yeah, at least 3S has held a audience of strong players. I love the idea of new fighters, but i'm losing interest in fighters entirely because there is to many. Its like 1995 in this bitch, but nothing is unique and new anymore. UMVC3 and KOF XIII are the best fighters of the last decade. I am really becoming disillusioned by how many games are out, and I suck at them all because I don't wanna invest the time in another fighting game. Fuck it. My most looked forward to game? resident evil 6. I'll be messing a bit with tekken, but its the same story. I won't care about it enough to become legit on any level.
I am having a ball playing games that aren't fighters. I just completed FFXIII-2 recently, and had a great time with that game. Now i'm working on star ocean IV, and soon to be dark souls.
Fighting games are great, but it sucks having to play a game eight hours a day to be any threat to someone who gets them. This shit is purely based on time investment.
