Re: Mortal Kombat 11 DLC Ceases As NetherRealm Turns Attention to Next Project

@Residentsteven Melty blood, Blazblue, Skullgirls, under night in birth and Them fighting herds are all great figthing games, and they all belong to the air dashing fighting game sub genre.

They have all beautifull sprite work and animation. In case of Blazblue, the second last game in its series, called chronophatasma extend, has much more single player content than MK11, its last game, centralfiction, doen't really, but it is still good(if arcsys dubbed it like they did with the other prevouis three games in the series, this game would be perfect)

Skull girls, Blazblue, Them fighting herds and Undernight in birth have great tutorial modes, that explains the game pretty intuitivly, because this games have vey deep gameplay mechanism, more so than MK. All this games also have gatling(light buttons cancel into heaver buttons), so expect long combos and blockstrings.

Melty blood is a game made by the creators of undernight in birth , and is bascically a sequel to the type moon visual novel game Tsukihime. It is getting a new release in three months time, check it out if you like Tsukihime and /or the Fate series to an extent.

All this games that i have mentioned , have been GOATed and included in many people in the fighting game communities, greatest fighting games of all time, because this games are fun to play, their lore are interesting, and the games as a whole does so much right.

I wish this great fighting games would get the spotlight that they deserve, like other classics in other video game genres.

Dammit, where is my Ragna the bloodedge apperication thread?

@Arnna "why do you want sexualised characters? A lot of that stuff is very misogynistic."

This is some warped up logic. Go outside and tell any teenage girl or young adult wearing skimpy clothes, that they are representing misogynistic behaviors.

Don't get me wrong, I have limit to how much I can also take sexualization, for example I like the sexualization in Guilty Gear, but I also think its sister series, Blazblue, kinda goes a bit to hard on the anime sexualization.

Good, I am happy about this,and hopefully arcsys sees this as a success and truly pushes this game more in advertising and long term frequent support.

They just need to fix the bugs on pc and fix the server problems on both console and pc, and add the crossplay that they promised (which is looking likely), then the game will escape from the all to common fate of fighting games dying a month after launch.
This and R&C are my GOTY.

Re: Guilty Gear Strive Gets First DLC Character Details and a Badass Opening Movie

@Flaming_Kaiser I don't think you understand how team red creates characters for strive. Unlike snk, team red doesn't raise character model assets from the previous games, hence they are made from scratch. So it's not like they are keeping old characters behind a paywall, it is just that models for those old characters don't exist even for strive yet.

Again, KOF15, is just kof14 with a coat of new paint, and four new characters. So yeah, you are getting more characters from KOF, because 95% of those characters already existed, while for Guilty Gear none of the character models for strive existed in previous games(you can even check for yourself).

I have to also disagree with you on this one, I got more value out of buying Guilty Gear rev2 4 years ago for $60 then I had for GOW4 for the same price. Why? Because that $60 Guilty Gear game has given me fun for about 4 years now, while that enjoyment of GOW only lasted for about a month.

@nomither6 Why shouldn't they announce dlc. Dlc is a way to show that they are supporting the game after release.

Fighting games are multiplayer focused games, so they require a healthy playerbase to stick around after the first month. Dlc characters are the best solution to this when the game release, because they help create a sense of anticipation for the future of the game and they help keep players coming back to the game after months of release.

You guys should realise that the fighting game genre is not as thriving as the shooters, rpg and AAA action adventure game genre, it is very niche. When compared to other mulpiyer games like shooters, majority of fighting games have a very unhealthy playerbase, meaning that the playerbase drops significantly after a month of release.So a AAA game like FF7 remake can wait a year then announce dlc, but a fighting game like Guilty Gear can not afford that luxury, it requires a constant playerbase and DLC gives that hype.

No, this doesn't mean that they purposely cut content from the base game,and seeing Guilty Gear strives development history, I wouldn't be surprised if they are still working on the first dlc character as we speak.Plus, it's not like making games is getting cheaper.

@arra1213 Tbh, Kof15 roaster are just reused assets from kof14, with a new coat of paint, and four new character mixed in , while also still being of objectively less quality in terms of animation visual effects of the models than Strives.

So don't be surprised to find out that SNK spent way less money on the character models for kof15, compared to the 15 character models for Arcsystem Guilty Gear strive.

@JimRyanTriggersYou That what makes him the GOAT, him retiring from time to time, yet he still has six ballon'dor's, the most in football history, it's just crazy.

But on a serious note, Messi has never retired from club football, but he has tired from international football like twice, and he always came back when his country needed him.

@TrueAssassin86x It's the most watched and played sports on the planet for a reason.
It has a very inclusive geographic appeal, from Africa to Europe to South America and to Asia.

So yes , you are in the minority, no other sports brings people of the same country and continent together(international football) while simultaneously bringing people of different country and creed(Club football) together like football does, not even the Olympics.

Football is not just a sport, it is a way of life.

But I do not blame you, if you aren't in or weren't brought up in an environment that loves football, then there would be a disconnect with the joy of football. From the country I am from, no, from the continent I am from , it is impossible to have not grown up with football in your family. So it is impossible for me to understand your indifference towards football.

P.S. if you want to watch a footballer who doesn't dive like a swimmer, then watch Lionel Messi, he is the greatest footballer that has ever played the sport or will play the sport, and he is famously known for not diving, plus he is a magician with the football.
