If I could refund this game I probably would. I even like the actual game but it's like Capcom is actively trying to make the player base smaller and more angry.

I'm totally on the same page.
Xrd definitely subscribes to patchwork game design school (you lose meter if you walk backwards too much? What is that horseshit?) and it's got way too many over-complicated systems.
Also none of Xrd's characters really spoke to me. There's no Q, Vega, Balrog, Cody, Big Band or Nero in there. Everyone is way too anime for my liking.

Try Melty Blood. It's got some confusing mechanics but it's not too bad. Also it has a guy who's hiding a zoo inside his trenchcoat.

Sounds like GG is actually too metal for you :cheers:

I would agree with you on the first part but SFV doesn't have any character unique mechanics and everybody has like 2 specials and a V-Trigger, the complexity of the character by character design has been super limited so far. It makes me think the situation is like 4 people in a Tokyo basement somewhere hitting the server reset button once a week in between non-stop working sessions to just get something out the door at the end of the month

Just designing interesting character mechanics isn't really what takes so long though, it's also a lot of asset generation, animation, tweaking, etc.

But I think your description of the situation is probably pretty accurate.

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
As I see it, SF5 is two things

- An extremely good argument against the "just constantly update this one version instead of re-relaseing the game over and over" model for anyone with less money than microsoft (everyone)

- A game that has nothing going for it compared to other, older & cheaper SF games for anyone that doesn't make their living off Professional Fighting Games

KOFXIV is gonna be one of those games that people say "who gives a gently caress if it's ugly, it's amazing, you casual scum" but no one will play at all after a couple of months. T7 is gonna be Tekken, so a lot of people will buy it but like 5 new people will become part of the competitive scene.

Same. Me and my brother used to go into training mode, turn the damage off and then wail on eachother for entire afternoons. I don't know what it was but that game hit the PS1 at juuuuuuuuust the right time and everyone bought it and loved it. iirc it also had amazing graphics and framerate for the system.

I haven't looked it up to confirm, but that sounds like Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. which was put out by Midway.

So.. going to pick up Revelator next week. Is dustloop still the best resource for character info?

I'd find a GG thread, but let's be honest this is basically the new GG thread. I'm actually pretty hyped to learn it, it would be pretty amazing if Capcom managed to push most of the FGC into something like GG or KOF through how big a gently caress up they've made SFV.

I like playing the game, but it's like they're actively competing to see how poorly they can do and keep people playing. Maybe they're trying to figure out the minimum amount of effort they need to put in before people will just give up?
