Bottom line SFV needs work. Guilty Gear XRD plays wonderfully but does not have as many fans… KOF is being pushed hard and you can tell is a labor of love for the fans. Other then this I see no conspiracy… except when KOF 13 was the bigger game at evo 2012 or 2013 and was never seen again after that… hmmmmm poor SF4 me thinks.
Swede mad that Street Fighter 5 news get the most traffic in a site named shoryuken.
#KeepLeffemInSweden
maybe if people who played anime games actually went to srk instead of dustloop there would be more articles and more content posted on srk for them
idk just a thought
i mean, shit, the names of the sites are shoryuken and dustloop, where the fuck do you think people go to for guilty gear news
While we’re conspiracy theorizing, who else thinks it’s the Opus Dei, the Snake People(or sneople), the French Foreign Legion, the CIA and the ASPCA is keeping us from Buriki Two and Mark of the Wolves 2?
haunts is literally paying srk front page writers to hide the existence of guilty gear to the capcom audience what a dreadful man
Leffe ain’t no true Swede. No self respecting viking would accept that smash is a fighting game, we all now that anime dashers is where it’s at.
Capcom doesn’t have to hide it.
It’s so many people that don’t want to learn all that extra anime stuff that GG has to offer to even be bare minimal when you can just learn to shimmy into MP > CA for wins.
What’s “amazing” to me is people defending non-Capcom companies for doing exactly what they’ve criticized Capcom for doing over 22 years.
In fact, part of what caused Capcom to adopt SF5’s marketing approach was people whining about full price paid updates that fracture the player base, and for people to keep buying new versions.
“Hurt Hurr, Imma wait until dey release Ultra, Super, Omega Street Fighter 5 before I buy it!” - random internet dumbass
Meanwhile, on the DL, ArcSys has been doing the EXACT SAME THING for a decade, and they get praised for it.
That “barebones” SF5 disc you bought for a one time $60 will continue to increase in value year after year. Can you say the same about your Revelator disc right now? Lol, are you even sure Revelator will be the last disc you have to buy? Next year are we going to hear about GGXrd: [insert cool sounding Engrish mishmash] coming soon to Japanese arcades? Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter in ArcSys fandom!
blazblue is as bad as sf4.
Those breasts look like them fake ballon titties.
Thus the reason I haven’t touched BlazBlue since Continuum Shift. Have no plans to either. Everyone hyped for Central Fiction when you know ArcSys will have Central Fiction II EXTEND (Your wallet to us) within a month or two after the console release of Central Fiction.
lets let this die. its not discussion worth having. Even if SRk is website dedicated to fighting gaming, its up to the owner what they do. If dont appreciate their content then why are you on their forum?
This is no conspiracy. Reavaltor been out for how long? three days us wise but the game been available via preorder for a minute so their minimal need to reference the “Official” release, especially if other website have already mention its officially release.
I have my own conspiracy as to why SRk run the way it does but pointing it out wont do a thing and I still have use for it so why even the need to bring it up?
they might release a totally new BB after CF hopefully similar to gg ac to XRD. Feels like there has been a ton of games from that series.
And SRK has now way to influence that or has no desire to change that?
Don’t take the question as a slight; 'just genuinely curious. You all are satisfied with your front page’s coverage statistics as they are?
As much as we’ve been doing to push content for other games (heck, we even have Lord Knight on our staff), we can only do so much to influence what our readers want to read.
LMAO
You know who is to blame to that?
The usa fandom.
They tried with CS a similar approach to what SF4 did with their updates, but all the idiots kept saying stuff, i will wait for the next revision.
.
Which is pretty stupid tbh, everyone of their revisions comes around 2 years after the release of their previous game, and in the case of BB, outside the Extend versions, every BB game has been a completely different game altogether in every aspect outside reusing the sprites.
If people here on srk of all places will start complaining about fighting games and their revisions, then i don’t know what to say other than it is the most stupid shit ever.
ASW revisions have been straight cancer since the beginning, let’s not mince words here, but even if you do want to make the argument that there will be another full priced revision to Xrd, Revelator is still like 3 times the game that SFV is and fully justifies that price point. It would have been nice had it been a cheaper DLC upgrade for Sign owners, but as is you’re getting a whole shit ton of content and upgrades and improvements. Even a year down the road when SFV is “finished” or season 1 wraps up or whatever, it still will not come close to the level of polish, quality, and content that is in Revelator.
I have so many questions and all of them begin with why?
I think the issue isn’t with the polish of the game itself, but rather the level of added polish as compared to the predecessor and the perceived difference between a retail release and a DLC upgrade pack. I get that a full new story mode with cutscenes, voice acting and whatnot is probably really goddamn expensive (particularly if it like Xrd’s story mode has a ton of assets that aren’t really used anywhere else), but at the same time I can’t help but feel this is a full-price release for what amounts to slight additions to the base game in the grand scheme of things, because let’s face it, there won’t be a huge change in the main modes I will be devoting 95% of my time to. And this isn’t me defending Capcom, they are the princes of fuck you content (xTekken and Asura’s Wrath anyone?), but at the very least Arcade Edition and Ultra were just DLC packs. Between full-price retail for what should be DLC packs (seriously, fuck BlazBlue), incomprehensible release schedules (let’s release Continuum Shift for PC even though Chronophantasma was released months before on consoles!) and draconic DLC schemes, ArcSys is a pretty shit company. A pretty shit company that makes awesome games, but still pretty shit from a consumer/business perspective.
For as much shit as people deservedly give Capcom for the botched SFV release, and as much more polished Xrd was at release, I wasn’t nearly as scared to pay 60 bucks for Street Fighter because at the end of the day I genuinely believed I wouldn’t have to pay for a new disc one year down the line, whereas I expected it with Guilty Gear. I think that between the endless BlazBlue revisions, Ultimax and whatnot, ArcSys have screwed themselves out of Revelator sales. Why should the semi-casual consumer buy it when it might be obsolete in a year again? Even if DLC ends up being just as expensive in the end, at the very least you can “fool” the consumer into paying the price piece by piece and feel like they’re adding value to the base game rather than forcing them to just replace their old game and making them feel dumb for paying full price for it.
I bought Super Street Fighter IV when it was released. That copy carried me all the way to SFV with two minor investments for AE and Ultra. I may not have liked it all that much, but if I wanted to play Street Fighter IV, that same disc was still up-to-date half a decade later. There’s something to be said for that even if the quantity and quality of content was lesser than an ArcSys game.
