MvC3 and the shadowy realm of quality DLC

With the announcement of MvC3's first DLC Kapow Games ponders Shadow Mode's worth as a creative addition to the two universes and considers more inspiring options for Capcom.

[soundslike]

Something tells me Capcom misses the day of ripping people off two quarters at a time as they haven't quite grasped the idea of a "product" yet it seems.

Whats next?

Combos and special moves unlocked for your character? 10 bucks.

Tier it up Capcom*.

*quite proud of this pun

Most likely they will start charging us like the real arcade every time we play lol

[Greek God]

lol

[despair]

This is like COD all over again, people complain about it yet still will buy the game and the dlc.

I'd expect costume packs later on as it seems to be the same way SFIV and the Super edition operated. *Shrugs* I may just get the ones I want anyway [again]. I just hope that they will have character [individually] and not so much tied to packs.

There is one annoying thing in those articles and a few comments around here ...

There has been no mention yet that the shadow dlc isnt free . I dont mind complaining if it's a paid dlc (i know i will) ... but so far , i fail to see where in the history of capcom fighting game dlc , does anyone get that kind of notion .

Crappy costumes as dlc ? check , like most fighting games so far , some even selling colors

DLC characters ? Check , again like a few other fighting games for no better reasons .

But this is the tricky part , and where i call shenanigan.. sf4 and ssf4 game mode dlcs ? All free

Just because something has a big fat zero on the price tag shouldn't detract from the quality of the product should it? After all, both paid for and free content come from the devs so they should be striving to uphold standards in quality.

There's no getting away from the fact that Shadow Mode is seriously lacking some creative thought.

That is all.

I'd like to disagree, what other game has done something like this?

[Fatal Blow]

Do not get the dlc when it comes out get it later on because you can get all the dlc characters packages for a cheap price rather then get it separate

this article is wrong thats not what shadow mode is, shadow mode is A.I. that uses mimics the playstyles of the developers and tournament pros while using their teams. like as if u were playin them at their best in ur living room but if u guys were gonna base decision on one article that so happened to be based off of false information then yall deserve to miss out.

Apologies for that TruGameIDH. Please read the comment I just posted on Kapow Games:

I hold my hands up. Poor research on my behalf combined with a slight disappointment mixed to result in some pretty below par journalistic skills. The story is now updates…please come back to the site.

Gonna give you a bubble for at least taking the time to acknowledge that you were in the wrong. Don't see that much these days :).
