Forums - Gaming - Capcom talks about on disc DLC: We'll think about it, too late for upcoming games

Mr Khan said:
You can easily make changes for how the content is released for future titles: don't fucking charge for the on-disc DLC


Exactly. You paid for the damn disc but that's not enough? No, you'll have to pay to unlock the content on the disc. What's next, paying to use the content that you paid to unlock on a disc that you paid for? Goddamnit...

 

On-disc DLC should be free, or better, eliminated (because it makes zero sense to call content on the disc downloadable content.) Fire Emblem Awakening is a good example of how to handle DLC imo. Make the first DLC free for a limited time to avoid raping those buying the game within the first few weeks. Hopefully Nintendo will use that strategy for all their games because I really don't want to pay extra to be able to play the last dungeon in future Zelda games...



Around the Network

So that means that all the content that will already be finished will be in PSN instead of the disc, and instead of downloading a few KBs to unlock that content, you'll have to download and install lots of GBs to play the exact same content... excellent.

Release Final Fantasy Versus XIII nowwwwwwwwww!!! lol :P

You guys are aware there's nothing capcom can do, right?
1. Creating DLC alongside the game, makes it cheaper.
2. Putting it on the disc allows it to be even cheaper. No, you don't own it. You own the viewable portion of it, only.
3. Waiting until after the game has been released is bad... It will be more expensive that way...
::Development process::Testing::Server hosting, more expensive because the files are bigger::Compatibility issues because not everyone got the DLC::
When you wait, fewer people are going to be actively playing the game... And, it's more expensive, which turns off even more people...
There's simply no other way to do it... Other than, to Tell capcom to not make the DLC to begin with, and we'll take the smaller game.

Let me also make it clear to you guys, I hate SFxT.  The game-play is trash, and I'm not remotely interested in ANY of those characters they're offering.  I have my favorite Tekken character, who plays like a stiff dog (Lili) and, I've got my favorite SF character, Juri... Who's just been nerfed today...  With shipping, special edition, 2 costume packs, I paid 87 dollars for this PoS...

But, still...  doesn't change anything about capcom and the DLC....  They just better patch my damn game until it's fixed.
