First, don't lump me in with Joyrock. I mean, he's right and everything, but I'd like to think I'm pretty respectful, and being brushed aside is uncalled for. Someone against on-disc DLC tell me why it's a bad idea, beyond "I own the disc wah," because DLC in general extends the life of the game, which is always a good thing.
I think a line has been crossed when on-disc DLC gets to the point where the developer intentionally gimps other parts of the game to give "free" stuff later to help bolster their image. When the 12 characters were first found on the disc, I just thought, "well that's lame," but I dealt with it. The other stuff in the game still looked great; the gameplay looked solid, the story mode actually had cutscenes (always a nice bonus in fighting games), and they even included a color editor this time around!
It just seems like Capcom is so worried about their public image now that they feel the need to resort hypocritical tactics such as hiding things like colors in the color editor so they can say "HEY WE GAVE YOU FREE STUFF you can't complain about them being on the disc". I'd rather they give us the color editor in full from the start and just sell us the characters without any of that fluff.
I mean, sure, we are going to get all the colors for free in the end, but it just feels so damn underhanded. It's kind of hard not to feel taken advantage of as a consumer.
