Ugh. So much going on here. First, don’t believe everything you read. Yes, sometimes leaks turn out to be real. Far more often they turn out to be fake. I think Reddit should have to post a big disclaimer at the top of every thread saying “90% of what you see in here is BS.”
As far as leaks and rumors, I wouldn’t presume for a second that anyone on the dev team is really that gung ho about preventing discussion of these things. After all, we can all run off to Twitter Or Reddit or Shoryuken or wherever and talk until our hearts content. But when the larger organization has a big reveal planned for a specific event, then they are told to not facilitate the spread of rumors that will distract or undermine the big reveal. So they do what they can. I have said before I think the TOU reference is beyond weak, but at the end of the day this is their forum. They can boot you for whatever reason - and that is their right.
These forums are a tremendous resource for the game and we forget how much info we get on here. Anytime I run into someone who plays the game and doesn’t participate in the forums I’m always filling them in on a ton of information. Part of the price for that info is an obligation to be responsible and contribute to the community. That means posting rumors and then saying “if they close the thread it’s true, if not its false” is not only childish, it’s bad faith participation in the community. This isn’t some middle school…
Absolutely. My wife plays KI, loves KI, but doesn’t frequent the forums because she’s a VHS collector and mainly frequents forums related to that topic. So I’m her source for all things KI, and 90% of that is facilitated by info I get here (the remainder pops up on Twitter).
I wonder what it must be like for the staff when something that gets leaked is real and everyone just bashed how stupid it is lol. I wonder if they are like oh man I think we fd up here guys lol.
Because he would be an exclusive character. Kratos was PS3 exclusive for MK 9, and was banned from tournaments. Fulgore would be the same if he is exclusive for xbox(and he should be)
Honestly I would like a shadow orchid plus the fact that it has a lore reason to is cool I mean it makes sense and I’m curious to see how that would make her in shadow form as well as see what new moves they give her
Shadow Orchid: Unlike what most people here thinks, if she plays differently than her non-shadow, then I don’t think is lazy ( maybe a style similar to Maki from CvS2 ).Also, LASAKEN!!!
Choosing Ramon over Joanna: Make sense, I still prefer Joanna ( lot’s of games have/had bad sequels and still comes back with a better one <—for the “but the PDZ sucked” crowd).
E3 is around the corner, can’t wait to hear official info about KI.
But all of this is a bunch of stuff real already know. Seems like the guy just took leaked confirmed info and made it his own. Then made up stuff about Conker and Perfect Dark.
Again he’s not “daring” them to intervene, he’s stating “if this thread is locked then I know it’s real” etc.
If me and a police officer are in a stand off position with guns, then daring him to do something would be akin to shouting or saying something to the effect of “come and shoot me then, bet you can’t” etc.
To dare is to goad one into a reaction, which this user did not do.
Again he didn’t break the rules so I’m unsure as to why you think he deserves a warning? As a point of interest I’m hoping that the mods/admins can become slightly lenient in this area. I mean what happens when you start warning and banning people left right and centre? People want to feel relaxed and not like they’re walking on egg shells every time they have an opinion that’s ever so slightly different to someone else’s.
