duh since its x360 exclusive to count it towards the x360 exclusive list which is lacking

Dark_Vendetta5700d ago

you can see this as an Addon, so why not list it?

Variable5700d ago (Edited 5700d ago )

nobody ever does that with console games...

Voiceofreason5700d ago

I think it is more like an expansion. They are rarely listed for console games because console games rarely get expansions. It is no different than listing Wrath of the Lich King for PC.

Cheeseknight285700d ago

Most other addons aren't purchasable a store though, unlike Lost & Damned.

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde462d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12462d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde462d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B461d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B462d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h462d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

Redgrave462d ago

Task failed successfully

Terry_B461d ago

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

gold_drake462d ago (Edited 462d ago )

eyyy max xD

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

GhostScholar461d ago

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.

I woupdn't update the game. It doesnt have game breaking issues and I would lose one of the radio stations.

jeromeface1677d ago

steam has removed this option

monkey6021677d ago

"Thankfully, players will seemingly easily be able to update their game to the new version easily by simply installing "

What the fuck kind of sentence structure is that?!

GTA4 was the worst game in the entire series and the only one I've ever truly hated

SegaSaturn6691677d ago

I really liked the tv stations on gta 4. Other than that, I agree. Horrible racing missions.

CrimsonWing691677d ago

I guess they can’t afford editors.

umair_s511677d ago

I loved 4 ...want a remaster for PS4 Xbox one

Orionsangel1677d ago

They'll never get rid of how slow and sluggish these games feel. Your character and vehicles feel too heavy. Even on the most powerful rigs. I love how GTAV fixed it though.

Profchaos1677d ago (Edited 1677d ago )

Your character was a mid 30/40 year old personally I felt like he controlled the way most people in that age range move.
And it had better driving physics than v did cars have weight and it felt correct compared to v everything drives like a sports car and turns corners on a dime

DerfDerf1677d ago

The driving physics in GTA4 were far superior to 5. Everyone complains because of the physics engine used but it's one of the things I love about 4
