there wont be anymore updates for 3soe. we fucked up, but we dont care, so fuck you
Class-Action lawsuit against Crapcom.
Anyone a lawyer here? 
So, I only made it to page 7. Halfway through that page I couldn’t take any more of this thread so I skipped to page 9 where things seemed to calm down a bit.
It seems that the overall takeaway from this thread is, this game is great for starting out in the SF world. But as you get more serious, you need to either play something else or hit up a “legit cab” or play on one of the more functional, but otherwise similar “impostors” of the olde, rather godly, arcade 3rd strike.
Did I get that right?
Personally, I started this game out on the DC. I’ve always been an SF fanatic but never knew about, or could never get into, the competitive scene. I’ve adored SF3 from the first time I started playing it, even if it’s on the “imperfect” DC version. However, I do have access to buying the arcade version. I’m lucky enough that an SF3 arcade is for sale here in Utah.
Like holy shit, really? Yes.
I wish I could have brought that big ass mofo to EVO this year to see what everyone’s reactions would be. I was really surprised at how short the lines to play 3Soe were and now I know why so it would be really interesting to see the reactions to having a real “arcade perfect” version there.
So, anyways, what I’m trying to say is, this thread is bananas and doesn’t really hold too much merit because there aren’t very many definitions here. SF3oe is a -great- game. It just isn’t great for what it was advertised, nor for what it could have been. I’m not surprised because:
- it’s impossible for ANYBODY to remake 3s just like the new batman movie won’t be as great as Dark Knight. There’s no heath ledger to die (again). 3S had it’s run and now it’s gone. I could be wrong here but I’m drawing from experience. I can’t recall any game that had a golden era that made a come back with another “golden era” like we hoped 3S would do. If I’m wrong here someone please correct me.
- The past 5 years have been filled with the same shit. The Halo series, the Call of Duty series, now the counter strike series, the SF series (with SF4, SF3OE), and countless others have tried this shit where they do some sort of “revival” tactic and it just turns into a giant pile of burning fecal matter. So how anyone is surprised 3sOE is such a let-down is beyond me.
3)Even with an unlimited budget and infinite time, it would take months/years before the game was “arcade perfect” or even “good enough” for all of you to be satisfied.
So, with that wall of text, I just wanna say, I’m not trying to bring on the flames or cause any contention here. I just wanted to throw out some perspective I see is missing from this thread.
<3
what the fuck?
4 was a huge success. the only reason you’re seeing 3sOE is because 4 was a success. i don’t know how that counts as any kind of negative for the ‘revival’ tactic. some people don’t like it, that’s really not an issue considering the overwhelming majority do.
CS:S came out more than 5 years ago. the new CS thing was announced not long ago. I dont know how you lump CS in with halo and cod but good for you I guess. if you see cs in the same light as halo and cod uhh… lol. you know theres a new tribes in beta too, i guess thats a ‘revival’.
There’s plenty of perspective in this thread. some people were optimistic. that doesn’t mean they lack perspective. we can still be pissed that they fucked up a good opportunity.
Sorry, I should have proof-read that post. I slipped up there cuz I’m at work (call center-type) and got a call. After the call I just hit “post” and didn’t really think about it. I’ll try to not let that happen again. Anyways, some of the examples I used are rather retarded yes. SSF4AE is pretty sweet so I don’t know where the hell I was going there; however, I hate vanilla SF4. Reason(s): I only had a pad to play with and I was seriously not used to the shortcut motions. I hated how most of my combos came out retarded online. Oh, and I sucked really really bad compared to my skill now where I only kind of suck.
Anyways, yeah, the general consensus on CS:S from the hardcore, competitive fans are split similarly to the crowd in this thread. Guys like me who dig it and guys who worship v1.6 as their god and even burn sacrifices to the damn thing. I’m personally split on CS:GO and can’t decide if I’m mad excited or pessimistic to not be let down if it sucks.
Lastly, I don’t mean to come bearing answers and knowing better than anyone else. I just thought to bring up some points that weren’t really emphasized in the past 10 pages of mostly whining.
The real shame is that 3SOE killed any hype that was built up and further split the community. If you don’t have an arcade, do you play the PS2 version which has a few flaws, the DC version with even worse flaws and no unblockables, the 3SOE version that drops EX inputs and other shit, or do you stick with emulation?
It’s funny; every one of you hardcore SRK trolls on this forum bitched that a rebalance would split the community and guess what? It happened anyway.
I’ve moved on. I still love 3S but honestly if this is the best we’re going to get, the forums remain this stagnate, and people like Tebbo and co. represent the offline community then I’d rather not participate.
Louis, out of curiosity, do you consider yourself “hardcore”? In 3S, or in general?
hehehehe… this shall b good
…So, two boys find this one thread. Both have no avatars and are not at all familiar to the 3S subsection. One of which clearly just signed up to troll in this thread, and the other has signed up back in late October with the intent to troll and put to work the ebonics he learned in middle school with his wigger friends and has also posted this:
Yeah, I have a lot to prove here. I need to earn the respect of people like this…
I’m glad I didn’t download the version of 3SOE that drops EX inputs. It’s a much easier decision to make when your EX moves work fine across all versions!
I don’t see how it “split the community” anyway. People who played in arcade still play in arcade. It doesn’t matter whether you choose DC, 360, or PS2. You’re still playing with the same people. At least I am. It’s not like we have console 3S parties and all show up and are like “oh shit you brought a 360 and I brought a PS2, wtf are we going to do.”
Ummm the quote u jus posted was a means to make people see a point, of how just because something is an opinion, doesn’t mean ur opinion can avoid rebuttal or criticism. Way to fail. And also what did I do to you. All I said is “This shall be good”. I dont know what offended you about that post O.o. You’re a wierdo
I don’t think things would be so much better with Backbone Entertainment. IIRC, they were the ones who ported the DC version of MvC2 to the next gen consoles. Shitty netcode and also a laggy UI. Also, the game introduced random glitches that never occurred prior, some of which I remember being Mag’s j.lk glitch and supers becoming fast supers unblockable online but also OFFLINE, like AHVB.
Definitely though, for Derek Neal’s sake in the future, he needs to take some PR pointers from Seth Killian. Seth usually never makes promises that he can’t keep, and he doesn’t say things that could backfire or incriminate himself. Neal was probably too confident in his product since he thought was doing everything that the fans wanted, and was trying to sell that whole “a game for the fans by the fans” angle pretty hard. I don’t think he predicted that the game would turn out to be a huge lulz like it did.
Goorai, Chin, and Associates are suing Derek Neil for being a buster ass bitch
christopher nolan sucks as much as 3soe
UltraDavid will see the sign in the sky and rescue us all.
People should just go back to ggpo tbh.
Not gona happen anytime soon, considering that pc ggpo never worked well for the majority of the users.
Calm down. If 3SOE dies, it is because of its own drawbacks as they were decribed in so many posts. You can either ignore those and enjoy the game as it is or just move on.
But you cannot deny the snobbish attitude towards the release by its own loyal community. Sure it had problems, but the problem is that those who have been playing 3s for years and all this elitist ass community did was bad talk this port to Hell and it did not help how newcomers would perceive this game. This elitist ass community couldnt get over the minor gripes of the port and just try and help the game out. And yes I say minor because they were minor. So yes I blame it on the community.
I don’t know why there’s so much bitching, last I checked, this game actually sold quite well. Bitching, lag, glitches or not, money talks, and the game should be updated and patched on it’s sales numbers alone.
unless of course you’re an intelligent business person.
