Gotta be Fulgore
I get what they mean. I had the same issue with MVC3âs easy mode. Even if it does help you get around the sometimes odd or difficult commands, having an assist honestly doesnât do much to stroke the ego and make you feel confident. Itâs kinda the same impression you would get if you were getting training wheels for your bike and while being put on you were asked if you wanted a matching pacifierâŠ
Like, I get that itâs kind of embarrassing to be using it but, I feel like, the joy of beating up your buddies overcomes that. If I were to use UMVC3âs Easy Mode, it would only be versus friends so that I could have a good time. If I was by myself, trying to learn the game, hell no. The training wheels are off.
That being said, I wouldnât use an Easy Mode anyways. Iâd force myself to learn. Like in GGXrd Sign on PC. I donât even know if there is an easy/cam mode, but even if there was, it doesnât matter to me, because I want to be a better player no matter what I play.
Iâm sorry if that read a bit redundant. Iâm just trying to be as clear as possible.
The worst part is, they wonât even pick up a controller to try it. No convincing will get them to budge, and it bugs me because I try out all their games that they want to play. Path of Exile, Dungeon Defenders, FFXIV⊠I didnât like them too much, but I was willing to give them a shot. People are just too closed minded.
I know the feeling. When I was a teenager my brother and I would play KI on the SNES fairly regularlyâŠI would sit there and practice and practice, but when he would start weâd get about 2 games in & then on I couldnât touch him⊠and we both were pretty big into Nintendo games, but when we got older I branched out & played PS & Xbox games, while he has pretty well shunned anything without a Nintendo seal of quality on it. Iâve been trying to get him to play KI for quite some time now (if for no other reason just to straight up kick his ass to repay him for all the KI1 beatings I got), but his response has typically been, " I never really cared for KIâŠthat was more your thing."
Honestly in order for me to get some friends with like interests to play with me, I ended up having to grow them myself, lol. Still, my oldest boy, 12, is sitting in the gold tier right now, and he has a pretty mean ShagoâŠalbeit itâs one of the most irritatingly spamtastic Shagoâs youâll ever play (minus teabagging), but stillâŠ
To be perfectly honest: I heard about it after E3 and was excited for about 30 seconds before I realized it was an Xbone exclusive. I played the game as a kid and loved the characters and music, but I was pretty much only PC gaming by that point and had no inclination to buy a console, much less the Xbone that still had the specter of heavy DRM at that time. From a community building and game recognition perspective: Xbone exclusivity was the WORST POSSIBLE thing they could have done. That is one of the main reasons why the community remains small (the others being high skill bar to entry and limited franchise appeal because of the age of the previous games).
That being said, the game never would have been made without the support from Microsoft since they own all the Rare IPs, so the exclusivity was worth it to get the damn thing made.
As for me, I was kind of excited to see it coming to PC and thought about picking it up on a lark, but then I started hearing the soundtrack (through Little V coves mostly) and watched a couple of tournaments and knew I had to get it and start playing.
Itâll grow with time, probably not much bigger than it is now, but will likely sustain the numbers for a good, long while depending on how supported it is.
The number of platforms a game is on doesnât equal more sales all the time.
