Agreed. I find myself constantly going back to the main menu thinking "Oh I'd like to check my stats," only to find they don't exist. It's a shame. It would greatly extend my interest in the game. Feels like too much is obfuscated for this to have lasting appeal for me.

Thanks for all the replies! I want to play it, but I guess I'll wait a little while longer. What disappoints me the most to read about is the lack of polish on the online play. Why not just implement a system simlar to SFIV? Hopefully that will be fixed in a re-release.

I loved Enslaved. It was one of those games with such great art direction and design that it really feels like you're in another world. Very convincing spaces that you play in. The story is solid as well. Some were blown away by the ending, I just thought it was so so, but it's a fun game. Very good to go through one time.

I'd really like to buy Marvel vs Capcom 3 as it's starting to get cheaper. Is it likely that they'll release another version? I bought SFIV some time after it launched and then felt a little burned when SSFIV came out a couple months later (and now there is arcade!). Will this be the pattern for MvC3 as well?
