1. I just chose Gears because the GGT was talking about it, feel free to replace it with calladuty.
2. Which is just more of the same and could have been episodic DLC, yes?
3. I know you didn't play SSFIV much, but c'mon, you know damned well there was more to it than just those additions. Don't go trollin' me now, yo.
4. Yes, the bitching seemed to be from people who traded in SFIV after beating arcade mode or going online once.
3. Overpriced characters and costumes suck too.[/QUOTE]

1. Calladuty sucks though.
2. More of the same if you mean more of the same style. We're talking new textures, voices, sounds, music, scenarios, etc. Tons of data.
By your reasoning of "It could've been episodic.", every game sequel could be that way. Which is obviously untrue due to dev time/costs and overall modifications to the core game mechanics/engine/etc. Maximize profits by snagging $60 a pop.
3. So you're saying that SSFIV to SFIV is more of an update than Gears 2 was to Gears 1? Clearly you didn't play enough of Gears 1 or 2.
SSFIV was a sizable upgrade, but like I said, it's more of a giant patch than Gears 2 was to Gears 1. Adding characters and some backgrounds, tweaking old characters, and upgrading online = update. New game that takes previous game's gameplay, adds new mechanics, a new campaign with totally different levels, characters, story, and new multiplayer modes and maps = more than just an update.
IMO anyway.
4. Indeed.
3. Why 3 again? And agreed.
