Everyone knew going in that all the characters and shyt would be added in via DLC so i dont see the problem... judging from the videos Ive seen, especially the one explaining Chief Thunder, Im sure this will be a lot of fun and a great addition to the xbox

The only reason it's loosing points is because lack of content.

The reviews have been unanimous in praise for the games mechanics and presentation.

Seein how it's only $20 dollars I don't think it should be compared to the content of $60 fighters, but it is what it is.

The game is a shyt ton of fun and I will be ultra comboing the shyt out of some people come this friday
I hear what you're saying but I like pricing-independent reviews. A lot of great $60 fighters are now available for $20. Skullgirls was always less than $20 and was probably always better than KI. I think a review should be relatively independent of cost and then based on that review, you can discern how much it's worth to you.
Reviews for fighting games are irrelevant
I hear what you're saying too but I bet if we take fighting game review aggregates they're not so far off that they get relative ranking "wrong".

Yeah I agree to an extent, I understand why the game is loosing points, but at the same time it's being compared to games that cost 3x the price.

Look at a game like resogun, it's very light on content but its not being dinged for that. That's because they are comparing it to other $20 games.


And i disagree about skull girls being better. I've played both and KI is far better IMO

If resogun is like Geometry Wars in that it has tremendous replay value and you might be playing it years later, I personally don't see a problem. If KI has no reason to be played over SF, Marvel, etc, I also don't see a problem. This is why reviewing is tough though. Everyone feels differently.

Killer Instinct was always overrated asscheeks, compared to Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat no surprise
