Capcom and Sierra were the companies I loved the most games by when I was a kid. Nintendo was up there too, but these two just were something special.
And Mega Man 10 wasn't exactly a great service for the franchise, as it cemented its status as "retro only". The last Mega Man game that wasn't retreading old grounds was Command Mission, and that was a spinoff of a spinoff. They did a great job evolving the series while maintaining its core before - the X series was just that, but after Mega Man 8 flopped, they kinda mummifiyed the franchise. Maybe if X7 hadn't sucked, they would have been a bit more daring afterwards, too. The handheld titles were pretty good, but they were cheap to produce and not too innovative.

Anyone here have a data cap? I know that Comcast and a lot of other cable providers do that, at least where I llive. This kind of stuff is absolute bullshit for people in that situation.

I can't believe that MS would allow this. They can't possible be THAT out of touch with reality, can they?

And like a battered and abused spouse they still come back to Microsoft.

The only thing I can figure is that the DLC is actually included in the patch.

The patch apparently fixes issues from the game's release and readies the game for upcoming DLC.

I always wanted to make a company that could do a crossover game with Capcom, like Marvel or SNK. But then I have to keep reminding myself that Capcom is a piece of shit nowadays.

these times they are a changin AND I DUN LIKE IT Although I appreciate the sentiment that we shouldn't be too pessimistic about the future, particularly since Capcom does still release games that are objectively good (just not necessarily appealing to retro fans). This isn't the place to take an aggressive anti-retro stance. Considering the crazy responses from folks in this thread over a news article from a disreputable site, it does kinda make us look less than sensible. (The DR3 one though really is idiotic on Capcom's [and to an extent Microsoft's]part, though.)

That is a very very big file. I know one day I'll scoff at 13 GB, but this is a patch. Not a game. Maybe something involving DLC, but even than. There was a comment saying that companies are getting lazy about compressing files, and I hope that's what this is.
Wait no I don't. That's lazy with a capital T. That's showing no regard for the end-user, and if we can whine and bitch because of a game's ending than we can sure as hell make sure Capcom and Microsoft know fuck that noise.

Name a mega man game they've made since Legends 3 was cancelled. Mega Man Xover Okay, you got me there, though I did sort of mean a real game.

So you have to spend hours (or even days) to download 13gb, leave 13gb sitting on your soon to be all too small unupgradeable HDD, in order to make the game compatible with DLC that you may not ever wind up buying? Why the hell can't the DLC handle that itself? If the game is so fucked up it needs a 13gb patch they really should reissue it in fixed form, with some sort of swap program for suckers that already have the thing.

I can't quite understand how a patch can even reach 13 gigs. I mean, unless they swapped around a ton of high res textures, but in my mind, a patch fixes coding errors. I doubt the code itself has more than a couple of megabytes.
