Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- one of life's gilty pleasures

A statement based on WHAT facts? Meanwhile there is an entire community dedicated to modding PC games for no reason other than to troll.

Lol.

I dont even know why this is a discussion ARCSys is never going to put Xrd on PC.

Don’t dare to talk ill about nude patches :mad:

Spoiler

They are the only reason why i even bother with SSF4 and SFxT on PC :coffee:

So you’re just going to disregard the wast amount of legit mods/tools/skins that’s out there and cherry pick a few “bad” examples like those two? Optional content created by fans for a game is not going to affect it negatively what so ever, more likely the other way around. Just look at games like the elder scrolls games and wc3 which are still played today and for a big part because of mods and other custom content.

Edit: @yahyah

SFIV Remix is best SFIV.

I think this is the 3rd pointless argument ya ya bitch has started in a week

What I can’t deal with is people making unsubstantiated claims and do not provide adequate evidence to support them. That in itself is arrogance. I do not take kindly with arrogance.

One complains about “childishness;” but the true irony lies in the juvenile rhetoric one employs. Just even:

And then with:

Does this statement infer that the console community “isn’t” plagued with hackers and pirates? Could this point even be defended or substantiated?

I pray for both of you to be more careful before communicating. Best wishes.

Yeah, like those fucking dickheads who made mango sentinel by editting MvC2 discs, right? You know only you can see your edits? If your opponent is using naked pregnant Sakura, you’d never know. But you probably know that already and just want to troll, like you do in every other topic.

This escalated quickly…

Mods are one of the best parts of PC gaming. Like someone else said, graphical mods only affect the person who install them, so if you don’t want to see naked Cammy, you never have to.

But I think the argument is based on the idea that changing someone’s artistic vision is somehow disrespectful, which is wrong on many levels. First off, take a song for example. Someone writes a rock or folk song, and the people that listen to that type of music might like it. But the people that don’t listen to rock or folk probably won’t like it, and they may not even hear it.

Now, if someone makes a good remix of that song, the audience expands. If they add rap to it, now it’s appealing to that audience, and if they make it electronic, that’s another audience, and so on. To the artist, that means more exposure for them, and possible a bridge between genres which could draw more fans that that style. The idea is that, while someone might see the remix as being “disrespectful”, it’s probably be preferred to the alternative, which is not being heard at all.

Mods can make a game appeal to a larger audience. What was a turn-off to someone at one point is no longer an issue, allowing that person to enjoy that game, rather than abandoning it for another game. Yes, some mods might be pointless, childish, or offensive, but that’s hardly a reason to dismiss the inherent value of modding.

One last thing, any naysayers should look into DayZ. Not only did that mod seriously improve the sales of Arma 2 and it’s expansion, but it also sparked interest in a “new” type of game which is currently very popular. The same can be said about many other mods, including Counterstrike, which basically helped to change the FPS forever.

Indeed

I still want to see a real fighter designed for handhelds…
Think of how cheaply it could be run at tournaments.

Countestrike was a mod Team Fortress was a mod, Lol/Dota was a mod, Hyper Fighting was partially created to outdo mods

Gotta love the modding community.

Also, how the hell can anyone hate the version of the game that runs the absolute best hands down at higher resolutions and supports as many types of controllers as you want? There is literally no downside to a PC version.

There is one downside. It makes us console folk feel insignificant to the PC master race :frowning:

The biggest issue is running PC/laptop tournaments. The time it takes to find drivers, make sure sticks/controllers work, button config, troubleshoot, transporting towers or laptops, and everything else that comes with running a PC fighting game tournament. It’s the reason why Melty died again after the latest versions weren’t PS2.

So although I do like PC editions of games to broaden the accessibility of the games to a wider audience, solely having a PC port of a fighting game minimizes the long term stability of a tournament scene in the US.

Ideally, we’d have each port for each system available, and hopefully there wouldn’t be lag or other minute issues that forces a single port to be the “standard” for tournament play. I just don’t want to see another game’s tournament scene die like Melty’s did.

There are most definitely issues in the tournament setting, not that they can’t be overcome, but it’s definitely more work than a console. But as a port of the game, it’s probably the best home version of the game you can own quality of online players aside.

This whole “consoles are more affordable” thing is a complete and total misconception. Once you have built your PC not only are you going to get a longer lifespan out of it - due to the fact that you can simply keep upgrading it - but, games for PC are already far less expensive. Not to mention sales on Steam are ridiculously good; and of course many of the most popular PC games are going to free-to-play now. Meanwhile on console the $60 pricetag is beyond antiquated and companies (including Microsoft and Sony themselves) continue to be extremely shady with the DLC/microtransaction issues going on. I’m a tried and true console gamer, but I would be lying to myself if I said it was cheaper, or a better experience overall. Also, the fact that you find modding to be a negative thing is kind of hilarious to me too. Games are entertainment, not art. That’s not say that no game has ever been art, just that it’s not the point of the medium as a whole.

I feel like were Melty released today via Steam it would have been 100x More successful. Steam really has changed the pc gaming landscape games get more of a chance than ever now. Online communities have more of a chance to thrive through the community features.

Just a pc version would be detrimental to a lot of games however there are certain games that I feel suffer as much detriment by NOT being available on PC. Games like VF5 and +R could have gotten a lot of mileage out of being available on steam.

shit, I saw a bunch of new posts in the thread and thought more loc test vids were released. Damn.
