Cool,lower the price and maybe you’d get more. Ain’t no way am I considering a fighting game for like 90-120$
Street fighter 4 did this very explicity.
I’m not discounting that the whole DLC characters thing has been around since 2 though and has gotten worse.
I remember 5 launched with a barebones roster where a lot of core characters were missing (basically the first edition of 3 all over again).
the Alpha/Zero and EX series did that (Alpha 3 on PSX made you work a little bit to unlock the PSX exclusive characters/forms), then there was also CvS and some of the Marvel games, but that was mixed in with a point and shop system I think.
Yeah, it’s more a thing with the other companies and their games. His point still stands though, not just for fighting games and their characters. Games now often come with barebones / stripped progression and the stuff is then sold as overpriced DLC that immediately unlocks the content instead.
Yeah. I gave up adding anything from them to my wishlist because they never drop in price to become actually affordable. They always stay expensive, even when the next game of the franchise is out.
I’m not sure what region you’re in, but in USD, it’s probably spent more time on sale at $30 than at the full price of $60 (EDIT: including right at this very moment). The free tier of their battle pass also gives out “character trials” like candy if you need to lab a matchup. It’s not the best solution to the training mode DLC problem, but it’s a solution that works on a budget.
Capcom is still in FY24. It ends March 2025.
This sounds like an excellent sign for MH wilds on PC
But muh piracy!
