Where would you like me to start? Because usually when someone complains about the game they either get nearly everything wrong or talk about things not related to gameplay and cite that as a reason the series has clearly gone downhill.
Loving how the SCIV defenders are scolding the SCIV haters for stating their opinions as fact while they do the exact same thing.
If you like SCIV, that’s fine; I certainly don’t hate the game. However you’re really making yourselves look foolish with the hypocrisy. Simply informing the haters that “hey, there are some of us who like the game, sooo… you’re an idiot” is enough, and if they persist, just ignore 'em because every single game has haters anyway.
Its obvious SCV, if it is created is going to continue the same trend of trashy gameplay and likewise throwaway asthetics and design.
All I ask for at this point is re-release of SC1 on next gen with good netplay. They’ve ruined the series, the least they can do is give us our just due with a proper online release. That’s not too much to ask for. At least I like to think so.
I generally don’t give a shit about SC4 hate fests as long as they don’t go about spreading misinformation about the game. So yeah.
Post proof. I’ll wait.
SC4 sucks. Dont throw a bitch fit. Its not “misunderstood” it just fucking sucks.
If it didnt suck there would be a scene, and there would be a Soul Calibur 5 by now. Lol. Duh.
They ruined the series when they went t-minus Hwang.
As I see it.
Your proof is this post right here.
Obviously doesn’t have a scene when it had a good showing at NEC XI, when it has international tournaments drawing people from around the world.
Obviously SCV hasn’t been announced mostly in line with the 3 year release cycle. Oh shit.
So in other words I just asked for proof and you can provide me with none. No surprise there.
I didnt post one thing about soul calibur that isnt the truth. But unlike most of you I can at least stand by what I said and give a legitimate reason as to why I feel the way I do, I dont have to reduce myself to baseless name calling and all other kinds of childish shit.
And thats reason #1994927755 why soul calibur is a lost cause. Whats left of the community is a bunch of crybaby ass bitch ass geeks. lol. Tekken Tag Tournament Summer 2011 lemme see those tears.
Very nice.
“Hey look facts staring at me in the face let’s ignore them”
Nice boost to your credibility mate.
GG
Also in an earlier thread: “One move doesnt need to be i13 frame startup, invincibility on startup, tracks, goes under high, guard crushes, soul gauge damage and +frames on block for mixup.”
There is no such move in SC4. Of course you’ll just go and say LOL THATS NOT PROOF BRO.
No reason to get fed up over a game, people, really. I mean, it’s not like anyone’s forcing you to buy it. I understand we’re in an age where everyone thinks they’re opinions are great, new, improved and all that jazz, but, yeah…
I can go with the sentiment of most people who ‘hate’ SC4 being of the bandwagon of people who…aren’t very good at the game and echo the beliefs of those before them who…weren’t very good at the game. But, really, if you’re fed up with the game because you like the series but don’t feel that SC4 met your expectations, if you’re ever in Chicago and want some games or we meet up at a tournament some place, just drop me a line. Because, honestly, in terms of options, there’s really nothing SC4 four lacks that other fighting games have if you understand the system (with the exception of the speed of it’s predecessors and things like soul charges and some of the feints and moves).
Also, this is LostProvidence, 8wayrunners. =D
Taking something that I exaggerated to give emphasis to how moves have too many properties isnt helping your case.
Fact of the matter is SC4 is trash and there no more community. Quoting me and telling me how wrong my opinion is wont get you anywhere.
Only a bunch of idiots would be so blind as to ignore whats wrong with a game that clearly has lost its following. It wasnt because someone said “lets just stop playing this great fighting masterpiece!”
Its because way better games came out a few months later and Soul Calibur 4 was exposed for what it was. A piece of crap. Not the worst fighting game ever made, but a piece of crap for 2008 and definitely a piece of crap compared to the 3 titles before it.
But I expect you to claim I dont know what im talking about and all other bullshit. Back when I played the game I used to roast both of you under my other PSN account. But thats neither here nor there, I’ll let you continue to think I dont know what Im talking about. I couldnt have a clue about what im talking about, I’m only a moderator on 8wayRun. lol.
Fuck soul calibur and fuck you two morons.
Quoting for posterity. Because online matters in a game with bad netcode.
Damn…fighting games are some bad shit. Would talk about how SC4’s online is horrible and how being a moderator on 8wayrun doesn’t reflect one’s actual understanding of the games, but yeah, Internet spat are rarely subject to logic and reason.
Well let me put it to you like this, the topics that I contributed to Zasalamel’s forum on 8way run 2 years ago are still on the first page of his forum.
Since nobody plays OFFLINE, I dont see how its a far stretch to talk about online play. And once again, 2 years ago it was much better than what it is now BECAUSE NOBODY PLAYS THE GAME.
I’m not about to sit here and go back n fourth about a game that nobody cares about except the people who still play it, alone. Happy holidays and god bless.
Yeah, it’s rather pointless (as is a guessing game, though I have an idea of who you are and think this is pretty funny, if I’m right. ). Do what you do and be happy. Later.
Too bad I don’t have a PS3 mate (Nor have I ever), and Farp lives in SINGAPORE. Keep wallowing in that bitter senseless hate.
Just this.
SCIV isn’t bad. A couple of patches and fixes would make the game even better competitively.
What killed the game, however, was the immature whiny community.
ie; banning Necrid “'cause he doesn’t fits”, while X was much worse and broken than him. Same with Vader and Yoda even after both were avaliable via DLC.
And of course, Hilde - she’s annoying, yes - but beatable. People would rather complain than work around the problem, though.
I liked CAS and wished ppl were a little more open to being competitive with it. I also thought the single player modes were pretty dope. Overall, the SC console versions were pretty much the most ‘worth it’ with regard to extra content. If other games offered what SC games had, people would be soooo thankful.
If Namco is willing to patch game-breaking issues at least once or twice, it will be good.
@Brennan: Vader was allowed after he was made available for both consoles. Yoda was only banned for Nats, but from what I understand that decision was made solely by DancingFighterG on a whim. Same with Necrid and WCMaxi (Although he was also console only, for what that’s worth).
@GalzPanic: The problem is that CAS characters introduce hitbox issues which are very difficult to quantify (i.e. they’re dependent on physique, gender, and moveset). Also it’s silly and impractical to try and make one during/right before a tourney.
