So with the release of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D two days ago an unusual complaint arose, and a valid one.
You can't delete the save file.
This means that anything you unlock is unlocked forever. That doesn't sound bad but it makes selling the game to someone else near impossible because who the pineapple wants to play someone else's save file? Also, all replay value is lost if you pick it up again in a few months or years. Capcom is claiming it's not a new form of DRM or deterrent to buy second-hand but that seems like a load of pomegranate to me. This is a pretty serious issue. I would suggest avoiding buying this game (not like it was a real game anyway. Seriously, why the hell would they make a "full game" out of a mini-game?)
