“Paying for this product doesn't actually give you all that much, considering most of the game is chopped up into little DLC-sized pieces and sold separately, over half the cast is unplayable without paying for them. What did I even pay for?”
“season 4 has to be one of the worst patches in any fighting game i have ever seen whatever happened to putting out a good game and letting it be good every game dev feels the need to ruin good games with constant crappy updates. EDIT…”
