hahaha
Oh yeah I almost forgot the RIDICULOUS costs for DLC characters. Sin and Leo for $8 EACH? Fuck outta here with your nonsense…
Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot GG players are part of the 1%, my bad.
Sin was $3 and unlockable with in game currency.
Maybe guilty gear community likes being stealthy. Hidden super fighting game
Actually no, it is why they scrapped the model that they were using for BBCS to BBCSII.
Just because you would prefer it like that, it doesn’t mean hat the majority does.
Also, 20 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to low, 40 is more than fine.
Yeah, lets ignore that Leos was free the 1st week and Sin was an unlockable on the game.
And if you find $8 to be overpriced for a complete char that offers more value than 4 clones like what was super to ae on sf4, then you shouldn’t be gaming at all.
Seriously, do you ever think before posting or you only let the stupidity flow?
@grandabx , I fixed a terrible paranoid clickbait title. If there’s some reason you really feel the title was accurate, PM me and we can discuss. I generally prefer FGD to NOT be needlessly paranoid, especially if it’s based upon some random concern about the front page team not giving somebody’s favorite game enough attention.
ProTip: write some articles if you’re super interested in a game. Games tend to get promoted most and best when they have people that are into them and want to evangelize them.
Fair enough.
So If I write an article, the site might consider it?
I don’t care how you spin it. It’s 8 fuckin dollars for ONE character. I can purchase whole GAMES with that same amount.
But hey, if you wanna be a GG stan and buy whatever they throw at you cuz you like having a finger up your ass while they’re performing a BJ, that’s cool. Just don’t expect everyone to accept that shit.
I consider the money to be worth it. This game is a piece of art with lots of attention paid to each character, and tons of love poured into it.
Is there any word on an American special edition?
LMAO
No LE, but I heard somewhere that Dizzy will be free, so no characters will cost DLC money.(Unless you live in a cave and don’t download Kum before the free 2 weeks are up, you don’t need to own the game to download it.)
With BBCSII, ASW discovered definitively that players don’t want to have an upgrade OPTION, and always want to pay full retail price for every update?
They gave for free the BBCSII update but sold the new chars.
Everyone keep saying that they will wait for the next revision to get them.
The rest is history as they say.
I never argued for such a model, so I’m not sure why you responded to me with that. All I’ve said is the updates should be discounted for existing owners.
“THING I DON’T LIKE IS BAD, AND YOU’RE A DUMMY FOR LIKING IT!”
I don’t have a problem with fighting game revisions. I’ve been buying them since I bought a SNES to save money practicing SF2 at home.
Do people cry about NBA / NFL / NHL / Soccer annual game updates? Do those games even have as much revision between iterations within a hardware generation?
How about Call of Duty? Do you need a new one every year?
So on, and so forth.
Yep, Street Fighter was the big bad ass fighting franchise for a while. Yet somehow, with the financial backing of Sony and decades of game design experience, and nearly ten years of learning with SF4 series - Capcom managed to blow it with the release of SF5.
Sure, you allegedly will only ever need to buy one version of Street Fighter 5; but with how terrible the product was at launch - sales haven’t quite proven the proposed model to be a winner. Will SF5 be a great game in four years? Maybe, but with the lack of out of the gate advertising and hype to push the revisions - will there be anybody other than the most die hard Capcom Flavor-Aid drinkers to support it?
I would gladly keep buying Street Fighter games, if Capcom stopped hiring terrible subcontractors that churn out fugly entries into the series. Street Fighter used to get me so hype.
Now, I can’t stand looking at it. I feel bad for the generation that will be raised on the horse faced women of Street Fighter 4/5. Gone are the glorious 2D QTs of Capcom’s golden years. Now everything looks like a beta test for a Namco game.
But I digress, fighting games aren’t where they were when I fell in love with then in the 90’s. Capcom can’t float anything not named Street Fighter in the market. SNK is no longer the viable competition it used to be churning out SamSho, KoF, Fatal Fury, and numerous other fighters - much like Capcom they lean on one IP. Granted, that is also because they’ve been bought, sold, bought, sold, and had like four people working on a game for the past few years.
I guess Namco counts for something, Tecmo still exists, but I’m a Sega guy - so. . . my favorite 3D fighter is missing in action in terms of a new installment.
Magically Arc System Works has managed to stay afloat with little change, and they manage to consistently churn out product for fighting game fans. I gladly support them because they’re sticking to 2D games that actually look like the games which begat the legacy, or carefully curated 3D visuals which replicate 2D visuals amazingly.
But you know what?
Buy what you like, and if you don’t like something. Don’t buy it.
The Internet has made crying about this crap easier, but it’s been going on since Super Street Fighter 2 came out - and at least back then you jabronis needed to pay for postage to QQ about it in EGM.
Revelator is so nice, I bought it twice. I believe in voting with my wallet.
I am ready!!!
I do not have any interaction with the front page writers in any fashion whatsoever. I know Mechanica as a person, but that’s about it. So: talk to those cats. The front page is its own thing: I do not go there. I have a shortcut to the forums on SRK and go there. The front page could have “Preppy wins $1000000 if he contacts us now!” and I would not notice.
WAS kinda fucked up how there was no release announcement, though. Some articles about the new characters…an evo announcement…then nothing. No “GGXR next week/tomorrow/is live now” like there were for SFV. Hell, SF5 got like 3-5 new announcements on the front page daily before release. GGxr? It was like, “well, we talked about the new characters and the dynamic lighting. lights a blunt We’re done with that. Let’s squee over Ibuki’s alt outfit.” I didn’t even know this game had come out until I checked the PSN Store updates that Tuesday.
Leo was free the first week of Sign, Sin was able to be purchase with in-game currency, & Jack-O(?) & Raven was free if you pre-order Revelator.
Also you’re a fucking idiot.
Ephelt was free dlc day 1, Sin was unlockable w/ingame money, Leo was an $8 dlc purchase that came along a week later.
