I just beat the game and got the true ending and I'm ready for 4 more episodes.

Go for it, now! These new episodes may just be the best part of the game.

As much as I'm pissed that the so called "true ending" DLC, I'm actually happy that this game is getting the post-release DLC support.

Knowing CAPCOM, they'll likely release the "complete" disc version of it, which I might consider depending on the price, if that doesn't happen, well.. I can always just get the DLC.

Having said that, the game is good enough a package as it stands right now... it almost gave me feeling of playing Japanese Anime version of Heavy Rain.

So, I guess we can blame this on Mass Effect 3, right? I mean, wasn't it getting an actual ending hailed as the DANGEROUS PRECEDENT that would usher in stuff like this? (Not counting Fallout 3, Prince of Persia 2008, and other games that have already done it.)

Brad and Patrick seem unusually excited for this.

Everybody who has ACTUALLY PLAYED THROUGH THE GAME seem stoked as hell about it. The butt hurt comes from indignant and ignorant people who haven't touched the game or at worst skimmed through it on YouTube (Which I believe does a HUGE disservice to the EXPERIENCE that Asura's Wrath is.)

this, like the true ending seems like its gonna be WIIILLLLDDD!!!!! like that thing crashing into the earth, which im sure is asuras fault :P, and then glimpses of a final duel between asura and yasha, yea super stoked, hate this ending dlc trend, but still cant deny im stoked

Well, looks like I'll be starting a new trend. From now on, I'll just wait until games are actually finish/complete before I purchase them.

@cannonballBAM: No, the specific DLC of the "true ending" was not announced. I played, and beat, the game and also beat the "hidden ending" the game had. Both sucked and both were not even an ending and ended on a cliffhanger that did not resolve the story arc of the first game: saving your daughter.

I understand you are upset someone called you out, but don't be an ass now. Obviously you don't like it when people call you on your bullshit. Responding to you quickly has nothing to with my in progress Mass Effect fan fic or my Hanar pocket vagina.

Also, chocolate milk rocks. If you can't handle that why do you bother living?

I was going to say that this reminded me that I should play this game, but then I realized I should just wait until they put out Ultimate Asura's Wrath with all the DLC on disc.

Exactly what I was thinking as well. No way I'm spending $6 on the ending to a story, especially since this entire game is nothing but pressing A and watching things go crazy-go-nuts...

Yes yes yes yes. I really want to play this game, but nickle and dime-ing my pockets is not the way to earn my cash Capcom. It feels more like I'm being hustled.

@BPRJCTX: +1 I keep saying, as long as these people keep buying crap DLC the companies are going to keep making it more and more horrible. They release unfinished games and expect us to buy the end or fixed endings (Mass Effect 3)

Haha this made my day. You quickly went from being polite and acting as if "trolling" didn't bother you, to using vulgarity and trying to voice your opinion of which is a more justifiable mean of short changing the consumer after I said you write fan fiction. The internet is great.

Maybe they will come out w/a version of Asuras Wrath that you just watch. I'd buy it and put it next to my only other anime, Akira.

You know what, I might actually play this game, since that won't happen. The graphics look like they rock, and the theme seems intense.

And just when I was ready to try Asura's Wrath at a cheaper price, Capcom once again tells me to wait for the inevitable Asura's Wrath: Angrier Edition. If they're going to charge for endings like this, the game needs to be cheaper at launch.

Now you just reminded me that I'm probably going to have to pay $10 for DLC to get the real ending to Mass Effect 3...

THIS IS A HORRIBLE TREND!

Yeah, wow, I figured Asura's Wrath was a weird fanservice by Capcom and not a disgusting bit of business to add to the pile. Goddammit, guys.

I watched this game on youtube and that was an amazing, free, experience. I highly recommend it if you don't have the cash to spend. It might actually be better since the actual playing parts don't seem very interesting. Most of the gameplay is mediocre hack and slash.

You really shouldn't be talking about how mediocre gameplay is if you haven't even played the game.

Maybe you are right. I should have said that the combat design is mediocre. There is just a few enemies in the game, small and big. You mash buttons to kill the small and you have to dodge a bit with the big. You can tell a quite a bit by looking at a game, especially if you watch the whole game. Maybe it feels great, I can't really say, but at least Brad didn't think so.

The fighting is really just something you button-mash your way through between big action sequences, with the exception of a couple of annoyingly tricky bosses who do a ton of damage and can knock you out of your attacks and generally just obliterate you.
Azura's Wrath Review
Combat is fine as long as you adjust the difficulty that lends you a challenge.
I don't expect to start a God of War game on Easy or Normal for them to give me any chellenge. I won't learn anything that way, it will be easy and I won't be punished for my mistakes.
This game is somewhat easy. I played it through on hard and it made sense. There are deliberate delays in your attacks, strong punch disables your countering but gives you few frames of invincebility.

I personally don't think combat is as bad as people make it out to be. It's not the most complicated but it does provide a challenge.

This is pretty disgusting. Leave it to Capcom to make the best and worst DLC imaginable. The Ryu and Akuma stuff is cool, but the "real ending" stuff has to stop.

If this keeps up, every game will have a horrible Halo 2 cliffhanger ending, except worse, because instead of waiting for the sequel, we'll have to shell out for content they're hiding away on the disc to begin with.

@cannonballBAM: Troll failed :

1.) Bioware had an ending to Mass Effect 3...just most people don't like it.

2.) Bioware has not reported that they are going to charge for any update, change, or addition to the current ending.

3.) Your statement regarding "paying for the beginning to the game" is stupid, pointless, and without merit.

We're sorry your troll failed. Please try again later. Goodbye!

The fact you immediately were offended helps me believe I touched a nerve with Mass Effect. There was an ending for Asura's Wrath, also the DLC was announced before the game was released. I didn't mean to make you spill your chocolate milk when you were typing out your Mass Effect fan fiction novel. Please, continue.

I'm slightly confused... So some of those "episodes" are just straight animated shorts that count as chapters while others will be actual playable levels?

The animated ones will also have QTEs.

But no playable levels. :)

Honestly I'm happy for the Street Fighter stuff, I'm glad to see Capcom acknowledge this game as one of its own. I really hope this game did well. I don't know if it needs a sequel, but crazy shit is always good, and we need devs to get more chances to just go buck-ass wild like this. Banzai!
