While I'm not excited, I can't wait for these overreactions to settle down.
at least from my perspective this isnt an over reaction. not only is it the future direction of gaming, its also my future career.
OH, SURE.
WHEN IT COMES TO SOULCALIBUR V, EVERYONE COMPLAINS THAT IT LACKS MODES AND FEATURES BECAUSE TOO MUCH FOCUS WAS SOLELY ON GAME PLAY.
THEN MICROSOFT STARTS TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE AND NOW YOU’RE ALL INSULTED THAT IT’S NOT HARDCORE ENOUGH.
JUST ADMIT YOU’RE ALL HIGH-MAINTENANCE NAGGING BITCHES AND ARE FAR TOO INCOMPETENT TO EVER SUGGEST OR BEGIN TO KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU.
im not sure you know entirely what you're talking about here
first of all SCV was developed in a very short amount of time, and its easy to come to the conclusion that its rushed. certainly we're not all happy about it, i can count myself in that group, but one thing that everybody on this site pretty much can attest to is we're all grateful we even got a new Soul Calibur game period, since namco wasnt going to make one to begin with. certainly we complain and certainly it could be better, but at least it is there.
Microsoft isnt trying to please everybody here. microsoft is trying to make money - their intentions should be pretty obvious, i mean look at who they're teaming up with? EA. one of the greediest companies in the world.
What microsoft wants to do is cator to everybody. but they forgot one group, and thats the most important group. they forgot the gamers. they left us and hung us out to dry. imo we have every right to be unhappy about it. its destroying the world of gaming as we know it(perhaps not destroying but definitely having a majorly negative effect on it.
Let me ask you this: I have been gaming for over 18 years. i have played more games in my life than most people have ever seen. I am a very independant person who thinks for themself, and often goes against the flow, even under heavy criticism. I have played great games and horrible games alike, and I have lived my life by gaming. By choosing my career I have also devoted my life to enhancing and bringing more to the gaming experience. So how am I incompetent? Where is it anybody elses position to decide what is good for me?
Really I take great offense to your statement. Let me tell you some things about the market, us as consumers, and us as members of this conversation. We as the consumer have the RIGHT to demand more for our money. If we dont like something, we take our money to something else that satisfies us. In this case, XBOX does not satisfy us, so we will probably go to PS4. We partake in this conversation because we care, because this is a major part of our life being affected and we feel the need to take the initiative and talk about it. We are compitent and we are trying to preserve what is good with us. Really just because we dont think what a coorporation wants us to think does not mean we are wrong. If you never spoke out about something in your entire life, if you never cared about anything you would be nothing more than a human cattle. What seperates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom, is opposable thumbs, combined with the ability to ask questions.
In this particular situation we are using our abilities of perception to try and determine where this will take our future, and how our experience will suffer, and i can tell you that most of us have come to the conclusion that the result is quite negative. Certainly, if you want to go ahead and support microsoft, then go do it. but you dont exactly have a right to come in here and tell us what we can and should think, now do you? Newer =/= better. in the case of the PS4 it probably will be better, but microsoft has essentially alienated the hardcore gamers, even though that is what they built their console based empire off of to begin with.

these two here are able to put into words better than i could ever. they are far more charasmatic, and they have a better command of the english language. If you want to know where we're coming from, watch these. But please dont tell us what we should think - for all you know we could feel the exact same way about you, but in order to keep things civil we refrain from saying such.
People are here to voice their concerns. Why dont we let them do that peacefully? If you're satisfied with microsofts work, then please pay no mind to us.
