Oh great, pay $40 to avoid the boring grinding of the original. Thanks Capcom, but how about making unlocking content easier and faster? This is cheaper than the season passes.

I'm glad this game failed compared to SFIV.

Meanwhile EVERY other fighting game doesn't give you the chance to unlock any characters without paying for them. SFV deserves a lot of heat for it's short comings but actually letting players earn all characters and all non CPT stages without paying cash is not one of them. If I wanted the new characters in SSFIV. I had to buy the game. If didn't want them but wanted to play online against people that did upgrade I was SOL because SFIV and SSFIV didn't share an online community. 

You aren't wrong, allowing people to grind for content is nice for people who will play many, many hours of this game (the minority).

However, the cost to unlock stuff is outrageous for a game that quite frankly is already kinda slim on content. How about showing respect to people who tolerated a grossly incomplete game at launch as well?

SFV took a step forward while taking one back as well. And looking at MvC:Infinite, its evident they realize the SFV strategy sucked.

Actually, it would be nice if I could get all the content unlocked in SFV:AE for $15. Because that's how much SFIV updates cost. But they won't do that, they rather we pay for expensive season passes or buy the new $40 release.
