This game worth it?

[CountingGardens]

I'm curious if its worth it to buy this game at 40 bucks.. Cause frankly, I'm tired of dying at Capcom vs SNK 2 all day long because the only people that play are masters. I'm tired of playing scrubs at SvC Chaos who Shin Akuma whore all day, I'm tired of waiting for games in the lag infested GGX2, and KOF: Maximum Impact is loaded with broken crap.

So, is this game worth the fifty dollars? Like, is their a healthy balance of characters and such? I've barely played ANY of the KOF Games (Neither of these) but I enjoy using some of the characters. No one really got too excited over this game, but is it worth the 40 bucks or should I just wait for price drop?

If you're going to get it, GET IT NOW! cause when NeoWave comes out this game will die and ONLY 2003 is playable online, 2002 is lagarific.

IMO it's worth the cash to get it, this is the best online play I've had since Halo 2 KOF 2003's netplay is damned near flawless and dare I say it has THE BEST netplay out of ALL the 2D fighters on XBL.

So yes, it's WELL worth it but hurry up and get it NOW before nobody is on anymore.

[CountingGardens]

I'm actually more worried about getting it before it becomes rare and difficult to find (Not sure if this will happen).

But with all these new SNK titles hitting shelves, all of a sudden.. It makes me a little afraid. Because fighters aren't very popular these days and they're cranking out tons of them. I wonder if they'll be able to stay afloat.

[IceNine]

So the better year of the two is unplayable on Live and Neowave is coming out in Feb? Hmmm, tough choice, I think I'll wait for NW :tup:

[CountingGardens]

Btw.. How bout the balance in this game? In terms of Good Players/Moderate Players/Average players?

[Circular]

It's generally agreed that the game suffers from significant tiering. However, even low-tier characters are played with surprising frequency online.

Quality of players, of course, varies wildly.

I suspect that 2k3 will last online for quite a while. SS5/Zero was pushed back, and NeoWave will arrive at some indeterminate point after that. I don't imagine that 2k3 will have its players siphoned away for quite some time.

[Thoth]

It seems like these days, it's the players in the top 100/150 who play most often. Occasionally I see a newbie or two.

[CountingGardens]

Well, I may rent it first, if anything. I don't want another CvS2 online experience. It seems no matter how many games I play of that, I never get better.

[Mycah Leonhart]

Man last night I fought 10 n00bs, I bullshit you not all of them had N/A for a rank and 0's all the way for stats.

I played this game for like...3 days before I broke then top 150 :clap:

[CountingGardens]

Sounds a lot like the SvC community =P or the maximum impact community.

[SaffronsGhost]

Except neither of those games deserve a community. :tup:

[CountingGardens]

Eh. Maximum Impact isn't horribly broken. Just really, really, really, really broken :pleased:

[danomyte]

you should be able to get kof02-03 for less then $50 or $40. i thinks its down to $30 now. 02 is a good balanced game offline but online it has lag. The controls are stiff however offline also unlike the rom. 03 is ok offline and has an unfinshed feel to it. but online its pretty dam good but it seems the only ppl left have lag! :wasted:

these are also coming out

[SaffronsGhost]

You've gotta be kidding, no one is going to buy 94. :rofl:

[Circular]

I've actually played quite a few new players recently. 2k3 doesn't have the community that 3S or CvS2 has, but most of my games are lagless. I don't hear that from the CvS2 crowd...

[SaffronsGhost]

It's BECAUSE it doesn't have the community that it's "lagless", I think.

[danomyte]

i wouldnt be suprised if 94 outsold 02-03 and SS5 for the xbox. its has to sell more then 18 copies to do so.

why 94 rebout rules
-USA sports team!
-Ryo has an airball(no k isnt the 1st to have one!)
-Real man use Dodge not Roll!
-no bunny hopping(small jumps)
-no iori
-fb/aa weak in 94 not broke like 02/03(you think it would be the other way around)
-the game has glitches,infs,redizzies,and 100% combos! :rock:
-has new high res graphics!!!
-the girls do a striptease when hit with specials! :woot:

[Spooty Whiteboy]

You had me wanting to buy it 'till...

-no bunny hopping(small jumps)
-the game has glitches,infs,redizzies,and 100% combos! :rock:


Fuck that. I hate glitches, infs, redizzies, and 100% combos. On the other hand...it does have Saisyu.

[danomyte]

both 02 and 03 have there fair share of those and i bet 94 is still better balanced!:karate:

Well...glitches don't really bother me. The only infinites in '03 (that I know of) is Duo Lon's and Billy's. And I can't think of a single 100% or re-dizzy.

Although, if enough people in '94 have broken shit...I guess it could be balanced by the brokeness.

[IceNine]

If you look at the boxshot for '94 it doesnt have the Live logo so no online play if thats the official cover.

EDIT: nevermind, its online, the gamestop shot is bogus: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/thekingoffighters94rebout/index.html?q=king%20of%20fighters

the sprites are ugly though, they just put them through some nasty antialiasing filter.

[SaffronsGhost]

What are you talking about?? They look great.

[IceNine]

What are you talking about?? They look great.

they're high res which is great, but all they did was enlarge the low res ones and pipe them through some tool that smoothed them out. thats ok but they didnt touch them up afterwards to smooth out the hard contours in the shading which makes em look weird. granted its a shitload of animation frames to edit but thats just my opinion.

[SaffronsGhost]

They don't look weird.

[IceNine]

thats just my opinion.
