Got back into Way of the Samurai 3 and managed to beat the underwear-stealing crow to get out of the battlefield to finish that mission. Got another from her to find some runaway kids in a nearby area, which wasn't too hard since I could reset the area when I had some trouble finding the third kid and beat up this masked kid instead. I was surprised that I got ambushed in two areas for no particular reason, though they weren't hard to beat anyway.

Where?! I want to see this rage!
I guess I can see why casuals would be raging, they don't really see the value per dollar of a new character. To put things into perspective, people were raging about SSFIV when it came out and bitching about how they already bought SFIV, even though SSFIV was only $40. I've put over 300 hours into the PS3 version alone, which is more than my entire gaming library. So to me, it would be worth it. Others? Not so much, so I can kinda understand, but it's not targeted toward them in the first place.

I've played like, 10 hours of SSFIV. In fact, I played more MK in the 3 day rental period than I have SSFIV period, and I bought SSFIV at release.
Yep.
Yep.
Think I'll pick up a 1600 points card eventually and get the kombat pass and original costumes.
20.00 for 4 characters, and klassic costumes for Scorpion, Reptile, Sub-zero, Ermac, Smoke, Noob, Milena, Kitana, Cyrax, Sektor and some un-announced ones ain't bad.

[quote name='CaptainJoel']I'm buying her, too.[/QUOTE]
I don't have any issues with the price -- I'm just jaded that for some unknown reason that ed boon can't be bothered to divulge, 360 owners get the discount bundle. I'll wait until I want Rain or get the discount bundle if it ever comes.
[quote name='BlueScrote']I think I have a shield, but haven't really used it. Part of the issue might be that I'm using a weapon that has a pretty short reach (was just looking at stats when equipping it).[/QUOTE]
Depending on the shield, you may be able to block the Medusa heads and not get stoned -- however, I don't remember exactly... you could try it if you're desperate.
More importantly, use a weapon that has a attack hit box/animation you jive with -- if there are two you like and you don't have a good shield or like using it, stick one on each hand and just remember which attack button to use.
The stats aren't as important as the animation, because if you do +3 damage to an enemy, but you have trouble hitting them, it isn't worth it. Choose the weapons you're comfortable with.
Also, do what jimbo says -- most of the magic in the game is usable without finding relics. Especially soul steal. Abuse the
out of it. It'll damage all enemies on screen and suck life out of them to give to you. If you're surrounded and there's too many medusa heads, you can drop that and it might kill them.
One last thing is if you find an enemy you think might give you decent XP (or you have the relic... if there is one... that shows XP gain from enemies), don't be afraid to grind a little by changing screens and coming back. A few extra hitpoints, a few extra magic points, and a few extra in your stats might make the difference between another use of soul steal (and surviving long enough to get it off) and having that use actually damage stuff enough on screen to kill some of it.

Originally, I was raging about SSFIV being non-download - they finally did it right with AE in my opinion.
But yeah, someone was bitching about $5 for Skarlet -- and I'm laughing because in addition to being a full character, she has 2 fatalities, a pit fatality, a babality, and and ending for story mode.
The only bitching I have against AE is that the new characters that were part of the download didn't have trials, like the MvC3 characters or the BBCS2 characters. But still, $15 for 4 characters and a rebalance? That's fair to me.
I think when I made the comment I saw the first comment from some tool on the kotaku post about what the PSN store update had in it today.
"I get more out of my BLOPS maps, $5 is expensive." or some shit like that.

You're not complaining about SSFIV anymore, right? If you're ok with $5 for Skarlet, I'd be happy to point out at $40 you'd get 8 characters. SSFIV gave us 10 and a shitload more stuff. Just sayin'
I'd prefer a disc release for these new versions, though. With BBCS2, we lost some of the little things like a new UI, new intro, etc. It's not much, but it's still stuff we didn't get, because it was a patch. =(

Once they announced all the SSF4 stuff, I was okay with it and preordered.
It was the idea that they were maybe going to add 4 characters and try to charge 60 bucks, like the old CE/Turbo/Super updates that had me against it. Once it was 10 characters for $40, I was on board, especially since everyone was unlocked from the start and I didn't own a copy of SF4.
$5 seems about right considering the cost of some of the other DLC content packs and whatnot -- I'm okay with $5 for sure. I wish Aksys would cheap out a little, but since they're hand drawn sprites, I can forgive them the extra $3. :\

I thought they charged about $70 for the upgrades back then.
I barely forgive arc, but considering you get a bunch of stuff with the character itself, it's... somewhat okay.

[quote name='corrosivefrost']Did Ed Boon or NRS ever say why PSN/PS3 users are getting screwed out of a "Season Pass"?[/QUOTE]
I don't view it as being "screwed". 360 owners get a free character. We already got a free character in Kratos.
Playing field is even now. Hell, it's still slanted in favor of the PS3 owners, since we'll also likely get the character the Season Pass owners get for free. We'll just have to pay for it is all. PS3 users will still have more content (Kratos + his background). I don't see much of a reason to complain here.[/QUOTE]

MK on 360 didn't get shit because MS properties were too *whatever* to let their character be included. Look back as SC2 on xbox... Spawn from Todd McFarlane. Soing random.
Just because 360 owners didn't get an exclusive character is no reason that PSN users shouldn't be offered the season pass. If they wanted to do that, they should've made one of the characters for MK FREE, period. They didn't. So I'm wondering if MS bought NRS off or something.

Nope Ermac was unlockable in UMK3 via the Ultimate Kombat Kode that you put in at the end of the game.
The 2 new guys in Trilogy were Rain and Noob Saibot (as a playable character with his own moves, the hidden boss version in UMK3 was just a sped-up Kano)

There is a glitch where he doesn't save if you do online matches, it's really really annoying. I think the work-around is to always load arcade mode before hopping online, but I lost him awhile ago and never bothered to re-unlock.
Same goes for the other 2 unlockable characters, Mileena and Classic Sub-Zero.
