About reviews I'll report my own posts. The way I write FG reviews and why some websites does not have good fighting game reviewers.
TR and DmC were in fact designed for gamers... they were just designed for the modern era gamer. Both are games I would say are good but they don't completely personify what their respective series are about.
As far as AAA games go you can certainly do a lot worse that either of those.
And game review threads have gotten really silly this year on GAF. The metacritic nut hugging has reached the stratosphere. It's like the RT threads on OT but 100x worse.

Speaking of the modern gamer, I just haven't had fun playing games lately. I bought Mario 3d World and I'm bored out of my mind. I played the Bayonetta 2 and Smash Bros demos and just wasn't hooked at all.
Fighting games are pretty much the only thing I can keep playing these days, outside the occasional random game like Dark Souls 2. For the most part I feel like I'm just paying for the same games over and over.

There is no PS3 demo. Only for PS4.

Superhero comics and the like won't become big again until they remember what made them good in the first place. Early Superman/spidey/whatever stories were short, to the point, quite self-contained. Light-hearted humor and just all around cool stuff. Now they have sprawling combined multi-universe multi-timeline continuity monstrosities that no sane man can hope to follow. It's why the Iron Man movie was so good, IMO: It went back to the roots of what that kind of stories were originally about. Cool tech, action, humor, overall just being about fun and kicking ass.
They worry the shit out of me.
The first one, if players can't join lobbies in progress- that's exactly what VF5FS did with their lobbies. It won't affect 1 vs 1 matches, but joining bad lobbies is going to be near impossible.
Also acceptable input delay from 15 to 35 frames isn't really an improvement.
That said, Endless netcode felt fine to me beforehand the way I was playing, and they haven't touched that, so I don't think I"ll have big problems. I just hope I'm not forced into ranked- I don't like people seeing which chars I play often and a constant stress of having to worry about losing points. (this is why I refuse to play ranked in SF4)
That said, I have a far better experience with 1v1 matches on PC than console, and that's how I like to play - I hate waiting, so I don't think it will kill the experience for me. I'm worried because I think it will kill the experience for others- and then the playerbase drops, which will kill the experience for me, or Capcom somehow did manage to make things worse.

Is the bug with PC USFIV locking up for several seconds when searching for rooms fixed? That's a crippling issue with the PC version.
The glitch fixes are nice too, although it bumps Decapre back up a tier thanks to flash kick into U2 now being a thing again.

SCV was supposed to come out in March 2012, then SFxT was also announced to be released in the same month which pushed its release date up. When SFxT came out, many people started playing that and dropping SCV because it was newer and people hyping it up while cannibalizing interests in other games at the competitive level.
By the time we find out that SFxT wasn't as good as people hyped it up to be, it's too late because players these days don't go back to different fighting games once they fall behind the competition, so they just dropped SFxT and went back to playing SF4 instead of giving something else a try, especially when we had a bunch of fighting games come out in 2012.
Plus the audience for fighting games is still small compared to other genres, so a company is not doing themselves any favors by releasing in the same month as something else. And now SFxT is a distant memory with the release of Ultra.

Play Ultra folks, it's a good game. o_o
Pretty sure most of the people that were playing SFxT were never going to play SCV in the first place.
Elena is going to be most newbies' introduction to "character specific knowledge".
"You know, that ultra? It doesn't work when your opponent jumps back in the corner. Just doesn't."
Elena is everyone's introduction to 2/3 of a complete character.
That's not true because they were playing it, streaming it, and hosting tournaments for it until interest died down. It's easy to see the people who either never played a Calibur game before or haven't played one in a long time that were playing SCV when it came out.
People will give new games a try, but they usually don't go back as the game gets older.
For all of the flack that people gave Microsoft for touting the cloud when promoting the XBox One, this is a perfect example of where you'd use something like that.
While it's not tied to the console directly, the idea that you have a set of services available to you that have high reliabity/uptime and scales to your needs is a huge boon, considering you don't have to write all of that yourself, maintain your own servers, etc.
I read the "ha ha" in Lee Chung's voice.

