this is actually really cool, and the fact that it's Capcom of all companies doing this is insane

Inb4 micro transactions that let you unlock all of the stuff like in MKX

really cool. might actually get into SFV if i have a console for it

really annoyed of how fighting games release sequels to individual games with just minor content change. has always been confusing for me when i am looking to get into a fighter that has multiple renditions. also seems like a cheap way to get cash

hopefully this avoids that trend

so they're basically adopting the -free to play system.

you can earn fight money by playing the game, and use that to buy dlc, or you can purchase "zenny" with real money to get dlc

fugk f2p games

f2p is worse than early access

[Samus Aran]

watch the money you can earn in-game to be ridiculously hard to earn, or take way more time than any sane person has

so that we have to just pay for most of the dlc anyway if we want it

I still like it better than dlc lol
It's basically dlc that you have the option to grind for which is better than not having the option to begin with

exactly. Honestly it's a very smart move, and one I hope other devs take.
and if the game turns out to be, like the best SF ever, shoot, I'll take the grind option. It's also good practice.

The only problem I can foresee, is that the in-game money POSSIBLY can only be earned via multiplayer... likely ONLINE multiplayer, which means you're paying for PS Plus.

remember when "free" unlockable game content didn't have to be advertised as a feature

remember when you could just pop in a game and play it, and not wait for 10 updates?

I don't mind the updates tbh. If I have to wait a few minutes so that bugs can be patched I'm fine with that.

remember when bugs were a thing that were taken care of before release?
