Yeah, it's not like any of those have been coming out or announced this year. Dead genre. I wonder what they were thinking. :wtf:Quote:

Well in fairness, I think the pallid effeminate goth look makes sense for a character like Alucard, or maybe even Soma. I don't know why it rubbed off on the Belmont clan though.Quote:

There's still a ton of good fighting games coming out and as long as the developers have the means to make more of them and people still play them, that's all that really matters to me. I mean, they're not exactly the niche that shooters are. I just thought yawa's statement was particularly insane. Moreso than usual even.
Just the whole idea of a skill-based game that's only 15 minutes long and only two people can play at a time is too alien to gamers that didn't grow up in arcades. It is a genre in decline. It's not going to die, but it's going to end up in the same state shmups are in.
I attended Midwest Challenge two weeks ago.
Trust me, they're dead.
SHUT UP :(
edit: lol @ TNL editing my all caps post, wtf is this shit
