You know the launch and aftermath has been messy when no sites pick up interviews detailing the patch or ask some questions regarding the state of the game. Has any one seen any post launch interviews discussing the state of the game?

There's been no patch since the release, why discuss what hasn't changed?

If this patch fucks up the flood gates will open again.
 
Maybe I didn't read too carefully, but did they say anything about fixing/rebalancing survival mode so it's not 90% piss easy before Bison annihilates you?

Why would that happen now when its not released yet? That and its possible they are saving that stuff for NCR.

What? You want to make it harder during the easier levels? They should at least offer better options for health recovery, it being random is stupid as hell.

Usually when big games launch with issues that linger long after launch, sites continues to report on it. Now, I suppose they get a grace period for the patch...but for service model based games like Capcom trotted this out to be (which is bullshit), issues and patches come fast and frequently. Or at least, they should.

But hell, they can even get their shop out on time so all bets are off.

Just a bit harder, maybe like the computer didn't leave to take a piss break during it. But mostly I want Bison to be easier.
It would also help if the health options were random and not fixed(that's what I think anyways, I'm not sure) to screw you by offering low health when you take a lot of damage and high health when you took little damage. That's just bad and leaves a sour taste.

the way it is currently designed its super boring and had dumb difficulty spikes.

make it the same difficulty throughout the entire run and make it less overall matches in each mode. then again they probably designed it this way so that people get discouraged from grinding FM and just pay up for the dlc.

One huge problem with survival mode is that it is just boring and ridic long.

Falling asleep through it is a real problem for me.

Of course I am getting older.

Apparently Hell gives you like 20k per character, so yeah, I can see why they don't want to make it a cakewalk for everyone, but I agree, keeping the whole run at the same difficulty would probably work better.
 
I hope they add the option to get last colors for each characters from the shop menu. I don't want to spend so much time in survival mode on hard unlocking them.
 
Finally some solid info.

I'm also glad that Alex will be free for at least a limited time. I'd like to try him out but I'm not sure if I'm ready to spend my hard earned FM on him just yet.

Waiting to see what the purchasable color options will be. If they're the same as the survival ones then at least that gives an alternative method to grinding, but if they're completely different from the unlockables that would be cool too.

Yes. I'm interested in this too.
 
I can. I can definitely say they didn't nail many other aspects of this game. Game play is the highlight.

Haha fair enough I didn't mean to put a sweeping generalization like that. I was just pointing out that the gameplay is solid as are the graphics and a few other nuisances IMO, at least compared to where Capcom chubbed up on the rest of the game.

I hope it's the survival mode colors. I'd like an option to having to go into that mode for alt costumes and whatnot

Oh. I guess they could do a mini one but they probably wanna do it themselves.

Its gotta be the survival colors, or at the very least have some good newer colors that changes skin color or something for those that don't have colors that change skin or hair.

The criticisms in this topic are looking increasingly petty. That means Capcom is doing their job. Terrible launch, but the first month has the majority of stuff ironed out. By the second update the complaints will probably be closer to absurd than petty.

This game is great, hopefully it can win over those that were turned off initially. If any game can do that it is this one.

Why aren't they just giving us the 80k FM or have it so that you get 2 free story costume unlock of your choice? What if I don't main Ryu or Chun?

I don't main either. I will still happily take them.

Why are things split up? Why isn't it all just on the same day?

They are clearly still working on some stuff with Alex. Man, it really seems like they needed another two months of development. I love the game, it is excellent, but it must be hell at Capcom right now... It also made for a terrible first look.

Damn I wish they would release a trailer. I wanna see Alex in motion.

Even if they never release a trailer we get to see him in motion on our own screens thanks to the free trial.

And if I'm reading it correctly, the longer Capcom bungles the launch of the Zenny store the longer we get to use DLC characters for free. That will certainly soften the blow of their slow feature roll-out. (Watch the Zenny functionality get patched within days of Alex's release.)

Ok I saw a post saying that the UK would get it those days but maybe not the rest of the world.

I don't think that would make sense since the servers are connected with each other.

What I want to know is when the day and night stages are coming. Hopefully that's not what you need to buy.

I think Alex is on Wednesday because the PS Store updates...

Patches can be releases in any day and Capcom choose Monday but DLC (even free for now Alex will have a PS Store entry to people buy it I guess) will happen on Tuesday/ Wednesday.

Like I said I believe Alex is connected at PS Store updates and the patch not.

Maybe US get Alex at Tuesday.

Still not having the daily challenges in with their FM rewards, I'm glad I get to at least try out Alex (and perhaps others) before spending 100K. I really want to see what the economy will be like going forward with dailies and see if simply completing them will allow me to get all characters for free.

I think the actual content already give you all characters for free.

Plus the new mode will give FM too... Trials I'm sure will give some... the future Story mode will give more.

I have done survival for all characters on easy, but I don't think I'm ready to grind out any more FM from that mode. Daily challenges seem more up my alley.

The daily challenges not launching this month is the biggest bummer. I am looking forward to those.
