KOF XII

I feel like the online was working slightly better last night... I was actually able to play some good games.

As far as the total package goes, this game seems basically half finished... You don't get much in the way of features or single player at all. It's as bare bones as an XBLA game.

But as far as just the gameplay itself, I think it's a pretty good game. The characters are pretty fun and the balance seems alright...

Overall though, it's not worth $60 as it is right now... They need to hook up some free DLC features for this game or it won't sell... If you can't play online, then it's worthless... It's basically practice mode and the worst AI you'll ever see.

 

I've never seen a game get a reaction this negative from even its hardcore fans...

They are literally lighting up the Ignition boards with complaints by the hundreds, if not thousands...

They're pretty much ready to go to Japan and burn SNK down...

 

We should of done the same with VF5R......Oh wait. On the reals, SNK needs this type of heat, this is do or die for this franchise, or better yet, their rep. If they don't fix that netcode and give fans some good worthy DLC, SNK is done. I don't see people jumping to another KOF after this mess. This was the perfect year to establish your franchise to the masses. Is not very often you get a opportunity like this SNK.

 

I'm hearing lots of mixed reactions to this title, i'm considering buying a region free version for my 360 and will do so "if" the core gameplay offline 2v2 is solid.

I've got a pretty decent community going for fighters and alot of us are looking forward to KoFXII, now I wasn't expecting too much of an upgrade latency wise since KoF98UM and Garou, however that being said i still reckon if the core engine is good enough it's worth a purchase and whatever DLC and fixes happen in the future, happen and if not then ce la ve i'll just have another fighter to play when i get tired of one of the many fighters I now have piled up on my Xboss

and btw with MVC2 launching yesterday for XBL I have played near lagless games with folks from the states and I would have to say this is looking to be the best online experience i've had, topples HDR.

 

The SS2THD Netcode was good as hell and Now MVC2HD followed suit lovely. SNK had a chance blew it perfectly. Hopefully in 14 they get it right and just good back to the essence if people are still interested.

 

Love all this talk about the netcode... it's hardly the most important aspect of a game.

 

feck, I gave up reading people cries...

 

Finding players to play with is, and this game is certainly not making it easy to find it.

 

Not sure that holds true anymore...

I think it matters very much.

 

connection is fine as long as I play people from the same state

 

Only a fucking idiot would say some dumb shit about the online not mattering in a 60 dollar rush job especially living as far they do. What else is there to talk about in this game? Nothing cause this shit is weak.

Oh Really? So whats this post about? what are you reading to hear about? How good the game ain't.

 

I had read that the PS3 version's online got patched, and supposedly a 360 online patch is coming soon.

 

They're working on more patches, but by the time everything gets completely fixed, no one will care anymore.

It'll be Tekken Time.

 

The "patch" didn't fix the problem for either system... The PS3 patch was 750MBs too... I have 360 but the netcode isn't fixed.

There doesn't seem to be any time-line for a true fix either. Just some corporate lip service...

 

THIS.

 

Play vf5 offline then.

+ i've never seen a game take a beating since Rise of the robots. lol

 

Fuck that off, that game was sick

 

I never said it didn't matter, just love how people in here are talking about it as if online is the most important feature in a game.

To me the quality of the actual gameplay is the most important thing but whatever... different strokes for different folks.

 

I don't you'd even be here if VF5 wasn't online Feck...
