Capcom Announces Unreplayable Game

Hatta writes "Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D for the Nintendo 3DS will be an experience that can be completed once per customer. Using a single, unwipable save slot Capcom ensures that a second hand customer gets a second rate experience. If you buy this game used, you will be stuck with the previous owner's progress, unable to start the game fresh."

    I don't always buy games, but when I do, I buy from publishers that are not idiots.

    For a second there I thought this was going to be a joke about "The Most Interesting Gamer In the World"...

    "He drove Desert Bus for a month -- to show that it could be done."
    "He collected every hat in Team Fortress 2 -- but never wore them."
    "He carried the gnome all the way through Half-Life Episode 2 -- without a single saved game."

    "He is... The Most Interesting Gamer In The World."

    "I don't buy games often, but when I do, I don't buy Capcom."
    "Stay frosty, my friends."

    Was I supposed to read that in Jeremy Clarkson's voice? Because I did.
