I bet a lot of you guys bought the horse armor for Oblivion without thinking twice.
I really don’t understand why some of you can’t see why it’s total BS to have to pay extra to get things that are already on the disc. I mean, what’s next? Paying to unlock stages or even colors?
Because if you don’t pay, those things may as well not even be on the disc because you can’t use them.
its like going into a restaurant and paying for a meal only for it to be put straight on the table and for you to be told to pay extra for plates and cutlery.
Not really. It’s like going into a restaurant and paying for a meal and having it put on plates with cutlery, except for a dollar more you can have it put on different-looking plates. And not only for that meal, but having the option for either plate style on every future meal afterward.
it’s like buying a happy meal and paying extra just because of the toy, when you could have ordered the things in separate for less money. it’s optional.
EDIT: Then again, Tresjin’s post makes a lot more sense than mine.
I like it, but that’s assuming they’ll organize the alt. costumes like before for the old characters. I was thinking of this for organizing them, just for fun of course:
The New Challengers - Cammy, Fei-Long, T. Hawk, Dee Jay, Akuma
World Domination - M. Bison, Vega, Balrog, Seth, Sagat
Hadou - Ryu, Ken, Gouken, Akuma, Dan
Giants - Zangief, Abel, E. Honda, Rufus, Hakan (maybe)
Girl Power - Sakura, Chun-Li, C. Viper, Rose, Makoto
Speed Demons - Ibuki, Guy, El Fuerte, Juri, Adon
World Warriors - Guile, Dhalsim, Blanka, Gen, Cody
What? If we didn’t have to pay for them we would have to unlock them… You know, like normal untouchables.
[edit]
The restaurant example isn’t very good so I’ll give you guys a better one. It’s like announcing a game that will cost less money than the original, then showing all these cool content that makes you even more excited for the game, and then you find out you’ll have to pay extra for that content even though it’s already on the damn disc.
So you either pay 60+ dollars for all the content (making it pretty much the same price as the other game, making the lower price seem redundant) Or you stick with an unnecessarily gimped version of the game.
This happens a lot now-a-days though, and everyone understands that’s it’s a really stupid and douchey thing to do but for some reason a lot of SNK users don’t mind it.
god forbid capcom trying to make a living:rolleyes:
guys, just dont get your happy meal for the day
Are people actually seriously excited because of extra costumes? There’s hype over new characters, new ultras, gameplay rebalances, and you get all that for $40 but you consider the product flawed because extra outfits aren’t included in that $40?
And regarding “it’s on the disc”, that’s not the issue. When I said “if you don’t pay, those things may as well not even be on the disc because you can’t use them” is referring to the current SF4 system, not some hypothetical where you’d unlock them instead. You don’t have to buy them, but if you don’t buy them, the program routines allowing access to them will never light up. Hence them simultaneously being on the disc and being inaccessible.
I want Dudley in Tuxedo Mask’s outfit, considering he does throw roses.
So with SSFIV, will Abel’s wrestling singlet be available, or would I have to buy it?
Yes, because Capcom can’t make a living off their games alone and has to result to annoying business tactics. Might as well have a deal where if you pre-order the game at Gamestop you get early access to Championship Mode.
And what I’m saying is that there is no reason for them to be inaccessible, aside from wanting to make more money.
It would be much more noteworthy if a business didn’t want to make more money.
Haha, I knew someone was going to say that.
If you ask people what 2+2 is, you’re also going to know someone is going to say 4. In both cases, it’s because they’re the correct answer.
good lord namco and sega must be incompetent morons for having the majority of their costume items in for free in Tekken 6, Vf5 and SC4. Why let people unlock during gameplay, when there’s clearly thousands of people who would bend over for Capcom so they would’ve done the same.
And a lot of these Super alts look far worse than the stuff you can put together in those games too lol.
^ ^ Yep. Ryu, Ken, Rufus, Akuma, Honda, Seth, and Gouken’s alts are just lazy as hell in SF4.
it’s funny how people completely forget that back in the early 90s you paid 70 dollars for a cartridge sf2 turbo…yet games nowadays are 40-60 dollars…taking inflation into consideration we should be paying alot more…not less
I thought I remember Super Mario RPG being ridiculously high. That might’ve been why I was only able to rent the game.
