Ultimate MvC3 hits us with free DLC, Heroes vs Heralds, we ask for more

@hlarge4
Is that what happens at the end where everyone cheers?

@iceytoa1

No, at the end Ryu is parrying Chun-Li's hyper. Parrying is a very risky type of block where you take no damage. It was used in Street Fighter 3 and some people are big fans of it.

@iceytoa1 It looks like Ryu is parrying which is recreation of that EVO moment that will be linked to every streetfighter story for the rest of time.

...including this one.

@Once known as Shadsy

So you expect them to continue supporting the version of the game with 12 fewer characters and stages?

@Once known as Shadsy Does this guy not know the concept of an incremental sequel or what?

@Once known as Shadsy

I bought the original , traded it in, and am getting the new one. So i'm out a few bucks, and will soon have a much upgraded version of the game. Nothing to cry about, seriously. Time to get over it. People act like Capcom's killing their first born children or something.

@Chronomaster Do you not know this same game was released already this year?

New Chars? DLC. All that other shit no one is gonna mess with? DLC.
Is it DLC? Hell no it isn't.

Anyone who buys this will continue to support Capcom doing this over and over. Next year I bet there will be 3 disc Street Fighter games or something.

@Once known as Shadsy I felt slighted at first, but I shouldnt have trusted capcom to do anything else. I learned my lesson and will not be purchasing UMvC3. As a consumer I will make my statement with my dollars, not a boycott.

@Uncommon I'm surprised that anyone was surprised by UMvC. I thought it seemed pretty obvious with how bare-bones it was as far as features go and fairly limited character set that there would be a 'Super MVC' on the way. I held off waiting for it, and am being rewarded for my prudence.

@Hoops You are and you aren't, you saved some money on it gratz. However you're months behind on how to play the game unless you know someone else who has it. So whereas others will have a launchpad to start from you have to start from square one.

Plus MVC3 still gave me more playtime than most other games that cost the same so I'm not TOO mad. Plus 12 chars 6? stages a new unique game mode as free DLC, a bunch of balance changes and system additions/upgrades, yeah I'm fine with that being $40. As long as they let this iteration rock for a while I'll be happy. I doubt CAPCOM is going to release a new MVC3 title for a while.

@Once known as Shadsy

To be honest, I tend to get mad whenever publishers act like greedy assholes, but UMvC3 doesn't bother that much me even though I have vanilla MvC3. Why? because if they just released all the new characters as DLC for MvC3 it would be a lot more expensive than a new retail game and everyone would have different characters so the community would be kind of a mess.

So when it comes to UMvC3 vs DLC I see UMvC3 as the lesser evil.

Now if there is something that does bother me, and quite a bit, is disc locked DLC like the alts in SF4 and the Jill and Shuma DLCs in vanilla MvC3. There should be more complaining about THAT.

@Luciano
This guy gets it! And for people who say "well I don't get chars I don't plan on using" that's fine but I do get them all so idc. I tend to agree with the on disc locked dlc, but the shuma/jill didn't bother me cause what they said was there were like beta versions of them on the disc but they weren't finished in time for them to make it to the disc pressing... and I bought the CE because I knew I was getting them so to me it was all inclusive. I don't mind the on disc if it's a Preorder, or CE bonus.

@Oopacsunoo
Too big and has large engine changes.

@DevilSei
They said it's free, if you're thinking of like "booster packs" of cards I mean I guess it's possible but they seem to have listed a bunch of major powerups that sound pretty BA to begin with.

@deepspacebar u wait for disappointment? xii wasnt great and the other "hipster fighter" guilty gear/blabluze is worse with dlc

@(Unverified) You have no idea what you're typing about.

@(Unverified)
are you stupid have you even played XIII i have i have it on my laptop and and VERY impressed i've given up on crapcom for showing no improvements to their SF
SSF4AE friggin sucks and same with SFxT
the system is garbage and should have been 2D instead of that 2.5D shit they are using now .....
plus capcom is lazy
and it took 2 years to finish the current KOF since they hand drew every character

i look forward to playing XIII since it's a massive reboot since 94 when the series fully started

@deepspacebar
The 2.5 d complaint I don't really get, however their extreme brightness I do not like.

Also how is BB and GG hipster fighters? Just because they're not popular in America?

@lhfan04 that's what I thought too.

"Free DLC" from Capcom = P10

Aka. something that was supposed to be in the disk in the first place.

@Juri
Disappoint. Especially from Juri. ;P

12 new characters, awesome new game modes like this and new stages would have been over $40 in DLC. This isn't a bad deal.

@ToastyBiggins
Prolly gonna get downvoted for my opinion but w/e.

How have they been dicks? They canceled a game that wasn't approved, but the dev team made it public and got people's hopes up. And their DLC windows got pushed back due to their country almost getting washed away, so they released a new iteration for a game with more features than what you'd get at DLC pricing. Not to mention all the other great games they have coming down the pipeline. Two MH titles that I'm praying come to America, Dragon's Dogma looks great, Asura's Wrath looks interesting. I don't get why hating on CAPCOM is the cool thing to do lately. Especially when they're making better and better fighting games with each release. SF x Tekken has some of the coolest things I've seen in fighting games and it looks so crisp gameplay wise.

@Grimbear13

Well, even though I think the whole tsunami excuse was some bullshit, it's true that they have been releasing updated versions of their fighting games as separate titles for years now, so it seems kind of weird that people are choosing now to freak out about it. My guess is, Street Fighter IV and MvC3 are such big hits that we're starting to see a resurgence of fighting game players, and the people new to the scene haven't been exposed to this sort of business model before. Hence, the nerd rage.

For me, and for a lot of people, the main problem is that they've...sort of been pretending that Mega Man doesn't exist. True, he hasn't had a non-downloadable title for a while, but that might have to do with the fact that they...you know...haven't released one. And the one they were going to release got cancelled. That alone could be just bad luck, but taken together with his glaring lack of representation in MvC3, AND the lack of any new Mega Man games, AND the cancellation of Mega Man Universe, AND the departure of Keiji Inafune on less than friendly terms...well, they certainly haven't been giving the blue bomber much love recently, which is kind of a shame, whether you believe the conspiracy theories or not.

That said, Capcom is a big company with a gazillion people working at it, the vast majority of whom have nothing to do with their policy of re-releasing of fighting games or Mega Man, so it's pretty silly to deny how cool their games are just to stick it to them.

@Kayonesoft 12 characters and many new modes deserve a new $40 game.

@LoveNekoDante
Personally I went with Amazon for the Doom costume. I went out and read the comic that it came from after I saw the costume and it was all badass!

@sammo21
Looks to me like you got your priorities in order :), if it were any other fighting game series I'd be less enthused but I love Marvel so it's a lock for me :).
