I'm terrible at Virtua Fighter but I think I'm going to get this. The semi-freemium model that they're adopting seems pretty smart (low base price, high DLC price) because, at the very least, it will encourage casual players like myself to try it out.
Will wait for review. My $15 is going to Sonic 4 Episode 2.
@turtlelink This will be amazing, I am (almost) certain of it. I will be reviewing both anyway so let me know any questions you might have
