Im about 1-2 hrs in and I will be waiting for these weapons to come out until i start playing again. This game needs the added variety to keep me going till the end.

Oh I get it now
Strip those weapons away that were originally on NG2, and make them DLC. Fearing the backlash of DLC controversy, they quietly ditch plan A and went with plan B which is to make those FREE. As a result of making it free, they hope to come off as the "good guys" rewarding their loyal fans.

Ho ho ho ohhh Tecmo... who are you trying to fool?

Then again, I'm probably just making this all up.

That is exactly what I thought when I heard about the dlc. They stripped weapons and maps out in hopes of pulling a fast one and charging for them until they saw that the public thinks their game stinks. Now they can't charge for them. I know this because the animations and effects for these maps and weapons would have had to been complete to offer dlc so close to launch.

Nice try Tecmo don't be like Capcom.

I've only ever used the Dragon Sword, the dual swords, the staff and the talons (when they came in). Never really cared for the rest.

I've only used the dragon sword in other games so I don't really care for the DLC. I never liked the other weapons.
