KOF XII already lost to a 10-year old game

[m121akuma]

Yeah but if all the game media or “journalists” forced fed "play KOF XII wow KOF XII we love KOF wow wow wow yay yay yay " like they did with SF IV or any other faggot ass mainstream game then there would be more players/exposure.

People are just slaves to what others will tell them to think/do.

To be fair, KoF got “Best Fighting Game” at E3 from just about every major media outlet, as well as a fair bit of coverage. Not at the level of SF4, but more than KoF usually gets. On the other hand, BB got about equal coverage to KoF before its launch, if not less, and it seems to be doing really well.

My friend in Japan is saying that his local arcade in osaka is doing well with KOFXII. It might not catch on here in north america, but look how sf3:3s was… never caught on, and was such a great game that deserved attention… Hopefully the fixing of the netcode will bring more fighting game fans in for KOF. i know i am having a blast playing it.

Brah, that story was pretty cool.

But in seriousness, its different strokes for different folks. I will probably buy neither game cus Im not a fan.

MVC2 has it’s fair share of bugs and glitches in its latest iteration though. And these are things that can actually be measured and verified since people have been playing the game literally for 10 years. I don’t think it’s merely just the internet, there’s more to it than that.

Let me propose then that people are unwilling to learn a new game or are uncomfortable doing so because they’ve spent so much time on another. Yes, KOF12 has its problems. Yes, it’s next to impossible to play online. But for those who keep saying “Oh mvc2 is the best”, and are willing to overlook the obviously glaring issues the game has, really makes me wonder how much kof they were playing back then when mvc2 was new, for example.

Like most things, people like familiarity, which seems to be no different with their games. I’m willing to say that if they feel like a game plays weird, or if they aren’t used to how the mechanics work (which kof games have always had different mechanics from the typical sf or versus series of games), it’s easy to understand how quickly they’ll discredit a new game just because they aren’t willing to give it an honest chance.

People need a reason to give it a chance. That starts with having sufficient single player content to justify a full price tag. It continues with online community support from a functioning netcode. If the gameplay is fun, has depth, and there’s plenty of people playing it online, sales will follow. Lack of hardcore support can be solved by putting in development time to fix the problems with the gameplay that currently turn them off (currently, too limited moveset and lacking characters being high on the list there).

If you take Blazblue by comparison, the hype for that game was similar or even lesser to the hype KoF had in the months prior to release. 2D fighting is in a resurgence and casuals are ready and willing to climb on board off the success of SFIV. With plenty of content and a great netcode, BB is selling very well indeed regardless that it has zero familiar characters on roster, and plays a little bit differently than GG did.

i’m like ryo when he dies “damn it!!”

Back in my old days KOF had no online play. It had arcade, versus, and practice and thats the way it was and we liked it!
