That game does not have more DLC than Street Fighter X Tekken. There are 55 characters in SFXT if I'm not mistaken. That's 55 swap costumes. There are also 55 alternate costumes. That's 110. Then there are like 20 gem packs. That's 130. Then there are the custom combos, etc. You are looking at over 130 items as opposed to Dance Dance Revolution. Please name another game or admit that I'm right.

I agree.

SFxTK amount of locked content is obscene.

Also, you can download song by song in DDR, but if you want to play One of the new characters, you had to buy the whole pack in SFxTK.

And I think DDR's content was new, not locked content.

Actually they were sold in packs of 5. 17 five song packs and two singles. Some packs had as many as 4 repeat tracks from a previous game, some had as many ss 4 new tracks.

Compare to SFxTK, you have a Capcom side swap and alt pack, Tekken side swap and alt pack thats 4, one character pack thats 5, combo creator thats 6, and how many gem packs are paid DLC? Unless its 13 it doesnt even have the same amount as DDRUM4 snd its 19 packs. Seriously, I cant believe TC is including the free gems, colors, combos, and what not.

It appears you need to do some research.

There are 5 or 6 " introductory" gem packs that are free. The other 20 you have to buy.
The colors are free.
The " custom combo creator " is paid. The rest are custom combo slots which are free.

So yes, you still pay for exclusive gems and a custom combo creator.

And this game has way more on disc dlc than Dance Dance does.

And it's obscene.

Look at the amount of "cosmetic" DLC SFxTK has. The only thing that really matters are the 12 characters. On disc DLC shouldn't exist in general, but the characters are the most often complained about because they are the only thing that actually have an effect on the game.

In contrast, 87 songs. Thats 17 more than a DDR game. All of it is on the disc. The songs are the DDR equivalent of fighting game characters.

As far as gems go, all of the good ones are free. You could buy all of the gems, but you would be buying lesser gems. This is probably a huge part of why they didn't sell very well, Capcom kept all of the best gems free. I do think its funny that you say there are "5 or 6" free packs but you have a solid number in "20" for how many are paid. I tried to check your work, but the PS store is down for MX right now. Simply put, your lack of a solid number for the free ones leads me to believe you made up a number for paid DLC gem packs. Especially since google only turns up 5 paid gem packs.

Can you see where I'm coming from now noobsaibot?

More like I can't see where Capcom is coming from. There is taking advantage of the fact that people have supported on disc DLC in the past, and then there is... this. What purpose does this serve when all of the best gems are free? Why are there that many paid gem packs? This is horrible marketing.

IMO on disc dlc is a problem regardless of the amount, I'm not going to play the numbers game and day one dlc is just as bad as on disc dlc.

I actually agree with you, and for the record the only reason I started playing the numbers game is because TC said that no game had more than SFxTK (and due to me not knowing how many gem packs there were, I was wrong).From: doctorwily | #256

I know. That's what I'm saying. DLC is a controversial subject at times. Some do it well, some don't. But Capcom with this game has taken it to a riciculous new low. I have never in my life seen so much content being charged that should have come on the disc all along.

My point was more that I can't believe someone up at Capcom HQ looked at this and thought it was a good idea. Who woke up, went to work, saw this presentation and said "Over 40 paid gem packs, and all of the best ones are free? These will sell like crazy!", seriously that dude needs to get fired.

Obviously they tried to take advantage of DLC without going into "pay to win" territory, and for that I applaud them. You can argue the characters both ways on play to win, there is no spinning paid gems otherwise and Capcom knew this so the best ones were free. The fact that they expected people to buy 45 packs of LESSER gems blows my mind though. SFxTK is a good game, I could have made myself buy one or two lesser gem packs to show support if that was all they did, but this? No one in their right mind will buy these.
