Don’t know about MK and KoF, but no way in hell I’m buying another instalment of BB. I almost bought CT when they announced CS, I cancelled my order immediately and later on bought CS. Then, came DLC chars… and I don’t even want to discuss how overpriced they were, but I’ve got em too(gameshared with my friend but whatever)… and now they’re selling CSEX, box version again($80 for crying out loud), with no DLC option. NOPE, not buying anything from ArcSys ever again 
(ok, I’ll buy GG >_>)
tl;dr - DLC chars for fighting games are the worst fucking idea ever, EVER.
If it was any company but Namco I’d agree, but it took them three years to get Tekken 6 from arcades to consoles. Assuming they don’t skip the update to TTT2 for the console release like they did for T6, that’s still about a year (T6:BR came out around Christmas 08, and then the console version was in like October).
$80 is only the price becasue of the conversion rate, that’s the Japanese price. Yes I agree that the characters are overpriced but it hurts a competitive player to not buy dlc characters. I don’t really want DLC characters but I would have no problem with dlc characters if they are 5 dollars plus it adds variety.
You don’t need to buy them to stay competitive. While you won’t be able to play them you can still battle against them to learn the matchup. Access isn’t completely denied.
That’s not the point - it’s that ArkSys forcing players to buy whole package instead of another free update +DLC char(it’s only one character after all), like they did with CS2. But I digress…
Can’t wait for SFxT reveals hggnnhhh…
Oh, and seems like Marvel folks will get their portion tomorrow, so I hope Capcom won’t make us wait too long.
True but there’s more work involved. Let’s use blazblue as the example. I brought Makoto and played her for a while. I know what she’s capable of, her gameplan, and what’s safe and unsafe. There are two other characters that I don’t own. For these characters, I have no idea of the name or notation of their moves so looking up frame data is kind of bad. I basically have to go through trial and error in tons of casual matches before i figure them out completely which is not a bad thing but just requires more time. Still, it hurts you if you’re in a scene where you have bi weeklies or monthly tournaments.
I honestly, don’t want DLC characters but if they do make them for this game I just want them to be reasonably priced.
lmao $80, are you importing or what?
and maybe you find the chars overpriced but others feel that the price is right
also are you forgetting that you got BBCSII for free???
DLC for fighting games are the best fucking idea ever, it lets you get the games without the need of buying revisions over and over
GTFO!
at this point people should know that any game from this generation onwards would have DLC, in some form, so they should stop complaining about it
KoF kinda needs that DLC money boost after 12…
Yet when it comes to SF, you do it anyways…
as homeboy was implying…it is too much in the long run especially for those who got the vanilla game…i know i did for both…do i regret it…not really…you cant price the time you had with the game but…being realistic i can see why its a problem.
BB CT $49[$59 CE](before tax)
BBCS $39, Makoto DLC $8, Valkenhyan $8, Trinity $8.
even if you only got BBCS your still paying $63+tax before extra DLC such as colors and system voices…thats the point.
your always going to buy new revisions the game…your just being alittle more cost effective to those who own the game already. but this discussion don’t belong here~
back to SFxTK who is all going to be a NYCC? and is someone going to have their own coverage of the game?
oh no 63 dollars for a game that would give me hour and hours of fun…
plus anyone knows that sooner or later we would have to buy the revision, so wtf…
compared to that people is willing to pay $60 for games like God of War 3, Batman Arkaham Asylum, etc, games that you would play only once at best 2 or 3 if you want the trophies i dont see the problem
god lord with the people whining about ridiculous stuff
considering the fact that Gears 3 and Batman both are AAA status games and offer alot more to the Casual gamer…thats a no brainier…also considering they are getting a “New Game” as oppose to, you say a revision. Yeah i would pay $60 for a new game then paying $24 for DLC for a game i already have twice…
to us Fighting Gamers thats not all that much…considering i had bought SFIV 3 times over now+ all the Alts…no for me, it isnt much…but then again im the guy who indulges himself in collector editions…but not everyone is like me and don’t want to spend all their money to get the same experience…That is a problem.
and tht is why CSEX is adding a lot of crap for that public
anyway considering that srk is 1st a community for competitive fighting games enthusiast, the fact that people is complaining about developers trying to give us more options for our games is just plain stupid
write it down and i’ll try it out tomorrow.
I’ll send you a list Jae The One. Its going to be stuff about Nina,Bob,Poison,Chun-li,Marduk,sagat and lili
zzz…got hype cause I saw a new SFxT video in my youtube box. Turns out it was Capcom finally putting up the trailer from TGS on their channel. -_-
Thanks. Do u want me to post iy here or pm it?
send me more questions guys. since tomorrow is the first day and wont be as crowded since its going to be a weekday i will have much more time to actually try out some stuff. don’t you guys want to know some stuff on Lili, Rolento, poison and others? i hate when i check on character stuff its only for certain characters every time so i want to try to cover every character but in order for me to do that i need you guys to ask about things about the character, what setups you want me to try and about the game in general.
See if Ryu’s EX SF3 kick can be comboed into from chain, and if he can juggle off of it when not in the corner.
Can u see what Hwoarang’s punch buttons do? Oh and can u try Julia and see what her specials are and if she can stun people with one of her lunge punches( i forget which 1) just on counter hit or normally. And how many teleports raven has. Oh and can you try to bust out some normal tekken combos with anybody to see if thats actually tru that you can do it with all of them. And can you try to find out how useful Marduk’s command grabs are? And how many claps can Hugo do in succession. And if while Yoshimitsus indian stance heals him just like in tekken
he can combo from it but it cant be cancelled from chain.
