I agree with everything you said.  I think they are attempting to try a new pricing model to allow more options for people.  Sure, the game probably should have come out 6 months later with 12+ characters to begin with.  I think that with the rush to add it to the launch and the fairly low price to get into it to see if you even like the "feel" of the game, it is pretty good to start.  Like you said, if you way til next fall, they will have a full version of the game that will probably have 20+ characters and all of the "beta" parts of this worked out.  Probably a much better buy then.

Pretty much. The game, on a technical level, looks and plays phenomenal. It has its own thing going on which I think will set it apart from other fighters next gen. However, I don't like a game being rush or half-assed just to meet a deadline and that's the impression that KI gives me. The Xbox one launch is still pretty good even if they delayed KI to bring out more characers, modes, stages, etc. Most gamers don't like delays but they are necessary sometimes to produce a better game.

I use to go to a lot of Fighting game tournaments and the reason why most are on the PS3 is not because of the Dpad.  No real competitive gamer uses a Dpad instead they will use a custom joystick made somewhere outside of the US or they will pick up one of the already built high end sticks made with arcade parts.  

Fighting game players go to the system that has the bigger gaming base and that is the PS3.  The PS community is larger on the PS3 than the Xbox and this is the reason why most game on the PS3.

Not for people who want to play Killer Instinct it isn't. It's much cheaper than paying for a Campaign mode you will never play. I think the pricing model is much better than paying for DLC personally. I get a new fighting game in a franchise I love and can compete online, that's all I want. That's if I had the money to get an X1, but that's another story.

Um....no. The reason fighting fans are on Playsation is because the Playstation was the console which caused the transition from arcade gaming to console gaming for fighting enthusiasts. The directional pad was a small part of the picture inspired by the SNES D-Pad, but a part of it none the less when the Xbox and Gamecube generation came into the equation. It wasn't a big deal when consumers placed their bets on their favorite consoles.  All the major fighting games could be handled on consoles at that point. Battle Arena Toshinden, Tekken, Soul Blade, Bloody Roar, you name it the Playstation had it. There was no need to go to an arcade. You even had fighters like Bushido Blade which never made it to the arcade (LOL Everyone would die and lose their quarters).

@Bolded: Did you just say the same thing.  The community is bigger on the PS system than on the 360 which is what I said.  One of the reason I bought a PS3 at launch was for Tekken Tag.

Thank you for continuing to downplay anything MS.  Your obsession is unmatched, just buy the system and get it over with.

Hey, Hey, now that makes sense. Don't make it look as he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Hey fatslob, You're not buying a Xbox One, Why even come into these threads? Just to bash the living shit out of anything MS?

So is that what is supposed to happen on this site, if you say anything, you get banned. So should all the MS fans go to Sony threads and downplay everything. I'm starting to think that this is all some sony fans come to this site for.

This is why so many MS fans leave the site. You got this non-stop but god forbid you say something. Everyone knows that most commenting or downplaying, want nothing to do with Xbox or it's products but they are allowed to bate on the theads all the time.

If KI can be the catalyst for knocking FPS off its perch more power to it. I doubt it will though. The MP in FPS seems to be far more compelling than the MP in 1 on 1 fighters.

probably blows up, the snes killer instinct already sucked big time
