@adf86 yeah, the problem is that they didn't plan this and that has to impact thier future plans. You'd hope as you said that they would have figured out who is the boss for the expansion in June and If rushed arcade mode could be a train wreck.
Back to content I just think they didn't account for long time fans like me I'll still play games like SF Alpha 2 on the Saturn or SF II HD Remix on PS3 (both excellent games) but always arcade mode I've never played online.
The beta wins my record for the dulliest tutorial. Then the record for the dulliest opening section after the tutorial. I believe it also holds the record for me quiting because the game was dull as dish water.
If they add arcade I'd buy it in a heartbeat the question is how quick could they turn it around and what would be the impact on their pre-defined roadmap.
Well the real question is how can Capcom sell 9 Million copies and Street Fighter IV and then think to themselves. Forget mass market appeal lets make a niche fighting game for a small number of fans. That will go down a storm!
I want to play the divison beta but I've started FF VII again and that game has always had a special kind of hold for me. So thats all I want to play now.
I've put a lot more hours in bloodbourne and witcher 3 and never got bored. The first 15 hours of fallout 4 were great but I got to the point where I just wanted to critical path the main story.
The whole game is a series of checklists and it does nothing to cover that up in its design. That to me is why the Witcher 3 and bloodbourne are better games I never noticed the checklists in those games because I felt like I was invested in those worlds.
Yeah i agree they gone F it up! The funny thing about the metacritic scores aren't even " I'm giving this game a 3 because someone gave it a 10". People are annoyed, hell I'm annoyed I should want to play SFV but now I'm waiting for Super SFV which I'm sure will get a 9/10 user score.
Oh no I'm going to have to buy an xbone now because I can't wait 30 days for content which will offer 10% of the base games content for 30% of its price. Man, I'm so jaded when it comes to DLC these days.
I beat SF II on 7 stars with all (8) fighters just to see the extended cut scenes. Arcade mode is my childhood memories with SF. I don't want an 100 hour epic but at least give me a cutscene and let me beat up a car.
Since its key people left due to in fighting the studio's output has been a bit rubbish. It makes me laugh though that a lot of people are quick to forget that COD4 changed the FPS landscape and set the mould for all future COD. Without Infinity Ward they'd be no COD.
Having said that did Treyarch did develop not just the worst COD but the worst FPS I've ever played in COD3 and later went on to make black ops after a longer dev cycle so you know past performance isn't always a good measure for future results.
The frame rate seemed to drop to around zero quite lot or the game pause for a split second for me however this didn't stop me enjoying the game I thought it was brillant.
I thought the gunplay horrible I played it for like 15-30 mins and deleted it from my harddrive. I'm supprised they left the servers on this long to be honest.
The devs actual explained thier thinking process behind the trophies for firewatch in the latest playstation blogcast. Its worth a listen it aounds like their choice.
This bug will probably patched by the time I get there so I'm assuming I don't need to worry about it. I've fired up two lazers so far the game is amazing. Its hard to put it down and its all I think about when I'm not playing.
Its funny its almost as if Activison are leaking these stories to get people talking about Destiny again. There is no such thing as bad publicity after all.
Not a hero would be awesome. I agree Street Fighter IV would be a wise move because its sort of last gen I can't see anyone buying it after V comes out.
And I'm going to say Knack because I'll be right one day.
I think its ok for PC gaming to do its own thing and early access is one of those things. I just want to chill in my chair with a controller and the finished product and I'm willing to pay more and wait longer.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Street Fighter V Cowers to the Power of Street Fighter IV
Blops 3 sales were down 25% on the previous weeks and its not like Capcom didn't market SFV so it is a little bit of a shocker that.
