is one button combo going to be the future of fighting games? videogame has become a casual hobby to the point you cant release any games dedicated to a specific fanbase without getting bad reception. this newcomer friendly bullshit is killing competitive gaming and sponsors backing this up need to be killed

What a surprise.
This one was actually surprise because... Sony literally didn't try a single time as these games are on all platforms or are 3rd party anyway.

Tekken 7 has ONLY 32 reviews so far, just wait until it reaches 80 lmao.

>>378856423

Let's be honest, after all the shit Sonygros shoved in everyone's faces for the last 4 years who gives a fuck if they're getting hate?
Plus if it wasn't for their brand loyalty paid online wouldn't be a a standard for consoles.

This is why we need a Sony containment board for you people.

That's funny considering tr4sh is literally one of the worst games ever made (purely from a fighting game viewpoint, it's fun casually).

It's the "muh single player content" crowd. Fighting games only need a versus mode and a training mode, that's it. Though why anyone would play a multiplayer focused genre for non-multiplayer purposes is anyone's guess.

Feels good, Injustice 2 is amazing. Sets the bar for single player content in a fighting game.

I think that smash is a fighting game.
However, it is at a crossroads.
The core design was too close to defense.
It is necessary to make efforts to make the game proceed more aggressively.

>Much like the Switch this number also excludes any ooold pre-2000's remakes/re-releases

I guess.. you can take the award for best fighting game of the gen. Doesn't seem like much when it's the only thing you'll be playing within the genre for the better part of the console's life.

>>378860527

It has always meant something. I unironically only play games based on their metacritic scores, and every time I finish a game I understand why it got the ratings it got. I have yet to find a game that I play and think "this is a masterpiece" and then find metacritic scores that doesn't agree with me.

For example when I played metroid prime I thought it was one of the best games I ever played, looked it up and what do you know.

The only people who disagree with metacritic are the shit taste retards who are butthurt the reviews expose the fact they have shit taste / are objectively statistically wrong.

Yes,
killer instict is the most carefully addressed fighting game,
except for the height of the threshold due to the complexity of that combo.

Although it is natural that the longer the period, the lower the evaluation falls.

This is why you see this abhorrent behavior from Switch apologists. No matter how many recently released games you show them, they'll PROTECT their ONE game that scored HIGHER than ANY OF THOSE OTHERS and thus they "WIN" !!!

They'd rather have one game with 5 more Metacritic points than 12 games with 5 fewer Metacritic points.

It has 86 by critics and 54 by users, which when used to calculate the average mean would make the game a 7/10

You seriously think critics have access to some wiseness not accessible for us mere mortals? They are your most avarage gamers and most of them are even casuals who are only "professional" in writing articles, not playing games or being able to find value in them.

Sure obviously good and bad games will get right scores on metacritics but anything else is debatable and mostly a matter of luck wheter these specific critics will love some shit or not.

This rating honestly shouldn't surprise anyone. Fighting games take massive amounts of dedication and skill to get into. Honestly, the only reason these games are even getting into the 80s range is because they look pretty and I'm sure most of these reviewers are pissing their pants at the thought of pissing off the FGC and EVO-goers.

The characters even have similar inputs to MK ones.

How dumb do you have to be to deny this fact?

>>378866802
Because if you actually played both games you'd know it's not just "MK with a DC skin" like you want people to believe. They're hardly alike aside from the combo system. I actually own MKX and IJ2, do you? Or do you watch youtubers and letsplayers then pretend to be an expert about the game? Oh wait I forgot where I am.

After putting in hundreds of hours into smash 4 I can confidently say this thread is a shitpost, it's not even in the top 5, typical Nintentoddler desperation

You're a fucking retard. What kind of fucking inferiortycomplex do you have to have in order to think like this? Might as well say CNN called Trump a literal Nazi, and since many of them are professionals, it's true. Fucking retarded idiot.

This gen is looking pretty great with 5 fighting games released.

You know this board was pretty not shitty yesterday and I was almost thinking it'd turned a corner since i'd been a way a couple months and now here's these threads again with people's screencaps of their browser window. You always know a thread that's a screencap of a website let alone metacritic is guaranteed trash.
