Dude, why does Sammy/ASW feel the need to release a Guilty Gear game every other month? This shit is getting stupid now.

We don't need an update every time you tweak the fucking game.

I wish Sammy/ASW would just create another series or something.

Sounds interesting enough, the part about manually turning is odd. I wonder if that counts for faultless defense too. o_O

Guilty Gear X Series: Newest Version
Sounds like even Sammy knows its fucking GOUGING the fans. They didn't even bother with a relevant title. Anyone who buys this is a feeb.

I don't know, I think it is kind of a funny title... I like it! Kind of an Engrish side joke of all the SF2 iterations. Anyway, Atomiswave is fucking cheap as hell... $500 or so for Guilty Gear XX kit these days with mainboard. Can't argue with that if you enjoy the games, or for Arcade ops for that matter. I keep telling myself I should grab an Atomiswave sometime soon, before some amazing software gets released and the price just skyrockets. Anyway,

spock

Street Fighter 2
King of Fighters

Two series that have more than enough sequels with updates smaller than the ones they put in the new GGX game to be called "gouging the fans".

I'm sure you own more than your fair share of those titles, so please call a spade a spade.

As for the game itself, well I hate the multi-plane stuff in Fatal Fury and I don't see myself liking it much in GGX. Manual Turning just sounds so friggin wierd I donno how well it's going to work.

Definitely going to have to be a "try before I buy" title.

At least they are bringing a different dynamic to the game with the 2 line system instead of it being the same with just new backgrounds.

I like GG & GGX, its ok.

I think GGXX is an okay fighter at best. It is flashy as all hell and fun to watch, but it never really did it for me. But 4 player, 2 plane combat for some reason has peaked my interest in this. If it is done right I could see this game doing quite well.

*sigh*

As per your USUAL reply, JHendrix, you again put 2+2 together and somehow got 5. You didn't even bother to really read my post did you?

I commented on the fact that the title for the game simply says "Newest version" as in "Hey, its the newest version of Guilty Gear, we all know you're going to buy it, and you'll buy the next GG game too, it'll be called 'Newer Version'". At least Capcom comes up with a ridiculous title with every installment of Street Fighter.

I never said gouging the customer was something Sammy and Sammy alone practiced.

You beat me to it. All except not liking the multi-plane setup. I always thought that was a kind cool addition to a 2D fighter (it's about as 3D as some early "3D" fighters were, since they only used a side step move and not actually allow you to run around in a 3D environment).

So now you were just commenting on the title, despite the fact that the article said it was tenative.

Of course you mention that Sammy is GOUGING the fans and anyone who buys it is a "feeb".

But obviously you understand that Capcom and SNK are both capable of gouging the fans, but you've probably bought plenty of their equivalent titles. Guess that would make you a "feeb" along with the rest of us eh? shame

Oh ho, your powers of inference are ASTOUNDING.

No, you're a feeb if you buy GG because of it's engine or character design...or music...or presentation...or basically any aspect of the game.

Right so first you were saying they're gouging the fans, but I'm guessing that's OK since Capcom and SNK have done it countless times.

Then you were just making fun of the name, despite the fact that it was tentative.

Now you're trashing it because you don't like the game's next-gen 2D graphics, new and fresh character designs, hard-metal type music, slick presentation, and the fact that it's one of the most innovative 2D fighters to come out in years...

Right, your opinion sucks, thanks for clearing that up for me. wink

I love fighters and I will surely get this game. I don't care that they release a new version every couple of months. Guilty Gear is a great series that people need to check out.

Right so first you'll:

1) Breakdown an argument as it has proceeded thus far, drawing a thin line between each post as if everyone on this BBS really has points to prove every single thread.

2) Analyze it as per your warped brain and stubborn attitude.

3) Post said analyzation for all to see and no one to care about.

WELCOME TO JHENDRIX ACADEMY.

Yeah I hate GG, get over it.

The inclusion of all new BG's and characters, plus the dual-plane shifting and the turn-around button would be enough to warrant calling it a different game I think.

The BG's at least would have to be new, to allow for the plane shifting, and there would also have to be some sprite redesigning to reflect the characters changing planes.

Sounds interesting anyway.

I frankly don't know what the lesser of two evils is...pimping slight revisions of a game while it's hot (GGXX), or milking the fans of a dead game company by pushing out a corpse under a heat lamp with some fresh makeup (SvC).

Honestly, I think 2D fans are just kinda fucked now. Be it SNES remakes on the GBA, or recyclables from Playmore on the Neo, has ANYONE drawn a new sprite lately? Besides those lovely bastards at Konami (hugs and kisses, keep the Castlevanias coming).

This thread is like two folks on the Titanic bitching about who's deck chair is prettier.
Soon, we won't even have shitty 2D games to complain about.

*hustles off the score a new GBA-SP on which to play FFTA.

Heh heh.

Nice quote.

Just got back from the arcade, I somehow managed to kick some guy's ass at GGXX:Reloaded (or whatever it's called). I spent all last night dicking around with Baiken on my DC version of GGX (or whatever it's called).

I like Baiken, she's a katana wielding Japanese prostitute missing an arm and an eye.

That's my kinda woman.

Anyway my extremely mad Samurai Spirits skillz were enough to kick this GG fanboy's ass. He'd throw a combo at me, I'd block it, then hit him with a HS, lather rinse repeat.

Again, GG's no SS, but it's still entertaining.

You people are forgetting the most important new thing: 4 players simultaneously! That's why there are 2 planes a la Fatal Fury (it would be confusing having all 4 fighters at the same time in the same plane during all the fight), and you need to use a button to change facing, in case you have one opponent on each side.
So this is just a multiplayer version of GGXX and that's all.

WELCOME TO JHENDRIX ACADEMY.

1) Breakdown an argument as it has proceeded thus far, drawing a thin line between each post as if everyone on this BBS really has points to prove every single thread.
I'll "breakdown an argument" like yours when it's OBVIOUSLY full of holes and served no point other than being a flawed way of saying "I hate guilty gear".

2) Analyze it as per your warped brain and stubborn attitude.
Funny I didn't realize using LOGIC was having a warped brain. You put up bullshit and I called you on it, you tried to defend with more bullshit, and I called it on you again. You've got no way to defend yourself, your ideas are flawed and you can't seem to proove otherwise. And I'm not stubborn, I just haven't seen anyone point out one damn good reason WHY this sequel is a bad idea or is flawed in anyway other than the "tenative" title.

3) Post said analyzation for all to see and no one to care about.
God damn Watson you've solved the case! Welcome to the FUCKING INTERNET! I've got news for you, no one gives a shit what ANYONE posts on a forum, it's where you go to argue about stupid shit like videogames.

You don't like Guilty Gear, your loss not mine. I love the series, as do the people I play against every other weekend. And the thing is I know it's not some anomaly where I like some shitty game. WHY? Because if it was some shitty game there wouldn't be tournaments in the US and Japan with tons of people playing the game at a high level.

But that's OK they must all be idiots because YOU don't like Guilty Gear. :rolleyes:
