With Capcom leaving out a lot of highly requested characters in the new Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, including Mega Man X (MVC3 is the only game in the series to have no incarnation of Mega Man present at all), who was the most requested character in virtually every official poll conducted by Capcom, as well as the lack of any new X-men characters (such as fan faves Gambit, Cyclopse, Psylocke and Cable), it's pretty obvious to people familiar with Capcom's practices that they are already planning ahead for a third edtion of MVC3. There's no way they'd listen to all the complaints about there being no Mega Man in MVC3 and seeing all the poll data, only to decide that they are in fact NEVER going to have Mega Man in this franchise, so either Capcom is disowning the Mega Man franchise completely, or Mega Man X is going to be fans' incentive to buy the final version of MVC3 after they've already bought UMVC3.

I am personally getting fed up with Capcom rushing out unfinished games only to release the finished version a few months later. We got countless versions of Street Fighter 2, 3 versions of Street Fighter 3, 3 versions of Street Fighter IV, and now it looks like we're getting 3 versions of MVC3. I feel like a sucker having bought the collector's edition all those months back, because not only was it a disappointing game but it will also be rendered obsolete soon since Capcom can't be bothered to release anything like balance patches for it. I am not going to buy Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, because I cannot say in good faith that it's going to be what MVC3 Vanilla should have been, and on top of that I already know that MVC3 Turbo / Arcade Edition / Electric Boogaloo is probably less than a year away.

Capcom is not going to stop at just 2 versions of a fighting game. They have NEVER stopped at just two versions. They either release only 1, or at least 3, and that means that there is at least one more version beyond Ultimate heading down the pipeline. For all we know Capcom is already working on it before Ultimate is even finished. My biggest regret is that I wasted $10 getting the Collector's Edition when I could have just saved my money and waited a year for the final edition that has Mega Man X and the other characters that Capcom keeps leaving out.

I was going to finally buy MvC3 earlier in the week, but about an hour before I left to get it I saw the rumour about UMvC3, so I waited (bought SSF4AE instead; returned it today). Now that I know the release date (November), I'm not sure what to do:

  • Buy MvC3 & just buy UMvC3 as the DLC add-on, so I can play it for ~3 months.
  • Buy MvC3 & just trade it in upon release to get the physical copy of UMvC3
  • Just wait for UMvC3.

If I don't buy it now I probably won't care come November anyway, but if I do buy it now I'll feel like I'm wasting money. See Capcom, if you didn't keep re-releasing games I'd have bought it by now.

Maybe. I never bought MvC3 because I didn't need a fighting game then, but if I need a new fighting game in November, sure I'll pick it up.

It really sucks that Capcom has such a tight grip on the fighting community that a boycott isn't even an option.

Hehe, nice thread. I would like to get the new characters via DLC, but that's not an option :(.

I just got MVC3 two weeks ago, too. *major sigh of disappointment with a slight hint of anger*

I'm not getting it, and I doubt my friend who own MvC3 will get it either. Sup with releasing the same game again, just with a few changes, instead of DLC? Making people pay for the same game again, plus only those few things they actually want is rather evil.. As soon as I got to play the game, I thought the game had too little characters..

I found MvC3 to be extremely disappointing and I won't be giving Capcom any more of my money. I'm sick and tied of them milking the hardcore and rewarding the patient. I never buy used games, but I'll make an exception for all Capcom games from here on out.

Capcom has been putting out Super Versions of thier games since the SNES days. Why are people now starting to complain? And is $40 bucks really all that bad for the content your going to be getting? You rather would pay $60 dollars to own all characters on DLC rather to pay $40 for characters, stages, spectator mode, tweaked gameplay and new modes? You need to use your brain and realize your getting a deal. Mortal Kombat already has 4 DLC characters. That's 20 dollars you shelled out for them already. A year or so down the line they may have just as many DLC characters as UMvC is going to have. In total, you'll most likely have shelled out $60 more dollars for characters. Yet no one complains of this. I can't see why you guys don't see your getting a deal here. It's not a rip-off if you would end up paying more for the DLC then you would getting it on disc.

