, so I jumped ship over to MK and Primal Rage for a while, then straight to the Alpha series.

I mostly dabbled with '95 at the time.)Quote:

You have a point with KoF. There are too many filler games between the good ones. I think I'm going to give Blaz Blue a shot when the PC version comes out. I have to admit that all this MK activity is interesting though.
If they can roll the feel this thing back to Mortal Kombat II/UMK3 and build on that, the game could be really special --I'm not sure anybody can properly replicate that slightly crazy mood that was running through Midway's programmers back in the early/mid 90s, though*!
(*that godly streak that included Smash TV, Terminator 2, MK, MK2, High Impact Football, Trog, Total Carnage, etc; they were hard to touch for a while there. Ultimate MK3 was probably the end of all that. By 1999 they were making some sad-ass bullshit.)
I like the good KoFs a lot, but I can't get anybody to play that shit. Live is DEAD for UM 98, you will time to time get some Mexican's but that's about it no one on srk plays it either. Yoshi why would you buy the PC version of BB do you like having no one to play with?
I basically want to dick around with it and see it. I don't have time to get any good at any of these new fangled fighting games and usually am not able to be online when lots of others are, due to toddler wrangling and early work.
It might also be that it's a 20 year old game which seems creaky and limited compared to its 23 sequels and is aimed squarely at nostalgics who know every in and out of it and don't want to give it up. Can't be sure though.Quote:

EDIT: I should also say, I don't even dislike this game, I was there from the first SFII all the way through, I just don't think it's great to watch the poke spam and throw traps of high level play. If you can beat Daigo with a cheesy string of inescapable throws that doesn't strike me as flawless design. I'm not sure why they'd put all that effort into balancing the game but leave that in.
You nasty.Quote:
