people are dropping it because they are getting played for their money. making people pay full price for a product and then making them pay extra to actualy use the full product is just a nasty trick to make money. I hope the game will get pirated on a huge scale.
Shit’s like selling books with the last pages glued together. Then selling the solvent a month later to unglue the ending.
If anything I’m looking forward to the dlc characters a little bit more because I know what they play like and look like in game. It’s better than waiting for months without seeing any character models and just going off of speculation and dealing with Ono’s dumbass.
regardless of this the game is still fun to play and i’ve got poison juri and over 40+ new characters to still play with.
this is just pre release jitters, capcom will do something, we being the consumers will either buy it or choose another game.
some will love it, some will hate it, some really want those characters badly enough to not purchase the game.
life will go on.
End of story. Also, the game looks fun.
No, they’re giving you a full game for $60, and optional additions with it. You have access to a fully functioning fighter, out of the box. Even if everyone buys the DLC and you don’t, you can still play SFxT with the entire community. You are literally getting what you pay for, and the DLC is merely optional.
And I’m with you in thinking that’s lame, but to me, SFxT out of the box looks like a good $60 value. And who knows, maybe we’ll learn to enjoy buying what we want, instead of getting forced expansion packs. If we get Super SFxT in the Fall, then it’s time to be disappointed.
get the fuck outta here. people are paying for a product that has a little secret compartment that they’ll want to sell the keys to later on. shit functions, but it doesn; t fully function because a big part of the data is inaccessible.

the question is: ps3 retail, or xbox 360 retail?
could somebody please briefly explain what this is about?
(for the people like me who have not been carefully following all of the news updates surrounding this game and its release)
Nobody is actually going to boycott this game. They’re saying they will for attention and so they can look edgy. They can’t just not play the next big Capcom fighter if they’re at all fans of Capcom fighting games.
I would be surprised if they even have the patience to wait until they could buy it used.
Nothing changes for people like us, I’m a little pissed about the DLC but I’m also buying it because I love fighting games. However, this will hurt sales of a more casual audience of the genre.
They can take all the money they want from us, but we aren’t the buyers who have made fighting games profitable once again, and that’s something that Capcom is forgetting. Each new Capcom fighting game is having worse sales than the previous one due a disastrous policy with the customers.

opposite I wasn’t planning on buying any dlc ever but osome if these characters look alright
its a maybe
the dlc has been revealed to have all 12 of the characters and their alternate costumes already on the xbox 360’s disk along with pacman and megaman.
everyone thought the characters were unfinished but they aren’t. (or they APPEAR to be finished entirely)

Still getting the game no matter what. Despite this DLC crap the game still looks really fun. Answer me this (for the people who aren’t getting it anymore): would you still purchase the game if you didn’t know about the DLC? It’s still the same game, and knowing Capcom we would be getting some kind of DLC/update eventually anyway, so… yeah.

I went back and forth on buying this game for months, but now I’m not going to get it… at launch. Whenever a sale comes up for the game is I’ll pick it up. I personally don’t want to pay $60 plus whatever the DLC characters cost, so I’ll at least save some money playing the waiting game a little bit.
I might just end up caving and getting the game anyway at full price, but it’s a little disheartening to know that characters that I wanted to main aren’t going to be in the game until the fall.
How is this a shock to any of you?
I knew what I was getting into when I paid out my preorder.
God I love the internet. This is where it strives: exposing bullshit like this. After the premier party, I was ready to go out a preorder. Now, I’m just going to save my money for Persona 4 Arena.

so if we have to pay for these characters, does that basically make them an online pass?
After playing and losing myself for 2 hours not noticing the time pass that quick my $76(SE) bucks was well spent and I don’t think I mind all the dlc crap as much as earlier
Can’t be disappointed over something I expected. I just wish Sony hadn’t thrown so much money at Capcom. Fall is a LONG ways away ):
This is digital media though. The way I see it, Capcom gave you what they told they were giving you day 1: 38 characters and a fresh game. I guess people’s gripe has to deal with the untouchable fruit on the toy they bought.
It’s kind of a moral gray area, like selling a car but having to pay a premium to roll down the windows. Entirely optional but you’d expect it to have already come with the full purchase.
There’s nothing wrong w/ Capcom doing what they are doing w/ SFxT. Umvc3 though, that was a shifty business decision. I could care less if I’m getting new characters it just hurts that they charged full price for a half-completed title and another 40 for the other half (not counting Jill and Shuma). That felt like an attack on my wallet. I understand that UMVC3 and MVC3 have different systems but this is one of those cases where I felt that the release of MVC3 was a clear attempt at price skimming. It felt much like the 3DS recent price drop. I do not approve of this unethical market pricing strategy.
This one, on the other hand, is warranted (I hope) because Capcom gave a heads-up on what’s being offered. I don’t know the budgets video game development deals with but
A) It ain’t cheap.
B) Recouping the proceeds in full is never guaranteed
