Unless it's something I really want, I wait. Since the ps3/360 days it seems the "thing" is to release a game and patch later. And the problem is the majority of the fan base thinks it's OK. What it boils down to is 2 things:
1. The QA in a lot of these companies don't know how to properly test their games. No you can't catch everything, but at least catch the obvious prior to release.
2. Money. Whatever can get the quickest $ is th...
After reading the article, the second one somewhat fits me. There were few titles I pre ordered since most of the time whenever I wanted a game I could go get it. PS3/360 was really the first time I tried pre ordering, and unless there's a big title I really want, I can wait.
One thing I did change for 2016 though, if a game has a Season Pass (excluding MMO style games) I will wait for some GotY version, or a sale of game and the Pass for a discount. Fortunately I ...
I remember the debates between Final Fight or Streets of Rage, which was better. The only reason I voted FF above SoR is the alcohol and half naked women. We need more games like these today. Can't beat the nights of staying up late to beat the game, only to replay them again.
Honorable mentions (not on the list)
Super Mario 3
Castlevania SotN

I like the new idea. Hopefully Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo adopt the same things as well. I also vote for actual game play over just trailers. I want to see the game in action, I want to see what I'm actually getting.
Am I the only one who still prefers the original San Andreas and Vice City over 5?
With the shot of Tekken 3, why is there a Sonic icon on the lower right corner?

Not that I agree/disagree, since everyone is entitled to their opinion(s). At the time SF 5 launched, there wasn't a lot of competition fighting game wise, so naturally they will fit the "drought of fighting games." The root of the problem is SF5 doesn't really bring anything new to the series like the previous versions. Previous games had unlockables, online, and even story modes. What did 5 really bring? Micro transactions? Sell now and patch later?
The State of denial.

I'll have to see if my Best Buy has the same thing where I live. Wouldn't hurt to see what I'm getting to prepare for it.
After playing KoF 14, SF 5 feels like a paid beta. The fact Capcom has this "release now, patch later" attitude is further proof the might dollar is more important than making a game to remind fans why we should buy SF 5. I'm sad to say but 5 is my last SF purchase until Capcom gets dollar signs out of their eyes. There's only so many times people will still buy into the name until people realize it's garbage, and need to vote with their wallets until Capcom decides t...
Wishful thinking is arcades coming back to the US like it was in the 80s and 90s.
Who cares? At this point the SJW is nothing more than over-glorified trolling.
I bet half of these "gamers" complaining never played back in the 80s/90s when a good 90% of the main characters in gaming were white. Did it bother me? No. I played games because they were fun (and fit my gamer needs), not because of diversity.
I can easily explain why - "We need someone in their 20s with 40+ years of experience." The more you think outside the box, the more you're working fast food.
I hate the way our society sees the work force today. "Follow your dreams. Except that one, or that one, or that one. But follow your passion." It then goes down to what everyone else does - Retail, Hotels, fast food, or a low end dish washer job. If more people actually took the time t...
For those who refuse to read the article, he basically says to listen to everyone who is backing your project and keep communication open. Keep updates on what's going on, even if it's small progress, it's still better than nothing.
I stopped shopping at GS when I noticed most of their "specials" required buying what I call "filler games" to make it like you're getting some special deal when in reality you're only spending more money. I also got sick of buying a "new" game opened, and them trying to justify why the game(s) had to be sold opened. In my final days shopping there, I requested an unopened game, and if they didn't have it I'd take my business elsewhere. The las...
Ok thanks for clearing it up. Again I didn't see it in the article, but good to know.
With the lack of HDMI I wonder if it's made specifically for their market? I read the article, and unless I missed something, I didn't see anything about a US release. I also wondered if the cart slot works, since it was mentioned it would be there but didn't see if it functions.
No s-it people are more intrigued by newer hardware than an upgrade. Unless Nintendo does something anti-consumer with the Switch I'll try it since it's an entirely new concept for this generation. The idea is old (Sega Nomad from the late 90s) but it can work if they play their cards right.
Of course some reviewers are only in it for the clicks. They want to shock you, deliver a quick punch and take the ad-revenue that comes with it. Unfortunately games journalism is a cesspool of mixed opinions and not all of them are unbias. There will always be an undercurrent from those who hold personal grudges or simply desire to be the “first” review onto the web. - from the article
This is the root of the problem. Give a score which will give the site traffic, and go ...
So if he's in SF5, does SF 5 take place before OR after Tekken 7?
I ask because the tin foil hat brigade will come out with their conspiracy theories regarding Tekken vs SF from Namco.