Add me to the 'I'm not buyig another Capcom fighter until they change their business plan' boycott.

I was waiting for Street Fighter X Tekken, but I'm losing interest. I'll wait for Tekken Tag 2. Tekken has always been the best fighter, for me.

It's sad what they did with MvC3, they could have made a excellent top tier title with a ton of characters, instead of releasing bits of it like this in revisions.

But regarding Street Fighter, i am blind. I'll always get what version they make of that game, because the Street Fighter series are one of my favorite franchises of all times. Ryu is one of my fave characters ever.

Believe it or not, some people may not be aware of that, or weren't even old enough to have known what Capcom did back in the day. Either way, they are still doing it. Whether it's a new or old business model, I still find it lame :P. I don't feel like I'm getting a deal if I pay for this. I just spent $60 on the game a few weeks ago. That's, just, my view on it.

Actually, how do we possibly know the exact amount Capcom would have charged had this 'Ultimate' update been DLC, rather than a full retail release? We can only assume right? I'd just like some characters. The extra stuff can take a hike, quite honestly :P.

MVC 3 was a dissapointment. I haven't played that game in months. Capcom just loves to screw with their fanbase and I won't be screwed this time, I will just gamefly it when it comes out.

The biggest differences between then and now are 1) arcades were still huge so you just went there to see the newest version and 2) if you didn't go to the arcade the version you had at home was just fine. There wasn't an online community/service that made your game incomplete compared to others.

Mortal Kombat only has 4 DLC characters, and you can buy all 4 of them for 15. Even without those characters the roster is already plenty big, whereas with MVC3 to roster was disappointingly small. Also, Netherrealm does not nickle and dime players for things like balance updates and alternate costumes. There are the bonus Klassic Ninja costumes that you can buy, but even without those every character in the game comes with 2 costumes. Capcom charges an arm and a leg for alternate costumes even though they are already on the disc and should be free, like with every other fighting game that has them. Fat chance Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will include any alternate costumes. According to Capcom, alternate colors is enough unless you want to pay extra.

It's not a "full-retail release" if the game is not $60. And there's too much content for it to be DLC. Just sell your copy at Gamestop and get 25 - 30 for it. Save it for release day and just pay 10 in order to get the game. That wasn't so hard was it?

That still does not discern the fact that in the near future, when more DLC chars come out your basically going to be paying up to $60 dollars. It's essentialy paying for another MK. And who cares about alternates? MvC has never really been known with alternate costumes. People have been fine with color palletes and I so no complaint there. Besides you say that MvC3 is charging for costumes that are already on disc. Isn't MK doing the same thing? Those Klassic Ninja costumes are on-disc as well. Yet you say MvC3 is ripping people off.

There are many games, at varying price points, that are full retail releases. Many Kinect games and Move games are not $60. Does this mean they aren't full retail releases? Nah. Besides, Gamestop won't give me $30 for it. I already tried. $20, plus some extra with the Power Card.

Each consumer is different. I find that point irrelevant to what I'd like, as a consumer. It would have been nice for them to post pone the game and allow for the' Ultimate' edition to be the 'regular' or 'first' edition. Surely, that may be asking too much, but if they announced this re-release so soon, couldn't they have waited until later this year to release an even more robust game? Or perhaps, they were strained so much during development, that they had to release MVC3 in its current form to make a quick buck? I doubt it.

Compared to the Mortal Kombat DLC charatcers, this may be a better deal, it may not. But I didn't buy Mortal Kombat, or it's DLC, so that does not apply to me as a consumer. Looking at this 'Ultimate' release on it's own, I see it as a way for them to strain some more money from us. It's just so soon!

