Title: New DLC character added to SaSART
Post by: Radrappy on July 04, 2013, 02:13:35 pm
This probably doesn't deserve a topic seeing as how it's already on the front page but what the heck. 

So they added "General Winter" from Company of Heroes to the PC port of the game, bringing the total of PC exclusive characters to 4.  This is pretty surprising given that the property was only acquired this January, meaning this character was somehow given priority above all others. 

The roster and after release support for this game continues to baffle.  Where is the dlc for console versions?  Why are they focusing on properties that could hardly even be called part of Sega at this point?  The game is still great, but this addition is quite frankly a mild slap to the face. 

I ain even mad.  Just confuzzled.

i think its pretty awesome

no reason to see it as a slap in the face, it was probably paid for with part of SEGA's company of heroes marketing budget

He looks so serious in this screen, makes me laugh

I see no problem with this, especially since it is free.

However makes S0L defence of x, y and z character not being in the title because they were out of place fall completely flat on its face.

All that talk about budgeting, justifying clone characters, and that ridiculous poll was essentially all nonsense.  Surely that deserving of some ire. 

I don't see how this being a freebie makes it better, especially since they've already given the PC version 3 exclusives prior to this (one of which is another GUEST CHARACTER).

Happy 4th of July! Here is a realistic Russian war commander as DLC for Sonic racing transformed!

xD, makes me laugh, thank you SEGA for doing such weird things!

@Aki-at and Radrappy

I agree, minus the part where I do see it as problematic. It's very generous to be sure, especially for PC owners, but like Radrappy said there's reason to be disappointed. Though not to the level of ire that I've seen from some posts.

I love how sumo has been pushing this game on PC. Shogun, football manager, team fortress 2 and now company of heroes?

This game deserves any kind of publicity or promotion, and the way sumo has handled this on PC is nothing short of brilliant and is another part of SEGA doing a good job at establishing itself on PC

Hope this shows that they're still supporting the game in general though. Still crossing my fingers for the return of ryo hazuki

Really glad this game is getting more attention (Top 10 selling games on STEAM). A lot of positive feedback on forums as well. 

One of SEGA's best titles this generation.  I sincerly hope the third one won't be one of the Wii-U Sonic exclusives.

They added the Total War: Rome 2 guy now. D:

It does feel like all of our efforts were in vain. ;___;

Amazing how much support the PC version is getting and it shows with how much more exposure the Sonic franchise is getting from Steam users. The series had a tough time breaking into SEGA's top 10 Steam sellers, let alone Steam's top 100 sellers.

No new characters for the consoles make me sad though..

I'm turning PC gamer by the end of the year, and Sega's investment on the PC platform is one of my biggest motivations.

Go for it crack!! Especially if yer already used to mouse keyboard combo for first person games. But thankfully controller support has become great so no biggies if ya prefer cotroller. It helps that steam with bg picture mode has encouraged full controller support so future looks bright. Now with both ps4 and one having online fees i'd personally say its the better choice.
