If it's already in the game, than there should be no reason to use it as DLC.

Complain to THQ. You should know how DLC is by now. Quite a few games already have DLC on the disc at purchase and downloading just unlocks it.

I thought it was his drop kick off the turnbuckle that was DLC not the Lionsault.

I could be wrong. If I am that's pretty ridiculous.

I'm not complaining about it at all.

You said maybe it's to unlock it for everyone else. If it's already on for Jericho, than it should be unlocked for everyone in move edit.

I'm pretty sure that one of the videos showed the drop kick off the turnbuckle was the move that is on the DLC but everywhere has the Lionsault labeled as the DLC.

In previous games, they have been 2 separate items, so if they keep it the same, you can choose to use one and not the other.

Not to mention that the screenshot they posted of the supposed Lionsault looks more like a moonsault.

Check the angle Jericho is coming from, it doesn't add up.

I seen that so I really hope that it's maybe a random occurrence. Possibly the person using him took a bad angle for the Lionsault and that's Jericho just trying to modify it.

Really want DDP but don't want to spend the extra $20. Wish they would just add him into one of the packs.

# 29 Vizen @ 10/07/12 09:59 AM

Thanks, Dan!!

# 30 DKHardee @ 10/08/12 12:01 AM

I would have paid the extra $20 just for DDP and Gangrel! The game is going to be awesome!

After the online disaster that was WWE12 and Undisputed 3(which THQ is STILL claiming they will be releasing a path for), I will be waiting for a good while before I spend a nickel on this game. I LOVE the Attitude Era but have ZERO confidence in THQ releasing a high quality product and then fixing it when it's broken.

# 32 eremiomania @ 10/08/12 05:55 PM

I really wasn't planning on buying WWE '13 after the disaster with the WWE '12 servers, but the Attitude Era and Universe 3.0 details have sucked me back in lol.

Has it been addressed yet whether all your teams and such will be reset every time you get DLC? This has been the case for years and I hate that considering I get all the DLC and am huge into teams and the universe..

I don't remember this happening to me last year? I downloaded all the guys in January and my teams were just fine.

# 34 eremiomania @ 10/09/12 11:00 AM

Happened to me last year with every DLC release..

This might be bad news for you, Vizen. I got this from a different forum, it is supposedly the PS Store description of the attribute editor and unlock all DLC:

"Accelerator ($1.99) – Decide the overall rankings and attributes levels of every WWE Superstar, Legend, and Diva in the game. Unlock every WWE Superstar, Legend, and Diva, including alternate attires and all arenas and championships in WWE ’13. This item does not unlock Attitude Era story content such as photos, videos and matches."

So it looks like it is in one package this year, unlike the previous years where the unlock all and attribute editor were 2 separate pieces of DLC. Hopefully, if you download it, they will still let you activate the 2 parts individually.

Ugh. How dare they make me wait until December to have AJ in my game.

Ditto for the MoD attire in the same pack.

# 38 cdub71323 @ 10/17/12 09:50 AM

Why is it that they have spread out the DLC releases? To me, it would make much more sense to release them all on day one unless things in the DLC aren't ready to go which I can't imagine that is the case. I can understand if new wrestlers join WWE while the game is out and they release a DLC then to add them, but if everything is ready, release it all now so those who enjoy Universe Mode can implement them immediately into their storylines.

I'm obviously buying the Fan Axxess pack so I don't see why I can't get all three right off the bat. Maybe give that option to people that do go the $20 route, or heck I would pay an extra $5 to get them all right away.
