Still gonna buy SF x Tekken day one, from what I've seen this game looks a lot better than i expected.

.

I'll wait for SF x Tekken: Hyper Fighting edition 6 months after the original's release....

thats not really a fair comparision, im sure madden would patch a broken game, update the rosters...

NOW if madden came out with a Playoff edition that had all of the updated playoff rosters and probowl teams n patched dynasty modes And sold it for $40 while not allowing for backwards compatability half a year later...

then thats a fair comparision

Capcom patches their games, just not on a balance-tweak overload that MK does. They fix it so that shit isn't broken (or at least in their minds), and that everything works as intended.

Then, months later, they decide to pretty much rework the game as far as a "what worked and what didn't work, what should we try to improve" standpoint.

Your "fair comparison" assumes that pretty much the system of how things work is exactly the same as the previous version, and the only thing that changed was pretty new characters. And that's not true of what capcom is doing, let alone "fair".

It is to my understanding that you will not win this argument vs Misogi. It will continue to go back and forth like a see saw.....let it go Apollo.

NRS supports MK, theyve done so since release...

Ur apologist view of capcom business practices not withstanding, you cant deny that a reworked, DLC bundled version of a game that was released 6 months ago doesnt render the original game to appear like a glorified Beta. MVC3 and DR2 were broken games upon release; Capcom saw this; Fixed them and added DLC, then cashed out with a new version less than a year after the original's release. You cant tell me this isnt a bullshit practice bc it is. My only comfort is knowing that consumers have caught on; UMVC3 sold less than 1 million units Globally.

UMvC3 stages not fresh? You're telling me that a freakin completely snow covered level is not new to you?

So what if they didn't patch MvC3? THEY ARE OFFERING US UMVC3 FOR A MERE 40 DOLLARS.

capcom Pisses all over their fanboys and they just lap it up and ask for more..., good thing theyre a minority; if VGchartz is to be believed UMVC3 sold less than 600k worldwide[vita sales not included]

The main thing that bugs me is the fact they never put out a main third game. I've played all of the titles except birth by sleep, just never got around to it, and at this point and time I just want a conclusion god dammit.

Quick question. If you preorder a game on amazon does it charge you the 60 at that point or when the game is released?

Did Twigg write this shit? The writer has no idea wtf he's talking about. Although he does make some really valid points. The bottom line is: if you've only ever played 1 & 2 then it's literally impossible to understand the story of the series. There's two other games going on between 1 & 2. They paint the handheld games as "spin offs" and that's just completely false. It's really not that hard of a series to understand if you just want to take the time to read up on it, and it really can make plenty of sense. What it is, is that people just give up and then they start bashing it.

I wish they would use worlds from Toy Story & Robin Hood. Even Monsters Inc. could be badass. Disney needs to take the blinders off and let square make their game for KHIII. They HAVE to use brand new worlds for the final game. I would :fap: like crazy.

Here's a decent (completely dumbed down) summary of the series from BBS --> before DDD

They charge you when it ships. Not when you buy it. They still haven't taken my money out from my Games of Thrones pre-order.

Just had a killer game of super stardust HD, doubled my high score with 52,450,875.

Didn't die once until the fourth stage of the fourth planet right as I got my 10x multiplier (only the second time I've done that). After that I lost my mojo a bit and lost more lives than I should have against the 2 bosses on the last stage. I was almost at the last boss at segomo before I ran out of lives.

Microsoft announced it is going to release a white Xbox 360 slim with Kinect bundle.

It is when it ships. Surprised me, because I had almost forgotten that I pre-ordered a game and then I saw Amazon charged me months later. I wish they would give the option to pay up front, because I would imagine some people would prefer that.
