Street Fighter IV Ultra
12 years ago
Hey guys.
So since I am back now to writing journals, I wanna write more stuff about subjects in gaming that interest me. THe first of which is the new announcement by Capcom at EVO this last weekend about the newest expansion for Street Fighter IV....and how I now must buy this game for the 5th time. For my older readers, you will all know that Bunny loves her some Street Fighter IV....but I was completely ready for this game to be left as it was. I...actually don't know how to feel about this announcement. I will buy the game for sure (the physical copy, because I am insane) and I am excited to see more 3rd Strike characters make the roster...but...I dunno. I think its getting to be a bit much. I consider Street Fighter IV to be one of the finest 2D fighters in existence, but I really hope this will be the last update for real now. I don't want one of my favorite games to turn into a cluttered mess, over blown with too many characters and me having to buy a new copy every few years. I dunno...what do you all think. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

FA+

RPGs and such is what I play... fighters I save for the arcade. Sigh... I miss arcades. Arcades were the shizz.
I honestly don't trust Capcom with what they say they're gonna do till the Day happens and something sumstantial is out fo me to actually own. Marvel 3 Kills me still to this day taht they promised 2 Charaters free on game release, but never gave any release code for the Charaters, FOrced everyoen to pay an extra 8 bucls for them. Re-releases Marvel 3, and AGAIN leaves the 'Same two charaters' off disk (Possibly on disk DLC) and makes you Re-buy them cause they're not gonna update or patch the older one. They've been throwing poor excuses for lack-luster developtment on there games, There patches, there DLC, any and all promise is half applied so I'm just gonna give them a 'Yeah sure' till release date, and see what happens personally.
But to your orinigal question, They've been over saturated with Repeatedly released copies of the same game since the second release of Street Fighter IV. They coul've released the cahraters as Seprate or Pack DLC, patches for the game, and the like, but they didn't. They milked the game for all it's worth, and aviod using tehre servers for anything but the Gameplay, and even then it's not a perfect thing, it has lags, and bad connections, about the same if not more then there gammign Competors, who actually by that mark DO Patches, DLC, and even the likes of Netherrelms studios do 'HotFix's' where a Charater who has a glitch or 'Super Death Combo' get's fixed and patched ont he fly, instead of charging the consumer another 40+ bucks for a fix on a charater that 'Everyone' is using, Pause down to 4 months for the Next version of theg ame to be dropped, and still not even fix that 'Last' version of the game, liek your playing a Super Nintendo instead of a ONline system that 'DOES' support Patching.
It's been a while though. I'm probably a bit rusty...
Haven't played any of them in ages. Ahh, memories
