And making it infinitely shittier.
Also, the idea that a genre needs to be supplanted to appeal to people who never really understood it/gave it a chance to begin with is utterly idiotic.
Next let’s do away with books because they’re hard and not enough like twitter.
No need to force change on things other people already enjoy, just because you can’t appreciate them.
As other people have mentioned there are options for everyone out there.
The Overwatch competitive scene has been more-or-less dead on arrival, right? I understand Blizzard is still funding events for it, but they do that for all of their games. Correct me if I’m wrong, I genuinely have no clue, I’ve just seen zero hype for competitive Overwatch.
No Overwatch has a very healthy competetive scene.
In the arcades in the early 90z i could not do a shoryuken to save my life but instead learned charge chars and later helped when sf2 was released on snes (pads)…i think new games are over littered with subsystems on top of subsystems…that deter most new players.
Also i own a shit load of real guns so fps are real boring to me…plus cod has flying lol
Go buy you a decent Assault rifles and some hand guns…you be way over your cod fetish
P.s new gen get blown up once on online they give up after a bad day… Had kof 14 dl since day one finally got to play i was destroyed online.but i enjoyed it. Cod fps overwatch instant even if you suck get a kill…fighting games day 1 hardcores leave noobs bleeding online …broken hearted.
This is completely off putting not to mention wrong. For the longest time there was no genre with more anticipated games that 1 vs 1 fighters. Buy a damned clue.
COD isn’t a gun simulator though. You don’t get the same thing out of COD that you get out of shooting a gun. I don’t think many people buy COD because of the guns.
That’s not necessarily the case if a fighter has a lot of people buying it to play online. If you have enough low to intermediate skill players online, then they can play each other. SFV could have done this right with the matchmaking system, but they released the game in an unfinished state with a shitty netcode and unreliable matchmaking, and that drove a lot of people away. KI might have been able to do that as well, but it was an Xbone exclusive for years, which seriously limited the player base. MKX could have done it, but the online experience was just garbage at release. I don’t think games like KOF and GG have the kind of mass appeal that those games have.
There was a time when I could get a soda for a nickel, and we had to walk 6 miles to and from school.
Cool you should invest in time travel. What that post indicated is that fighting games only had two good years of success. You would have been in diapers at that time to think this or just really enjoy being a contrarian.
You should invest in a pair of nuts.
no one (casuals) plays fighting games because fighting games are too easy.
Worrying about another guy’s equipment? There are other websites for that please go frequent them dipshit.
I have the biggest solution most “hardcore” players would rejoice in.
Just take the exact same game mechanics of MvC2, keep it silky smooth, none of the clunky “modern” sf4/capcom vs tatsunomo crappy feel.
Just add some new characters, and insert the new infinity gem stone feature.
Seriously though, who else would love to see this, MvC2.5 which ppl thought mvc3 would be (as shown back in April fools joke in early 2003)?
Fighting games will never die.
^ Random as fuck.
But on topic, fighting games may or may not die. There was a good period between 2002-09 that if you werent super into FG’s you’d have thought they died.
Unfortunately SF4 is what brought any notoriety back. And IMO Capcom is the mainstay. To me, those facts add up to make things not that enjoyable anymore. I didn’t like the direction of those games, and am planning not to buy MVCI. And since I don’t play (new) Capcom games, my competition is going to be very limited. So like most of last gen, FG’s arent going to matter to me. If it werent for the past time, I’d not play at all, or even be here. Sure you can play other FG’s but really depending on your taste, you’re gonna get nothing out of it. I used to buy random FG’s if they played nicely- learn combos, for what? Theory fight - for what? If nobody’s playing it, its for naught.
I’m not playing FG at all between when MVCI comes until DBFZ does.
Way to resurrect a 4 month old thread.
What? No? RTS?
Not SF4 but MVC3/UMVC3.
Gill confirmed
