They need to have better selling titles before they try to milk them with DLC.
I think Ultimate only sold like 100,000 copies or something in the end? That doesn’t leave you with a lot of people who are paying attention and waiting on the edge of their seats to pay for DLC. If they can get a game to sell 3,000,000 copies (like MK9), then they can start thinking about regular DLC updates paying off.
If they keep withholding good stuff that should have been in the original release anyway, their initial sales numbers will keep going down. They’re going about it it in a totally ass-backwards way.
They also should be providing free DLC occasionally just to keep people watching for the premium updates they charge for.
Capcom is running business like it’s the 90’s or something.
something fishy is going on.
“Some of my friends that work at Gamestop are saying UMvC3X is in their system so either someone at Gamestop goofed or Sven is lying”

^yeah that
yeah the one game that did free dlc was the burnout whatever and people ate that shit up then the next year they released paid dlc and I dont think people were too mad at the idea because some stuff was free and some stuff premium. its how you keep interest. not constant paid updates no one gives two shits about.
i could.
but yeah its fake unless i hear other wise.
-impractical combos
-low damage
-zero has not won a toruney.
Yeah, one of my buddies got his SF x T copy yesterday and thats when they told him about UMvc3X.
Capcom is leaking more than a wet hoe at this point
So does anyone else on PSN have AH3? My Sentinel is putting a hurt on Kaiten
In a parallel universe i bet that’s true, and Hsien Ko and Tron Bonne are feared top tiers and Wesker has become viewed as one of the worst viable charactrers in FG history.
If only…

Exactly, free DLC gets people to put the game back in their PS3 and potentially get into it again. It keeps interest over time, rather than just at release. And that’s your best shot at getting to their wallet again.
If it’s always premium DLC, you lose 90% of people who aren’t raving fans of your game.
Wait you mean that some GameStop employee was like “hey man you wanna reserve UMvC3X”
And your bro was like “da fuck that’s not even been announced what are you babbling about”
And then the GSE was like “well fuck”
Is that what happened?

Well, I would agree that they need to chill out on the DLC and maybe put that capitol toward advertizing, but if you’re suggesting they should have more content at release I think that’s pretty ludicrous. Vanilla MvC3 was PACKED with content, it just came in the form of tons of characters because gamefaqs kids had their hands tied on that one. I would have prefered 25 characters and better modes/presentation but that’s not realistic these days. putting 60 characters in a game at launch is not a way to save money you just adding 100,000 dollars of development time with no way to get it back.
they can see the games ahead on their computers. they randomly do it in store while talking to each other on the computers.
the promotional image is where this becomes sketchy.
no vita inclusion.
anyway why did runaways cover art go SO far down hill after that woman who drew them before left?

the guy on the left of the bottom image is the same as the guy on the right of the top one. :nono:
So, who’s still playing their favorite fighters on…mame still ? UMK3 for life, biznitches. Let’s see who can resurrect KI2 now…
Indeed, only so much you can do, even if the game mechanics/combat system is beloved (and arguably now stale). After a bit more than a week, it was collecting dust.
That is pretty much exactly what happened.
JB: Yo, gimme dat SF x T
GS: Alright. I know you’re big on those capcom fighting games, wanna preorder UMv3X?
JB: WHAT THE FUCK IS DAT?
GS: Oh it says here it’s an update to UMvC3 with 8 DLC characters
JB: OH WE IN THEREEEEEE. But ya know, it’s not even announced yet…
GS: Oups. Well, lets pretend I didn’t say anything
JB is a black guy in case it’s not obvious here

What I mean is, if it’s a better game at launch, they’ll get better reviews, more hype and better sales numbers. Then you have a larger base to market your eventual DLC to.
If they wind up developing new content and their target market is the 100,000 people who bought Ultimate (of which maybe 30,000 are actually paying attention/willing to consider buying DLC), then look at your return on investment there. Doesn’t really work.
agreed it was a GREAT game but the lame additions for the other character is where it fell.
combat was my least favorite part of the game, so making it so i can pay 9 dollars to sit in a room and fight hundred of annoying enemies isn’t my idea of "hey come back and play THIS"
catwoman was so much lost potential.
still even with its faults, one of the best super hero games i’ve played. (the infamous games impressed me more because they were original and great, i still haven’t played festival of blood but i bought it.
That feel when you realize Arcana Heart 3 has better netcode than UMvC3 but no one plays it and is instead talking about DLC for the same inferior netcode game >__>
