I agree that people get too fussed about DLC, but they can also handle announcing stuff better. A limp dicked story trailer ended with showing the villain being a DLC character is straight up terrible.
There's also an element of goodwill. The Ultimate Marvel 3 stuff is the hardest I've felt burned on a game before.

You would be too if your favorite fighting game character was announced for the main roster.
It's nice to have Strider, an MvC staple, in the base game. The question of who his ideal partner in this game is remains. It would be amazing to continue the BFF relationship with Dante from UMVC3.
They are just the best Marvel Characters.

You wish Marvel Infinite looked as good as that.

The fact that they're announcing DLC plans prior to release isn't the issue, at least for me.
The fact that Sigma, one of the main antagonists in the game's story mode, is going to be DLC, whereas Ultron and Ultron Sigma are not, along with other aspects of the game coming off as rushed overall, it's that which makes one raise an eyebrow. Especially after Capcom's last major fighter being admittedly rushed.

Sorry that not all of us are jumping for joy at a MVC launching with 15 characters and then charging you $20 a year for 6 characters which are all just reused MVC3 assets.
Maybe the issue is that Capcom now have a proven record of launching games which are terrible at launch because they are more interested in selling people DLC. SFV still doesn't have basic fighting game features because Capcom are more interested in pumping out Chun-li costumes.

I feel like we go through this outrage every time a fighting game is announced now.
I'd wager that it's because people actually give more of a shit about capcoms fighting games.
Injustice was shit and Injustice 2 looks just as bad, less people are complaining about it probably because they already have low expectations for it.
That's just what I think it'd be anyway, I don't really follow these threads too much, but this thread already has ~20k views whereas the braniac reveal for injustice 2 that came out yesterday is just barely at 5k, people just give less of a shit about it.
LOL!!! I'm PM you.... A bet is a bet.
i think to an audience like gaf, and probably the fgc at large, we will never accept these bullshit practices and always long for the "good old days" when we would just pay for the game up front/put in a quarter and get the entire game. so you're going to see these negative reactions to dlc for a long time. until the minecraft generation grows up, replaces us and don't remember a time where it was any different.
but of course it makes business sense when you think about it for more than 5 seconds. games as a platform is here to stay, too much money to be made.
Sales disagree.

Why the fuck would anybody not want characters to return?
I never will understand this mentality, which is rampant on smash bros threads.
What kind of person sees a new game announced and immediately thinks "Oh golly! i sure hope they cut content from the last game!"
The game is still 5 months away, and i don't expect anything less than 30 characters at launch since it's a tag team play anything less would be far too low considering how many characters both Capcom and marvel have.
Im not the kind of person one would call a negative nancy but the trailer looked absolutely awful compared to 3 like they had an even tighter budget and the hud looks like the most mobile game i've ever seen. I mean i can see people being excited just because it's marvel but this failed to excite me really.

Ya Netherrealm games sell better than Capcom games
They aren't my cup of tea but they don't really skimp out on content, I remember MKX had a buttload

Funny thing is that that is exactly what SNK did with KOFXIV.
50 characters (all created from scratch) day 1, no DLC.
Then fans bug them for DLC characters and they release 4 of them half a year later.
I'd love it if they stuck to this model for their future games.

Hmm, my take on it:
Four button scheme
One assist/kicking someone out
One for hyper combo
You would be too if your favorite fighting game character was announced for the main roster.
Praying for the Strider 2014 costume!
Doom oh wait
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
I, too, long for the good old days when I had to buy a brand new disc/cart whatever when NRS/Capcom/ASW added a character to the roster.
Good times.
If you believe DLC that released six months after the game came out wasn't planned in advance, I have a CPT Bundle to sell you.

He's mainly excited that Strider is in it. He was worried he would be DLC or not in it at all. Also Max does not script hypes. He genuinely gets excited about fighting game news.
After SFV you'd have to be almost blindly optimistic
1. We don't know what this base game contains
2. Art staff making costumes are not necessarily the same staff working on actual game modes.

Keep spittin truth and getting overlooked. I feel you enzo
Hype af right now. No it doesn't look amazing visually but I don't care so much about graphics as I do roster choices and gameplay. If it plays good I'm in. They already got X and Sigma, give me Zero, Capt Commando and sprinkle in a handful of OG Xmen and I'm good.
I doubt the graphics are going to change much in 5 months, it's been 5 months since the debut and not much has changed so I'm not holding my breath. But I think (hope) the HUD is temporary. That needs some work. All in all I can't wait
I am A-OK with returning characters. UMvC3's roster and gameplay are still so good that if they legit just came out and said "It's going to he the entire returning roster of UmVC3 with X and Captain Marvel added on, but it's new gameplay and we will continue to update the game with new characters", I would be completely fine with that.
It's more the art style and the general rushed feeling of the game that has me worried. MvC3 had a lot missing as far as features, but the gameplay and look of the game (what matters) was polished and smooth as fuck even at OG MvC3's initial release. Even these trailers have absolutely nothing on MvC3's trailers.

FaceApp was a mistake.
Cloud and Bayo in Smash, Akuma in SF5, Rock in KoF14, and now Strider in MvC:I. Might as well say who you wanna see be playable in KI cause I'm pretty sure it'll happen at this rate.You would be too if your favorite fighting game character was announced for the main roster.
Max, gaming side is a lawless wasteland where joy comes to die. Escape while you still can!You would be too if your favorite fighting game character was announced for the main roster.
Must be a blast hanging out with folks like you.
