Am I the only one who really, REALLY hates this whole "exclusive content ONLY for preorder" crap?

Oh, you're not the only one. I was bitching about that bullshit (though not this example) back when Gamestop was giving away half a game's content - or worse, game breaking weaponry for multiplayer - a few months back. <_<

Seriously, the fuck?

I'd be more irritated if I didn't already hate GameStop with a passion.

Yeah, I know. If this was their first offense, then I'd be a lot more irritated. Now I'm just looking at them like... like...

Well pre-order bonuses suck mostly becuase I don't think anyone should have to preorder, I shoudl be able to go to the fucking store and buy the damn game, and I shouldn't have to go to Gamespot/EB just to get something that shoudl be in the game anyway. Although there is one thing I hate more than the pre-order bullshit, that's the for another $5-$15 you can buy unlocks, or a multiplayer mode we put on the game disc but we're making you pay for it.

I'm looking at you EA and Capcom!

Preorder bonuses suck monkey balls. Any NEW copy of a game should come with a little bonus, not just preordered games.

I've yet to see the QoS MP maps I was promised when I preordered. They were suppose to be out in Jan, but nothing else has ever been said of them.

I actually like pre-order bonuses. Encourage buying a game new and give a bonus to people who want to boost the pre-release sales numbers.

I've had the game pre-ordered and fully paid for actually for a couple of months. I like getting a bonus. >>

I'm still pissed that the exclusive pre-order Army of Two guns could not be purchased as DLC. Sometimes playing the game I wish I could have a sniper rifle that could shoot grenades. >>

It's not pre-order bonuses I have a problem with; it's making it where you have to pre-order at a certain place to get them that pisses me off.

Don't mind me, I'm just pissy that the preorder bonus of QoS is still MIA. Makes me regret paying $60 on QoS just before GoW2 came out. Guess which game I played 20 times more than the other?

"Here at Gamestop, we'll beat the game for you! Just don't try to sell it back here, we'll take your money away from you so fast, your eyes will spin like a one-armed bandit!"

But yeah, like Lowe said, it's the Gamestop-centric Preorder bonuses that piss me off. I liked getting a statuette for my Street Fighter Anniversary Game, and I liked getting all sorts of little bonuses like that. Even the mini-Ada for pre-ordering RE4 was neat.
But giving you game-breaking weaponry or enabling does-no-harm-to-the-player cheats in games that always demerit the player when they're cheating? That's just plain not kosher.




...that said, I'd have paid a few bucks to have everyone pre-unlocked in DW:Gundam 2. fucking requirements to unlock characters is fucking psychotic.

BlazBlue is the only pre-order I've thought was really, really worth it. Daisuke Ishiwatari is well known for composing some of the best, rock-heavy soundtracks in the business, and getting that, along with a DVD with high-level strategies for each character, is HUGE for a game like BlazBlue.

Maybe depending on the plotline we can kill him and that would be glorious.

Gambit just makes me think of 7th grade lunchtime fanboy arguments and I hate him. >_<

At the moment I'm planning on playing the game with as many Thunderbolts as possible and everyone else is secondary.

Three slots left....

They should make Dr. Strange a hidden character who basically opens a debug menu for the game. Or they could add Cable so Deadpool has one more person to have some cannon bantor with.

... since characters who have nothing to do with Civil War are showing up on the playable list I have no clue what to think.

I'm hoping for Moonstone, Radioactive Man, and either Bullseye or Marvel Boy (prefer Marvel Boy, my wife really really hates Bullseye).

EDIT: Cable has been shown to be in the game. It looks like he is in it as either part of the story or as a possible boss depending on the side you pick.

I really hope Cable is playable at some point.

As to the remaining three slots, I'd like to see Punisher, Moon Knight, and Taskmaster. I'd want Ghost Rider to be an option, but I really just don't see it happening, and my fiancee likes Moon Knight, so....

Heh, they actually went and did it. I must confess to being somewhat amused.

I was talking to wife about Penance today and how it is soundling like most of the last team of Thunderbolts might be in the game.

She told me that I had to tell her I would not play as Bullseye no matter what. >_<

If he is in the game and has a grab move where he shanks someone's spine and I can't do that... I'll be sad. >_<

What is the point of having Hulk and Juggernaut in the same game? I'm mad at my pre-order bonus now. Looks fun in the video but... well... Hulk can do all that too and I get to make funny Hulk lines. Juggs just isn't that funny.

Ms. Marvel has been confirmed:

It looks like she still has that stupid orbiting ball power from the last game. ><
