Topic: Dtoid: "Rockman is not Going Over; How to Fix Capcom"

[Sub Tank]

This whole thing is just a giant marketing scheme by Capcom.

What ruined Megaman's appeal?  I'll tell you what, it was too many sequels!  Capcom wants to pull a Street Fighter and stop making Megaman games for 10 years, then release THE BIG ONE.  That's right, everything that has been happening / not happening lately has just been there to tease us and make us think they're completely incompetent.  But just wait you guys.  Just wait.

And it's a good thing that Capcom treats its employees well and would listen to them if they wanted to revive Megaman!



...wait.

The best part of Street Fighter 4 was Oiled-Up Daddy.

Word of mouth is like that and can say many things.

It can SAY many things. Doesnt mean anyone will listen.

Case in point 100,000 Strong. They've been really vocal, and reached well over 100,000- Do we have Legends 3?

No.

Also I got hired as a news contributor for Twinfinite, so I got that to look forward to as well.

I also have no idea what that is.

I think the main problem is that we're up against Capcom, who only listens to the SF and RE fans.

You can claim that nothing we say or do will have any effect on anything, but AFAIK Capcom's reputation has all but been completely destroyed. That's got to count for something.

Really though, if Capcom doesn't want to make Megaman anymore why are you trying to force them? Don't be so selfish.

Spreading rumours, complaining to anyone who will listen...

In playing the victim, perhaps the fans have become the bully?

[The Great Gonzo]

Because why should Capcom be held accountable for what it's done lately?


AA, shut up.

[Ladd Spencer]

How has Capcom Unity been for the past few years? I remember they were doing a great job of reaching out to fans last I'd seen.

Keep in mind that Capcom of Japan is responsible for Mega Man/Rock Man.

I think the bigger issue is that we're bugging the wrong people.

[Ladd Spencer]

CoA's mingle with the fans forum must require a lot of [tornado fang]ing patience, I'd imagine.

I think the bigger issue is that, quite frankly, they don't care.

From the sounds of things the higher ups were never really interested in making more Megaman but Inafune kept bugging them until they just gave in. He left and they had the chance to stop making the game they never really wanted to in the first place.

I don't see the problem here. I was over a year ago now, just let it go.

As for Xover, if you don't want it then don't get it. It's become apparent now that Capcom won't listen so ever take what you can get or, well, keep wasting your time. That's cool I guess. Whatever ever makes you feel better.

AA, shut up.

It's funny to see that from you, the one who threw a bitchfit over a simple word.

All I was doing was posting my opinion. Is that now allowed now?

That "simple word" was a pejorative and you were clearly using it as such.

I wouldn't mind you voicing your opinion if you weren't being such an unlikable dick about it.

There's no need to resort to insult me just because you don't like me. Haven't you ever heard that the best thing to do is to ignore them? It always amuses me how no one here ever does.

[The Great Gonzo]

Most of your posts have been coming across as deliberately inflammatory...but I get visibly angry at you once or twice, and I'm the one who needs to go sit in the corner?

[megaman24681012]

Hey, hey. I just wanted to interject my view on the issue. No need to argue semantics now.

The last thing we need is to become antagonistic towards each other.

Assemu Assuno is as free to express his opinion as anyone else in this forum, no matter how stupid and ignorant it may seem.

Focus guys! It's the problem we're attacking, not each other!

[Ladd Spencer]

What one word did Gonzo take offense to?

[Flame]

Does it matter?

[Treleus]

He's got a point. Can't force someone to do what they don't want. But I don't think we should be trying to force them into anything. You attract more bees with honey than with gall.

As for people not listening to 100,000 Strong: first of all, most people aren't impressed with 100,000. To them it's still niche and inconsequential, despite being more successful than the relatively better received (?) OpRainfall or OpMoonfall. Also most people aren't that impressed with Legends relative to Majora's Mask or Xenoblade/The Last Story. They (we) have to deal with those disadvantages.

And lo, on the 8th year of the eclipse ...

Yes

I've long since dropped the matter, so don't worry about it.

As for Capcom...I'm honestly not sure what we should do. They only seem to listen to whoever throws the most money at them, but at the same time, the MM fans aren't being given as many chances to hand them our money as the SF or RE guys. What we're getting is either too expensive (like, $200+), or not very good, or both.

(Sorry if what I'm saying is obvious and redundant.)

It's more like, they listen to the fans of what currently is selling well. Remember that just a little while back Street Fighter fans were in the same boat as Megaman fans are in now, until Ono finally got them to make SFIV.

[Flame]

And the whole way through, everyone was pressuring him to drop SF 4, because it was an unwanted product. They wanted him to work on something more profitable.

Unfortunately, "that guy" for the Mega Man series, quit already. And till someone fills those shoes, Capcom wont have to make any Mega Man games they dont want to.
