BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, the just released sequel to top 2D panchira brawler Blazblue, has recently attracted no small opprobrium for announcing almost $60 worth of DLC at release…
The DLC offered is less than overwhelming – the list includes a handful of new characters, icon packs, costumes and “unlimited” versions of standard characters:
It does however include Makoto Nanaya:
Presumably they are hoping nobody notices the DLC costs almost as much as the actual game (more than the actual game in the US, which will presumably have cheaper DLC just to rub things in for the Japanese)…
The game itself looks unlikely to disappoint fans whatever the price of its DLC however:
The game has just been released in Japan, and is due at the end of July in the US.
SQUIRREL GIRL IS THE STRONGEST!
It burns me a little. I don’t think it’s right to release two extremely similar games, and then if you’re loyal enough to buy both, they charge you more for the actual new stuff in the second game, over the first one. Especially characters. Characters ARE the game, Not just addons.
But hey, if it works for them financially, it’s hard to argue that they shouldln’t have done it >_>
look like an ordinary street fighter type game. probably not too shabby with some storyline and unique character. Alright then. if the game sucks, i will have to just rip the CG.
the only reason why I think they are making Makoto a dlc is because they are already working on an update for CS or a new version all together and said to themselves “you know, lets just make her dlc for the hell of it” instead of waiting till the next version of the game.
DLC for new characters? what happened of the old days when to unlock an extra/secret character u had to beat the game in record time, perfect life or hard mode with all chars? now u can just pay for it? nice way to put challenges :l
That is how this game actually works, you play the game and you unlock all this stuff…
OR, you could be lazy and just purchase it without working for it.
this ^^ seriously why the charge? it’s us gamers should work hard on playing and unlocking them in the game it’s already enough we bought the game what more do u want? im okay with dlc as long as u add a fairly huge amount of content not just skins and 1 character.
