The thing with Guilty Gear/Blazblu DLC is the people who actually play the game never complain about this. People dont mind paying money to support a good game with ethical business practice, which says a lot about the constant “BUT GUILTY GEAR…” ranting.
I believe the color packs are 99 cents (get rekt SFV).
You could buy Sin with in game money in XRD. Elphelt was free for 2 weeks. Leo was 7 bucks.
Revelator was 40 bucks and came a year later, added Sin, Elphelt and Leo (now free) also added Kum, Raven, Jam and Johnny. Plus a balance patch. Plus new stages. Dizzy was 7 bucks.
BTW, game also launched with full cinematic story mode. Updates also added update to story mode.
Xrd was 60 bucks in 2014. Awesome game.
Revelator was 40 bucks in 2016. Still awesome game.
Revelator 2 is an additional 20 bucks. STILL. AN. AWESOME. GAME.
All the paid extra DLC carries over from game to game.
And youre comparing this to what Capcom is doing? I would give Arksys money over and over if they keep supporting the scene by constantly building on top of what they have with Xrd.
People don’t complain about GG/BB DLC because it’s most of it is overpriced fluff. Who’s gonna complain about paying for new color palettes, system voices and avatars? It’s content that doesn’t matter. The main complain about Revelator is having to buy a new disc. There wasn’t a DLC add-on option for it. Same for all the Blazblue updates sans Continuum Shift too.
Xrd is a great game, but I’m not a big GG player anymore. I just pop it in from time to time to play some matches. One thing I hate about their business model is that I can’t do that because pretty soon there is a point where I have to buy the next game or patch to keep playing with the majority of the player base. I much prefer having with DLC characters that stays relevant for a while without paying more money. I’m might get the Rev 2 update at some point, but that’s up in the air. Completely stopped by BB games after BBCS EX for the same reason.
Also I don’t give Capcom any money unless it has something to do with Cammy.
btw. will she be in MVCI? I skipped 3 because I had none of my MVC2 chars (Cammy,Psylocke,CapCom).
The ASW games have been consistently niche. For fans, it’s a luxury to have them, they’re forced to keep on paying because otherwise the series wouldn’t keep existing, specially with that quality level they thrive for.
But you tell me Marvel? It’s a hugely popular brand, they’re going to make a butt of money, they don’t need to overcharge the prices because a lot of people are fans of the comics and the movies, they’ll buy the game, you should be confident to offer a lot of content because the game will be a sale success… unless you plan to deliver another barebones fighting game with almost zero content and game modes. And we’re talking about Capcom…
Come on… even KOF XIV had more than 50 fighters for default, and kept on supporting the game even by improving the graphics for free.
Capcom’s just a bunch of greedy scammers, there’s no other explanation.
I have nothing against Street Fighter V’s DLC model, the only problem is they’re slow as hell adding new content. I liked the XDZW rate where they added 1 or 2 new costumes and 1 new character each month.
Capcom’s so slow they make me wish they instead return to their “6 months later disc update” policies from SF4, there would be more content.
YOU think about what I said… The fanbase keeps them on life support… The rest of the gaming audience no longer possesses any faith in the company at all. Capcpom games are getting outsold by Wii U titles- They can’t even sell 2 million copies of their flagship series.
RE and Monster Hunter are the only titles with any widespread appeal anymore.
Read some posts. Then stopped, this is way to much to bother going through.
But what I think a $60 dollar game should have is a great single player and lots of up front content. With nothing locked on disc. If the DLC is truly DLC then that’s OK. As long as they aren’t giving us a small base roster. But what really gets me about DLC is how they announce upfront how many characters are coming, and pretty often, who they will be. I like how MKX had DLC packs with a few characters. Then later down the line they popped up with another one.
I don’t want to know there will be 6 characters. Not only does it show they have probably finished making all that content and they could have given it to us. But they take away all the excitement about how the game will develop. Agreed on Smash. There was a lot of content up front and its the game I have had the most joy with offline.
I would be ecstatic if there was only one base version of the game. None of this Ultimate Edition like Injustice 2 is getting. One base game. One base price. Then let us pick and choose what DLC we want later on. Because there is an Ultimate Edition I will get it. And I will get the DLC and probably use none. You know all that Ultimate Edition nonsense is probably locked on disc.
Same here. I wish they would release more content.
I think for a Year 12 characters with their 12 premium costumes plus 1 new Story Mode (putting more spotlight on that year’s DLC characters) should be pretty doable in 1 year easily.
Honestly while if I like it I’m paying for ALLLLLLL of it. It would have been smarter to NOT announce new DLC characters until after the games been out. They should have wrapped that shit up with "We plan to continue to support the game well into next year with additional content.
