It's Patched? So What?

If you like your fighting games, there is no doubt that you have been drooling over the new Arc System Works game, Persona 4 Arena, that was recently released for both the PlayStation 3 and the X-Box 360 - hopefully for the Personal Computer some time in the near future. Since the game is released at that super-expensive $59.99 price tag, I will not be touching it any time soon due to my price epiphany. You probably have heard that the online multiplayer for the 360 version was horrible but it looks like the developer and publisher Atlus were both very quick to address the situation and then promptly announcing it to the world.

Fixed? As in, it won't be able to get horny and make babies anymore?

So, should people buy this game now if they are willing to spend that much money whether on the PS3 or the 360? Perhaps not, there may be a good reason to wait for it: the one thing that I had been unsuccessful in finding out over the Internet is the confirmation that there will not be another version of the game coming out next year or even by the end of 2012. We are talking about Arc System Works here and their last fighting game BlazBlue ended up having a better version of the original game released with more characters. I have a really strong feeling that the same will happen here. By the time that this game is properly priced, the new version will probably show its face and I am looking forward to pick up that copy, which I am sure would be priced competitively to not discourage those who bought this early version of the game.

I do find that trend in fighting games to be somewhat annoying. The touched up reboot. of course, Capcom has mastered this marketing philosophy like no other. :P

That is pretty much the only way Capcom make their money these days. If the new characters and new features come in a DLC format with low price, I am okay with that but to get whole game again plus the improvements? That makes me want to kick them hard in the you know what. At least when gaming goes all digital, they won't use that "Oh it's too big of an update for a DLC so we have to just release it on a disc!" crap ever again.
