shidoshi, I think the issue is not that no one is doing their job in the review arena, but that not enough are. On top of that, there are far too many people who have no clue what they're talking about, unqualified to review video games or write in general, ruining it for everyone. People like GrayFox read one too many reviews by some idiot who can't string a proper sentence together (much less construct a coherent review), and has become numb to the whole process.
I don't blame him for being jaded, especially when critics in other industries are that much better.

Having fun with this game! I need to get used to the mechanics though since it feels very different for me.

No, it's your work. Gafers don't get free games or bitching press kits or "sway kits", they don't get paid for writing a review and are not under pressure of publisher or your director/boss.
If opinion is part of your job, I don't buy it. I did for 20 years, that's enough.

Can't wait to see their elite squad of Smash Bros and Mario Kart players.
Yeah he's definitely allowed to be jaded but I disagree about critics in other industries being much better especially move industry is just as bad if not worst, Music I could see the argument for.

Has anyone tried searching do players around the same region an see if that made any impact.
I have the game myself. Borrowing brother's PS3 until I can get my own. Slightly annoyed that I have to relearn the timing of Mature's combos. I haven't tried online either
Btw, has anyone found their converters or other items not working with the game?

The review is written from the perspective of someone who doesn't play fighting games. It's only a troll if you expect every gamer to know and understand common fighting game lingo. With Capcom's fighters, even someone who doesn't play fighters can appreciate the production values. On the other hand, I can't blame a non-fighter gamer for being turned off by what they see of KOFXIII. I don't expect them to sympathize with non-existent budgets and a tiny staff, they're simply going to call it as they see it.
You can criticize the site for assigning someone who has very little fighting game experience to the review, but I imagine that only serious fighting game fans or fans of the KOF universe will be able to draw anything positive from playing KOFXIII.

That lame kofxiii review isn't an example why I stopped reading reviews. Can you even even imagine how many I've read over course 20 years? You think most of them were dumb, illiterate mumblings? No, 90% were very well written pieces of work, solid technical all around. Just from my experience it was like absolutely different thing I was playing then I was reading about prior. Sometimes it was just pile of lies. Well written lies. But most of the the time no reviewer of countless bunch did share my taste.

Consult Amazon's customer service if it doesn't arrive today. They're actually quite good.

Played like 15 matches against Enk. Very, very smooth most of the time, although at one point the game froze for a few seconds, and during the last match it lagged pretty bad.
I think overall the online play is decent enough that I'm going to be devoting time to the game (especially since fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck the game play is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!), but most people are probably going to be finding it not up to par with Capcom's games.
Yeah, LOL, the manual is so thick n' heavy that it feels like the 360 case is gonna fall apart!

I like what I got to play. Online 2 bars isn't very good at all. 3 bars was okay. 4 felt pretty smooth overall.
Mature is one pick for sure on my team. King may be a strong second but Kim is too damn awesome to pass up. Anywho, got finals to study then school. Then back home for more KOF feeeeeeeel!
Sidenote: Voices need to be turned up a notch cause I have a hard time hearing the characters on default.

SO does every copy include the soundtrack or was that just a pre-order bonus?

I think all first run prints will include it.

Pretty much sums up my own experience, except for that one time 3 bars showed up but the actual match was a mess.
Also f+A, qcf BC qcf AC with Ryo (full drive 2 bars) is now awesome.

Damn. It really sucks to be broke right now. I had this preordered and still cant afford to pay it off! Got the text from GS and everything. Sigh.
So what's the word on the online play?

Seems alright so far. Though more players should be on tonight and over the weekend so we'll have a better idea a whole how it turns out.

Regarding the guide:
I don't know how in-depth this is supposed to go eventually, but you can actually land the instant version of EX Orochinagi after a grounded qcf+B. I believe it works even with the regular version, but I do the faster one out of habit now.

That's fine, and that's your opinion, and I can respect that. At the same time, hopefully you can understand why I find that statement incredibly insulting.

Ain't gonna lie. Might break down and trade in my polar white launch DS Lite. Hopefully I can resist.

Don't take it personally. I have my reasons to be bitter. You have yours to ignore me as your work is not aimed at people like me.
There are credibility issues with many reviewers, it's hard to judge unless you know the person responsible.
That said, I've known of you at least ever since you were on the old KOF mailing list in the mid-90's. I know of at least three people here who were on that ML, though one is long retired from fighters.
The folks I know about are the ones I tend to trust more, though I know to take certain things with a grain of salt/account for known biases.
The one thing I don't like about KOFXIII is that the game is making me feel old and slow.

Apology for double post, but another KOF review- and this one is from a decent casual-level player at 2d fighters.
