See, this is why I didn't get the first one, because I knew that Capcom would do this. So I'm most likely going to get this.

Okay, "IF" capcom decided to make each character $3, you are looking at $36 for having ALL new characters. That is not including Jill and Shuma for another $3 each. So to my own eyes, $40 is at a discount price. So Capcom could charge you $60+ for an updated roster OR give you a repackage of the game for $40.Sabinfrost said:I really am curious why they cannot just release the characters for a decent price over DLC instead of re-boxing an entire game. You're lagging behind technology Capcom
While you think that's good take a look at their other DLC for MvC3. Do you see the costumes? like 1 for 5 characters. Do you think it's comparable to price costumes the same as a full character? 5 bucks for a character is overpriced. And it's stupid to do the math that way anyway. You can't make a price for a game out of it's components. That's just silly.HigherTomorrow said:squidbuddy99 said:I'm really against Capcom right now. They treat their fans like sheep, forcing them to buy another version of a game, thereby making the original useless, just for some characters that could easily be sold as DLC. I don't care that there's some admitedly awesome characters, I'm not shelling my money for a game I already have because Capcom is too lazy/greedy for 5$ character downloads. Now if I want to kick ass with Nemesis or Ghost Rider, I have to also buy even more characters I don't care about, because God forbid I can actually buy characters seperately. Not only that, but now my MvC strategy guide I bought just to get better at the game might as well be a 40$ stack of looseleaf. AND since everyone will be buying the new version, I'll be faced with empty servers online, FORCING me to buy the damn game.
In summary, go straight to hell, Capcom and take your 40$ DLC with you. And to my fellow Escapists, don't be fooled by this obvious cash-grab and save your money for a product not spawned by greed.
$40 for 12 characters (as previously stated, all priced at $5 a pop. That's $60 ;]), 8 stages, a complete UI overhaul, online overall, and overall gameplay tweaks.
I assumed you'd much rather pay $60 for the characters, about $16 for the stages, and $15 for the gameplay update? $91-DLC? Sounds much better than a $40 disc. Fuck Capcom and their tricks!!!!!
I hadn't even thought about that, but between several Asians, aliens and supernatural beings it hadn't struck me that the racial diversity could use a bit more work indeed.HigherTomorrow said:50 characters and only 2 of them are black (with one or two, Akuma and C. Viper, being ambiguously brown) so I guess Capcom's a damn racist. I agree, Rocket Raccoon could've been switched with Ms. Marvel and I would've been fine with that. We need more uber-batshit-powerful females like Phoenix and less...Raccoons. Although I still love Rocket Raccoon, total badass there.Pedro The Hutt said:Twelve characters and not one of them's a girl... Sexist much Capcom?
And where are the Rival Schools characters?
Edit: I'm also deeply worried that UMvC3 will still be a broken unbalanced mess.
And yeah, dunno about MvC3 being broken and unbalanced, just X-factor. I hope that's been nerfed. It looked a bit like it was in the gameplay videos I've seen, but I'm still unsure.
But where the Hell is MEGAMAN X!?!? Did Capcom not get my 40,000 + Letters!?!?Toasty Virus said:PHOENIX WRIGHT!?
THIS IS SO FIRST DAY BOUGHT.

I held out on getting MvC3 and only gave it a rent because this was likely to happen so now I just might pick it up. I'll have to wait and see how much added content there will be besides characters. The repetitive arcade and barebones multiplayer mode in the old one was not satisfactory.
Angry Joe is an idiot. Why would you say that the game is solid by rate the game low because of the lack of bonus features? Games are not a product of practicality, so judging them as such is completely illogical and down right offensive to those who make games.Lenriak said:What about game modes, I can't stop thinking that Angry Joes game-mode comparison between MvC3 and MK 2011 was kinda a bit of a bad joke from Capcom.
I guess I can see where you're coming from, just wish our black brothers were represented a little better.Pedro The Hutt said:I hadn't even thought about that, but between several Asians, aliens and supernatural beings it hadn't struck me that the racial diversity could use a bit more work indeed.HigherTomorrow said:50 characters and only 2 of them are black (with one or two, Akuma and C.

They should add Luke Cage, voiced by Isaiah Mustafa. (Hello ladies~)
The characters in MvC3 were made from scratch, even if they were in many cases based off of their 2D sprite counterparts. Outside of a few new characters, the cast of MvC2 was pretty much just sprites pulled from a handful of other Capcom fighting games. There really wasn't much work involved outside of crafting the engine, which itself was an upgraded hand me down from earlier games in the series.Flailing Escapist said:It really seemed in MvC2 that they tried to put in as many characters from both sides as possible but unless making the 38 characters released in the original MvC3 were much harder to make than the 56 in MvC2
