Between SSF4 and ODST which game is cheating consumers the most.

I don't get why people stay on this dying bandwagon and keep saying SSFIV is a cash-in. People complaining about it obviously don't even play the game, and not only that they're not even paying attention to what the game is offering on top of the original game. And regarding the price, TC should've noticed that awakening and super sf4 carries the same price tag. :roll:

I would like to add that people should compare these 3 expansions/glorified demo and whatever they wanna call it to games like the annual Maddens, RockBands, Guitar Heroes....etc and see which is more worth the money.

• 30 some characters
• Endless Battle
• Team Battle

I guess people would complain. I mean go buy some more FPS or sports games please. The differences between SFIV and SSFIV is OVERWHELMING LARGE in comparison to yearly sports updates. Not to mention $20 cheaper.

The game is darn well worth $40 and if you skipped on SFIV you're crazy for not picking up Super unless you just don't like fighters

yeah, there's no option for 'both these games are fine'

so I'm not going to bother to vote.

I dunno, but i'm about to start boycotting DLC in its current state. Games are already over-priced, and they're just tricking us into paying more. Don't be deceived, especially with the games with the DLC already on the disc. They're just inventing a new way to charge you 80 or 100 dollars for a game instead of 60.

Sure, I paid 100 dollars for Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES. Its still the only game I could justify spending that much money on. Atleast all the content was available at launch, no need for patching and no hidden fees. I find it hard to believe that technology has regressed since the mid-90's, so whats the excuse?

Most importantly, I never felt like I was being conned. I'd pay an extra 40 bucks for THAT feeling again.

Um.. SSF4 is more than worth the money with the amount of changes made to the game.

ODST is pretty awesome, and I think if it didn't have the Halo name on it ODST wouldn't be considered any more of a ripoff than any other short game. The problem w/ ODST is when you add in Halo 3. Basically when it comes down to it you're getting an expansion on the game w/ a few things added on. Don't get me wrong I like the ODST campaign waaaay better than Halo 3, but it's still using several of the same assets the same engine, and such. If you take Halo 3 into consideration the game is basically DLC... probably the best DLC ever, but DLC none the less.

I don't know much about the new SSF4, but I feel like they are ripping off the people who bought SF4 more than those buying SSF4, and from what I know about hardcore fighting games this is pretty normal.

Why should I get it as DLC when I could buy it on disk and go with it anywhere, give it anybody who likes to try it or finish it and do whatever I do with it?

I prefer paying for a disk based expansion rather than DLC with limited freedom.HAZE-Unit

Same here. Not to mention that you don't exactly own DLC of anything. I'd rather they delay a certain game to include everything on the disc.

Everyone knew SSFIV was coming. There will probably be another revision on top of this one.

Guybrush_3

Don't count on it.

um...neither is a rip off.

SSF4 has new characters *10 of them* new moves of existing characters, new online modes and a plathoria of other new things.

ODST was an amazing story and playing on legendary can last 7 hours + specially your first time through since your going through and doing or looking at every thing.

Firefight was awesome and gave me loads of fun and the achievements were great.

At least SSF4 was sold at a lower price, ODST was just a ripoff.

Btw I didn't feel cheated while playing ODST and SSF4 since both were completely satisfying full games.

HAZE-Unit

I had to lol at the bold statement.

ODST is sort-of almost kinda justifiable because it has a good, new campaign for a budget price. SSF4, on the other hand, makes me feel completely ripped off.

If i had to choose I guess odst mainly cause it was 60 while ssf4 is 40.

finalfantasy94

For SSF4 that would of been two big for DLC IMO. Also I don't feel cheated because I know I'll clock in 200 hes + playing SSF4. As for Halo 3 ODST I can't comment I never played it and know nothing about the game. Plus it isn't like SSF4 was a full price game.

I'd say this realldy does justify the $40 for the fans.

[QUOTE="Respawn-d"] GT5p isnt a demo. Its a less then full games sold at less then full price. Its been given many free updates over its life aswell.HAZE-Unit

Its a demo, the other prologues were also glorified demos.

So what if it gets updates, is a demo with a few updates worth 40 quid?

no it's not a demo, demoes doesn't have over 80 cars, 5 tracks, online, split-screen and so on and forth :?

Do ppl even read OP anymore Respawn-d

Ofc, but neither of them are as bad as GT5P, not that any of them are a good thing when price is considered.

if it's on Xbox 360, same situation.

it's a rip off.

on PS3, greastest deal ever:P

I bought ODST on release for the same price as DA Awakening(disc version)and SSF4 was cheaper then DA on release, I buy online so I make a saving comparedto store prices. So really I got two full games each for the price of Bioware's expansion.

Both obviously, SSFIV edges it though because it is the exact same game with some tweaks and extra content.

I'd like to take something off the poll... "Both could have have been sold as expansion packs like Dragon age Awakening". Awakening is $40, SSF4 is $40. What benefit is there to the consumer to have SSF4 as an expansion? I believe that would actually alienate consumers such as myself that didn't buy SF4.

Anyway, I'd say ODST is cheating gamers more. Not that what I played of it was necessarily bad, it seemed like a cool game.. it was just a budget-minded development but came in at full sticker price.

WilliamRLBaker

Firefight is amazing, however they should have sold the singleplayer and firefight as a separate disk for half price for those of us who already bought the Halo 3 maps. I was one of those people, which is why I didn't waste $60 on stuff I already had, but for people who didn't already own it, its not a rip off I don't think.

people who pick odst as 'cheating' consumers must remember that it came with the Halo map packs ($15 value)... so the actual cost of ODST itself is $45, not $60

SSF4 is 40 bucks, and you get alot more games then the original. Its almost like a new game. So I really dont think thats a big deal. ODST however was not worth its asking price. Maybe if it was 40 like SSF4, then maybe.

not a waste of money... just not getting as much value since you are paying for a portion of the game that you already bought
