Gossip The DLC on this game is too expensive. Its a bad game.


I would honestly only be playing this game with the 1 character made available to me.


The game looks really good. Is it really that bad?


It's not bad at a all, honestly feels fresh to the fighting genre. It's easy to pick up and very hard to master. On top of that you can always try out the game to see if it is something you like!

Gossip, no trolling or "you suck at the game" aside. What makes it "bad?"
