For those who are bored with sc5

For the record, I never said this game was bad. I even said I understand completely why others like it. All I said was that it didn't appeal to me, and I wanted to state exactly why it didn't appeal to me. Plus I was hoping to find others who have similar viewpoints.

Once again for all of those who clearly didn't get the message the first time. If this thread bothers you SOO much, then just avoid it. I don't see the point in posting in threads that people consider pointless. If you think it's pointless, then please do the dignified thing and just leave. Trust me, you won't be missed.

Why don't you leave the thread to those "who are bored with Sc5"?

Edit: and no, I don't have the power to start a new website.

OK I understand that. But you follow that with blatant false pretences that "this game is crap, this game is digging its own grave, this game is more towards that highly skilled and not the casual level....."

Typing that stuff out, did you really think the gang of us wasnt gonna come to SC's defense. Cause to me your just slandering this game over and over and over again. This is a public forum homes. EVERYONE has an opinion. And its of no consequence to give you that opinion.

Sometimes your intentions are good, but your emotions overpower them and you go off into this long drawn out post of how you hate the world (of SC that is).

Just realize what you are doing before you throw shit out like this.

Now grab some fruckin wrenches and get back to work damn it. I dont fuckin pay you to tippity tap on a computer screen all fuckin day.

This was the same guy who went to the Xiba SA to explain why he is bad, no good lows, etc. I don't even know why people are responding to this. The real problem here is that Lars can do a 96 hit combo and only get 64 damage. WTF #BuffLars

And yes, there are other forums where people express their dislike for this game, but like I said, most of those forum's posts are over 6 months old.

I'll never get this. If I get tired of a game, I put it on the shelf. It happens. I usually do so knowing I'll probably get the itch to play it again later on so it's no big deal. I just go play whatever interests me more at the time.

What I don't do is register on Dustloop to complain about P4A. Or FSD to complain about DOA5, or SRK to complain about SFIV, or TZ to complain about TTT2....

I guess Im just tryin to help the guy cause hes an up and coming mechanic. I do enjoy his threads on that stuff. So I have a special place in my old black heart for this guy.

But god damn it! Theres only so much love I can give before I tell you to fuck off. Which most people here know about already.

I heard if you actually DO go to those sites and bitch about how their game sucks, that they want to give you big hugs and kisses and a warm cup of coffee and sit you down on a leather couch and try to talk out your issues. Cause thats how the rest of the internet works right? Its just this place that all the trolls hide and like to cause trouble.
 
I first played Soul Calibur back in SC2. I was a teenager then, but I could pretty much pick up any game when I was younger than that and handle its complexity. As someone mentioned before me, it's odd that you find SC5 inaccessible, compared to the previous Soul Caliburs. I've never had to "relearn" Soul Calibur. The mechanics are the same. I didn't even have to read the manual for SC5, because I had played the previous Caliburs and pretty much knew the game. Grabs beat guard. Lows beat high guard. Mids beat low guard (or ducking). Sidestep, backstep, forward step. Guard crush, guard impact. Tech crouch, stun, etc. What about this has changed? Brave edges are a new element, but they don't change the basic mechanics. They're just attacks that tend to allow for more damage or, in some cases, a break attack, which isn't anything new. There is no point in addressing your meter management complaint. It's not rocket science man. And by the way, how many other *POPULAR* fighting games use meter??? Have you played Marvel vs. Capcom, King of Fighters XIII, or Persona 4 Arena, just to name a few? As for just guards, memorizing numbers has never been necessary. You can easily learn all of this intuitively––what to punish with, and what is punishable on block. I happen to dislike the CE input as well. It doesn't mix well with characters who have special steps with a 26 input. But as far as the input being difficult, other fighting games have equally difficult inputs, if not even more difficult. Guard crushes, oki situations, and ringouts aren't new, so I don't really see how these elements have affected the frequency of comebacks. And OK, you tried to learn Ivy's CS and failed. Why would you pick one of the most complicated moves in the game, yet alone the most difficult grab, to make a generalization about the inaccesibility of SC5 as a whole??? Tell me, what other grab inputs do you find hard to do, and how many do you find not so hard to do? All you do is press two buttons or set the grab inputs on one of the triggers. Can't believe I'm even pointing this out. The only people who can't do this stuff are nongamers and people who don't know much about computers, like my grandparents. This isn't an issue of Soul Calibur, you just need to learn how to use a controller, like a gamer.

But hey man, I don't take issue with you expressing how you feel. Soul Calibur is an amazing game. I hate that you couldn't find joy in it. And if we're being trolled, then oh well...

first of all, I said JG was easy, and that's not why I don't like it. And second, this isn't trolling.

Game controllers weren't designed for fighting games and 236236 doesn't register very well. Not to mention the damn thing wears out in a few months from all the abuse.

I beg to differ on that one... I do just fine using a PS3 controller when I play fighting games like SC & Tekken. ^^;
I actually don't like using the arcade sticks when it comes to games like that. The only fighting game I don't mind using arcade sticks with is MVC. Other than that, the 3D fighters are playable for me with a game controller.

Also, I don't get the Tekken thing that much. I play both Tekken & Soul Calibur. Both games are good to me. True, Tekken turned into a juggle fest but it is still possible to come up with strategies. Maybe it's because I love 3D fighting games and I don't mind learning characters. But yeah, that's just me. Continue. :)
 
well I got bored with not being able to pay any of the characters that I liked in the older games so I returned the game.

But....... I've really been having the SC itch lately. Probably just going to get the game again. oh well, this is what the community is playing now.
 
Why is it so hard for people to get their point across with out creating masses of unreadable, mind numbing, cancer inducing, poorly written walls of text?

What does SC have anything to do with being a mechanic?

And second, and please don't take offense to this, I got what I wanted out of that mechanic thread. It became obvious to me that you're not quite as good as you think and that taking advise from you would only get me into trouble. Again, please try not to take offense. You tried to help, so your heart was in the right place.

It's just that lately even my teacher has been spewing misinformation and it kinda has me not trusting anyone's word lately. I do my own research, I find out for myself, and I don't ask for help anymore.

Look, you know I like you bro. I just wish you could separate the SC me from the mechanic me, if you know what I mean. I know it's hard, but you can like someone for one reason and dislike them for another.

And lastly, other websites that aren't centered towards the competitive players will most likely have more sc5 haters there, but for the millionth time, those websites rarely have current posts. No, I don't expect to be served hot chocolate and have my feet rubbed, but I can at least expect to find others who have similar viewpoints.
