nah i'm having a cool day, that wouldn't do anything for me

mass effect andromeda is a good comparison. another game that some people will enjoy and some people won't but a ton of people on the internet are gonna talk about how wrong some of those people were for MONTHS

because this is just internet gaming culture in general. it is so depressing and makes me question the personal choice of even supporting this hobby because it seems to be genuinely distructive.

andromeda was really bad to be fair, and was basically a company making GBS threads out a product half-finished because they knew it'd make money off the brand, even if it killed the ip. even if you liked the game you have to admit 'we'll put this out, get mediocre (for a triple A game) reviews, but then fix it in the sequel' isn't exactly good to the customers. that's what this is about when you get down to it, basically, people feeling cheated or hurt by corporations. you can say it's toys as much as you want but stuff like SFV's launch is basically just capcom going 'gently caress you, you'll buy it anyway,' and while obviously people can just not buy what capcom puts out in the future it's understandable that they'd have some resentment.

Dude, it's fine to say some toys are bad tho. People just don't need to get weird about it on both sides of the spectrum. It's fine.

I think it's also annoyance that people and gaming journalism (lol) will give these massively flawed games tons of air time and decent reviews just because they're by a big developer and then barely acknowledge and toss 6/10s at stuff that's interesting and well-made but obscure. like if french bread or whoever had released a game in sfv's launch state it would have gotten 2/10s and been a public laughing stock.

and obviously review scores don't matter (except that companies clearly base decisions off of them), but it still kinda sucks.

my position is that it is toys. buy them or don't, basing your identity around being part of a club who go on an internet forum and get in slapfights about how a video game is objectively bad is, and i mean this, sad. very very sad to me. tbh i like that at least you were honest about the culty echochamber poo poo that people are doing. if you believe yourself to be some warrior in a video game war, go nuts. we all have our delusions that keep us going.

but i am the odd one out here so i try not to read these threads too much because they contain very, very little of value. tabs is actually funny and jmcrofts and sn64 do legitimately good work when new games come out.

i love fighting games so i will buy this fighting game and play it and probably enjoy it a ton.

How is that any different than what you do though? You're on the same discussion forum, in this particular thread, judging us for judging a game/company. I don't think having an opinion on and discussing with others something you're interested in is "sad" or wrong in any way. It's easy to just dismiss the value of a given topic by devaluing it and saying "it is toys", but these toys are also something you love and care about enough to say you're going to just throw money at without regard for the quality of the product or the relationship between the people making the product and the consumer. Being an active participant in a subculture is not about "delusion", it's just about contributing something to the community, even if it's just a post on a message board.

this part. i started reading this and my eyes glazed over because i do not care about the objective quality of a video game

the fact that you guys are now invoking some grand war against late stage capitalism to justify your whining on the internet about video games is absurd to me

i made a post about how this game is flawed but looks fun and people went apeshit. people enjoy palling around with their buddies on the internet and attacking people who don't share their opinion. that is the vast majority of content people post about fighting games in these forums. very few people, especially among the ones who post the most, actually talk about PLAYING fighting games.

uh, grats? sfv launched without even an arcade mode. that isn't about objective quality, that's about charging 60 dollars for a game without even basic features. iunno why that's hard or somehow delusional or pathetic to think that maybe they should have delayed sfv a few months to put in basic stuff like an arcade mode instead of crapping it out because they knew people'd buy it anyway.

i do not give a single poo poo about an arcade mode. i bought sfv and i loved it. i bought the season 1 pass because i loved it. i enjoy that game. didn't get season 2 because i have not been playing that much, not a huge fan of season 2.

hey, get this. the "best" fighting game content/polish wise is injustice 2 and it is the only fighting game i really regret buying because i just do not enjoy the game that much, even compared to injustice 1 which i enjoyed. experiences are subjective and you caring about people spending money on video games you don't want them to spend money is behavior that i don't think should be encouraged.

i am poor as gently caress and buying almost every fighting game has not hurt my budget at all, but i don't spend money on things often.

just because you enjoy getting hosed in the rear end by capcom doesn't mean people should, considering you are clearly brain broken.

drat, you're right, if they had released the game with content that appealed to more consumers they probably would have sold more of their product because more people would have bought it... holy poo poo!

I've basically learned not to read any threads about a game I actually might enjoy because the constant negatives for page after page stops me actually enjoying the game.

We'll all be disappointed if the game is poo poo, no need to put yourself through the pain of thinking it will be poo poo for the next 3 months on top of that. The crusade of 'destructive criticism' and 'negative propaganda' (lol) against capitalism/capcom won't make a difference to their bottom line, the game being actually poo poo or not on release will.

Nigga, the loving tekken 7 thread was filled with nothing but elation for tekken as a whole and the actual game came out and people loved it. Like it shouldn't come as a surprise that when you release a good product that doesn't burn your audience that your audience responds with good will and love and not toxicity and cynicism. This is not even to mention that if you are this easily swayed by the opinions of others, how are you reading this thread right now and making all of these stupid disingenuous posts about the points others are making? Also, no one is killing themselves calling this game poo poo and posting on an internet forum about one game is not a crusade either for that matter.
