Is it worth getting the stardom dlc

[lloydy402004]

Was wondering

[Apathy]

It adds 10 wrestlers, their themes, the title belts, and a ring. It's not very much content for $20 when you compare it to the NJPW DLC. Content makers say the edit parts are really good. The moves they have are nice and a fair amount of Workshop edits require them. I'd buy it on sale.

If you aren't a fan of the Stardom promotion or the kind of person that loves making plenty of edits, I'd wait for a sale.

Personally, I think it's a great deal compared to other fighting games charging $8 per character with pieces that are only interchangeable between 40-50 characters. With Fire Pro, the sky's the limit with what you can do with the DLC's.

[Obediah_Iscariot]

My view is that it was not worth it.

I found the edit pieces to be far too few and far too specific.

Also if you're not a fan of Japanese women's wrestling then the new characters will be useless to you.

I'm not a fan of Japanese women's wrestling but only bought the DLC for edit parts. I was disappointed.

[Guacamole Anderson]

Yeah, I'd wait for a sale. There are a few decent edit parts and I do like some of the theme music quite a bit. But I don't really have any interest in the Stardom promotion itself or their wrestlers. Seems like one of those things where a licensing deal fell into the developer's lap and they jumped on it.

I'd call this "nice to have" and not "need to have."

Wait for a sale, compared to the other promotion based DLC you're getting much less content for the cost.

The official edits are forgettable (like any Spike edit), the moves are decent and the parts are nice. But compared to something like the NJPW Heavyweight DLC, what you get in terms of quantity and quality is lacking.

Edit
For comparison on quantity:

1) it has a similar number of parts to the NJPW Jr DLC.
2) it has fewer moves, of lower quality, than the NJPW Jr DLC.
3) it has fewer wrestlers than the NJPW Jr DLC.
4) it doesn't include a story mode, but is more expensive for some reason.

Worth it, there is 10 times more edit pieces then the NJPW ones, yes there is only 10 wrestlers though they include so much new bits and pieces.

Examples

A whole bunch of new tops, for every wrestler they add 10 new tops along with all different designs.
New elbowpad pieces
Laces which go up to the kneepads
whole bunch of bottom pieces

If you worry about price buy on sale, if not buy it at full price, i paid 30$ for this and it's the best FPWW DLC.

There is definitely not 10x more edit parts...

More then the NJPW ones

[Carlzilla]

No there isn't. Trust me. I've ripped the parts.

NJPW has several times more.

[View The Phenom]

Yeah, NJPW Heavy has more base parts (the heads and hair pieces) than the entire set of Stardom parts.
Stardom barely has the same number of parts as the NJPW Jr DLC alone.

It's not even a contest.

[Shadow Master]

At first glance, I thought the $20 price tag was a result of licensing fees associated with the Stardom promotion. But, with the Entrance Craft and Fire Promoter DLC's also being the same price, it seems Spike has decided on a precedent.

Having said that, don't be surprised if the next Stardom (rumoured) or The Vanishing DLC's also cost $20 a piece.

[View The Phenom]

Honestly, I would be surprised if every DLC going forward isn't $20 a piece. They seem more interested in getting as much as possible out of the remaining player-base, as opposed to encouraging new players to pick up the game.

That includes the remaining crafting tools as well, even if they're already available in some form (Move and Part Craft).

[ZenMonkey]

Yes, but wait for a sale if you tight on cash.
