Gating characters behind an offline mode is just a lazy way to extend playtime.

Unlocking all characters in practice mode, for free, would be great though and seems like a reasonable demand. Demanding payment for new content aka new characters is just common sense. The developer/publisher still puts money into this game and expects a return on this investment. Originally posted by RKoz:OP wants two things: Not pay for dlc and more offline content by having to unlock some characters through arcade mode.įree DLC isn't gonna happen. I do think thou that DLC characters should be free in Training mode in fighters just to give people an ability to lab a character and not have to pay money for it. Harada himself stated Namco would not give them money to make balance patches unless the game could sell additional content after release as it's just not profitable. Tekken 5 and 6 are more similar than 7 vanila and 7 season 3.īefore this generation you where lucky if a game had even a single new balance patch.Įspecially in a game like tekken that gives you a ton of characters out of the box even wo having to buy a season pass. Hell Tekken season 3 is so much different than vanilla that is borderline a new game.

Because of them we get actual updates and balance patches regularly instead of having to buy a new version of a game just to get a balance patch.

Not to mention you can alweays wait for a sale and get characters for less.Īlso season passes have actually saved fighting games not ruined them. People modeling them programing them balancing them play testing them animating them do not work for free.Īnd most of the people who actually play fighting games and are not flavor of the month casuals are actually happy to get more content for a fighting game years after release. Someone has to pay for new characters to get made.Įspecially years after the games original release.
