Been suppoting and enjoying SNK fighting games since 1990 and KOF since 1994…
You should go to the Ignition boards and tell the people who boycotted KOFXII there because of the netcode problems to not do th same now. At least tell them to wait 3 months before bashing the game if the netcode is bad again.
There, and in other sites like gamefaqs boards fanboys were bashing the game with less than a month of the release of the game, and posting arrogant things like “don’t give them any money, this game doesn’t deserve to be bought” or “don’t buy the game until the netcode is fixed” and my favorite fanboy cry… “NO MAI NO BUY”…“NO MAI NO BUY”…“NO MAI NO BUY!!!”.
now that they moved this thread here it became useless. This is a strategy thread, this post wont do any good here. This Post was meant to increase the interest in the fighting game genre by supporting other fighting games; now that its here no use of it really. thanks for the “support”.
Thread was useless to begin with; I don’t get why you don’t understand that.
Takes more than a “I like this game, please play it” thread to get people interested. You are really ignorant in a way…if it was this easy don’t you think we would have been done this shit already?
*Just IMO
This Should be in Fighting Game Discussion so it can reach out to more people in the fighting community to attract more players to KOF not just talk to the one’s who are already interested.
There is Numerous threads in FGD about other fighting games that have there own Individual one just like kof. But is trying to make a statement to the fighting Community in general.
There are so many people in the fighting game community ( Or just SRK no diss) who neglect KOF for meaningless reasons its ridiculous.:shake:
On topic of KOF threads being secluded to the strategy section, I always thought it was pretty unfair to stuff all KOF/SNK discussion to a section most people will not click on thus taking away what little ‘‘promotion’’ or word of mouth KOF/SNK games could potentially recieve from the average SRK visitor.
For many, the ‘‘banishment’’ to the strategy section confirmed the bias against SNK.
Claiming to keep things accurate, well its definitely not accurate to stuff general and all other discussion about a game in the strategy section.
KOF XIII won’t get more players if people from other communities don’t play it. So yeah, confining threads like these to the KOF forum won’t do any good.
so have i, but saying kof 12 wasnt utter crap is juts pushing it. its not as bad as some of those terrible fighters from the early 90’s, but its still bad for a fighting game that has evolved all the way from 94 (earlier even if you count in their experiences with ff and aof).
This Post was originally posted in the fighting game discussion thread but unfortunately it was moved here.
Unfortunately people from other communities are not getting my main point here, i want people to support this game in order to support the genre. Other games than SFIV do not sell. If it wasnt for SFIV this genre would still be in its grave, only people who really like the genre were playing older games and they were a handful. Now that other games of the same genre are emerging or reemerging why not try them, yes KoF XII was bad but KoF XIII is the modified version of KoF XII. I dont want to see the best genre in gaming die.
No-one is arguing your intent. Sadly, one can have the best intent in the world and still not get anything productive done…like this thread.
Let me save you the trouble of lamenting over your useless thread and it being in FGD: Let’s say it was left there. People (who otherwise have never looked at KOF in their lives or even been seen posting in this subforum, let alone play) will pop in the thread, say “Awesome, yeah I’ve always loved KOF. Can’t wait till it released! Count me in”! etc, etc. Fast forward to the game being available for these people.
…The vast majority will still be playing SSF4. “[insert excuse here]” Hell most will even forget that they even popped in your little thread. You know how I know? Because its happened time and time and time again everytime someone makes a thread like this. The most recent I can recall is VF5. Like I was talking with Slide and some people at VFDC; when vanilla was getting released everyone on SRK was so hyped. Game comes out. What happened to all these people? All talk, that’s what. Just like this thread.
And Tartarus, quit sending me fucking PMs about this. FYI, I didn’t even bother to read the last one you sent, as soon as I saw you as the sender, I sent it to my garbage folder. When I said I wasn’t going to respond or read, that’s what I meant.
…And what makes you think a thread saying “Play my game” would change that?
Thanks Tech Romancer for your honesty, i see your point; well atleast i tried and there is nothing wrong with trying (even though, probably it was useless). Thanks for the guys who tried to support me in this.
I do hope people will support KOF XIII when (if?) it comes out on consoles because it’s an amazing game. Just do what you can to start a scene - invite people over to play [offline], hold small tournaments, etc.
I’m definitely interested in it, but there’s really no fighting game scene close enough to me. There’s a decent sized BB community, but it’s about 2 hours south of me (fine for tournaments, not so much for offline casuals), and I don’t think any of them are interested in KoF. So this game will live or die for me based on it’s netcode, which isn’t comforting after KoF12.
