I would rather have a blank screen than Udon drawn endings.

Udon Art isn't that bad.

It is true.

Though I wish they used the budget towards cleaning up the art style (since it does actually look good in some places, not my favorite type of art style regardless), more characters, etc instead of a story mode. But people wanted it.

Lol, adding an actual lengthy, coherent story mode and losing throwaway, rando 10 second endings is a net loss? Really?

I swore you just quoted Soul Calibur V and my red flags are getting raised now.

Even if it is 10 seconds, that's still some kind of closure for the casual player to enjoy. When I think of SCV and how they did the exact same thing with a "coherent story mode" that ended up being a rather poorly told story, it actually now makes me very concerned if the story mode could turn out as lackluster as it was in SCV.

A full, 2 hour cinematic story mode requires a billion times more work than a couple still images at the end of arcade mode.

The word you're looking for isn't 'lazy'.

You can't keep bringing up the 2 hour story mode as an excuse for everything wrong with the game.

I think it's Shinkiro.

Thanks.

This is the main reason I was hoping for Arcade endings. Since it allows for more crossover fun. Which is my biggest reason for liking MvC. I love seeing all these different character's interact. Even if they can't be playable.

Exactly. It's always fun game for me to figure out who are those characters. I always like it when I get really stumped with certain characters because how obscure they were. It sucks that we didn't get arcade endings.

Also the arcade mode endings in 3 sucked.

It was like 2 sentences and then occasionally you get some references/cameos. But a lot of it was basic Wiki shit. :/

I mean it still does suck we can't get the minimal treatment like 3's arcade mode, but 3's arcade mode still sucked too.

I don't think anyone here is saying it was good. I already made my complaints awhile back. But at least that small little bit was something on offer and like I said earlier. It's nice to see other character's even if they can't make it into the game outside the artwork.
 
The Arcade endings in MVC3 weren't that bad. Some were, but they had really good ones as well.

UMVC3 shortened those endings and made them dumb. Only the new characters had cool endings.

Arcade Mode will still be played simply to unlock the colors, but it's really lame having no endings.

I don't disagree, I just think we should ask for more, lol.

I'm hoping if this sells well enough and we get another game. They're able to balance the budget better. We're almost there. Story Mode, Arcade Mode with endings, better balance of new and old in the roster with good presentation and it'd be golden.

I mean, why did you expect anything else? That describes the endings in XMvsSF, MSH vs SF too.

And the only reason it doesn't describe the ones in MVC1 is because those were basically the same formula but with in game graphics.

MVC3 had endings fitting for an MVC game. And that's all i want.

Plus, the injustice and MK endings for arcade mode are like that too with minimal, MINIMAL motion comic technology, not that im bashing them, i love those too.

I didn't expect anything else (I'm surprised there's even an arcade mode to begin with with modern Capcom!)? And I'm aware of how it was in older games, I just mean if we're gonna ask for something better I think we can do way better than 3's minimal effort job.


Anyway, any word if the story mode is decent? I know it can't be streamed but is it at least not garbage?
 
If anything, I'm sure I'll have fun gathering the various opening quotes between team members and opponents in Vs CPU.

I like the fact that some characters have various lines to each other.

Also +1 for Hulk calling Thanos "Purple Man" while tagging.

-1 for Iron Man and Cap not referring to each other as Tony and Steve anymore.

Did Flash drop Hulk or is he going to keep at it no matter how much Justin bodies him?

I need my Hulk tech :(

Seriously?

I can't believe they changed that.

I like how Ghost Rider calls Jedah "Dark Messiah".

I might complain about no endings, but things like the various dialogue with their partner/opponents, and the partner warning them when they're about to be KO'ed are some great additions.

Hulk calls Rocket "chipmunk" :3

I really gotta hear that one.

I remember I did same thing during MVC3 when I asked for the helps from NeoGAF and GameFAQS. Some peopler actually helped out at the end but it suddenly stopped because they finally added subtitles in UMVC3.

Maybe we can put together a master list for others to read this time around? I wasn't a member on Gaf back then, but it'd be nice to help now.

So where are people calling this a bomba? Have they changed their mind already?

Bomba is a sales term so it can still be one (and probably will) so I'm not sure where you're getting at.

If you mean the "haters", some people have come around despite the many issues but there will always be those that will shittalk no matter what.

Much like the mediocre roster and subpar presentation, it is what it is :p

I'd be so down with injustice/MKX styled narrated motion comic endings.
That's cool and all but for budget reasons I would have been fine with a few panels.. But we got nothing. Not even points and shit.. Also like someone said arcade endings could have potential teases of future characters and cameos, like SFV did for their story mode endings..
