  • Oh yay, another game with day one DLC.

  • "Nine exotic customization items including bikinis" SOLD! ...I mean... uh... But seriously, developers/producers need to stop announcing a game's DLC BEFORE the game launches. I guarantee it hurts their sales, not help.
  • Yun-Seong DLC... or else! >:O
  • I love it when games release more customization DLC. I just hope they plan on releasing gameplay DLC as well. Glad to see they're getting some music from II; probably had some of my favourite tracks.
  • Can someone explain to me what exactly is different between SCIV and SCV? The art style is so similar, I feel like I'm just watching an expansion of the last game.
  • Can we get the game first?
  • Another reason I hate DLC everyone.

    Oh and look you can buy bikinis on launch day!

    That just proves my fu***** point that this game does nothing but cash in on horny teenagers and perverts! I'm so sick of these half as#$# copy and paste games with their stupid day one DLC it makes wanna....wanna...GRRRRRRR

    F*CK YOU CAPCOM YOU STARTED THIS 20 YEARS AGO!

    I feel better now....nerd rage....gone....I can't wait for Resident Evil 6 and Tekken vs Street fighter :)
  • Why do a majority of companies have boners for day one DLC now? Can't they just, like.. I dunno.. effin' wait?
  • At first I thought that said Soul Calibur V cancelled and I flipped out. Then I thought it said Soul Calibur V DLC cancelled and I was like... uh, ok. Turns out it's nothing as exciting as all that. =P
  • For content that costs 1/6 of what the game at retail costs, you'd expect at least 1/6th of the content. Or am I asking for too much?
  • I hate this crap, it feels like it's the future too.
  • The packs sound really nice. I like them all.

  • Not just putting all those customization options in the game is just plain stupid. The industry is pretty stupid nowadays so it's to be expected.

    This game probably won't even be worth the time.

  • Ha

  • Remember when games had unlockables? Those were the days.
  • Maybe its just me, but i hate it when DLC is announced before a game is even released. In my eyes, its just the devs saying, "we could have put all that stuff in the game, but we didnt because we want more money. now buy it"

  • Wow. I personally have no problem with this since it's all pretty dang cheap. Definitley getting that day 1 customization stuff though. Those bikin-I mean, wings.

  • I feel like their is a disconnect between what gamers expect, and what game developers have to do. It seems many people don't understand that these day 1 DLCs come about as the downtime between when a game goes gold and actually ships. The publishers aren't going to pay the developers for sitting there a month or more.

  • DLC announcement before a game is even printed? I can't stand when companies do this. Just put it on the disc.

  • Well at least it's not something like levels and characters. This is just extra content that doesn't really add to the overall experience. ( Except fapping factor..?)

    I'm still very excited for this game. Kinda bummed Talim isn't in but oh well.
