Really?? I don't recall such an option. There was some fighting game that gave the option between "original" and "arrange" mechanics. I thought it was 3rd Strike, but it may have been just between that and 2nd Impact. I'll have to check. ALSO:

IIRC, the version of third strike that came with the street fighter anniversary collection had this option.

I'd buy a third version of SF4. We all had 3 versions of SF2 back in the day. Aside from map packs, DLC is, at best, lazy and at worst, evil and greedy. Lazy: For 1/1000 of the effort it takes to make a new game they can get 1/10 of the money they'd get for a new game. Greedy and evil: The DLC is planned out in advance, meaning that the company is releasing an intentionally incomplete game and then charging you more money to complete the game. Soul Calibur IV is a great example of this. Vader and Yoda are both ALREADY ON THE FUCKING DISC no matter which version you buy.

Meh. I'd rather one game keep a faithful community through additional content, even if it's just small additional quests and extra characters here and there, than have to buy a new game every year. I can't even tell you how many friends I have that I now cannot play street fighter with online because they kept vanilla when I upgraded to super.

I'm also not too fond of having to buy a new sports game or call of duty game every year for minor upgrades to the same formula. I'd rather just have one copy of modern warfare and buy new downloadable campaigns for it or something.

I don't mind shit like paying to unlock vader, because he's just bonus content. not being able to play as vader or yoda would not take away from my soul calibur experience in any way, shape, or form. if they had sold me half of a game and then made me pay to unlock the rest of it, I would be more pissed.

Kinda like the RE5 DLC. I didn't mind paying to unlock versus mode, because I still had the full campaign and full mercenaries mode (at the time). Versus mode was just a neat little addition. If it wasn't included at all I wouldn't even notice it missing. I was more pissed about how the mercenaries reunion mode was handled. The Two extra chapters were well worth my money, however. Great example of what proper DLC should be.

Something feels unnappealing about DLC characters, like your paying a second time for a character that you should have gotten in the first place. Lawlz. Nobody should ever support continued play of their games by thinking up new content later. Fuck map packs, fuck additional quests, and fuck new characters. :rolleyes: Note I did not mention map packs or additional quests, so don't put words in my mouth. I was specifically talking about characters who are already made and done, who are then withheld for the express purpose of DLC. Characters and game settings should be a given or included in a new disc. Its my opinion, and I'm well within my right to withhold all purchases until they put it together onto an All-Stars disc if I have to.

cool story bro, but I don't see any mention of Map packs or additional quests in the post that I quoted. I see you bitching about how you shouldn't have to pay for DLC because it should have been in the game originally. Also, the street fighter DLC is handled nothing like the blazblue DLC, so I don't even see where you're going there. These are characters taht were thought up after the game launched, and will be offered as additional downloads. The Blazblue characters, while already on the disc, weren't even complete files. most of the stuff was placeholder crap because teh game was rushed.

If I misread your post or something, then I apologize for offending you for no reason, however.

Also, those hakan and balrog costumes are pretty fucking sweet.

what exactly will be new in RB3?

Where can I read a tracklist?

I forgot how fun it was to play as yang. I can't wait to see how sfiv treats him.

Yeah. He's not as good on a professional level, but he's more fun to play as IMO.

yang's first ultra is the best to me, with yun's second being the stupidest.

I just feel that a lot of the ultras in general are kinda silly looking. I wish they would have gone more in the direction of "beat the crap out of the guy in an awesome way" like Ken's first ultra, and less in the direction of " let's see how craaaazy we can be with the physics!" like C.Viper's second.

For every guy that asks for a good character, there's three assholes clamoring for evil ryu in every single capcom game.
