Admittedly I stretched the definition out for this one. Because otherwise I was stuck on "something with clocks? I don't fuckin' know" and that wasn't jogging much inspiration. Hell, this isn't either, but... XD XD It was at least actually inspired by actual comments and how I felt like reacting to them. Why? Because Capcom puts Ryu and Chun-Li in everything as cameos as if Street Fighter is the only IP that matters to them and this is how they sell themselves out now. They're in Fortnite, they're in mother fucking POWER RANGERS, and now this. Fuck off Capcom! Can't you let me enjoy one fucking thing without stuffing your fucking lame ass Street Fighter characters back in my face??

So for those not quite in the know, I was streaming/recording my playthroughs of Megaman X DiVE for ahh... lets just say for longer than I probably should have bothered? You can catch the full playlilst here, if you're interested at all in seeing what was up with it...

Long story short, it's a game with a lot of promise and potential... that just sort of gets squandered entirely on the back of mobile gaming tropes designed to hamper and degrade your experience, all in the pursuit of infinite money. It's incredibly disappointing. Because if this had been literally anything else, then it probably would have been Fine. But hey, if you can stomach all that better than I can, it's available now on mobile and it's coming to Steam (with controller support, I'd imagine) in another couple months or so?

And to wrap the topic back around, Because Mobile Gaming, in order for me to get anywhere in DiVE, I had to increase my "Total Power" rating... an arbitrary system designed explicitly to roadblock you. And increasing that value means unlocking and powering up every character I can so... while I don't expect the US release would have actually seen these additions for a good couple months to a year, it still means that I'd ultimately be expected to obtain Ryu and Chun-Li and actually have to play as them and power them up purely for the sake of getting over the next set of hurdles and... I don't want to fucking do that. I don't want to play as fucking Ryu. Personal Bias, but Fuck Off. This is a MEGAMAN X GAME, Damnit.

....oh, there's also a version of this where I'm snapping a controller in half, since I played/streamed via an emulator on PC so I could play the game with a controller instead of a fucking touch screen, but... being a phone game, this seemed like the more appropriate version to post. :p
