Also available on the XBLM is actual content for the game! The Customization Equipment 1 pack clocks in at 100MS points and includes a number of new items to use for character customization. The content pack is also revival themed in that it includes equipment Soulcalibur fans will recognize from previous games in the series -- including armor sets and headgear for a number of characters.
[Thanks, CCC]

Christ it annoys me when they release content before the game is even out.
Money-grabbing shenanigans are afoot!

The game is out. I'm not sure on release dates elsewhere, but it is out in the US.
Oh, and the game sucks. I just received it today in the mail and off it goes tomorrow in the mail. No way in hell is the soundtrack and customization garbage worth it.

I guess I'm a moron who used punctuation and grammar correctly. Explain 15 minute story mode then. Easily best story mode ever right? The game is decent, at best.

It's primary function is a 1 on 1 fighting game man thats all. The story mode is to be considered little more than extra stuff. The game looks and plays amazing with a deep DEEP fighting system for players to master.
If you didn't know that then you really had no buisness commenting on the game.

The game sucks? How? It's the kind of game where people new to the game (or those not fond of most fighting games) can mash buttons and still look like they know what they are doing all the way to those looking for a real challenge who understand just how far down the rabbit hole the game can get. But I would stress this is the kind of game where an arcade stick would be good to have, and they can be easily found at amazon for $59.99. ... I haven't played online yet. So maybe that's where your soggy bottoms comes from.

Delerium, complaining about the depth of story mode in a fighting game is about as sensical as complaining about the depth of melee combat in, say, Mass Effect.
If you returned a fighting game in one day based on the story, fighters clearly aren't your forte.

the game is great. to those who think it absolutely sucks, I don't know what you were expecting.
I want to know when we get to "download" Darth Vader. And better not charge for it because it has already been proven to be coded on the 360 game disc itself.

i really hate the trend in games today where we can download bits and pieces of the game so close around the launch window.
bits and pieces that SHOULD have been in the game to begin with. like that empty space for Darth Vader...ugh.

Stop it already. If DLC didn't exist not only would you STILL not have Vader, but you'd have no option to get him ever outside of buying the PS3 version.
This is what SC does with multi-platform version of their game. Exclusive characters per console. They did it before DLC even existed.
Quit acting like this is an effect of DLC ruining content you would have otherwise gotten for free. There are plenty examples of that, and this is not one of them. Now, instead of having NO option to get the character AT ALL, you may have the option to pay for him.
In short, it's better than nothing, which is what you would've gotten otherwise.

ryan said...
you really don't get it do you?
there's a SPACE for Vader. a preemptive pullout just so we have to spend more money for what was an "exclusive" character.
i can see buying DLC down the line, but having it available at launch? that's just ripping off consumers in stealth.

They put the space for Vader in there because they were going to be adding him via DLC. If there wasn't DLC, there wouldn't be a space for him, and he wouldn't be there at all. Just like last time.

ryan said...
see that's the thing you aren't getting.
he was prepared to be DLC when he could have easily been placed next to Yoda from the start. like I said it's ripping you off in stealth.

Ryan, it's worse than that. If you look at the size of the item pack, it's 108K. There is no way they fit all of those item models into 108K, so what you are downloading is actually just a code to unlock the models that already exist on the retail disc. The same thing goes for the bonus content of the Limited Edition. You're paying extra in order to use items that you technically already own. I wouldn't be surprised if Vader's data was already on the disc as well.
THAT is some bullshit.

ryan said...
really? lol, on the disc already? wow.
so we bought it already and now we have to buy the key. wow.

Really, does this surprise anyone? I mean, this is Namco Bandai we are talking about. We can't forget all the DLC for Ace Combat 6 that, aside from the Ace of Aces missions, are just paint schemes with modified stats for the existing aircraft in the game. Hell, Ace of Aces just consists of extra hard versions of the campaign mode.
Is it horse armor? Probably not. But I'll be damed if I didn't see this coming. Namco Bandai is going to nickel and dime us with DLC yet again.
