It's a real sad sign of things to come in the gaming industry. It's a sad day in gaming given that a company can publicly admit to on-disc locked content and gamers throw up their hands and say "No probs, here's my money".
Fighting game enthusiasts like myself would have been excited to pay extra for characters like Guy, Dudley, Bryan, Lars and Lei (to name a few) as DLC, but certainly not when they're already on a disc we already own. The game features an interesting blend of Tekken and Street Fighter mechanics that emphasizes comboability and execution above all else. There are more gamers out there willing to be ripped off than gamers who would prefer to take a stand against this kind of cash gouging. Street Fighter X Tekken is the crossover fighting game that fighting game fans have been waiting for ever since Marvel vs. Nevertheless, Capcom knows they can get away with this. The least Capcom could have done was what Rockstar, Valve and Bethesda do: release the game, reap some sales and then release DLC based on the principle of extending the gameplay as an optional service to fans. DLC is to help extend the life of a game not to gouge gamers who already own the content and must pay extra to access it.
This IS NOT downloadable content, it's disc-locked content and unlike the Mass Effect 3 DLC this was not completed after the game went gold it was already a part of the game except it's just locked away until you pay extra for it, after you already buy the game with the content on it.Īdded to this, games usually have DLC in the pipeline if gamers enjoy the product. Street Fighter X Tekkens base roster includes 19 characters from each franchise for a total of 38.An additional 12 fighters, six from each side, were released as DLC for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on July 31, 2012, and for the PC on February 6, 2013. As a reminder, the retail version of the game will be the only disc-based version consumers will need to own and all future upgrades will come from post-launch DLC. More specifics regarding pricing, dates and other additional exciting DLC plans for Street Fighter X Tekken will be shared at a later date.
