I’m torn between rolling my eyes and cheering.
I think I’ll roll my eyes while secretly cheering.
Why do people still throw this “incomplete game” nonsense around? I wish I could find the person who started that buzz term and stab them in the foot.
When we bought CvS2 on console, it came with 4 non-arcade characters, and we completely ignored them, because they were just “console version extras”.
Now, the “extra” characters are considered this precious commodity that Capcom is forcing us to buy in order to complete the game.
So by this logic, technically, CvS2 arcade boards are incomplete games and Capcom ripped off arcades across the globe when they sold those boards?
Nah they didnt give us a product that was advertised. They advertised the 360 local pair play and its not there.
We discovered everything on disc before they announced anything. They were advertising SFxT as a “Complete” game. Where really they locked part of that and made it so we had to pay even more money to get everything that was already on the disc. They sold us an incomplete game.
This is false advertisement
Yeah, the difference is that Capcom never led us to believe that the game would come with those 12 extra characters. What a terrible analogy.
There are some styles of cars that do not include basic peripherals. Just like Capcom, the car developers let you know about this before-hand.
Sigh That’s not false advertisement. They advertised those default characters on top of the PS3 exclusive characters and the modes that the game will have. The 12 characters were made to be separate for a future DLC release. Capcom optioned to go the route of putting the DLC on disc as opposed to doing what they did with UMvC3( which if i remember correctly people threw a bitch fit over and resulted in that game having low sales). So again they sold a complete game.
I would never buy a Kia car, and on similar grounds of logic I have not bought a Capcom fighting game since the original SSF4.
You all fed into promised disappointment.
Why did none of us raise a fuss like this when KOFXIII did the exact same thing back in November?
Because we want KOF to succeed here in America…
BTW, you can get KOF XIII for $29.99 at select retailers now.
No shit. I bought it last December and it was my main game for months until SFxT and now it’s my secondary. Hopefully this time all of the setups at Civil War have EX Iori: I had to run like half of the tournaments I went to picking someone random as my anchor hoping Billy and Raiden didn’t drop…
-it was only EX Kyo, EX Iori, and Mr. Karate
-different versions of already existing characters
-those characters were revealed by SNK-Playmore themselves like a very short time after release, at least compared to Capcom’s “wait until the Vita release several months in the future” plan
People who still buy Capcom games after the 360 pair play issue are idiots. Once a business wanders close to false advertising, supporting them is the equivalent of reaching your hand into a black widow nest.
Mr. Karate came out almost 4 months after the game came out. That was hardly a “very short time.”
Also, “only those 3” holds no merit because they were still $15 for just 3 characters already on the disc, and they played different enough that being different versions of already existing characters was irrelevant. Capcom’s 12 characters are just $5 total and THEY’RE the ones ripping people off?
Eff that noise.
The 12 characters are 20$ total, not 5$. Next time you try to white knight someone, do your research.
Because KOF XIII is a better game and SNK doesn’t have a history of nickel and diming their fans.
Regardless of the complains about on-disk DLC being rational or legitimate or not, the customers don’t want it. And “the customer is always right” and all that jazz.
Actively doing what the consumers tell them not to time and time again and getting more and more people pissed off every time they do something (anything, at this point) seems like the complete opposite of their supposed stance on customer relations.
I just want to remind everyone that VF5 was the first fighting game to have on disc dlc. An FYI if you didn’t know, so put the blame on sega.
Is supporting them really like sticking your hand in a black widow nest? Don’t be dramatic.
If you guys wanna stop supporting Capcom, just stop. Easy as that. I stopped supporting the Tony Hawk series for their awkward design decisions throughout the franchise. No rallying cry for change, no hexing people who still purchased the games, I just moved on. This is something the FGC seems unable to do; their life decisions won’t remain their own - they need validation. Petitions! Polls on forums! Agree with me! Boycott!
No.
Take your money elsewhere, end of story. Far as I’m concerned, I’ll let Capcom slide on the pair play thing. Honestly they were never that good when it comes to connectivity and my expectations were fairly low to begin with. Everything else about the game I’m fine with, including the ‘DLC’. I rather not wait for free colors, though. Seems pointless.
ai yo man, fuh dis shieet! ima go play me some CVS2.
I’m going to take the cynical route and say it’s probably because better game or not, less people cared about it and the less people who care about a game the less people there will be who notice a company trying that shady bs or who will care about whatever a company does with a game they aren’t interested in.
