As you already said, it's not the same. In Phoenix Wright you don't unlock anything, you just clear cases and that's it. It doesn't matter if someone already cleared it, you will get the exactly same experience as if you were playing for the first time.Dead Man Typing said:Aren't the Phoenix Wright games like this too? Once you unlock a case, you can't reset the game to lock it again.
I might be wrong, there could be some hidden code to reset the game data and obviously Phoenix Wright doesn't have unlockable characters or anything that changes up the scenario, but it is a Capcom handheld game series.
But I'd guess in a game like this you probably unlock characters, weapons, extras, etc... Having all that already unlocked if you buy the game second hand is incredibly shitty, and something that would potentially stop me from ever enjoying the game (I know, weird perhaps, but I wouldn't mind if I could just erase all the data and start all over.. but having everything there and not being able to delete it just makes it feel... cheap).
While Capcom doesn't owe them anything, pretty much every single game ever has had that option, unless not really needed (ie, nothing to unlock, etc..). They are doing this crap to prevent second hand sales and that's just low. It's more about Capcom trying to screw us over, rather than the game being more or less fun itself (I wasn't planning on buying it, either way).CorkyFromLifeGoesOn said:Why should a person you loan the game to or someone who bought the game second hand get the full experience. I agree the move sucks, but I don't think Capcom owes them anything.
