Wait 360 gets ngbc, garou, kof98UM, kof2k2UM and PS3 gets none of it ever? I still hate SNK then…
Jesus Christ, people.
Shut the fuck up already about the 360/PS3 ports.
Just get a fucking PS2 that can play imports for fucking sake. If you really cared so much, you’d already have the fucking games.
game is incomplete
that’s pretty much it
bought it brand new for $60. online is crap and so is the engine. sold it on here for 40 bucks shipped. thats how much it sucks
Good not great. My guess is that SNKP will either do a remake of XI, or go 2.5D.
Is the xbla port of 98UM worth buying if I can only play online?
Im fine with sf4 level netcode.
oh right, kof xii makes me wanna cry naked in a cold shower. all the kof charm is gone… if you’re a fan of the kof series like 98, 2k2 and xi. then this one will break your heart.
alotta missing characters and moves (seriously? only 1 special DM. this is kof!! not street fighter!), only 5 stages, i mean 6 stages one is night studium and the other is a day stadium. i dunno about you guys, but i love playing the ikari warriors. but in this one, you’re probably heard and you’ll hear again. clark and ralph doesn’t look right, they’re look too roided out. like to the extreme, no special character intros, no boss, no story. physics feels alright, but gameplay is very dry compare to the original.
but since you’re new to the kof series, this game is easier to grasp. but its a bad product. very incomplete. sadly…
Plain and simple, its a shell of what KOF is supposed to be. While some of the mechanics are actually fun, the actual feel of the game is absolutely horrendous (if that makes any sense). Its simply not satisfying to play that game at all. I don’t think its from lack of difficulty but maybe just the lack of oomph or something. Its missing something intangible that a lot of great KOFs (and fighters in general) have. I guess polish and care would be the right words
Let me put it this way: China is a KoF playing country. But in Beijing, KoF12 usually didn’t have anyone playing it. They moved in Melty Blood in its place. If it’s KoF and China won’t play it if it has the opportunity, it probably sucks.
Everyone here would rather play SF4, Tekken 6, or just stick to 98. Plus there is still a dedicated 3S scene.
If SNK was smart enough to get SFIV level netcode for 98UM a lot more people would be playing it.
I totally agree with you on that.
Is KOF 98 UM for PS2/PS3 playable online?
Is KOF Orochi Saga for Wii playable online?
Thanks
Nope, the JPN PS2 version is but only in Japan of course, and there’s no PS3 version atm but the 360 version suffers from horrid input lag during online play…
Nope, would’ve been nice tho’…
The netcode in SNK XBLA games thus far has been horrible and as a result, no one plays the games online.
Theyre good ports otherwise. Just don’t take them online.
i dont mind this game at all but…
WHY IN THE FUCK IS THIS GAME MISSING A BOSS CHARACTER…
… I MEAN RLY NO BOSS CHARACTER!!!
… oh and the “critical counter” can go!
who actually gets hit by CCs
throw priority is fucked, but everything else is pretty enjoyable. Well, except for footsies.
I enjoyed the combo system and juggle choices. Sprites are top notch. Overall it’s a stupid but fun game. Have some friends over and play a few rounds between SF4 matches.
At the very least, i got my dream team finally.
thanks everyone for your inputs, ill probably just get a live points card and get kof98 and something else
I don’t really play online anymore I play with friends so it will be the smart choice
Core gameplay of XII is actually fun and solid…apart from the grab system.
The game was definitely unfinished. Missing flame hit effects; no intro’s; hardly any supers, characters and moves; no boss character; poor design (e.g. changing your button config etc); hardly any modes; cross-up bugs and that screen reset thing…etc etc.
As people have already said, it was missing alot of the KoF charm and personality, and what made KoF so good in the first place. What I personally liked about KoF wasn’t present and so I naturally didn’t really play it anymore. CC’s are pretty dull, but I don’t complain about them too much.
SnK need to think. XII (arcade) bombed in Japan and China…very badly. 2k2UM however was a great success. Obviously they must now have noticed that selling out to the ‘casual’ or beginner fanbase is not exactly the right choice. They could’ve still created the KoF that we know and love, and attracted the casual and beginner fanbase. Graphics alone would do the trick, as well as the fact it was coming out at the right time where it was definitely getting noticed and covered. Add to that, that KoF games have the sweetest supers, cool-ass characters and great charm; create the right trailer and people would be fawning.
However, they rushed it, did it wrong and all the reviewers bashed the game (most of the time unfairly); people had complaint after complaint and the casual/beginner gamers were chased away. Then only the original/core fanbase was left…and frankly we were left with nothing. Fans quickly got bored.
It’s lacking a whole lot of things including an entire list of moves, but still praise the core gameplay which is very solid. This can only mean that KOF XIII will be the real next generation KOF.
Edit:
I think i played you at SvB:wgrin:
