Joystiq review for the game… got up to here
…
The fuck? 
- When did the FGC become an organization
- Lol what?
D, R1, U, L1, Sq X Seems to be it on ps3 for those that haven’t checked the pallet thread
The joystiq review of the game is the biggest pile of shit I’ve EVER seen from them, and they’re usually pretty fucking classy in comparison to destructoid and kotaku. The comments are awesome though, they’re ripping the guy a new one.
That review felt more like a sermon anyway.
I wonder when the gaming journalists will stop trying to paint the FGC as being so evil. Did they learn nothing from the years of shit Jack Thompson and other like-minded people gave gamers as a whole?
Could some pastebin the joystiq review? I want to read it but don’t want to give them more hits.
Seriously don’t even bother.
That bad huh? I saw the bit Jebailey posted, it was pretty disgusting, I just want to know how offended I’m meant to be.
Spoilers:
Really
Fucking
Offended
it works. thanks
I read the review. It’s hilarious.
I would trade nothing in this game initial for a movelist, training mode dummy settings, etc. if I had to choose. Mike_Z made all the right decisions on what to include first imo tbh.
Okay so I went and read the review… complaining about having to manually set the GGPO timing… really? I mean, REALLY? How in the flying fuck is this a bad thing? Fuck this website.
Yeah, that was a very deliberate decision, because most fight game people want to use 0 in order to have more accurate timing.
It is a legitimate criticism for everyone else, though, so I have requested an “Auto” setting for people that don’t want to mess with that.
Well, here’s the thing though… they would complain that they also have to set it to Auto… or if Auto is on by default that you need to set it to manual.
The problem here is that if people don’t read or go to menus, NO amount of options you add will actually help anyone. I understand that people just want to pick up and play their games without having to mess with stuff but sometimes you just need to manually change stuff. Fighting games are a different beast altogether with timings and such and the genre has come such a long way in terms of popularity yet the industry in general seems to not “get” why things in fighting games are the way they are. It really, really upsets me that a really damn good feature is painted in a negative matter.
To you and the rest of the team. You guys did a fantastic job and don’t let poorly written reviews like these get to you even for a second.
It was good to see most people calling out the review in general for being bad though, that was a nice surprise.
OMG, that would be so godlike.

For use against the naysayers. Apologies if its been posted already
I find that a depressing number of journalists who choose to cover gaming seem to covertly sympathize with either Jack Thompson’s or Roger Ebert’s opinions on the subject.
I just read the Joystiq review myself and it was absolutely awful. I’m not familiar with how that site operates as I don’t frequent it but whoever wrote that review complained about the stupidest shit. I should have ragequit the review when he criticized the character’s moves.
Man, for some reason people keep disconnecting in ranked when I join/they join their/my room :/.
I want to play >_<.
