Is some of that stuff just the development that gets done while the discs are being printed?
Listen once you realized "Oh they are in it to make money", everything makes sense. Companies are not your friend, they will put their bottomline before you every time.
It's more like the artists/others and programmers split off into different groups at a certain point in development (feature complete). The programmers are focusing exclusively on optimizing, bug fixing, and balancing the last 6ish months of development (the last month is manufacturing though). So the artists and such really don't have anything to do on the retail version, so they start working on the DLC. This is so you're not paying people to sit around and it helps get DLC out faster. This is why map packs can come out so fast. So in the case of fighting games you might have the model/animations done, but no programmers available for implementation because they have to focus on actually shipping the game in a good state. So DLC characters won't even really be touched by programmers until the game goes gold.

I think the only time this was ever actually a thing was with SFxT, where the console DLC characters were actually being held back for Vita exclusivity.
Basically, there's this period a lot of gamers don't understand, between when a game is "done" and when it ships.
The other discussion I'm talking about though is really a series of discussions that have been going on about difficulty modes and the ability to skip things.
Not fighting games but obviously there have been a decent amount of instances of completed on disc content not being available usually because of pre-order stuff.

Oh I know, but the SFxT situation comes to mind because of how egregious it was. Like, they announced that the DLC would be Vita-exclusive for months before it would be on PS360. It was one of the dumbest things I had heard of by that point in time.

And so, we will drag them.
I'm way on the outsdie of the FGC so I don't really have an opinion on the game-play, but the hell were they doing with SFxT? It pretty much became a bad joke after a time right?

It was the textbook definition of executive meddling.
Evening.
Well, in the life of me, last week one of my best friends OD'd, survived, and then moved to another city without saying goodbye because they don't like goodbyes.

Yo, not skipping over you being down. Good looking out.
Would be cool if we could get everyone still catching up or interested playing a couple of sessions.

That Battle Royale thirst is real on consoles, folks. So who is going to throw their hats into the ring next after epic? Ubisoft? Treyarch?

I am waiting for the complete edition of Horizon to drop. I am glad I waited along with Ni Oh and didn't impulse buy due to hype.
It's kind of funny because this was already done in other games. But next I can see one of the COD's, but not many others unless they're smaller studios.
I know a couple of cats in here that can do that. Signal boosting with a quote to help you out.

WTF is wrong with you? I can't help you with that. I know solo artists with that style, but no groups. Groups for R&B is rare in the underground scene and the only two I know of, KING, and OSHUN I don't like and they're not what you're looking for.
He's lost, and neither myself, you, or Feenix can help him with those restrictions. My soul is hurt. No neo-soul? No jazz? My entire listening is that. That's my A1 ish, especially in the blanket genre of Soul/R&B.
What time and day do you want to try ?