It's more like a "huh-HA"
Usually for folks to come back to a game, it has to have single-player appeal, or a large playerbase during a lull.
SCV would have lasted if the game had more casual appeal, but they sucked much of it out with the stripped-down movelists and removal of popular characters in favor of unappealing new characters.
It was the FG equivalent of Lance Storm.
SC is probably the easiest series to bring back to main event status in the FGC- it just needs to be fan-friendly in a way that doesn't destroy the competitive side of the game the way SC folks want to play it (I also felt SCV was more technical that what many SC vets wanted in the game)
Does that come with the omega stuff?
No, I believe that's still in development.

I honestly disagree with that, I don't think the game has ever been that popular in the FGC besides SCII.

Let's just all play SCII.
someone just found a 3-way OS in vf2 that effectively breaks the game and makes wolf, Jeff and kage S+ tier:

maybe backdash beats it?

SCI and even SCIII were popular, and SCIII was in spite of being Kuso
SCIV also sold pretty well. It wasn't until SCV that the series stuggled to sell at full price.

I know where you are. Vanquish and Dark Souls bored me. I acknowledge them both as good games. Vanquish is the peak of its genre. But I just wanted both to end. Meanwhile, I have a good 40 hours in Smash already. I played the demo for 20, using only Megaman. I feel like only fighting games interest me any more, but I want to experience great stuff like Bayonetta 2. I just want that to be a part of my gaming history.

Fighting games and dota 2 for me
The social and self a improvement aspects are what appeal to me. That and you cab squeeze in a game or practice easily during downtime.
With modern video games it seems like you have to clear out a whole block of time to get any real value out of them. I can play a game of dota in 30-40 minutes or get in a casual training mode session to break apart study time.
If I'm going to play the last of us or Bioshock or Destiny I feel like I at least need two hours to make any sort of progress. Two hours uninterrupted demanding my full attention like a movie. Except I need to do this for another 6-8 sessions to complete the game
And idk that doesn't really appeal to me anymore. I'm going to play bayonetta, but I'm not as excited or enthusiastic about it as I was for the first game. And after that I might be done with single player games for the foreseeable future. They just don't appeal to what I enjoy about games anymore. They feel like such an unproductive waste of time.

Seems like this sentiment is going around. I can't say I don't feel the same way. Not that I don't have plenty of games to occupy my game time these days, but that's probably aided by the fact that that time is so limited. But even if it wasn't, I'm on GAF enough to be aware of all the big stuff coming out and none of it interests me. So is this the product of stagnation in the industry, or is it the result of simply having gamed for so long that everything is old hat?
I also don't feel like this applies to fighting games. I'm somehow just about as into Marvel as I've ever been, and I've expanded that interest into a lot of other games. The new Smash is really fun. But while I've been playing fighting games since SFII, I didn't get into them seriously until Marvel 3 came out (couldn't even make a DP come out before that). So those are still pretty new for me.
I know FPS's are deader than dead in my mind. I don't know what it would take to interest me in one of those. I was massively into Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Goldeneye and others back in the day but the Call of Duty thing never really captured me. I haven't been interested in RTS's since the days of Warcraft 3(!).
I have been liking RPG's more than I did when I was younger, but since I don't have any of the current-gen consoles, my ability to play those is limited. Also the fact that it requires me to camp in front of a TV for long stretches, and that's less and less possible these days.
I am enjoying the stuff I get on my handhelds, and there's a lot to be had there. It helps that PS+ gives me so many free titles to play on the Vita. Most of them aren't that interesting, but I'd have a hard time finding games to pay real money for on that thing anyway.

SC is pretty popular, always has been but the games have been steadily getting changed for the worse since SCII. That's affected its standing in the community.
