i just dont see the point of trying to learn a game if capcoms gonna go change it around =.
but as for stuff like alternate costumes, i never purchase that stuff anyway. if capcoms gonna milk suckers out of 5 bucks for deadpool to fight in boxers, more power to them. i just find the whole idea lame
DLC kinda makes me feel half happy.
It’s like yea he/she finally got in but wasn’t important enough to get in to the retail roster.
It’s like you have him, yea. But You don’t get the same feeling that you would have gotten if he/she was in the retail roster.
You can predict this discussion 100% in all of its parts every time it comes up, its kinda funny 
Yeah, Like BlazBlue and Street Fighter 4!!!
…
I like DLC.
I guess it has something to do with me not being poor.
Can’t speak too much for SF, but SSF4 was at reduced pricing as was CS. The DLC characters prolong the lifespan of the metagame for BB, although they’re doing a balance patch for that too.
For SSF4, they added so much that the DLC would have probably out priced the 40$ game anyway.
And for BB, its a very different game with the system changes and the character tweaking. Some characters like Lambda and Arakune are just totally reworked. The game got a lot more work on the existing stuff than SSF4.
But we got Makoto a year early, and will get Valk and Platinum.
My need to have the last word in every argument is conflicting with my forsight of this debate lasting way too long for the effort I would put into it. errghh
so you preffer to pay $40 to $60, and wait a year in order to play the new game, besides hearing the announcement of the new game 6 months after you bought your game only making you wish to play the new game and not touching the old one
imo DLC’s are a great advantage to getting the games updated, dunno why some people hate the idea
Yes, there’s that. If you don’t want the DLC don’t download it, regardless of being on the disc or not. And patches aren’t forced unless you go online. It’s all optional. Besides, I’m pretty sure that even if most people complained and whined as much as they could about balance changes or new characters, we’d all still play and use them if we wanted the game to live. At least at tournaments and etc. If not…well then you’d either stop playing or input some rules (which, again, isn’t an option most of the time).
I like DLC.
zzz zzz
DLC is nice for people who just plays in their homes, and it’s a pain for tournament organizers…
every station that runs, let’s say a BlazBlue CS tournament will have to buy and install every DLC char before the event…
That said, you all know that a lot of tournament organizers, specially in small events, can get a hold on the consoles that will run the tournament only in the day of the event, and they will, most likely have nothing bought on them…
So you would still have to hope for an available internet connection so you can buy and download everything just to be able to properly run the event…
Man… I get worried just by thinking what will happen to my events once this DLC story becomes standard…
This is a GREAT point, and one of the big reasons I am for DLC ONLY if a disc version is also available. If we get additional characters post-release, I think a game like MvC3 demands a somewhat large number of them (especially considering you need 1 new Capcom character for every Marvel character, and vice versa).
Would people be for a Super MvC3 if Capcom added in more characters than were added in the jump from SF4 to SSF4? Let’s say somewhere between 12 and 16 new characters?
I think this type of situation may be ideal if the demand is there. It will depend on sales of MvC3 obviously, but I know SSF4 exceeded Capcom’s expectations, so they may believe the situation will be the same for MvC3.
Imagine how much of a draw a new version with an expanded roster will be if Capcom adds in highly requested characters like Gene and Phoenix Wright, along with some of the most popular MvC2 characters that didn’t make the initial cut. That would be amazing.
DLC is not a problem if you run the events on a ps3 since you can have the DLC on 5 PS3, now if is on 360…
i run tournaments and events from time to time, and i still dont see this as a problem
Well, I’m an organizer for Portal Versus which is a website that’s becoming the biggest tournament organizer in Brazil for fighting games…
we run a number of events (nowadays it’s at least 3 a month) in 5 different cities…
so we need a lot of hardware…
our tournaments tend to use 7 terminals or so, and the problem is those consoles are not always the same ones, and the places we can get not always have reliable internet connections…
the problem is not even financial, is more like a practical one.
If you run events with almost no support, you’ll have trouble, as I have, to get 7 LCD TVs with little to no lag, 7 PS3 and 7 games and make the event marginally profitable so I at least can do it without losing money…
Sometimes the consoles won’t have the DLC installed on them…
this is no problem as I bought them and I can install them on 5 PS3… ok…
still… the place I’m running the event in has to have a reliable internet connection so I can download those updates… If this place hasn’t got an internet connection, doesn’t matter that I could get the console, TV and game, I won’t be able to use it unless I can get access to the hardware some days before the event, but that’s not always an easy thing to do.
well, I agree it’s not the end of the world, but surely it’s a problem.
Good tournaments will have the DLC.
Not to mention, Capcom could give a rat’s ass about what tourney organizers do. DLC for all companies is to make a quick buck anyway, so thinking Capcom is some kind of ultimate evil for doing so is just so moronic. You want ultimate evil, look in your wallet.
DLC characters for Marvel… no thank you, what if the characters you have to buy were the best ones in the game or something… I couldn’t play the godtier because I couldn’t pay for them? I’m buying it on release, that’s $60 right there… AND I have to buy the characters, if Capcom does this they can go fuck themselves…
Alt Costumes are perfectly fine…
or you could just wait til MvC4 and enjoy the game were given