There are no more DLC characters coming out. Ed Boon already said that there are only 4 characters. And honestly I don't care that the klassic Ninja costumes are on the disc because they already gave me alternate costumes for every character. If there were NO alt costumes on the disc except the ones you had to get through the store (like what Crapcom does), then I'd be PO'd, but the point is that MK is a complete experience whether or not you buy anything, and MVC3 feels unfinished even after you buy all the DLC that Capcom made for it (which wasn't much, and it was stupidly expensive for what they gave you). Also, each character in MVC3 is more akin to 1/3 of a character since you need 3 of them to have a functional team, so the characters you buy for MK are more robust even if they are the same price (assuming you buy them individually and not as a set). It's like comparing a slider (mini-burger) to a half-pound burger. You're going to need 3 sliders to have a satasfying meal, and if they cost $5 each then is it really a comparable price to the $5 1/2 pound burger?

It's not a "full-retail release" if the game is not $60. And there's too much content for it to be DLC. Just sell your copy at Gamestop and get 25 - 30 for it. Save it for release day and just pay 10 in order to get the game. That wasn't so hard was it?

There are many games, at varying price points, that are full retail releases. Many Kinect games and Move games are not $60. Does this mean they aren't full retail releases? Nah. Besides, Gamestop won't give me $30 for it. I already tried. $20, plus some extra with the Power Card.

Each consumer is different. I find that point irrelevant to what I'd like, as a consumer. It would have been nice for them to post pone the game and allow for the' Ultimate' edition to be the 'regular' or 'first' edition. Surely, that may be asking too much, but if they announced this re-release so soon, couldn't they have waited until later this year to release an even more robust game? Or perhaps, they were strained so much during development, that they had to release MVC3 in its current form to make a quick buck? I doubt it.

Compared to the Mortal Kombat DLC charatcers, this may be a better deal. But I didn't buy Mortal Kombat, or it's DLC, so that does not apply to me as a consumer. Looking at this 'Ultimate' release on it's own, I see it as a way for them to strain some more money from us. It's just so soon!

Well many fans themselves were complaing there was no DLC. Then when Ultimate MvC3 was announced everyone flipped thier **** and says Capcom is a rip-off and they are not buying this garbage. I just don't understand. Either way, I'm buying this game. It's a good deal for me seeing DLC characters would be more to buy through XBL all together than on disc. It's a steal for me.

I can definitely understand how you find value in it. I just think it's too soon for a $40 expansion of sorts. I was one of the fans asking for more characters to be in the final game, not necessarily overpriced DLC :P. I may just trade it in and keep the trade-in value on my Gamestop account until the Ultimate edition is $20. Perhaps this time next year it'll be cheaper.

The only reason it's "a good deal" is because the alternative would have been a wholesale ripoff. MVC3's characters aren't worth $5 a pop IMO, so whether or not $40 is a good deal is entirely subjective. I already own the game and I don't like most of the new characters, so for me it's not a good deal. A few of the characters are worth $5 to me, but most are worth $0 because I am not interested in them, and then there's the ones I'd like to try for a match or two but am not interested in learning, so maybe those are worth $1. The supposed "street value" on the individual characters is completely arbitrary, so whether or not UMVC3 is a good deal is entirely subjective.

Hmm, that makes much sense. I'm disappointed in the current roster as well. Half of them are useless to me. Virgil sounds cool though.

Lol, I'm so glad I didn't go out and purchase it as soon as I got back home.:P Looks like I'll finally be getting around to buying Gran Turismo 5 over it.:P I'll buy UMvC3 used... However that depends on what sort of used-game policy Crapcom decides to have.:(

You guys can go ahead and get milked by Crapcoms half games. I knew they'd re-release this game when it was announced with such a horrible lineup of characters and the nerfing of ken.

I'm interested in the game, sadly, i'm wating for KOF XIII and hopefully BB:CS2 (which developers have said that the update will be either free or really cheap, take notes Capcom), so no, i'm not getting it, hell i didn't even get SSFIV: AE, i had enough with Capcom, maybe, just maybe i'll get the game used, yes, i prefer to give my money to a retail store than to Capcom.

Rofl, and yet MK characters are worth 5 and BB characters 8? Please. I only play with 5 out of the 27 characters MK has (31 now) does that make all the others have no value? Please also tell me how MVC 3's characters are not worth 5 a pop (ironically they aren't even priced at 5 a pop they are priced at just a little over 3) yet MK characters worth 5?

