What you're saying is the 1999 model above. What me and taffy believe is the "now" model. If you believe the companies are really putting $120/game worth of content in, then the DLC costs are justified. If you believe, like me, they're making $60 worth of content and then locking half of it away, then it's not.

Since the companies are not illuminating the discussion with actual numbers, either stance becomes a matter of faith I guess.

Kostas, where are you getting these images?

Also, is Pai in the game or not? Her data was found on the demo disc, but the recently leaked achievements do not mention her. Unless that just means Pai is already unlocked from the start.

Oh yeah. If you hadn't reminded me, I would've forgot that I play fighting games for the story.

Anyway, Alpha will probably be banned from competitive play (and hopefully Online Ranked match too) due to being OP and more over the fact that it sounds like it's going to be a pain in the ass to unlock her anyway. BY THE WAY HAVING TO MANUALLY UNLOCK CHARS IS A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE IDEA FOR ANY FIGHTING GAME THAT HOPES TO BE TOURNAMENT VIABLE. -_- Really getting sick of this trend. Companies mindlessly force you to unlock things on a disc you already paid $60 without thinking about the fact that this whole unlocking fad that the entire industry has moved to does more harm than good.

Casual players, you know the MILLIONS of people as oppose to the 40 people who show up to tournaments like unlocking characters!

Hmmm if I were a company trying to make money who should I be more concerned with ?! Thank you very much!
 
Unlocking characters has been here in fighting games since.....I guess you could count Dural on Virtua Fighter. That's the fun of even playing the game, DOA4 has been doing that for a while, even though SF pushed it a bit with Akuma and Gouken. Found unlocking them two to be challenging. Well, I guess that could be a good thing.

As much as I don't want to put down tournament players, but all characters unlocked at the start? I fail to see the appeal to that, and the fun in it. It diminishes the single player experience altogether, and yet again, has the game please tournament players more than casual players.
 
IDK why it's so difficult for a company to add a "tournament mode," which would just be a PvP versus mode that has all characters and costumes and stages unlocked. They could even make a secret code to unlock it, Konami style, so that people who want to go through the unlocking process can do it without being spoiled, but TO's can have tournaments without so much hassle.

This wasn't a problem in 1995, I don't know why it is now.
