Why People Are Hating On Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite – And Why They’re Wrong

Fans haven't been too crazy about some of the changes to the Marvel vs. Capcom game. WWG explains why they may be wrong to judge too quickly.

So the people who complain that

- the game doesn't seem have a lot of the beloved X-Men and Fantastic Four characters from past games.
- the game going back to 2v2 battles instead of the 3v3 that was widely accepted in the past two games.
- the game abandoning its comic book aesthetic for an art style that's less unique and unidentifiable.
- some crucial story mode characters are already being announced to locked behind a DLC paywall.
- many assets are being reused and there not being as many newcomers.
- some characters being extremely off model
- changing Rocket Racoon's accent from cockney to Brooklyn.

are unwarranted? I'll eventually get the game, but these complaints do hold weight and kept be swept under the rug.

Lexreborn22484d ago

I think a lot of your points prove superficial.

-The lack of beloved characters doesn't equal a bad game. It means lost nostalgia that's about all, also the only FF characters they ever had in the series were Dr. Doom (who can stand outside of the FF) and Super Skrull (who can also stand outside of the FF).
-What's wrong with 2v2 again? Just because the last 3 entries were 3v3 doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Especially with the roots of the game actually going back to 1v1 see children of the atom ironically an xmen game.)
-Art isn't a linear platform, so why is it now that they want to try a new art style it's worth complaining over? Things move forward not backwards. Even when inspired by the past it makes it better not the same.
-What exactly is a "crucial story mode character"? is that a way of saying because they are plot heavy for a game they are critical to the gameplay? If people hate the concept of the paywall maybe they should've taken to the SFV model of play to unlock as well as pay to unlock. There were options with that and I'm sure if it was popular would've become a future model of fighters.
- Are we really going to complain about re-used assets when there are 5 previous games that re-used the same assets up until MvC3?
-I'm not sure what this extremely off model characters thing is because I looked at the screenshots the internet posted and played the demo. And, all I noticed was the demo wasn't finished for an unfinished game. Why exactly are we complaining about that? Don't all pre-release demoes do this? Either they are extremely better looking then retail or they look awful up until they go gold right? Why are we having pre-launch meltdowns again?
-Complaining over an accent? Next thing you know we will lose are shit over Voice actors changing in a game like Metal Gear V >.>

Even if we say they are "warranted" They are hardly worth trashing the game over which has been showing to have an extremely polished system and great looking characters. Here's hoping we don't see the same broken loop combos like we did in UMVC3 though!

Nintendew2484d ago

True really can't judge yet, haven't even played the damm game yet!
I'll reserve my judgement till I accually play it, big fighting game fan.

link2Dpast2484d ago (Edited 2484d ago )

PREACH!!! Can't stand this new gen and it's gamers. Gamers nowadays seem so entitled ,spoiled and the rather just live through the lie because the truth burns like a STD. Face it MvsC will never be as good as part 2, I see the new DBZ fighter and I think "why the hell didn't they go with that style" I loved the sprites from the Olden days

Nintendew2484d ago

MvsC2 was the best one I think.
Ken
Sakura
Morgan I used mostly

Wolverine
Spider-Man
Venom second team

When I seen DBZ fighter instantly thought of MvsC2, hell yeah prob gonna buy that! Vegeta is a must for me!

Nintendew2484d ago

At least gonna have Mega Man/Zero combo, FINALLY!
But no ken.........that sucks.

link2Dpast2484d ago

My team was always the core of Guile, magneto, and any random 3rd character. preferably someone with an extremely annoying side attack lol iceman for sure, that ice bean was hella fast

Activemessiah2485d ago

All I see is people making excuses for this PoS of a game... The fact that people are out there defending the absence of the X-Men because we suddenly developed Amnesia. FoH.

TheOttomatic912485d ago

So have legit complaints that the devs aren't answering is now considered to be hating? Jesus Christ get your head out of your ass.

Krysis2485d ago

LMAO, best comment all day.

LordJamar2484d ago

there is a thin line between complaints and dumb nit picking

Derceto2485d ago

Why your article is a brain fart, see all comments.

Elda2485d ago

such a shame, its my fav console by far. it was way better than ps1, problem was ps2 was due to come out, a year or so later, and many just waited for that, especially after the flop that was the Saturn,. (even though it way okay, it didn't sell well,).

ps1 did sell well, a lot of those fans waited for ps2. thus, the downfall of Dreamcast,,

Chocoburger1h ago

I bought a DreamPi to play both Dreamcast and Saturn online! So far I'm only played with two people online with Saturn, and I need to spend more time with the Dreamcast community in order to play with them. I miss ChuChu Rocket online, good times!

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

jwillj2k48h ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

CrimsonWing698h ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex7h ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos7h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai1d 2h ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga17h ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

XiNatsuDragnel23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

ravens5221h ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_16h ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

KwietStorm_BLM16h ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka46m ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_16h ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
