Sure why the fuck not paywall this. Could've been a simple unlockable feature for beating the game but nope.

reminder that the 'dlc' for RE5 multiplayer was literally just a 100kb text file to give you permission to access it
the entire thing was on the disc

another reminder
megaman paid demo to determine if there was enough interest in megaman to make a new game

Ok

It could be 2065 where we're in our death beds and we'd all still remember vividly Capcom's ultra shitty on-disc DLC scam period.

Thats really bad, shame on Capcom.

Why am I not surprised

Because the game industry has shafted consumers for long enough that it's now expected.

A demo they cancelled before release mind

Because there just wasn't enough interest!
Perhaps if we all had pre oredered a demo then capcom would still be ok
/s

I actually fucking would have too, because I wanted mml3 that badly. I'm one of twelve people who bought the Tronne Bonne game on release which is why my copy with case and manual is worth like a million dollars (exaggeration)

Well this was initially apart of the perk package with the deluxe edition. Don't see a huge human rights movement about it just being some couple dollar DLC

it's not like capcom hasn't been doing this for years now

if you want to scoff at anything it would be the buying the upgrade tickets to weapons in the game on the steam market. something that actually directly effects the gameplay. that's a weird one for sure

The only thing you should be complaining about is that they ported Monster Hunter Rise but then deliberately cut out the Sunbreak expansion to sell separately

Yeah those are worse, tbh.

Of all the things to charge people for

Why would this be included normally? Is there really that much demand to have the original sound effects from a 20 year old GameCube game

Don't fucking buy it.

Wtf you were doing so great scamcom!

Yes that was dumb on their part. They shoulda already known you guys weren't interested in MML3.

Do they really have a gacha too?

Yes, that's probably the dumbest decision in the game. Mostly because it isn't even something you can pay money for, there's a shooting range minigame that gives you tokens. You put the tokens in a gacha machine for a random selection of charms that have minor effects on gameplay like discounting the rocket launcher or increasing the amount green herbs heal.

Not technically. Each game file started (New Game or NG+) has a randomly generated seed for charms that you can obtain. Save scumming won't change the seed. Obtaining charms is entirely unnecessary to enjoy the game. It's kinda them making the bottle cap trophies from the original into some more useful items.

Pokemon HGSS included an "original sountrack" key item after you beat the game. It was just a fun little bonus. >_>

Why wouldn't it? FFX Remaster had it and you didn't even have to unlock it.

it seems like something that almost all players wouldnt ever use

Not the only remaster to have original soundtrack as paid dlc. Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania also charged

And the reason they added this was bc people were complaining about the sound quality, right? So instead of a patch to add it lets just fucking sell it. Greedy bastards. They shouldnt push the luck theyve had with some of their games lately.

True but the idea is that they're just nickel and diming the handful of hardcores just for the sake of it. Like you don't have to do that.

I bought (pre-ordered) the deluxe edition for PC for like $52, and it comes with this. One of the main reasons I got the deluxe edition is for the extra costumes though because then you also have more outfits to swap for modded ones as well. Some mods for the previous games required the DLC outfits to work.

No? This was a deluxe edition thing, no one was surprised they're selling it as DLC.

Wherethisfeom posted...

Thanks. I'm guessing you can only have a few each run?

There are a maximum of 96 tokens which gives you 32 rolls.

You'll fucking work for that 96 though. Three of the tokens in each challenge are awarded for getting 1000 points higher than the high score it provides on its own. One is given for hitting small medallions that are on some of the larger targets. To get every token, you essentially have to hit every single target, don't hit any of the negative targets, and hit all of those medallions. On a controller, it's easily the most difficult thing to do in the game.

it made sense for the re2 remake because they replaced one of the best video game soundtracks ever with generic film score music

i barely remember any music from og re4.

I feel like this was both a good and a bad thing. Like obviously it would have been nice to have Sunbreak included, but if it was included then nobody would have been playing the original game's content. I enjoyed the few weeks it took to grind 100 HR and a few good builds before putting the game away to wait for Sunbreak.

I'm not sure. There's a total 32 rolls and 30 charms, and I think some seeds have unavoidable duplicates. So you're probably forced to continue in NG+ to get them all.

Its fucked up that Capcom even owns the franchise. That's always a nightmare.

Take Mega Man. Most fans are clamoring for more, and that's because Capcom's careless treatment of sacred properties has forced fans to repress the majority of the franchise's 150+ titles.

This was apart of the deluxe edition.

so either way you paid extra for it, its separate for those who didnt want anything from the deluxe edition but the OG soundtrack.
