Biggz posted:I bought Kum Haehyun in a recent sale 'cos I didn't think I could get him by fishing. Was I able to buy him with game cash? Arksys traditionally allows most their DLC characters to be claimed for free in the first week or two of their release. I know for a fact that I did not pay for Kum.

The character passes were on sale over Xmas, I think I picked up both for about £20 total? So roughly £60 for all the characters since the game came out doesn't seem too terrible.

If you want something at release you pay full price, if you can wait a while you get stuff in a sale.

Wish there was a try before you unlock feature Juri being by far the most popular new character in 4 and being turned into a worthless piece of poo poo who doesn’t even slightly resemble her old fighting style is hilarious

I never met a single good Juri in the whole of SF4, ever. She was too hard, too weird and too weak for most people to do anything with.

It is still undeniably lovely that you have to pay for balance patches in Xrd. Worth remembering, even though I like the game a lot, that's a silly and off-putting practice.

All games did it that way in ye olden days at least they did an upgrade pack for rev 2 instead of full price like rev1 and avoided a second version of bbcf like the previous bb series.

My main issue with how Capcom does seasons is that they don't discount poo poo, but as I've done time and time again I think anyone that wants the old revision model is an idiot and anyone who thinks continued support should be free because "i paid sixty bucks" is a dolt.

If you buy AE the day it comes out you won't even own all the characters in the game at that very moment, and that's very off-putting to most people.

Worth remembering, even though I like the game a lot, that's a silly and off-putting practice. not necessarily defending this, but I how much of this is because the paid versions have so many more new models/modes that would be a gigantic bitch to download over crappy capped PSN servers every version of the game has had at least one free balance patch, it's only when they bust out new story modes and characters that its $$$ time.

Stefan Prodan posted:they should at least let you use characters you don't own in training Yeah, so far I've bought the Russian chick who I really don't like and Abigail who owns. Got 500k fight money banked but since I have no idea how the characters feel, I'm too scared to take a punt in case I get another dud. Doubt I'll really dig Sakura but at least I'll get a chance to try her out. Shame it's so time limited though, it can take me a while to "get" characters.

I know I bought Season 1 for like $10 instead of $30 on PSN. Costumes and stages don't get discounts though.

If Capcom had gone for the F2P model properly, and made the base game free with a small roster, OR alternatively gone the MOBA models and made cash purchases only for cosmetics, they'd be sat on the biggest hill of money right now. But  developers (or their market, idk) apparently don't like it, so who knows.(Well, and had good net code. How SFV manages to be SO variable given the same company has put out other releases that work better online still eludes me.)

I’m not condoning the season model but I still have the distinct memory of paying $80 for SF2T on SNES to get four new characters that were on the original cart.
