UMvC3 has 12 new characters.
12 x $5 = $60
yeah I didnt give a damn about half of those characters, I didnt give a damn about half of the characters MK released as DLC either, difference is MK didnt force me to buy them all , it gave me a choice as to which DLC I wanted and threw in some free skins while they were at it..
They released the game for $40 dollars. Plus the 8 new stages. Doesn't matter if they are just changed via weather and such, they are still very fresh.
theyre not really new stages, theyre as new as Night time rooftops,dusk rooftops, daylight rooftops in MK, with the exception that these were available from the start and had more work put into them than Capcom's lazy offering disguised as "new" stages, they were about as fresh as stale beer
And patches.
yes patches, MVC3 was a broken game, any fan will who put time into the game will tell you so, Capcom patched it,added unreleased DLC and a few stages for $40 and made those who bought MVC3 look silly, as it was basically a glorified beta.
This Komplete Edition has 4 not even new characters. They were DLC, now you can have them all as part of the GOTY edition...RDR,Fallout3,borderlands,GTA IV,Midnight Club,LA Niore, LBP,Uncharted 2 have all done this, its the same game + all the DLC hence Komplete edition, Theyre not masquerading this as a brand new game...
A movie that Ive seen a billion times and already have on DVD. well, you probably bought MK9 already, this collection isnt really aimed at you is it? this is for every1 that mightve missed out on the game the 1st time around....
And some songs. Just a fun little bonus for those picking this up for the 1st time
$60 total. Yeah, thats the going rate for GOTY editions on release week, it usually drops to $20 within 2 months. Check Bestbuy, me and my friends caught up on Borderlands this way, I had the original and bought DLC as it came out....they bought the GOTY editions cheap at bestbuy, we can all play together bc its the same game
You're telling me you're satisfied with this? This is a FIGHTING GAME. YOURE KIDDING!!
The game is already not near as popular as it was when it first released and you expect it to draw in a lot more people with this? If I hadn't bought the game I'd still not buy it.
Look at SSF4! An updated edition with NEW characters. Even new ultra combos! SSFIV made SFIV useless, those that bought SFIV had to buy SSIV bc it fixed the originals glaring issues,added characters,added stages, introduced all new achievements bc it was basically a new game. If you had SFIV you could not play someone playing SSFIV b/c they WERE DIFFERENT GAMES. Capcom has a habit of abandoning broken games after release, then releasing Patches + DLC at a $40 premium. see Dead Rising 2,MVC3
I have MvC3 and when UMvC3 was announced, telling of 12 new characters, stages, and patches I was psyched. Why? Because although the release date angered me a little. They gave the fans what they want, besides Mega Man. They even at least gave Zero a Mega-Man costume.
this announcement pissed off a large part of the MVC3 community, check the gamefaqs and shroyuken boards around the time of the announcement, b/c they realized Capcom had sold them a $60 turd, and was now offering a functional version for $40. If you bought MVC3 you know it was a broken game, capcom didnt bother patching it or offering any DLC besides 1 costume pack and rehashed pre-order incentive, They Patched the game, tossed in 12 DLC characters, added snow to existing stages and cashed out, while the fanboys gleefully cheered and the smart consumers unloaded their original copies as soon as they could.
I like NRS more than Capcom but this?
No, just no.
