hello internet posted:Is this even a real thing in 2023 or is it just another case of gamer superstition? It’s very much a real thing, you notice it with non-guaranteed transmission protocols like UDP because with guaranteed protocols, the high bandwidth will mask the effect by just requesting any dropped packet again and having it get sent successfully without you noticing. Non-guaranteed real time transmissions like game inputs can be highly affected by radio interference.

Between the sneaky DRM inclusion last second and the NDA lifting for everything but how costumes are obtained is making me fear a last minute fumble by capcom

reviewers have mentioned there are battle passes and premium currencies because Capcom just had to find a way to gently caress things up

quote:Street Fighter 6 follows a seasonal DLC pattern, with the first season of post-release characters already announced. In addition, Capcom will be adopting a “Battle Pass” format for SF6, (“Fighter’s Pass”) with free and premium tracks offering rewards for players. Costumes, colors, avatar gear, and other items will be purchasable via “Fighter Coins” (real currency) and “Drive Tickets” (earned in-game). Each character currently has one alternate costume that can be unlocked through playing World Tour. https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/street-fighter-6-review-destructoid-fgc-capcom-fighting-games/ Sounds like you can still just buy them a la carte if you want

I've never played much of games with battle passes, it's really going to depend on what sort of stuff you get from it. I'm not actually sure what this could be for in the long run, there are only so many alternative costumes and colors you could have.

In f2p games. It's pretty lame to buy a game at full retail price only to find that there's tons of stuff locked behind paying even more. I wouldn't begrudge them at all for shifting to that kind of model like a year after release in order to keep supporting more content, but rolling it out right out the gate is just greedy.

Battle passes as a concept aren't inherently a problem imho. It's a stupid industry trend that will pass in time. That said, fighting games are a good genre for them. It's just cosmetics so I can't get fussy about it. I'm so glad the reviews are lining up with my expectations. I think this game is gonna do some very big numbers and there gonna be so much new blood in the community.

Also if you can just buy stuff a la carte, that kinda makes it a bit better.

Yeah having a free path is certainly a better option, but in-game currency or DLC cosmetics is just modern gaming economics. Once it fucks with gameplay and there's a degree of 'pay to win' it becomes a real problem.DLC Inc posted:my main complaint is the ultimate edition doesnt even tell you wtf the 8 outfits you get are and who they are for It's 8 different Rufus costumes for Ryu.

Battle passes in my experience have avoided pay to win stuff since there's a reasonable awareness that players hate that, though I hardly have an exhaustive knowledge of battle passes across all gaming. That said they're still super annoying when the tasks need you to go out of your way or use characters you don't play to accomplish them (looking at you Gundam evo, but that's a case study in terrible monetization). If it's just keep playing the game and you can buy the stuff in it regardless, then whatever, I was going to do that anyway. Sure it'd be better if it was free, but that ain't the world we live in.

Cosmetics are a big deal, to the tune of billions of dollars. If you're not into them great but this poo poo is evil for those of us who are. I'm not buying SF6, I'm not getting FOMO'd, I refuse to support this. I'll buy the ultimate in 3 years at 40 bucks and save hundreds. If this is how it's gonna be, oh well.

Double Bill posted:Did you skip SF4 and SF5 too, because this isn't new. I bought Ultimate SF4. Never bought SF5 because it was over-monetized and got bad reviews from Trusted Gamer Friends when it came out. I simply will not support this poo poo. Battle Passes are gaming poison. I am 100% ok with "pay money get character" DLC but BPs are a whole different and terrible level. Edit: the only kind that isn't is the "buy the pass and it never expires and you can get the stuff whenever" but that is not how they work, scumbag psychology poo poo.

I think I paid like $50 for SFV at release (also from GMG) and then bought an upgrade pack that included a bunch of DLC a bit later for like another $20 or something. Wasn’t that bad tbh.
