Yet another idiot comparing a finalized version of a game that was developed over the course of almost a decade to a game only a month into its infancy.
This is what happens when most new players first SF game was SF4. No one here remembers SF2 WW or SF3 New Generation. Nope, they never happened!! Shit they barely remember SF4. lol
…I have already countered your list of glaring flaws that have nothing to do with actually playing the game twice now. Amazingly I did it in between SFV online matches that I was playing on random connections without any input delay.
I don’t know why I’m bothering with this, other then boredom.
These are your only prior posts in this thread, at no point have you given any counter to the following flaws:
-Lack of a countermeasure to attempt to dissuade rage quitters, a feature that has been a staple in online console gaming for 15 years, longer for PC’s. SF4 had this at launch.
-Why players’ names randomly don’t appear during a match. SF4 didn’t have this problem.
-Why after 5 online betas, the servers had to be shut down so Capcom could make them into the playable state they are now. SF4 didn’t have a single beta, yet the servers were playable day one.
-Why it takes longer on SFV to find matches online, despite the crossplay providing a larger player pool. Didn’t take but a few seconds to find a match, ranked or casual, on SF4.
-Why personal stats in SFV, a month after launch, still aren’t being tracked in the fighter profile. SF4’s stats were tracked day one.
-Why SFV doesn’t have some sort of quick “add player” to my rival/friends/fight list built in to CFN. SF4 had these features across all 3 platforms.
-Why SFV doesn’t have some sort of communication built in to CFN, either voice chat or text based. PC players have a keyboard hooked up at all times, PS4 players can not only find a USB keyboard for a dollar, but could also use the built-in-to-the-PS4 keyboard at minimum. SF4 had these features across all 3 platforms.
-Why, in 2016, SFV only has 2 player battle lounges. …actually, I think SF4 at launch did in fact have only 2 player lobbies. Welp, this one’s a wash I suppose.
-Why player names get swapped, rarely, after a match. Not an issue on SF4.
-There are others…
Not every game released with online play has such flaws, so don’t even try that one.
At no time have I stated SF4 was the better game. At no point have I stated SF4 had better visuals, audio, or anything else. The only thing I have stated is that SF4, out of the gate, had a better online experience, overall not just one aspect of it, then SFV.
At no point have you, either of you, acknowledged or attempted to counter the flaws that SFV has with online play one month into the games life. I didn’t make up any of those flaws, they are there plain as day and have been mentioned by several people. On SRK, on Reddit, at the arcades, at local meetups.
These flaws exist. Period. And it is these flaws that drop SFV, at this moment in time, below SF4 only in terms of the online experience.
I have also stated that I expect Capcom to fix every single one of them at some point in the coming months. I have also stated that when that time comes, I will GLADLY state that SFV’s online experience is flatly better then SF4.
Which means, when Capcom does indeed fix the issues with online play, I will retract my statements and 100% agree with both of you that SFV’s online experience, again OVERALL, is superior.
P.S.- I am not impressed you posted your comments between SFV matches. Every single post of mine in the last month have been done between matches. My posts have far more thought put into them then “you troll”.
So basically three types of players exist (prepared with DLC over-exaggeration):
A:
[list]
[] Think SFV feels perfect because inputs register when we want it… but we don’t know what placebo effect is. Who cares about what “really” happened on screen?
[] Thinks SFIV online players are masochists that love having their hands at the speed of a snail attempting to lift weights.
[/list]
B:
[list]
[] Think SFIV feels perfect because we’ve been living underwater for the rest of our lives… but hey it’s cool, we can picture what’s going on with the match right?
[] Thinks SFV online players are players that likes glitch-fest games that are incomplete, or filled with players that hacks the game’s state of the match.
[/list]
C:
[list]
[*] Plays the game online… goes right back into the previous game or even another game genre.
[/list]
Edit: or how about they just add an optional delay setting??
IMO, as long as you can play people with a decent amount of consistency online with rollback netcode and the game doesn’t crash or has performance issues, that’s about all that’s needed for a fighting game to be a sufficient product. What determines weather the game is “good” or “bad” is the moment to moment gameplay. Mortal Kombat: Deception has more content than USFIV, does that make it the better game?
Like seriously, SFV could launch into a black screen with a comic-sans menu consisting of online, local vs, and training mode and I’d be completely content. Where it counts is mechanics first, netcode second, playerbase third, then in-game graphics and sound design. Out of most of those things, SFV dominates SFIV.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather play (and did play for most of SFIVs lifespan) strait up arcade versions of ST and 3s on GGPO over SFIV. So why the hell would I care about extra content and features when determining weather SFV is better than SFIV?
Street Fighter V has zero flaws, at all. There was no server problems at launch that caused Capcom to shut them down. More then once. Nope, all the hundreds of thousands of players needs their internet to “git gud”. There is no rage quitting epidemic, the ranking system is flawless. Doesn’t matter if every other online game for nearly 2 decades has placed a countermeasure to dissuade quitters. Capcom decided that SFV didn’t need one, and they are always right, because fucking duh, they make Street Fighter.
There is no issue with player names being swapped or outright missing, people are just drinking dat Hatorade. The canned communication options Street Fighter has, isn’t actually canned. They simply tell you all you need to fully communicate with other players. Who the fuck wants to talk strategy and matchups, anyways. This is Street Fighter V. If it’s not in the game right now, it’s frivolous garbage.
Who the fuck wants more then 2 people in a lobby anyways. Who the fuck in the FGC wants to socialize with other Street Fighter V players. I sure as shit don’t. Fuck you and your more then 2 people lobbies, this is Street Fighter V and Capcom. They are perfect. Fuck you trolls if you disagree.
Who the fuck wants to keep track of stats in a fighting game? Street Fighter V don’t, and neither does Capcom.
Who the fuck wants to add people to their fight lists in Capcom Fighter Network profiles for quick matches. Capcom didn’t put it in the game, so get bent if you think it needs to be there.
Who the fuck wants to have a bunch of silly colors anyways. Those archaic past Street Fighter games where you got multiple colors per costume just by pushing a different button were so stupid. You want to change colors? Git gud in Survival, or STFU, noob. It’s brilliant game design.
This is Street Fighter V, and we should all be grateful we’ve been blessed by the best game company ever to even be allowed to view it, let alone play it.
This is Street Fighter V, from the gods at Capcom. Gods are perfect, as is everything about Street Fighter V.
If you disagree with anything, your a fucking troll and a whiner. GTFO noob.
Your the one being the troll here. @LoneWolf80 is clearly judging the online suite as a whole. In that respect SF4 at launch offered a better online experience. We got rollback but that doesn’t make up for awful load times before and after matches, doesn’t make up for the lack of voice chat and text being made up of canned phrases, stat tracking not working, and all the other things he mentioned. You taking the one thing the game does right and burying your head in the sand when it comes to everything else. Your being spoon-fed shit and pretending it’s ice cream.
