Yunno what dumbfounds me?
That 09ers complain about the gimmicky additions to Ultra.
Like red focus, Double ultra, and delayed wake up introductions to the gameplay.
lol, why?
Why complain?
What? Coz they’re obviously gimmicky?
So?
So now you are starting to notice things are aren’t well thought out at Capcom HQ? That things are amiss? That the devs for SF4 don’t know what they’re doing.
Now you notice bro?
You know what a construction manager is bro?
He’s the guy in charge of building construction.
You know what he’ll say if he sees that the groundwork/foundation for a building wasn’t done right?
he’ll say "tear it all down…and let’s start over from the beginning."
Coz he knows if the foundation, the groundwork is fucked up no matter what amount of patching is done, nothing will make that building safe. None.
Better to tear everything down and start over, than to try an endless amount of patching and fixes that will never ever make it solidly constructed.
well.
That’s the complete opposite of what happened with SF4.
Vanilla SF4 was a 100% shittily made game. Tons of design, technical, and conceptual flaws.
Retards made that game.
Then they patched it,…called it Super. Then repatched it called AE, then another stitching and called 2012.
But its all trash man. You can’t fix something that’s inherently broken at its core.
Now this new patch called Ultra, is just more mud on mud.
Coz its all mud.
Coz when you add too many colors to the palette you end up with mud.
Its only now you see the trashiness of the game coz the mountain of garbage added onto it is so high that even the blind eyes of 09ers(blind from inexperience)can’t help but see.
Now you 09ers are starting to see whats been there all along bro.
Garbage. just a big pile of dookie.
Its just sad it took you this long to see what was there all this time.
Now you begin to see that this heap of garbage that is so high…that its only a matter of time before it all topples over and buries you all.
It’ll topple over coz it has no solid foundation to keep it propped up for much longer. There’s a limit to how many times you can patch a dirty rag bro.
And Ultra is its limit.
KoF isn’t like SF.
KOF isn’t about multiple reiterations of the same game. Or variations of the same theme.
Each game stands alone.
But god fucking help me if each new KoF game is worse than its predecessors.
Each game strays farther and farther away from the core game mechanics that once made KOF so good.
KoF XIII is unrecognizable to 98, the best KOF game even to this very day.
And that’s a bad thing.
See, there are people who have a passion, a real passion to produce their baby. Their love child. Their joy, their wonder, their project, their game.
And those same people sometimes are lucky funding-wise to make their game.
And most of the time it turns out bad. But sometimes its good.
When its good, it gets popular.
But those people, those same developers leave their creation. For whatever the reasons may be, but they leave. And when those visionary people leave, new blood take their place. But those people aren’t the game’s creators so they don’t truly grasp the essence of the game. What makes it good. So they lose sight of what made the game popular to begin with. Then they start adding their own misguided inexperienced naive herp derp gimmicky bullshit and you end with an ever increasingly bad series that only gets worse with every higher numerical value tacked on to its title.
I guess its something unavoidable.
all I know is.
I’d rather play SF2 than SF4…and with good reasons and not bad ones.
And I’d rather play 98 than 13 an day of the week for the same reasons.
If you enjoy playing 4 and 13 then I don’t know what to tell you other than rethink your views on those games.
It may shine like gold to you,
but it shines like fool’s gold to me.
I know gold…and that’s no gold my friend. its not even copper, let alone silver.
