Is this game worth grabbing?

I’ve seen a lot of Miles923’s stuff on the game and it looks like a good bit of hectic fun… though I keep hearing about some mad balancing issues with some of the characters, so I figured I should get a more in-depth opinion from some players about the game before hunting it down.

Yes.

Mind evaluating with an opinion buddy?

its a weird thing really
Most people in here would tell you they hate the game and that its horrible.
However, these same people have been hooked since day 1 and cant stop (like me).
Its one of those good bad things you know :lovin:

Let’s have some questions first

  1. Is this your first fighter?
  2. Do you catch feelings easily?
  3. Do you want to hate Zero/Vergil for as long as you exist?
  4. Do you browse gamefaqs?
  5. Do you know you are coming into the game during it’s dying phase?

…No…

That’s the most idiotic thing to say.
If Marvel is “dying” then every single fighter in the US besides SF4 is dying.
It still hits among the highest numbers in majors and brakes over a 1000 players at EVO.

I dont know where this “dying” thing comes from. I only hear it from stream monsters and not those who actually attend events.
The game however is almost passed its discovery stage, and because of that we might see the same teams and combinations, but that doesnt mean the game is dying, a lot of games went through that phase and still lasted many years (see CVS2, 3S, MVC2, GG etc etc)

Well if you’re going to call me an idiot, I’ll pick up the initiative and call you a fucktard for assuming I meant it would die off completely. I’m just saying interest in the game is waning across the board. I use to know a ton of people that played regularly and the majority of them quit playing. They just got bored of it. And from what I’ve heard from others it’s not an isolated incident.

Waning in popularity? Sure. But dying? Isn’t that a little extreme for a game that’s still top two in popularity? The game is not even close anything that could be considered as dying.

it’s a bad game and you should play it

Semantics. Regardless, anything that starts losing steam consistently is considered to be in a dying phase. Such as a band that starts to put out shitty albums when they were once great. People are at a point where they are tired of dealing with the same damn teams/unblockables/TOD combos/infinite loops, and Marvel will drop out of top two probably by EVO2016. Something new will replace it I assure you.

Everything gets replaced eventually.

I’m just saying that claiming that the game is currently dying is just dumb.

Let’s try it this way. You’re at a party where it’s been a few hours, the beer is running out, and people are starting to leave.
“Yo this party is dying off”

Marvel is a game where all the tech/glitches have been found(debatable), it’s been around for awhile, absolutely no balance changes will happen, and people are quitting left and right.
Fill in the blank.

Again, it’s a game of semantics anyway. You’re trying to say that one word is a better adjective than it’s synonym. Not really much of an argument to be had.

Lol

This is far from my first fighter, I grew up playing the fuck out of fighting games! I just got out of the more hectic ones like this when I started college due to a lack of time. But what with my university course coming to an end this week, I’m hunting down a bunch of beat em ups so I can get back in to the genre… as opposed to just rocking DoA and Tekken XD

As for the whole dying thing, I know the game had to stop production (so I will admit, I did grab a copy online this morning for a tenner), but from what I’ve seen is still pretty popular… Especially with the likes of Miles923 doing his whole “The Return” thing with the game.

What platform did you grab it for anyway? On xbox I can show you the business end of a point Felicia

The good old 360! Next months purchase: A fight stick!.. Unless I get super lucky and my Insanes (my local game shop) get one in… Which isn’t too likely

Just grab a stick that has a square gate and Sanwa parts. Like a TE stick from mad catz. You cant go wrong with those. What’s your tag?

EDIT: And actually if you want until July I’m certain there will be promo codes available for deals because of EVO. 20% off and all that stuff

I have at times thought of getting this myself since Vergil is my favorite DMC character but isn’t the netcode still ass?

My opinion of it is the same as SF4 netcode. It only sucks if your personal internet is garbage tier. I’ve never had a problem with either online. If I can do 1 frame shit online, so can you.
