Great podcast, glad to hear that everything is good with Shipwreck.

cheapy you say you are tired of having capcom cash in on street fighter with the new arcade edition, but both the re-releases of street fighter 4 have been $40, not $60 like you said. Also, you can buy the super street fighter 4 arcade edition content as dlc for ssf4. The disc version is really only for people who don't own street fighter 4 yet and want to get all the content

Great show this week guys. Wombat, having another kid has brought your game up a notch. Pussyface for the win! Friski, the BFBC2 update that took so long, was the Vietnam update and was over a 1gig. That is a rare large update, and is game specific, would be the same for all systems. The PS3 update system definitely needs to be improved for their next console.

This was a few months before Vietnam, so it was a normal MP update for Bad Company 2.

Edit: Just looked it up, that 468 MB update I downloaded was on 8/5/2010 and Vietnam wasn't until December 2010. That made me download a 1.7 GB update in February 2011. Unless I missed them, these cannot be downloaded, like in the background, from the marketplace, so that's more of an issue than the huge updates themselves. At least the Burnout Paradise updates were released as DLC that you could get beforehand, but MS hasn't allowed in-game DLC purchases to be downloaded in the background to solve the instances where that's an annoyance.

$40 + $40 + $20 (or $40) + whatever the final cost of DLC = an approximate shitton. They are really milking it for more than its worth.

The fans support them by continuing to buy them and all of the overpriced costumes, so they're just getting what they want from Capcom. I don't have any problems with developers and publishers giving their fans what they want.

$40 + $40 + $20 (or $40) + whatever the final cost of DLC = an approximate shitton.

ssf4 ($20 on amazon) + the arcade edition dlc ($15) = full game - costumes. i did not know $35 is a shitton for a great fighting game.

Thanks for the mention. You can see the game here and perhaps buy it: http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-CLASTLE/clastle

BTW, there is a time trial mode, but time has nothing to do with the actual game.

HAHA, this is one my favorite CAGcast intros.

Definitely looks like something I would dig if I had something to play it on.

This show is going to get me killed... I'm in a office full of women with "Bitches aint shit but hoes and trickkkkkks" playing in the background. I got to remember to listen to the show in the car, rather than the office. Great show!

Great show guys! I even laughed when Wombat had to justify why he had to walk away from his mic . . "I have children!!!".

Anyway, I'd like to see more "top analyst" predictions (i.e. What do you think the metacritic score will be for both SKYRIM and MW3? NPD sales figures. Over/Under for units sold on various games, etc.).

Here are some other recommendations and/or requests:

Cheapy - Need more Tai soundbites and/or updates (i.e. Rodney Dangerfield impersonations, poop smearing stories, etc.)

Wombat - Need more random impersonations of Bill Cosby

Shipwreck - (VERY IMPORTANT) From this day forward, your videogame review section shall be titled "The Vagina Monoblog!" in honor of the new Vagina scar on your face.

. . . Again, Great Show fellas!!!

Everything about PS3 updates and downloads sucks. I laughed when CheapyD was talking about how playing PS3 means watching downloads and updates. I had the same experience twice last week. I love how I can just throw an old 360 game in my box, get the latest update in about 5 seconds and be playing.

Damn, I want the song at the end of the show played at my funeral.

Great show as always.

Good show guys. The intro was hilarious. Glad to hear Shipwreck is on the road to recovery and kicked cancer's ass.

I seriously can't imagine listening to the Joystiq podcast, whether they're being serious or funny. Joystiq has the absolute WORST attempts at humor in their blog posts. Who is laughing at these jokes? People talk about the offensive humor in Duke Nukem Forever, but I think those terrible Joystiq jokes are more offensive. I guess it's to cover up their crappy reporting. If I had to listen to an hour of those guys desperately trying to be funny I'd probably kill myself. No thanks. I'll stick to the CAGcast.

The thing with Children of Eden is that for game reviewers, it's another SEE GAMES ARE ART YOU BETTER RESPECT THEM RIGHT NOW title. I didn't even bother reading a lot of the reviews because I already knew it was going to get perfect scores and glowing praise regardless of any of its failings. It's another game like Limbo where the "games are art" dorks can furiously masturbate to as they write up their reviews. The fact that you have to replay the same level to get to the next one is incredibly lame. How about adding real levels to a game you're charging full price for?

I always laugh when I hear Microsoft continuously push how YOU ARE NOW THE CONTROLLER WITH KINECT when it plainly sucks and isn't as effective as pressing a button on my controller. I still say Cheapy sold out by buying a Kinect though.

The PS3 download times are just a killer. I'm sick and tired of them. By the time the patch is done downloading, you don't even feel like playing anymore. I agree with Cheapy. When I got the free PS Plus trial, I thought it downloaded all the patches for new games you downloaded. After it took me hours and hours to download Dead Nation, I had to download a freakin' patch on top of it. PS Plus only seems to download patches for recent games you played. I was under the impression it downloaded any updates for games installed to your HD in the Game Data Utility folder.

With developers being lazy and not finishing their games before shipping them, gamers are stuck downloading patches the day they buy the game and the following weeks after release. I don't think it's someting that could be changed, regardless if the PS3 came out a year after the 360. It was just a dumb decision on Sony's part.

It really doesn't matter if some guy dresses up like Mario at E3 because he fits right in with the unprofessionalism with the rest of game "journalists." They're always cheering at every announcement, especially the Nintendo stuff and games like Ico/Shadow of Colossus HD. Last year they even accepted free Xbox 360s from Microsoft without question. It's really embarrassing.

MS knows software. Sony doesn't.

Although they flip spots for hardware. Sony is much better at hardware than MS.

Japanese companies aren't strong in software in general. Just look at any Japanese electronic product.

Long time CAGcast listener, new to CAG. Wombat's been doing a great job (with the exception of his absence in the middle of the show) on the podcast despite having the new kid, kudos. Nice job on kicking cancers ass Ship, always bet on double Pacman. As for a question, any possibility of having all the wives on for CAGcast #250?

btw, isn't the problem with Capcom more of a cultural divide than incompetency? Shit we think is stupid makes perfect sense to them? Seems like that's at least part of it or no?

No.

Hell MvC3 doesn't even have all the features that street fighter 4 has. Look I love capcom, but this is getting ridiculous.

I'm in the middle of listening to the latest CagCast, but after one comment about Apple and Samsung, I had to post.

Take a moment and Google Apple and Samsung. They aren't exactly getting along very well currently. In fact, Samsung makes one of the premiere Android phone sets and Android tablets. Do you really think Samsung is going to work with Apple to ensure it's own demise?
