Ultimate MvC3: Good Value or Quick Cash-in?

VGW: The announcement of the disc-only Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 with its twelve new characters, eight new stages and gameplay improvements has brought some derogatory comments towards Capcom for skipping the typical DLC route that many games have been taking, including rival Mortal Kombat. However, could it be that Capcom is actually offering a pretty good value for the $39.99 repackaging? Or are they ripping gamers off as some have suggested?

My question....how does these games work for trophies? Lol

An I going to be laughed at by my plat-whore psn friends for getting 5 iterations of the sane game & respective trophies?

Or just laugh at because this was the first thing I thought of after ragging about my collectors Ed purchase? Lol

Why even bother getting se editions of fighting games? Clearly there is nothing special about just a few months later.

Its a quick cash nothing more. Let's say u already have the game, is 20 dollars less than a full retail game worth it for 12 fighter and 8 stages? Why do you think its not dlc? Would you really pay 40 bucks for that? I guess its a good buy for those that don't have the game but man is that a big middle finger to scamcoms true fans.

Keep buying those SE's though keep telling them you will gladly pay more for unfinished games that way we can pay even more for games next gen. You ppl do know that last gen SE was a way to see if ppl would pay that much for games right? Or did you miss that gameinformer mag edition?

Dear Capcom...you are the kid that wants to run before he can walk.

This is why people should support DLC. Otherwise you get a series of "forget that, try this one instead" games after you already have the lesser version.

"While Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is undoubtedly a good value, Capcom seriously needs to build their fighting games to be updated properly with DLC and patches"

I think for the big changes they've made to the game, with a disc release people are more aware that changes have been made. A lot of people did not like things in the game like Phonenix and X factor level 3 but by re releasing it again people are a lot more aware of the big changes and look to see if the game is more balanced. I'm not saying every patch needs a new disc release, Sentinel's health was reduced with a patch but for a big change like this that will redefine the game it's a better idea to get the interest back.

It's better than just saying patch 1.30 is out with these changes. Small things that do need to be changed are more suited for patches like glitches and bugs.

Also with a disc release it's easier for those who run tournaments because they don't have to carry the console with all the dlc content around because everything is in one disc.

What they need to do IMO is what they did with AE, If the changes are big, if possible release it as both DLC and on disc. I
