Yeah, it's only THE FIRST DAY and people are calling this a complete disaster as if SFV was any better. If indeed that's what SNK said, then that means they'll do what's necessary to make the netcode better.
The vast majority of my matches in SF5 have been supremely playable. Very, very few have tons of rollback. But I dunno...maybe I'm lucky.
Input delay netcode in 2016 is already two strikes. I don't know why we're giving SNK the benefit of the doubt when exactly zero of their games have had solid netcode.
So yeah, SF5, for me was and continues to be playable.
Why shouldn't we expect shit to work THE FIRST DAY when the userbase has the potential to be the largest? Like fixing the game later is going to matter at all when relatively few people are going to buy KoF in the first place, and even fewer will care that these things get sorted out later (which, honestly, I doubt will happen).
Also, why, in these conversations, do people act like only SF5 exists. Whenever anything bad happens, every hops on shitting on SF5 when there are a fuckton of other fighters doing things right out there.
I know you have. I'm saying it's not an exclusive thing and other games seem to get a harsher reaction than SFV.
1. Less people are going to play other games (unless you're MK or Smash), so it's even more important to have your best foot forward.
2. Harsher reaction? Have you not been around for the past 6 months with a weekly thread lamenting whatever current complaint people have about SF5? lol.
