Things are much better today though. In the days of Third Strike I did not even know Guilty Gear existed, till I saw an actual arcade cab…
Yep, barely anyone online playing the new game not even a week into its release, but its super popular guys.
lol sure whatever.
It has tons of people online during peak hours. It also has a Sunday spot at Evo (ahead of MKX, Melee, etc). Furthermore, with myriad people fed up with SF5 I expect the scene will only grow in the coming months
I don’t know how to approach this matchup.
The stupid just might be too strong.
Man, you are stupid.
And for the record, they already tried this with BBCS to BBCSII, the player base made it clear that they didn’t want that, for better or worse.
Now, i can agree that their way to release their games could be more optimal, like what capcom did with SF4, releasing the game on disc and as an update.
PS
you are an idiot.
IGN and Gamespot STILL have not done a review yet. Xrd Sign didn’t have this problem.
There was a major shipping issue on Tuesday. Most stores will have it in today.
I like how some people around here are like “Those extra $60 are TOOOOOTALLY worth it cuz the game is awesome and shit!” and yet they turn around and criticize Capcom for doing the exact same thing but instead say “Hurr durr SF is a piece of shit anyway”
Still not paying $60 for a glorified patch.
You have to blind and an idiot to think that Revelator is a glorified patch though.
If you paid attention to what people are saying, no one is saying ASW is the god for charging $60 and Capcom is shit for charging $60. ASW made a huge game with tons of content and the game itself is really great and they justify that price tag where as Capcom sold a game for the same price with a third of the content. Talk shit about ASW’s revision policy all you want, but one of those $60 gets you way more shit than the other one, which leads people to feel, and justifiably so, that Capcom is ripping them off. Out of any full price triple A fighting game release, SFV is the most barebones on the market by a HUGE margin. Every other game has way more characters and stages and content.
Even the demo of Revelator had more content than the retail SFV.
And let’s not forget that USA =/= The World.
Judging a certain fighter’s popularity based off of one continent/region is foolish & stupid.
I’d also wager that Japan doesn’t typically play online because arcades exist.
Guilty Gear is the best anime fighter out there but it doesn’t have the history and prestige Street Fighter has.
Street Fighter shit the bed several times already and people still come back to play it. Some people just want to play Ryu and there’s nothing you can really do about it.
Besides, Guilty Gear is REALLY technical. Even though Xrd made it way easier to do the technical shit in the game, most people who can play SF aren’t going to be able to pull off the stuff in GG unless they practice a lot more. Even then I STILL don’t think most SF players will be able to play Xrd.
So yeah, I’m fine knowing I’m playing the best fighting game out there. But I ain’t gonna be mad other people stick to shitty SFV. People like different stuff.
Just FYI, “lol you poor?” is a shit argument for something. If I charged you 20 bucks for a regular cup of coffee, you’d probably laugh in my face regardless of how much money you had. Which is taking the argument to a ludicrous extreme, I know, but the general point still stands. It’s less about what the customer can actually afford, and more about the customer’s perception of what something is worth. No matter the amount of content, it’s obvious some people perceive Revelator to be a not-quite-full game, or an expansion, or whatever you want to call it, that they charge full price for (with the addendum of “if you already have Sign”). Whether they’re right or wrong is irrelevant, because the perception is there. That was my point. I’ve seen people complain about Continuum Shift Extend and Ultimax, both solid games, simply because they feel cheated when their game becomes outdated so shortly after release.
I want to see ArcSys do well, because they’re releasing really good games, but at the same time I won’t shy away from criticizing their dated business model. Particularly when it comes to their DLC releases, because fuck that shit.
I really am surprised they released it as a full-price game. Sorta shit when it’s just a patch for SIGN.
5 characters, new mechanics, better graphics, better netcode, new story, a better lobby and player room than the already previous good lobby, an even better trial and tutorial than the previous one that’s already up there as one of the best in fighting games.
Not very surprised it’s a full price game seeing how the last version came out over a yer and a half ago. -Sign- came out December 2014, Revelator came out June 2016.
It’s not like there’s a new version you need to buy every 6 months. Plus ASW isn’t a big company that can survive on a $19 patch every year and a half.
Except they’d be selling a hell of a lot more $19 patches than they would $60 discs when it comes to pre-existing sign owners.
To use myself as an example, I bought xrd at launch for ps3, and got it for steam when it was on sale. The latest version of blazblue I own is CSE. If ASW priced revisions at like ~$20, I would have purchased revelator already and every blazblue update as they were released. As is, I have no plans to touch any of them. I quite like the games, but I know I won’t put enough time to justify the cost. Most sign owners I know personally are in the same boat.
Even after the inevitable price drops, they aren’t appealing purchases because you have even less time with the game before your version is obsoleted, and fewer people to play against online as you move later in the update cycle.
Bro these company’s aren’t fucking stupid. If they projected they would make more money selling $20 dlc rather than a $60 new game then they would do it. I’m sure somebody crunched the numbers and projected they would make more going with the $60 route
