i appreciate your reply. i did pick up the last few nether realm games for their single player stuff but didn’t stick with any of them for a particularly long time. i really didn’t click with tekken 7 (tekken tag on ps2 was a big part of my life in college, tournaments at my first off-campus friend’s apartment every…

yea, the article and tweets made me comment in the first place. i felt the need to stand up for him lol.

i’m not good at fighters, i never had the skills to compete and won’t learn them at this point in my life. is there a decent story mode?

i’m under the impression this is negative backlash though? i know some ppl are just memeing but still.

i never really played guilty gear but i think this guy looks fuckin awesome

hope it’s good. really felt like goofy/arcadey sports games have been lacking in general, or just not as good as the ps2 era.

behold the master race

I feel like it would be a non-issue if they didn’t make whack excuses or try to backpedal so desperately from a negative press cycle. Saying less is more - going on the defensive makes it worse. 

Yea, you’re not wrong. I guess I meant more like, it’s the one part of the article I’m not convinced about while the rest of it is more or less agreeable. Felt sort of lumped in to me.

Lots of compelling points. Still not convinced on this difficulty slider thing though :

oof. was kind of excited for this but the minute to minute action looks so clunky and spongey.

Not really. It’s more like the PC environment. Old rigs still run new games.

microsoft is making a lot of smart moves imo. anecdotally, my circle of gaming buds are taking the xbox brand a bit more seriously again.

I like your comment. I think it’s pretty funny how vitriolic people replying to me got, while considering themselves authorities of empathy and morality. Thank you for keeping a level head.

I can't believe people take video game cosmetics this seriously, but here we are.

Whats up with awful smelling t-shirts from the internet! Various vendors seem to spray them with vinegar or something.

i played it on pc as well, but hooked into my tv because it’s a 100+ hour game. i had tried kb+m though, and movement felt even more sluggish and unresponsive - movement seemed to be designed with a controller in mind.

It has some good ideas, but the moment to moment the swordplay is floaty, and slowing down to pick out the right potion or spell from a radial wheel is clunky and weirdly paced. I couldn’t click into anything smooth with it. I still like the game for the stories but both of our opinions are equally valid imo 

witcher games have notoriously un-fun combat and convoluted controls. just put it on easy-mode or if you’re on pc cheese out with a god patch, IMO.

i feel better knowing someone else saw the jacked up buttcheek implants first.
