I feel the same way about the stages, too. It seems like most of the basic floorplans are covered, but they're just not that interesting. I'd love to have the pirate ship from SC3 back. That stage was just exciting to fight on, and had a great song as well. Plus a small, triangular stage would be nice.
I have mixed feelings about saying this, but hopefully Namco releases tons of DLC for the game. Custom parts, stages, music, whatever. Most of it will undoubtedly be overpriced but there's bound to be some good stuff eventually. Also I'm a sucker for new CAS parts. (Just not goofy helmets.)[/QUOTE]
Exactly. Most of the levels in SC4 are just plain boring and uninspired (The only ones I really like/recall are the Ship Level, the level that looks like an arena with walls that get knocked down, and a carousel). It's alright to have a small amount of stages if they're both memorable and fun, but SC4's are just boring. I want levels like the castle courtyard level from SC2 (With a river on one side, and two little pools in the corner) and the church level from SC2 also. Hell, I want all of the levels from SC2. They were easily my favorites of the series.
And I don't know if I would want stages to be priced DLC. Especially since not everyone would have them online, so they wouldn't get played as much (by me at least). Not to mention that since the stages in SC4 are half-assed as it is, I feel owed better stages. However, I think more CAS parts are great for DLC, since not everyone wants every piece, so it's perfect to put them up as DLC. I personally think the music DLC is useless and overpriced, but I guess some people like it.
