Yeah, called mine too lol, no dice. Figured they wouldn’t but we can’t take any risks, must.check.everywhere.

1782

I hope he’s in America, lol. I feel pretty stupid for walking 20 blocks for nothing.

1783

He’s in NJ iirc.

I went to Toys R Us also and didn’t find it.

It was kind of fishy I saw 3 game cases turned around and I just had this feeling it was the game, but I left it alone, cause they said game’s with the cases turned around in the glass are ones that are “out of stock” and it was behind the counter.

If someone’s got a picture link of what the back of the 360 vf5 case looks like I can confirm if it looked like that or not. And if it does, then I’ll probably go back there in the next 2 days.

1784

Ha ha. I was thinking about doing it that way, but I plan to use it for STHD whenever that game comes out.

And my stick is ghetto’d out now. Electrical tape everywhere. I filed one of the holes to big so now the button is extremely loose. Had to electrical tape that one down. Solder marks on the art. It looks like I had it for years, not weeks.

But hey, it gives it character :wgrin:

1785

It’s RSigley, you never know to believe him or not. heh heh :wink:

1786

It is confirmed that people in the Europe have gotten X360 VF5 copies a few days early.

1787

It is confirmed that Sega hates North America! :lovin: lol jk… or am I?:confused:

1788

I should be getting the new strategy guide tomorrow (tracking).

If you guys have any questions, let me know.

1789

i got it at toys r us, see my gamertag i got achievements

add my gamertag and we can play but i’m not very good

stanley decker

the player match option fucking sucks because you play once then no option for a rematch

they don’t even track stats for player matches so who knows why they do that

online just a lot of punch spammers so far, but i only played about 20 matches

haven’t really noticed much lag but i do have some trouble with the 360 controller, none with the vf stick tho

1790

Lol I think I get the sneaky plan by Sega, they want people to use online to satisfy their urger for comp but not become reliant on it like fuckin DoA players. Kind of sucks but might not be a bad thing in the long run lol.

1791

You can rematch in the non-ranked mode. And I’m hella glad they don’t track stats for online play. It boosts horrible players’ egos lol.

1792

Hoping my gamestop gets it before the weekend. I could use Shun and drink in game and IRL too.

1793

uh they do track stats for ranked matches just not players

and you can’t rematch in the non ranked mode

1794

here i uploaded some videos of the online play so you can see how it is

i did it pretty ghetto with this setup of random books lying around and my ds

so yea

i used high quality on my camera but then the file was 400 megs, so i did low quality and its crappy but oh well

btw i suck at this game, never played it before 2 days ago and never played vf ever so yes i suck no need to point it out

here’s logging in, booting game, picking vs match etc.

here’s another online match

http://www.rsigley.com/MVI_0135.AVI

here’s the conclusion from the second online match showing you can’t rematch in non ranked mode (or ranked mode)

http://www.rsigley.com/MVI_0136.AVI

here’s a picture showing the no rematch screen

1795

owow… Thats awesome. CALLING TIME

1796

Thx for posting that rsigley, you fed my craving for about 20 minutes!

1797

Seriously, cause there is a user on IGN boards saying that he has US copy of VF:5 already, It kind of pisses me off when I read things like this

1798

Man, at least the 360ver doesn’t have that gay setup like the PS3 ver has. I’ve been playing my PS3 copy as of recently and seeing this is making me appreciate the fact it’s on the 360 more and more.

1799

According to someone on NeoGAF, you can do rematches in Player Matches, but only if make a private room and invite them.

Here are some of the problems with online play that Gamefaqs is reporting:

  • Two modes, Ranked and Player
  • Options in Player: Match Time (15/30/45/60), Map Type (Random/Fence/NoFence/HighFence), Rounds (1-5), Public/Private
  • Options in Ranked: Always 3-round, 45 sec.
  • No lobby, no teams, no survival, no tournament
  • In Player Match, after a fight, you can only Rematch (using same characters), or Quit (back to main menu). If you want to play with different characters, you need to quit back to the menu, re-open the game, and re-invite the player.

Once again, this is the impressions from GameFAQs… so… take it with a grain of salt.
