I hope so man, I really hope so… But then I remember that they are the company that made MvC3 and SF4 (solid games, but with some terrifically bad design decisions).
But there are hundereds of gems, and they have threatened that we haven’t seen the really exciting ones yet, makes me worry.
I’m not gonna write off the game till its done, but the Gems thing, it’s a good idea executed about as badly as humanly possible.
Thing is, I get all of that, but it still sounds retarded. Plus, I don’t think you realize how stupidly good an auto block gem will be at high levels, regardless of how much meter it costs. I’m willing to play the “wait and see” game right now, but I gotta say, stuff like that is really turning me off of this game. Which is a shame, as the core game itself looks great. It’s all the superfluous mechanics that they’re cramming in their that’s putting a damper on my anticipation.
Lol so is pre ordering and paying for exclusive gems, “bro”.
I don’t understand where this line of logic comes from. When has auto-block ever been that good?
trolling my usage of Bro, im trying to keep the peace when i disagree with ppl instead of being offensive
do u know the descriptions of the gems?..frogs chirping… until then
we will see
im pre ordering it, ohhh exclusive gems :wow:… so i can body ppl for free, yes!..No, I dont think that’s how it will works
Lol, frogs croak they don’t chirp.
Also im glad your buying it, they made it for your tween generation. cant wait for them to start making toilet recliners so you dont have to get up when watching skins on MTV.
Lol next your gonna tell everyone darksydephil is a better ST player than Mike Watts.
I with you, yo. I recall just jokingly saying that in the following months (A little before Pandora no less) the game will have more crazy mechanics and new design choices than Abel has specials. Curse my mind’s eye’s ability to see these things coming. I’ve jinxed us all.
I found this recent picture of Ono after the New York Comic Con.
Scrooge is too much sexy for that kind of joke, buddy.
So… tomorrow… are we gonna get new info about the infamous Gems?
Did anyone notice that the Asuka picture now has it where there are three gems per character?
yeah it seems that the ratio is from 3 to 5 Gems~ so maybe its a option to play with a certain amount of Gems or maybe something else like some Gems require more space then others.
lol i know i wanted to super troll u with my comment… wanted to see if u noticed
Umm has this been mentioned yet?
Look at the gauge on the right: there are 6 gem slots, 3 for each character I assume.
the one on the bottom must be for your tag partner, and in that image all 3 of the bottom slots have no gems on them.
I am generally a fan of the gem system idea, but I thought of the following scenario that terrified me.
We all know that the block gem allows you to auto-block for 1 meter, and it’s likely that the throw tech gem works off a similar system. Doesn’t Pandora mode give infinite meter? Doesn’t that mean that at below 25% health, you could possibly have an unthrowable, unkillable (as long as he uses safe moves) person? I can’t be the first person to have thought of this scenario…
Yes, and since you die after like 8 seconds, that provides absolutely no benefit.
We’ve considered it before, I believe.
In any case, it doesn’t really matter. You don’t really need to attack the Pandora user, just run away for 7 seconds and he’ll die on his own. In fact, if he needs to block or tech a throw he’ll be wasting his precious time. Make one attack be blocked and then do a tick throw and he’s down several seconds.
If you’re going to count on Pandora - which as of now is a horrible idea -, I think Damage+ gems will be the way to go since you’ll want to kill the guy in 7 seconds.
If they did cut it down to 3 per character instead of 6 I think most of the complaints about the time factor for choosing gems is gone.
But they probably didn’t.
