@Hawkingbird - Forgive me if this offends you but your really in the wrong genre f you want “consistent” competition. Fighter is niche genre for reason. But fighting game can be enjoyed beyond competition, and what you learned from 1 game can be transfer to another.
Yeah the key difference is we know GGPO is coming. I also doubt casual players even know what GGPO is and as it stands the netcode is acceptable compared to utter garbage like in Guilty Gear or KOF13.
If you want a game that has GGPO and is like Yatagarasu then go play 3rd Strike. Why are you even here if you don’t like the game?
This game doesn’t have the wealth of single player content like an NRS game. I’m not a lab monster. It’s not wrong of me to want competition for a genre that’s hugely built for multiplayer.
This isn’t about fighter lacking content outside multiplayer but rather that fighter is multiplayer games that have difficulty keeping consistent competition for multiplayer. Unless the game is popular. Your going to have hard time finding player for majority of the fighting game. This is why you reason doesn’t make sense to me, your choosing to play a nitche genre that has a very unstable player base, if you dont like investing to something that base around how conveniently multiplayer is than I think you should be playing genre that do that like Moba, FPS, and RTS.
Even if something has superior netcode, your not guaranteed competition. Look at titles like KI3, Skull girls, Vampire collection. These games bother to put in ggpo/roll back netcode and yet they still have smaller player base then games that done have these netcode.
The poitn I want to drive home is that you’ll want to reevaluate why you play say games because your current reason don’t make much sense. Your setting your self up for future disappointments with your line of thinking
I play Skullgirls and KI on my friends Xbone. I don’t have an issue finding people to play against in those games. The consistency of competition is not my issue. I still play SFxT and the base for that is tiny. I simply not gonna bother with a subpar netcode waiting for the good one. I’ll simply hold off on it until it gets there.
It’s logic like that which leads to a dead community, because when the game came out people like you decided to wait, and while that was going on people who actually cared about playing the game couldn’t find matches, so they stopped playing since no one was online, and then when the good netcode came there was no one online because everyone was waiting for the good netcode.
This doesn’t make sense. GGPO is guaranteed.
Early buy = Can lab/figure out characters and also see if the netcode is fine without GGPO.
As I said before I’m not a lab monster. I normally use training mode to find a character I like play, find a BnB or two and that’s about it. No, I’ll wait for GGPO. I have no idea how long it will actually take for it to be added to the game. You asking me to buy on blind faith and I don’t do that.
Fighting games are competitive games, they are meant to be played against other people. Arcades have been dead for quite awhile now, so the only way to play is against friends or online. It is unlikely friends will have heard of or be interested in Yagatarasu, so that leaves online for this obscure title. If the online is bad, well then there is no point to playing the game at all.
Or maybe like, you know, like fighting games can make good netcode, like, a priority?
They did make it a priority, which is why they’re adding GGPO. They just didn’t make it more of a priority than MAKING THE GAME.
changing topics
IS their collective change log to AOC?
Everyone has different reasons for getting the game and in my case there’s no point in buying it without ggpo. I’m not trying to support the game, in fact there a 99% chance that I will only play it a handful of times. I’m buying it to support ggpo.
I think the game is dead on arrival anyway but it makes zero sense to release it without GGPO.
I’m rather baffled at the fact that everyone is pissed that the game is being released without GGPO even though it IS coming regardless because Nyu-Media & Hotapen are obligated to add it. So a few weeks or month wait for better netcode is better than anything like Tecmo Koei adding adding netplay to their game 3 months after release.
Just my opinion but buying the game strictly just to support GGPO is buying it for the wrong reason.
I’d also argue that buying it doesn’t support GGPO at all since it’s not like any of the money from the purchase goes to the Cannon’s or something. The Yatagarasu team already paid their licensing, they don’t have to give any more money for the thing, so you’re just giving them the money anyways. To not support the team because you don’t actually care about the game, but to support the team because you care about the netcode is ass backwards.
Looking forward to playing this game. One of the first characters I wish to try would be Azure! Then I migrate to the others as I play along.
Keep in mind that JuiceboxKing intends on making a few guides in relation to Yatagarasu.
Game is out for the people who backed it. Just in case you were wondering, west coast US to Europe is pretty unplayable.
The game crashes when I try to go to options.
Can you post a shot of the options screen?
I’m thinking SweetFX/Reshade’s scanline filter would look sick with this game.
