Thoughts on the Riot fighting game? Given all the recent shenanigans going down with China....not sure how I feel about it.

They're definitely going to want to make it for the widest possible audience - I'm expecting it to be super simplified, like Rising Thunder was -- it might even be like Fantasy Strike.

 

Probably won't be my thing, but I'll try it just like I try everything else.

Namco is making Frame Data paid DLC for Tekken. A feature that everyone else includes for free. People need to call them out for this before it becomes standard practice. Sega's Virtua Fighter, NRS fighters, Tecmo's DOA, and Capcom's SFV didn't charge for this. It was added as a free update for SFV. Gameplay features should not be paid DLC. This gives a competitive edge.

I don't see any reason to call them out for it.

 

Tekken's home release is 2 years old and they put extra development time and resources to add this feature.  I don't see any reason why they shouldn't charge for it.  It's not like the feature was sitting around already complete and they just flipped a switch to make it work.

 

Not only that, but the other cool features like replays and punishment training are free.  I don't think paying extra is a problem here.

I'll agree to disagree. They launched with subpar training options and are charging DLC to fix it. This sets a precedent for gameplay features in fighters being locked behind a paywall.
