Street Fighter 6 is not a Fighting Game, it's a Retard Simulator.

Its pretty much just one mode of the game with avatars. Fundamentally, the core game is designed like Street Fighter IV with meter based parry and without stringent links. They are both kinda ugly to me.

This fight against any MXT is starting to feel like people are not using their brains.

I've been fighting this war for...6 years now. I believe I am making a difference as my motives are true.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Don't give a damn about those kind of trashy collaborations, only thing im interested in characters and stages, and costumes when they're properly design for a character.

Don't worry, they'll make you pay for them too

 

[cash_longfellow]

I’d pay that much for Elon Musk + Mark Zuckerberg skins

Fucking amazing picture in my head of that

 

[UniformDeliverance]

I could say this about any digital marketplace though. I'm sure the cost of buying a full set of anything on the Fortnite store would put this number to shame.

Not.. really defending the current state of gaming.. But this isn't unique. You're not meant to buy all of them. Just pick one.

 

[CobraAB]

I would not pay $1 for it.

 

[KingHippo1967]

It cost $7,658,233.97 dollars to buy everything in the grocery store.

Why do people think they have to buy everything?

Grocery stores don't have a history of making customers think they have to collect everything in them to get their money's worth.

Neither do games.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Not defending the price but... why would you want to unlock everything?

 

[Paltheos]

Miss the days where games has a wide roster of characters by default.

This is some revisionist romanticism. I won't speak for all fighting games, but going just off the starting casts of prior Street Fighter games:

Street Fighter II: 8
Street Fighter III: 11
Street Fighter IV: 25
Street Fighter V: 16
Street Fighter VI: 18

Except for IV, which yes does have an additional 7 characters, VI has the biggest starting cast of an SF game yet. Unless you've been dissatisfied with all these games at launch in which I'm sorry for getting ahead of myself.

Capcom is the future take two/EA

The nickle and diming is kind of lame, yeah, but like Blizzard used to be, I can forgive it because the game is actually fun and you don't have to pay to win.

Just eat at Chipolte, Chipolte the best value in fast food.

 

[Soulja]

The prices for skins on most games are an absolute con. This is why i only ever buy skins on rust as they're around £1.50. I had a look in the diablo 4 store and honestly could not believe the prices on there.

 

[Saber]

This is some revisionist romanticism. I won't speak for all fighting games

There you go then. Got annoyed even though I don't remember saying its limited to SF series and neither just to fighting games. Though I believe there are some SF with a good amount of characters from what I record, there are other old genres with a good amount of character rosters. And thats not to say there are old games with dry cast of characters either.

 

[cireza]

I remember the days of MvsC2 and CvsS on Dreamcast with hours of fun at unlocking stuff.

 

[BlackTron]

I would be all over a fighting game that featured TMNT but this isn't it. Neither was that Nicktoons game. Injustice was the least bad, and that still left much to be desired.

 

[Revolutionary]

Just save your money and make your own Turtle costume

 

[Knightime_X]

If you could use them in ranked I would totally buy at least 1 or 2

 

[Camreezie]

As garbage as it is, $15 is pretty standard for a skin in games nowadays tbh

For a piece of shit game sure

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Just eat at Chipolte, Chipolte the best value in fast food.

 

[Fahdis]

Holy shit, why isn't the FGC mauling Capcom for this shit? Complacency? Or have people really become this braindead to want to collect everything without even looking at the price?

 

[Dr_Salt]

The return of greedy capcom.

 

[nikos]

You can't expect to own all of the cosmetics available in current games, even Street Fighter. Those days are over. It's best to buy/earn what you like and forget about the rest of it.

 

[Labadal]

Cowabunga!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

IM NOT GONNA PAY THIS...

The rich humiliating the poor

 

[German Hops]

 

[Elder Legend]

Not sure why people are upset. $15 skin is normal practice for a full on single character skin. No one is forcing you to buy it. It really isn't that big of a deal imo. It has 0 relations to your gameplay.

Reason why companies do such prices is because they can get away with it. It's very simple and that's because most people are okay with paying for it. Neogaf again is a very small minority lol.

 

[DaGwaphics]

LOL Even though I have some nostalgia for the old TMNT I would not even consider it. There will be some whales that will I guess.

 

[Nocturno999]

It costs $0 to install mods

You are supposed to show off on Battle Hub that you got scammed.

10/10 game, but these prices are unnecessary bad PR.

 

[Beechos]

Just cosmetics behind a pay wall. Why are people so up in arms about these things? No pay to win. If people want to spend $100 on the equivalent of horse armor let them.

 

[STARSBarry]

this is why when I finished the first battle pass and then saw the second I thought "im not playing this for fun, im playing it for the shitty battle pass" and went back to Melty Blood instead.

This impacts everyone.

So we don’t have to buy it if we don’t want to?

 

[Cohetedor]

So how long would the grind be to earn one in game without paying? More or less than gt7's 13hrs of grind or $200 for 1 car?

 

[jshackles]

Where I'm from, it cost $100 to order a pizza. So I guess the price of everything is going through the roof.

 

[The Pleasure]

 

[Labadal]

People saying that it doesn't matter are wrong. Lots of games had fun costume unlocks by playing games.

Lots of JRPGs gave you new costumes by doing side stuff or other crap. It was a fun thing. Now, you don't get that as much, because they know that they can milk their customers.

I still don't buy cosmetics, but it does matter when this catches on, which it already has (obviously).

 

[Rickyiez]

I have not even touch World tour since the launch and having alot of fun just playing the actual Street Fighter game. Already in Diamond 3 now.

Some of you guys are weird, rejecting a game just because a non relevant portion of the game is bad. Like common, the skin is only for the World tour avatar, do u guys even know what is going on here?

 

[yansolo]

cant stand all this stuff

 

[DeVeAn]

I was ready to spend the 500 free coins I got and then I saw 750 for one Turtle? New characters cost half the coins. Bummer dude.

 

[KingHippo1967]

Neither do games.

So you've never played an old game where the save file tells you how close you are to 100% completion?

Back in the day, players were conditioned to believe that we should try to collect everything in a game to 'beat' it. Things like alternate costumes used to be the reward for this (case in point: Super Mario World).

Now it's changed so we're expected to pay for what used to be unlockable bonuses – even in situations like this where we're technically paying for advertising – and today's players are being conditioned into accepting it as the norm.

"Oh, that's the way it is, if you don't like it then don't buy it" is a bullshit way of justifying the decision to make TMNT fans pay more than what they already paid for the game if they want to get the content.

Putting II is a bit unfair, when the series only start to take shape and the market has different expectation from games.
Packaged version of III basically refers to third strike which had more characters, people voted with their wallets on new generation / 2nd impact (and dreamcast).

 

[Kerotan]

You can also grind the premium currency but I don’t think that information supports the nature of the article.

So this is paying for a shortcut.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Remember when you could unlock a gazillion costumes in fighting games (Dead or alive 2 Ultimate) just by normally playing the game ?

I can't wrap my head around this.

Do you get mad at Burger King when they advertise their Whopper because you then feel forced to buy Whoppers? This compulsion you feel, this need to collect everything to feel whole, feels like something you should talk to a mental health professional about.

Todays F2P games are lightyears better than Super Mario World and titles from that era too.

If people take the time to create something of value, they should be compensated.

And unlike the good at the grocery store, Turtles are 4EVER! TMNT4LIFE

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

MK1 just around the corner

I’m sure MK1 will have similar, if not worst DLC shenanigans as well especially since it’s a modern fighting game which usually have overpriced extra content and add-ons.
