There's that. They're complaining about the Campaign mode being setup like a Social Game style too. Then there's the shitty story mode.
Also the game balance being wonk was another complaint.

True, but that was the second sequel, not the first outing, and Japanese devs tend to be more risk-conservative. Personally, I definitely want a sequel where this game's issues are addressed.

Sometimes I forget Kotaku also has someone competent covering Japan.
But those comments...Moonspeak
The fighting itself is still fun, but yeah, it might be good to wait for more impression if you're not a huge fan of the IP

Meh, cosmetic DLC. Not a big deal.
I can understand why people are upset but I still think this game will be a blast to just play though.

It's campaign DLC. You get the costumes and other shit by playing through campaign. So technically, they're not really selling any of the cosmetic shit to you, only letting you short cut your way to it.
Bad Amazon reviews happen for pretty much every other major release in Japan and they don't really affect sales much. That said, sequels of these games (One Piece/Hokuto no Ken musou, Tales of Xillia, FFXIII...) usually sell much less than the first game, so that's what they should be concerned about.

Oh? So you will get them if you play campaign mode but this just allows you to "unlock" them earlier?
And unlocking chars is through story mode, correct?

Because fans will pay for it. I don't mean that in a cynical way either. If Lisa Lisa or Old Joseph get released, I'll buy them instantly. Same if it get's localized.

So, if I understand, the current DLC besides the characters is pretty much the same thing as all those f2p social/facebook games?
Anyways, horse combos

Yes, which is essentially "buy this to grind through campaign faster".
If you actually care just for the game as-is, you'll just be buying the character DLC.

Believe me, i am, but i don´t like to be reminded every 5 seconds that i could pay to unlock shit in my games, extreme monetization in full retail titles sucks big time.
Oh well, i guess i´ll wait.
Wut. Not quite the impression I'm getting, far from it.
"Oh, man, you can't play campaign mode anymore! You're out of tokens for the next three hours! Tired of waiting? Buy some tokens from us!"
I'd call that annoying DLC bullshit. It's like free-to-play, except, well, you bought the damn game.

For me, single player stuff in a fighter does nothing. I'm hoping that this game is fun to play with friends and other people online. Unlocking chars is a pain, but it is what it is.
Wait what? It is like this?

Infinites aside, has there been any variety in combos yet besides jump in->chain->special->cancel->repeat?
'Fraid so.

Yeah, that's why I'm hoping they take care of these problems and can show off progress in a sequel. I think CC2 has the potential to come up as a developer, and Jojo deserves love.

aNYONE ever bought from Nippon Yasan?

They seem to have some decently priced JPN PSN codes and I'm thinking of getting codes from them.

I've heard problems with them regarding physical products after shipping. But I've ordered PSN cards with them and ran into no problems with that.

Did they send you a digital code relatively quickly?
Only played for a few hours, but from what I've seen, yeah, it does seem quite shallow and repetitive. Raw supers or throws do shit damage, and LMH xx special xx super does "meh" damage. It seems we're indeed supposed to go for chain xx special xx putstun cancel xx rinse and repeat.
I'm sure there will be some nasty setups discovered soon, but the core mechanics of the game is... well, quite bland and not very fun for the moment.

I have no idea how "complex" this game will get. Was it ever marketed as a serious fighter?
That being said, I'm sure people will find some crazy broken shit in a week or so.
Nope, but we're hoping for at least some depth challenge, just enough to not bore you, especially in SP modes.

Well, it's not like I really expected otherwise but I'd hope there'd be some fun to it at least.
It's always been marketed as a "Jojo game" so not really. The problem is that fanservice aside, the game's content seems to be bad, which leaves the actual gameplay as the main thing the game could have going for it.
Makes me wish Capcom will still do random licensed fighters again. Sure they were usually unbalanced, but they were lots of fun.
They usually did a good job with fan service too.

A return to glory for Capcom with Jojo would be nice, but they seem to be satisfied with the path they're walking...unfortunately

Speaking purely as a fighter, I'm sure there is a ton to discover. These types of games always have something crazy about them.
I'm curious as to how you guys felt about the HnK fighter, if you ever had a chance to play it that is.
The real issue is that they marketed for the casual Jojo gamer, and didn't leave a robust enough story mode to actually please them. Instead we get a fighting game that doesn't please casual players, and is panned by FGC gamers because they're picky as shit anyway.
In a few weeks we'll see a genuine competitive game emerge, or we'll see a game that doesn't please either crowd and will either be dropped or be patched as much as MK.

It's not a combo game.
People aren't even using all the mechanics yet. I haven't even seen any combos using stand rush yet. or even non stand users
I think the mechanics in the game lend themselves more to interesting setups and neutral game play than combos anyways.
Basically this is day 1 don't be making calls like this yet.

I agree. All we've really seen so far is a few elementary training mode combo vids and AI derpfests. Once people start getting comfortable with the systems and experimenting, we'll start to see it open up.
Oh it is.
Not "Marvel combos", but the game needs combo for you to do damage.
There will be setups and footsies, but they will lead to chain-super-cancel-repeat combos because this is how you get damage going on.
Notice that I've said "for the moment" in my post.
I will give the game a fair chance, but *for the moment* I'm not having a lot of fun with it.

Oh I'm not giving up on the game, it's barely day 1 after all. Still, my expectations are low just in case.

So why are people getting so bummed out watching videos of combos starting off of a jump in with 3 bars?
and I disagree because puttsun isn't the only use of meter in the game. There's EX Ripple moves, Stand Rush, Pillar man modes etc.
So I think it's weird to make the call that hoarding all your meter for puttsun chain loops is the best option when no one has even really explored the other meter options in the game yet.
It's conjecture based off people messing around with impractical shit and posting it on youtube.