I think this is the new way for devs to pushback against used game sales. Since they can't get used game profits they sell the same games over and over at the same full price! How smart biz-wise is that? They work on a game and it sells great at $60/pop. Then they do a little work(if any at all, all this stuff was probably already complete) and re-release the same game for full price.

That is genius. And why is it genius? Because dummies like us buy the re-releases. I say rent or buy used games so capcom doesn't see the profit. However, as a business it pretty smart.

To me, it'slike making a fighter mugen style...and adding as you go on. This reminds me alot of one of my fave fighters Super Marvel vs Capcom-Eternity of Heroes.The MVC3 series should really be renamed as MvC3 alpha and then MvC3 beta, with the final iteration(which will come out eventually) being released as MvC3 1.0. Now, stuff like that is fine for freeware games who aren't getting commercial profits, but for a company like Capcom...'nuff said!!!

[QUOTE="Ikouze"]

Capcom has been putting out Super Versions of thier games since the SNES days. Why are people now starting to complain? And is $40 bucks really all that bad for the content your going to be getting? You rather would pay $60 dollars to own all characters on DLC rather to pay $40 for characters, stages, spectator mode, tweaked gameplay and new modes? You need to use your brain and realize your getting a deal. Mortal Kombat already has 4 DLC characters. That's 20 dollars you shelled out for them already. A year or so down the line they may have just as many DLC characters as UMvC is going to have. In total, you'll most likely have shelled out $60 more dollars for characters. Yet no one complains of this. I can't see why you guys don't see your getting a deal here. It's not a rip-off if you would end up paying more for the DLC then you would getting it on disc.

Timstuff

Mortal Kombat only has 4 DLC characters, and you can buy all 4 of them for 15. Even without those characters the roster is already plenty big, whereas with MVC3 to roster was disappointingly small. Also, Netherrealm does not nickle and dime players for things like balance updates and alternate costumes. There are the bonus Klassic Ninja costumes that you can buy, but even without those every character in the game comes with 2 costumes. Capcom charges an arm and a leg for alternate costumes even though they are already on the disc and should be free, like with every other fighting game that has them. Fat chance Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will include any alternate costumes. According to Capcom, alternate colors is enough unless you want to pay extra.

Lmao

So who's completely done with Capcom for the remainder of this gen? I know I am, but I will instead purchase used copies of their games so none of my money profits them. I am looking at you offline experiences Asura's Wrath and Dragon's Dogma, or should I say victims of Capcom's greed and ignorance.

Capcom burned me once on SFIV with SSFIV. I only picked up SSFIV because they have a lot more to offer besides more characters. With SSFIV:AE, I didn't buy it, because it didn't offer much in comparison to SSFIV after SFIV.

Same reason why I didn't buy the original version of MvC 3, & I'm lucky that I didn't buy it because I knew that Capcom would try this again. Now there's Ultimate MvC 3. Maybe now I'll buy the Ultimate version when it comes out.

Ken's not ever getting in, period. Especially when we already have Ryu & Akuma. Plus if you were to take a look at the new character select screen, there's really no more room to add more characters in.

I always buy new but for Capcom games I will make an exception. I will of course never support their fighting games but will instead purchase Asura's Wrath and possibly Dragon's Dogma, both of which are offline games so no online passes. I never want Capcom to profit from my money again until they go back to the way there were last gen .

In speaking of Capcom burning us, this really is nothing new from them. I know when I was a kid they released TONS of SFII games. There is the world warrior, turbo edition, hyper fighting, super street fighter two, and super street fighter two turbo. There are probably some I am leaving out as well.

They did the same with SFIII. So why is everyone railing on them as though this is new?

Wait what.... I'm pretty sure Capcom released about 3 versions of Street Fighter 3rd Strike on the Dreamcast and why is everyone hating on Capcom now. Not only have they done this in the past, but other companies are doing this as well. There is a couple versions of Blazblue out right now and Guilty Gear was the worse last gen. So many versions. Its not capcom, but Fighting games in general are known to do this. Its 2011 and now gamers are complaining :? Give me a break.
