Swear to god niggas just can’t have fun with something
WEEEEEELP. Can’t say they’re wrong but fuck.
Spoiler
Fun is a buzzword
You can say that about a lot of fighting games though… But that’s why you make hug pillows and drama CDs, not actual games.
The exclusion ENTIRELY of versus content is what’s f’ed up.
Okay, just put in a basic vs. mode. Nothing special, just one guy vs. the other. But to not include that whatsoever? Why?
Soul Calibur V already had really stable netcode. Is it that hard to code it back into this?
Can anyone translate these?
I can assume those are elements and its doing the whole water beats fire, fire beats grass thing.
Someone please say no shit sherlock.
So yeah elemental weapons and maybe gear with resistances.
they’re only marketing it as single player to gain support for their vs customization ideas, let it fool you
DEV: completely understand, but im pretty sure there’s sc2HD coming out and the inevitable scVI so why not? 
Not surprised seeing how the majority of people on other places not dedicated to FG’s they complained of the lack of single player content like story and shit.
What it worries me is that could mean that SC as a fighting game could end being relegated or simply non existant due how shitty is the SC fanbase
So…Is it supposed to be like SC2’s Weapon Master mode? Or something entirely different there?
That doesn’t make the fanbase shitty
What I’m interested to know is how they are going to remedy anti-AI methods? Every FG AI has some move that it can’t handle but here it’s gonna be the whole game if you can find one…
More probable by forcing the player to use some type of elemental power or equipement, or maybe they will add rpg elements and will force you to grind for levels to be able to defeat an enemy
It would be interesting to see a diablo type game with the added option of being able to go through the game with skill instead of gear. Kinda like doing those lvl 1 runs in dark souls.
Namco: Soul Calibur players aren’t as interested in playing against each other as Tekken fans, that’s why Lost Swords is single player
According to their research fans prefer playing alone? I will check 8wayrun to see reactions.
I wonder if there is some validity to this statement. I would love to see the data that helped Namco make this decision.
They probably did the survey oh anime forums like Hongfire 
Yeah people that play fighting games don’t like to play against each other.
Makes fucking perfect sense.
Just because Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur have nice single player elements to keep the casuals going, doesn’t mean people don’t wanna play each other.
For me the process is:
- Buy game
- Pick favorite character and play through single player
- Try to keep playing sp until almost all shit is unlocked
- Can’t even finish point 3 cuz I get fucking bored
- Go online
- Get bodied
- Decide if game is fun enough to learn
- Go to SRK and ask stupid questions or say fuck this game and shelve it
Wouldn’t play that game, since if I wanted a good beat 'em up with loot and shit, I would not have fucking looked for a Soul Calibur game, but for some Metroidvania stuff/Tales of Mystara/Dragon’s Crown.
You know that technically ever since Soul Calibur 4 they can be getting technical data of how much time players put into each mode… And I’m sure they do.
Wouldn’t be surprised. There seems to be a large non-competitive base even on 8WR.
