was VERY reluctant to buy marvel vs Capcom 3 when it was on sale because of the slop machines that are aaaaaaa devs.
said screw it and pulled the pin. Sat on it for about a week and finally booted it up last night… I absolutely forgot that these AAAA devs used to make games, not stores with games attached.
very refreshing to be bought back to the ¢25 arcade machine games again with no stupid stores, cosmetics, characters locked behind a wallet.
Now if I can just find a street fighter game that is in the same vein that doesn’t have stores with stores and nonstop ads for junk.
We still have some arcades here, they seem so expensive to me though.
Yeah, arcades as we knew them kind of died, but they still exist. They’re more focused at kids than they used to be, and often times they involve adaptations of cell phone games like Angry Birds or almost-simulator-rides like Fast and Furious that cost $8 per play.
