Oh yeah, I forgot to post this when I should have but:
Those of you whom are trying to get a test build of AoC even though you didn’t donate shouldn’t bother asking Nyu-Media. I’ve talked to them regarding this and they will not comply with the request as it will be unfair to those whom actually paid to get testing access to AoC during the indiegogo campaign.
I’m not saying it’s not possible but at the current moment, it’s just not.
Japan doesn’t like PC, fool. If it’s not in arcades it doesn’t matter. Additionally, the number of people playing a game being directly influenced by the quality of the game is retarded, seeing as Marvel 3 is one of the worst games this generation and also the most popular one. There could be a million different factors for a million different people for why they don’t play the game that has nothing to do with parries being different from 3S.
Let me make this abundantly clear (and I will post this in bold so there is zero excuse to not understand what I am saying) THE GAME DOESN’T NEED 3S PARRIES. I AM SAYING THE PARRY SYSTEM SUCKS AND NEEDS ADJUSTMENT. THIS DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN IT NEEDS TO BE LIKE 3S.
That said. The developers have shown no intent on changing the mechanics or making the original 8 characters not generic as fuck. Which means the game -when released- will be popular for about a month and then die.
It was discussed by the game developers that they wanted parries to be easily accessible to newcomers. With the current conditions for parrying including a more lenient window and taking more damage when you mess up, I feel that the game developers were able to successfully do what they envisioned.
I can understand your opinion since I’m a 3S player as well, but at the end of the day this isn’t 3S. The game is inspired by 3S with all of the fundamentals carrying over while still being easily accessible to newcomers. I’m very excited for this game
And yes, I was also expecting them to fully rebalance the original cast but it looks like that won’t be the case as we haven’t seen or heard anything regarding that and the expected “summer release” is winding down.
