"as well as two downloadable characters, the scientist Kokonoe and the villainous Terumi"

There you have it, I won't be buying it. I'll wait for version that has all the characters in the disc and no bs dlc codes...

nick3093783d ago

& story for each dlc character.

kagon013782d ago

and games are supposed to be art lol.

With this, I don't think so...

admiralvic3783d ago (Edited 3783d ago )

Terumi is included as a pack in / first run copy / preorder bonus, Kokonoe is not. With that being said, have fun waiting for the "full" version, since one of two things will happen...

You'll either have a really long wait (we never got a "complete" version of BlazBlue CS, but the closest we got released nearly 2 years after the base version) or never (it's entirely possible they won't release a full version or will release another game that has more DLC characters).

Arcsys are filthy liars

Then they became Capcom

For those who criticized KI and support this game or its dlc BS, you're not different period.

For me this franchise can die, for all I care...

admiralvic3782d ago

1) I don't see how anything you said relates to anything I said. I just said Terumi is a preorder character and I didn't think there would be a full version. if you don't want to support it, thats cool and you should stand up for your beliefs, but don't reply to me like I know nothing.
2) Arc System Works has always been worse than Capcom. Let me reiterate, they have ALWAYS been worse than Capcom. This is not news and this is far from the worst thing they've done. However, the Capcom haters just want to hate Capcom and will write off a "small time" developer like Arc System Works.
For instance, BlazBlue on the 3DS does not go into standby when you close the lid, did not include online multiplayer and did not support the thumbstick. BlazBlue has also had pallet swap DLC for years, expensive DLC characters, micro-transaction/early unlock DLC, and charged you for things like new announcers.
3) That article was controversial at the time, since it was confirmed Terumi would be preorder DLC before that. http://www.aksysgames.com/f... This brought into question if the DLC was just an early unlock (not uncommon) or if Terumi would actually be a DLC character.

Long story short, Arc has always been a fairly awful company and if you don't want to support em, thats cool. I was just trying to be nice and tell you that you might never get the full version and that you get most of the fighters by default.

DCfan3782d ago

Well, i just got into the BB series, got BB CS extend LE and i plan to play that till CP gets the EXTEND ver. I also have lots of fighters to keep me busy until then

Inception3782d ago

The same day with The Witch and Hundred Knight. And the same month with Dark Souls 2 and FF X/X-2 HD. Yay \T_T/

The 11 Most Hilariously Bad Video Game Titles Of All Time

Don't judge a book by its cover, but what about the title? Here are 11 game titles so bad they inexplicably failed to raise alarm bells before release.

Kados2076d ago

Chrono means "relating to time", Chronometer is "an instrument for keeping time". The proper translation for Chrono Phantasma would just be "Time Phantom".

bouzebbal2076d ago

you forgot nino kuni. you will know why if you were french speaking.:D

BlazBlue's slow death and fighting game oversaturation

The current sad state of the BlazBlue franchise is an example of what happens when the fighting game market is oversaturated and fanbases are fractured.

I don't like multiple versions of games because that means if you want to play with new fighters, same way with racing games, you gotta drop money on a new game instead of updating the one they released already. Thankfully that won't be the case with SF V and Guilty Gear Xrd since they are just going to be updates for them rather than making it on another disc then releasing it again, including Mortal Kombat XL and Killer Instinct. Now this part i disagree with is fighting games being oversaturated!
it's called choices. Apparently this person never heard of it! fighting games can come in many different ways! they can 2d side scroll like SF, KOF, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear with characters that has cool abilities, 3D fighting games like DOA, Virtua Fighter and TEKKEN with realistic moves so no i wouldn't call this being oversaturated, it's a choice for ppl to make to what cater to their taste of brawlers they like.

kevinsheeks2967d ago

Quick question though doesn't each game further the story? could they implement new stories as dlc possibly?

Skate-AK2967d ago

Guilty Gear did get that arcade update but they are kind of doing the same thing as BlazBlue. They do have the same developers after all.

Vhampir2967d ago

Blazblue is probably my favorite fighting game, and knocked 3rd strike down a peg. When Continuum shift started releasing like it was Street Figther 2, I took a step back. I bought chrono phantasma on vita and it's online was even dead in a week.

Now it's just pointless to buy the vanilla versions of any of them. Bought CPE during the black friday sale for PS4. I'll probably wait for a sale before picking up central fiction EXTEND.

Wyld-Woo2967d ago

As a teenager growing up in the 90s, only fighting games offered us competitive gaming in the arcades and on the couch with our friends. Then the games industry changed and we all had way more games to choose from to get our competitive itch. For me the choice of fighting games is just right at the mo. However, I do believe releasing more than two versions of the same game in one generation is very damaging to that games community. I like the street fighter model going forward but Capcom still has much too learn, if they intend to release other games like this.

What's strange is I've just purchased this game. Never played a game from the series before but I've played a few arc systems games over the years. I bought the game for the single player action due to the content. Cost me the same as a couple of drinks in a pub from a second-hand shop.

I'm blown away by how strange but very cool this game is...

KaoSouL2966d ago (Edited 2966d ago )

I've played over 800+ hours of Blazblue (and counting), through 6 1/2 years, from the X360 to the PS4, with only $148.97 invested. Add in the fact Arksys also makes Guilty Gear and P4 Arena, they've easily entertained me in excess of 1,500 hours for less than $300.

Compared to $60 games I've only played through once.... Dragon Age Inquisition (120 hrs), The Last of US (14 hrs), Bloodborne (41hrs)... I literally have a $3,000 pile of next gen games that collectively haven't even provide 500hrs of entertainment.

Blazblue is the better value.
