ULTIMATE Marvel vs Capcom 3...!? FUUUUUUUU-

[Goemar]

A lack of a support for such a title is just poor.

While there has been a lack of support, quite a bit of it (unless revealed otherwise) was a result of the tsunami.

I find this very very hard to believe. I mean if that was the case wouldn't there be at least plans for DLC prior to that?

For the people who brought the game the first time around they've spent $60+$40. $100 on this game. Instead of just the one time purchase.

Yes, and it sucks. Here is where I will agree with you; Marvel vs Capcom 3 was sold as a blatantly incomplete game. It is missing many core features that should have been included in the first place. People have a right to be upset about that part. I am even bothered about it myself, but it is not such a big deal that Capcom should be sent to a firing squad.

That's my main issue. I don't feel good about Capcom asking me to pay to fix for something they broke.

If a game is re-released with additional content that content should be available for people who already own the game without having to buy it again.

Except this is sort of different, because this is twelve brand-new characters, rebalancing, updated gameplay mechanics, etc. It's a little bit bigger than a patch-- you'd have to download quite a lot of data.

All the DLC for games like Fallout and Dragon Age come under the "lot of data" category, so this isn't much of a point.

As for specific things like DLC characters being bought separately and only buying the ones you want-- that would throw off online play significantly. Just look at MK9's online play-- incompatible patch players are all over the place; some characters without any DLC characters at all! Meaning that if you did a lot of practice with, say, Rain, and the opposing player doesn't have the Rain DLC, you can't use Rain. Having the option to pick and choose what characters you want is nice, but if you never actually get to use them in competitive play-- what's the point?

A title patch allowing you to play against the characters but not play as them could be easily done. Hell if Everybody's Golf can do it so can this.

Imagine if instead of the big DLC for Fallout 3 being DLC, it came out on disc every time, with the original game (sure your save would still work in this case). It would just be stupid, and that's what this is - stupid.

Except Fallout 3 DLC is usually one or two missions and some new items. It's not a giant update like this is.

Again Dragon Age and Fallout 3's DLC take up a big chunk of data

Is UMvC3 dumb in essence?

Yes, it's very dumb in essence. They could have delayed MvC3 longer and then U wouldn't have to exist.

Exactly.

For tournament players, yes good for you - enjoy the game. But for the rest of us I think we have a right to be a bit miffed at Capcom for this (along with Monster Hunter Portable 3 looking like it's not getting an English release, Megaman Legends 3 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record).

Plus: Thanks a decent response.
