Shitty AI design isn’t the fault of the person that wants an enjoyable single player experience.
Then Call of Duty is a solid shooter.
Honestly I shouldn’t have said solid, I should have said hardcore or something along those lines. "Solid"
is too open to interpretation, but I’m sure you get my point.
‘Fuck you’ and ‘cancer’ both came from one poster. The ‘people like you are ruining fighting games’ quote was not directed at the OP, but rather someone defending the casual perspective. At most, you have… what? Five posts out of fifty on the first page that are overly abrasive/anti-casual. Most of the rest of the users where giving their opinion in a more reasonable fashion.
What isn’t reasonable is to assume that because that one person has that opinion or is allowed to share it here, that said opinion represents everyone here at the site.
In other words, your proof sucks.
Other than you throwing shade at MKX that comparison doesn’t actually make sense. MKX is a much more competition worthy fighter than CoD is a competition worthy shooter. Other than being loaded with shock value crap (as opposed to being loaded with fanservice like SFV) there isn’t much that you could critique MKX for. It appears to have a pretty solid competitive community with a constantly shifting meta.
I have only played single player to unlock shit. Other than that, it’s just a waste of space as far as I’m concerned. Besides ST, the AI was never good enough to play against me. This was my attitude since 1998, when I discovered I could go to an arcade with a good amount of players and play them instead.
Now, I see it as even less important. Aside from just wanting to try it out for a sec, story mode was not fun. Even for Xrd, which has decent story or so I’ve heard, as soon as I got it I just went straight to training mode and challenges.
Single player mode is just outdated, imo.
you’re not the only one. back in the day that’s how you warmed up. i like it and if it was in V i’d play it now and then. it doesn’t make or break the game for me but it’s an oldschool thing that they want to replace but don’t know how. i liked the progression in difficulty which is missing in V’s survival modes, that you’d find in the old fighter’s arcade mode. after playing some levels or whatever, i jump online.
I do some of the single player content to unlock things. Only thing that is has some merit is maybe trails cause you can learn a good bnb combo from it which you probably didn’t know about. They help you understand the character a bit more. That’s about it.
When i do arcade mode is to unlock things and get the story for character. After I do it once I never go back.
MKX brings nothing to the genre except for some simplicity and gimmicks. Sounds kinda like CoD to me…
Cuz, y’know, SFV has more than simplicity and gimmicks…
I enjoy well written, short, interesting, self contained stories for each character that compliments and/or fleshes out the character. Examples: SFA2 and 3S endings
I also like a good overarching story like 3S had. 4 just had a lame protagonist with a dumb name. (If you were going to give a nod, why not call him Killian? Killian actually sounds like an imposing boss name, not Seth lol). They can’t do worse than 4 in that regard.
From what I’ve seen of the story so far it’s one of the things they got right with 5.
I was like this when I was age 7 to about age 10.
When I turned 12 I bought Street Fighter Alpha 2 and my sisters boyfriend at the time who was 16 taught me how to play. I discovered that the primary point of the game was competitive, it was the most fun I had ever had with a videogame, playing competitive.
Got better, went out and purchased Versus Book for SFA2, learned about Daigo, Alex Valle, ended up playing SFA2 for the next two summers in a row 1996 and 1997. Some of the best memories of my life.
Single player in a fighting game is definitely the most mindless, pointless and unfulfilling waste of human time on the planet. It’s worth it to see the stories if they are cool and worth it, or if there’s a cool bonus mode like World Tour in SFA3, but after that or otherwise Uhhh.
All I know is I dreamed of being able to play others back in 1996 so much so that I traveled 2 hours just to play 3 other unique humans with my best friend before I could even drive. Then Xbox Live came around, laggy and shut but still a dream come true. Those were the stone ages, today’s online play is light years better you are spoiled to complain honestly.
The majority of people who purchase this game do so for single player content and to mess around with their friends offline and maybe jump online for a while until they either get tired of losing or they aspire to get better and start getting fulfillment that way. If it’s the former, they trade the game in after they’ve “beaten” it. To the latter, well, that’s what this board is about, was designed for and what it caters to. You’re not going to find anyone here that relates to you, this board is and always has been for the person who aspires to get better at the game and finds fulfillment and enjoyment though winning learning and getting better. The digital marital artist.
I would suggest joining maybe gamefaqs you might be able to find a few like minded individuals but even there it will be extremely difficult finding people your age. Most people with your mindset are again, children and pre adolescents.
I’m just telling the truth how you interpret that truth is up to you, I meant no ill will the truth doesn’t have bias it just is.
And yet it still manages to be the deeper game.
Don’t get it twisted with MK, their gore IS their fanservice.
I can’t agree with that. Running at someone and hoping your mixup lands isn’t exactly what I’d call depth.
Well I shouldn’t say that. I mean sometimes people throw full screen projectiles at each other for a little bit. There’s that.
Nope, nothing subjective here at all.
my thing is the people defending this game in this thread seriously are trying to throw competitive spirit as a defense.
If you don’t get a game that appeals to everyone, you won’t have a game. It’s deadass that simple.
You guys can try it all you want but when no one sponsors SFVI and it doesn’t come out cause of this, there goes your hardcore community. lol.
give a game everyone can appeal to. It doesn’t have to be trash fanservice but it can be something everyone can play and say “damn this is good!”
And even if you put the sales aside, the quality of the game at it’s current state is just… bad. So the sales really do make sense at this point.
I’m no Street Fighter veteran, but coming from a background pretty much full of Mortal Kombat games since the very first one up until MKX, I do have to say that single player in SFV is so far disappointing but seeing them adding more modes in not just the March update but in the future as well gives me hope for some of the iconic stuff like World Tour from Alpha
lol @ playing street fighter for the sake of single player
you are better off sitting in a rocking chair and stare out ur window. that would be more worth your while.
In the current state of SFV’s online it’s actually a better idea
spasiba blyet!!!
I’ve been playing since world warrior and no arcade mode in SFV is a huge bummer. I also would like to see some decent character backgrounds as well. The music is really good though.
