i played the private beta and it was actually really fun but then the news of the final roster came out and seeing there is no crash and the fact that i have xbox, vita and other ps3 games to get just doesnt seem worth it to pay full price at launch for 20 characters. I mean arent people worried that some important characters that help define sony arent in the game? New dlc characters wont bring in that many new customers seriously if you think about it as the inital hype is what gets people to pre order and buy.


Actually this game will have legs. It won't be frontloaded.

It will sell over time. With new DLC characters and stages, they will keep the hype going. You're telling me if they announced Crash as DLC that you wouldn't be temped to buy the game right then and there? Hell by the time they start doing DLC the game will cost $40 or less. Or better, on Black Friday Buy 2 get 1 free...

Can you prove any of that or is that wishful thinking? I wouldnt even call those educated guesses because the preorders are so low. And do my eyes decieve me or are you praising DLC as a means of "saving" this game?

On topic, people are waiting for the metacritic. Previews and gamer sentiments are too mixed and on-the-fence. Better hope this game scores at least 80+ meta or you can kiss those "legs" goodbye.

Can I prove it will have legs? Yes. Look at any PS3 exclusive and you'll see that the bulk of its sales are NOT done on week 1. A perfect example is Uncharted 3. Low pre-orders but is now at over 4.5m sales a year later. LEGZ.

That is an educated guess. If anything, you are the one with wishful thinkingn hoping it will flop.

I'm not saying DLC will "save"the game. It doesn't need saving. The roster in the game is fine for the first in what I hope is the start of a successful franchise. The more successful the game is, the more likely other IP holders will want their characters represented in the game via DLC or future releases.
