Finally played Cyberbots! FUCK YES THE BOOST SYSTEM IS AWESOME. And the bots have ALL the attacks from Armored Warriors, a lot of them with the same motions! Shit is crazy!
QUESTION For FGW:
as someone who has brothers, I would always have someone to play multiplayer games with or to practice off. specially during the ps1/n64 days and so forth. I never played with arcade except when reeeal young and i wouldn't equate it to the arcade scene that most people refer to in FGs.
so for those of you who were single children or didn't have anyone else to play FGs with, what was your main source of fun for sticking to the genre? (asking in particular for those who played during the non-internet enabled consoles).
was it the technical aspect, the appeal of story mode, the animu?
99% of the time I played alone, against the CPU, since I was at home without friends to play. Nowadays I have a couple of friends and sometimes organize little 3-4 man "tourneys" with college mates in the middle of snacks and stuff.
Man, fighting games were always fascinating to me. The animations, the character designs, all the diversity of expression, the mystery in the back story of each one of the characters, all the martial arts bullshit... And then there is the physical element, the feedback of the hits and the fact that YOU have to learn how to do the attacks and understand how to use them.
I spent weeks and weeks playing arcade mode trying to see all the supers, discover what the story was about (doing all endings and stuff), discovering patterns to defeat bullshit bosses, learn the pre-fight dialogs....
So much stuff. Most of the other games I had access didn't have the same amount of care and polish, neither characters so appealing. And every now and then I could play against other people, and for years that was the only "PvP" I knew, besides racing games. Multiplayer either was coop in Metal Slug or something like that or VS in RRR or Street Fighter.
