The games don’t update on a six month schedule. Development time between updates usually takes about a year, sometimes more. It just seems like it’s six months a lot of the time because of the staggered release schedules between JP arcade releases and when we get it on consoles.
The Extend versions kinda suck, yeah, but they’re not full price. Also, all of the latest DLC characters have been temporarily free, so you weren’t required to pay for them if you were on the ball.
75 percent of those games will cast a middle aged white male
30 percent will involve zombies
another 30 will involve soldiers
the last 20 percent will have aliens
All of the trailers will have that one helpful friend giving you a hand and then pointing to the action to start the gameplay.
SF5 will reveal a character on Sony’s stage. People will get hype. The character is new.
Nintendo is not going to show anything anyone wants, or anything they might consider. its going to be the worst conference
Microsoft will hire Fetty Wapp and Drake to do performances this year.
I fall asleep and dream about SEGA announcing JSR U with Bikes and skateboards added, custom characters, custom graffiti, a plot involving music artists that the GG’s signed, and new dances.
Capcom teases a new fighting game, only for SNK to go on stage and interrupt them saying that they had a turn not capcom. They both show similar trailers with similar graphics. its revealed to be one game.
ArcSys is on some bullshit. No, you don’t have to buy any of the stuff, but they pass out new discs like its candy. Every second there’s an update to one of their games, and every time they retail those updates for $40-$60 when it can usually serve as a patch. I’ve seen games with much bigger updates that stay on the one disc… ArcSys has no excuse and no one should be defending their business practices. Capcom isn’t as bad as them, and they’re condemned for it. Hell, they just released, the albeit broken, PS4 version of USF4 with ALL the DLC for just $25(much less than it would cost to buy the DLC alone). ArcSys would NEVER do that. What they do, however, is sell a bunch of $8 characters and $5 aesthetics(glasses, colors), wait for you to buy it, then repackage the game “updated” with the characters you just paid for. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the color and glasses packs you bought for the last version aren’t compatible with the new one. The costume purchases from Vanilla SF4 carried over all the way to USF4, and it’s been 3 discs/6 years.
If Po’s right about something, it’s that people need to stop being biased and start calling things as they are. It’s ironic coming from him, but it’s true nonetheless.
I am pretty sure that everyone here agrees that asw should learn about how capcom managed their updates of ssf4 with offering them vía patch and disc.
But unfortunately the time they did that with bbcs to bbcs2 the majority of people decided to wait on the next revisión aka bbsex.
Hell they actually gave bbcs2 for free only leaving the chars as the thing to buy which imo was the best way to handle it, since it didn’t divide the online community.
Sadly the general fanbase spoke with their wallet.
That’s because the game had 3 4 $8 DLC characters and everyone figured they were going to release an updated version with them all packaged anyway…that’s exactly what they did.
You can’t blame the consumer here, because they made the smart choice.
Arguable, but some would say it isn’t for a character who’s already on the disc.
$60 for BBCS.
$8 x 4 for the DLC characters.
That’s $92 for a complete game. Then they release another disc for $40 along with another $8 DLC character. Then they do it again, and again. You call it being cheap… Others call it refusing to get robbed.
Yup, that’s what most would argue in this case. That’s why I omitted the truly optional(and ludicrous) DLC. Characters in a fighting game… You gotta buy those if you’re anything more than casual and want a full game. You can buy Kokonoe and play her/learn her moves, or you can refuse to, go to a tournament, and get bopped because you don’t know what she does. Apply the same thing to online play… You don’t want to get rocked by a character you can’t even select.
(I’m aware you’re being sarcastic, this is toward those who would genuinely argue that)
A single fighting game character provides potentially hundreds of hours of content to explore. Eight bucks is pretty much peanuts for that, especially with characters that are as unique and fun as Arc’s.
yeah but like phantom said it is updated so frequently that whatever you learned is pretty much useless outdated info although some of it does carry over, but now you have to buy the new version.
that’s sort of the reason i stopped playing blazeblue, didn’t feel like learning my main 6 times over.
