There is so much drama coming out of this game because of cross assault and now there are a lot of people complaining about the day 1 DLC controversy.

If you don't know why day 1 DLC is frown upon:


Basically there are 12 characters on the disc that are not released yet and should be in the game. However Capcom does this so that they don't have to pay Xbox live every time they want to release a patch. Also they are going to sell power by selling certain gems.

I am still very excited for this game but I probably won't play it online since you probably need to buy gems in order to compete in the ladder.

"A lot of players were saying, 'I have to do button checks. Do I have to do a gem check now before a match?' With regards to that we plan to release a free post-launch tournament support mode," producer Yoshinori Ono told Eurogamer. "Hopefully from that we'll get feedback from the community, and then we'll have a better direction of exactly what we should do with this mode." Just so we're clear: The free mode will be released, and then based on how the mode is received, the mode will be changed? Crystal.

Ono also says that players shouldn't expect DLC gems at launch. Instead, Capcom is adopting a wait-and-see approach, gauging community reaction before plotting its next move. "In terms of DLC gems, we don't have any set plans on selling gems like this or like that," Ono said. "We're waiting to see what the user reaction is first, because we think a lot of users still don't understand the gem system completely. They're not power-up items. That's not how we see them. We put gems into the game which are default. As long as you have these default ones you'll be fine. If you want to get more gems down the road from the pre-order bonuses, you can definitely do that, but it doesn't make you stronger, it doesn't make you a better player, it doesn't mean you'll have an advantage."

I hope you are just misinformed, but if not then please stop spreading misleading information. The tournament viability of this game will not be jeopardized because of gems.

So you will stick with a game that forced you to buy a standalone expansion (super sf4), rather than DLC that would have cost under half the money for even more content than SSF4 had?

/mindblown

I've said it before and I'll say it again... People complained about UMvC coming out 9 months after release... yet if you remember back in 1998 BW had less development time for that. And cost just as much to buy... Yet you did not hear people complaining back then.

Speaking specifically about SF series, back in the SF2 days Capcom gave even less content than you get in DLC now (usually 4 chars each release) and it cost as much as a full game. We're actually BETTER OFF spending $15 dlc instead of having to buy a full game at full price... but people still complain?

Gamers act so entitled these days...

I played SSF4 for years and I'm having a lot of trouble getting the hang of this game. It feels like a wonderful fighter, though.

I guess I'm just overwhelmed, I mean everything can link into a chain, and I have no idea which ones I should be depending on, how to deal with wake ups anymore, when to jump in, and tagging... Gahhh, my mind is blown.

Training mode all day with Kazuya, will use Xiaoyu or Chun Li as my second.

Just a warning for those who are thinking about picking up the game for the 360, the pair play mode, 2 players wanting to team up against other players online is missing from the 360 version

Yeah, I don't know why either.. it's in plenty of other 360 games.. :/

I have to disagree completely with TotalBiscuit and anybody who's complaining about the DLC on disc model. There is no difference whether a company is spending X hours of development on DLC content before or after the game is released. You would be fine with paying for the content if the Capcom programmers were working on it starting today, and it comes out in three months? But you're not fine with paying for it if they began working on it three months ago?

Look, if Capcom wanted to, they could include 200 characters in SFxT at release. It wouldn't be a backbreaking amount of additional work (balance issues aside). They've determined that ~40 is a healthy number, and I totally agree, I do not feel ripped off purchasing a game with 40 playable characters. After determining that, they set off to work on the DLC content while balancing and other stuff was going on for the core mechanics of the game. I don't care whether those DLC characters were created a week ago, a month ago, or ten years ago, the same amount of work went into them and Capcom has decided that work should not be free.

When you buy a car, do you say to yourself "Why did I pay $15,000 and only get this entry-level car when a $60,000 luxury car costs almost the same amount of money for the company to produce?" Or if you buy the luxury car, same question in reverse. Nothing is priced fairly, it's priced based on what the consumer will pay, and it's not greedy for Capcom to do this because the core game they are delivering is still worth the price.
