level play and can only squirm in terror. Honestly, the problem is that most of the cast is bugfuck boring with no real options (oh man, I love you Colossus), and while they worked in the games they were introduced in, they generally were just ripped out wholesale without a shit given to balance. And I mean WHOLESALE. FUCKING MORRIGAN.

lol. MvC3 isn't as broken, since they gave all the characters 3 hypers, but its pretty much just, Dante, Sentinel, Filler Character.

It's good to see that not everyone here is a big baby.

[luffy4]

i usually use Zero tron and dante, with sometimes subbing 1-2 of them for trish, ametarasu, joe

Crapcom!

When I read that Legends 3 was canned, I was surprised, but not too surprised. For years, I've known that Capcom doesn't want my money; no X9, no Breath of Fire 6, not even a BoF compilation so I can get a decent copy of 4 without having to sell my soul, making Star Force (just a reskinned Battle Network, which I hated), completely ignoring PC gamers when it came to MM9 and MM10, and just hating PC gamers in general.

I guess I'm seriously just NOT Capcom's type of customer because I don't give a damn about fighting games, shooting zombies and I lack a PS3/360/Wii so I can't play their stupid download only titles because they hate PC gamers.

I agree about MM9 and MM10, but Star Force? Obviously people did like the Battle Network games, since they made 6 of them (8 if you count Battle Chip Challenge and Network Transmission), and the transition to Star Force was because of a change of platform (DS instead of GBA) - the alternative was more MMBN re-releases - MMBN5 had already come out on DS, and MMBN1 did as well (Japan only) after Star Force finished. They need to do something new with that continuity IMHO (probably on the 3DS) - maybe chronicle Patch Hikari's adventures - his Navi could be MegaManX.EXE, and it could reference Star Force by showing the events from the hidden Diary entries in Star Force 2 (one of which involved Lan inventing a way for others to bond like Lan and Megaman.EXE - the Brotherbands from the Starforce series).

lol you must have all heard of the Capcom drama I had where I had to threaten legal action against em to get them to reset my SecuROM DRM Activations

Ill be honest though, I cant join in on you lots Mega Man rage mostly due to the fact being from London Nintendo wasn't so popular we had Spectrums, Amstrads, Amiga's, Atari ST's and Sega Master Systems I found mostly

Never knew anyone back then with anything more than a GameBoy Nintendo wise but ya it would Piss me off if they canned a series that Id been following from the 8 Bit Days... then again they still aint given me a new Darkstalkers game just more and more Street Fighter Vomit (you know what i mean re-editions of re-editions ect ect) Theres not been a True new Darkstalkers game since 3 the rest are Ports or Compilations of sorts or ports of compilations (PSP's Darkstalkers being ported from the Dreamcast which was a collection). Its no secret that I like me some Darkstalkers but ya all ive had for years is the rubbish I just mentioned or Cameo Appearances (Marvel Vs Capcom ect ect)

Then again ya know maybe with the original creator of Mega Man gone Capcom is worried it cant do a *real* Mega Man game, and as they say its better to burn out then fade away.

Actually 13 if you count the MMBN5 Double Team edition, and the dual-edition of the sequels from 3 on.

CAPCOM LIKE MONEY

According to Capcom Europe's twitter page, the reason this project was canceled was lack of response from the fans. Apparently response at the devroom was "cool at best" and if there was enough of an audience then people might change their minds.

I don't know what would make me more mad. Them canceling the games, or them canceling the games just to bring it back for more sales. I wouldn't put it past them.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 leak:

http://www.dualshockers.com/2011/07/...lready-leaked/

[luffy4]
