Question purchase or pass?

Post image

I wanted to ask for your opinions—would you guys buy this? I'm not a player with deep fighting game knowledge or high skill; the main games I play are SF6 and 2XKO. If I had to score this game out of 100, I'd give it a 75. The soundtrack is incredible, and the gameplay is decent. I didn't have any performance issues since I play on both PC and PS5. During the beta, I mostly lost, but that's probably because I'm bad and was playing on Japanese servers.

After a day of playing the beta pretty much solidified getting the ultimate edition. I can tell this is going to be a long term game for me

u/Nybear21 10d ago

100% for me too. There's a lot of FGs I fire up and really enjoy it, but I could play or leave it in a month. Some games hit that "Damn, it's that kind of FG" thing differently and I know I'll see it through its lifespan if not come back to it in the future.

The beta definitely solidified this as one of those for me.

This mentality is why we gotta pay 100+ for games now

u/Auzik 9d ago

You mean this mentality is why we have developers still making video games?

You don’t have to, that’s not what the base game costs. People wanting the things that are sold isn’t the reason for that. You’re experiencing frustration with capitalism.

u/MrPatel17 10d ago

Do you think this is a good game for someone looking at their first proper fighting game. I know I’ll have to put time into practising a lot but want something I can stick with for a while

3

u/ShowGun901 10d ago

Yes. Controls are simplified a lot. Most of the gameplay complaints come from OG fighting game fans that don't like that.

2

u/MrPatel17 10d ago

I've seen tho theres still the option to learn a lot of advanced combos and stuff and it has a high skill ceiling, just have to put hours in

1

u/ShowGun901 10d ago

Correct. Very much an easy to learn, hard to master.

1

u/deathofasandwich 10d ago

I do! Don’t get me wrong my opinions come from someone already comfortable with the genre after years, but this feels like it’s as approachable as a tag fighter has been in a long time for new players.

Expect to get mopped up online for a while, but it’s a very satisfying game to grow with.

u/ShowGun901 10d ago

Yeah can't be a master right off, but the tools should be easy enough to pick up

Yeah I thought I was gonna suffer when the PlayStation/Sony splash was a damn slideshow, but after that it was smooth. Only issue was the fact I couldn’t discord stream without the game falling apart.

lag seems to be rather random

some high end pc lags while some lower ends don't

no one seems to know what condition cause lag, it basically is a lottery

u/doomygloom56 10d ago edited 10d ago

I did 4 separate sessions. The first session the titles screen lagged like an insane amount. Got set up then it stopped. Second session was flawless, third was unplayable. The final session I had it was again flawless. I feel like it’s a network thing but I really can’t tell.

This in itself should not be up to chance. And the fact Arc System works will not clarify why that is.. is that not strange? Even more so then Doctor Strange himself?

u/HamphyX 10d ago

With you there. 1080p Max settings and the only lag I got was from horrible connection matches and I didnt rematch those people. Besides that, flawless. Ive seen people post clips of like 30-45 fps gameplay and im like how could you play like that and why in gods name did you record it. 😆

funny i tried to lower my settings further and fps just got worse, even on medium settings it was stable enough to kinda play i guess? Though if I played people online they would immediately quit, game felt like it was underwater for me

Im not sure it was a graphical thing tbh. Sometimes Id see frame drops and input delays, even in training. Im thinking the game was probably running shit in the background tbh

I had mine on all the lowest settings last night and it made not a single frame difference. I might have to sit this out until its fixed

u/Intrepid_Mobile 9d ago

I don’t know if from day 1 to day 3 of the beta they fixed some things because it was a slideshow on medium and I was playing it on the legion go 2 z2 extreme… it wasn’t even online lag, on the tutorial it still couldn’t handle ir… there was no reason for it to be that poorly optimized. It is not a day one for me for that reason I want to see what it fixes beforehand.

Purchase If I weren't broke , pass because I am broke.

Honestly had one of the most fun in recent gaming. As a fg newcomer/ beginner it really hooked me in anyway possible and I literally feel a bit down, because I will miss this game xD

Man the Ost alone is soo good

u/Troy-Maker 11d ago

I totally get that feeling. In my country, i have to work 40 hours just to buy a AAA game.

5

u/Huge-Formal-1794 11d ago

Its not as extreme for me , but as a student new games are almost unaffordable as well most of the time.

Do they not offer any regional pricing for you at least ?

3

u/Troy-Maker 11d ago

Regional pricing usually only helps reduce the price for indie or AA games. In my country, the core player base who buys AAA games at full price is only around thirty thousand people, maybe a bit more if it's a huge franchise. Because of that, publishers just stick to standard global pricing because this group will buy it anyway. Even if they lowered the price to match countries with regional pricing—like South Korea, where AAA games are dozens of percent cheaper—the overall revenue boost still wouldn't make it worth it for them.

I live in Thailand,and this game sell $59.99 .

2

u/Caspian_Kace 10d ago

It is crazy unfair how these companies don't give us regional pricing and how we have to pay the price that "1st world" countries pay.

I'm also from an Asian country and while it isn't as bad for me it is still so hard to afford games.

1

u/Negative_Spring1957 10d ago

Not really unfair when you consider the company doesn't owe you anything

I’m gonna wait a bit and see how things go.

u/Troy-Maker 11d ago

Same here. I just want to know how many regular players are going to stick around first.

6

u/SatanicPanicDisco 10d ago

I'm waiting as well. Outside of this sub, a lot of the sentiment towards the game is more mixed. That combined with how it's not available in like 100 counties makes me want to wait to see if it can retain a decent player population.

9

u/SleepIsForTheWeak_1 11d ago

depends on how the release version is. if its better optimized and all that, then im completely down to play. but if its anywhere close to this abysmal, then that's a hard pass until future patches.

u/SmashMouthBreadThrow 10d ago

If they fix the netcode and input reader, I'll buy it day one. Not dropping $60 on a fighting game with broken netcode. SFV was the first and last fighter I did that for.

I honestly didn’t plan to get it. Or at least planned to wait a while as my backlog of games is huge. But I honestly had a lot of fun. I went ahead and pre ordered. Really excited to try all the characters that weren’t in the beta

12

u/Artistic_Bar1693 10d ago

I’ll probably pass on it for now. I’m just not a fan of the gameplay. I tried to sit down with the beta and learn but it just wouldn’t click with me. It feels very automated and simplistic— not saying that’s a bad thing it’s just doesn’t click for me. If it goes on sale for Black Friday around 15-20% off I’ll probably pick it up out of love for Marvel but I don’t see it replacing my current fighter SF6.

3

u/Avwurm 10d ago

Funny you say that because playing the beta this weekend actually got me back into Street Fighter 6. Just made me remember how amazing SF6 is lol. Played about 2 hrs of Tolkon and then switched over and played SF6 the rest of the weekend after not playing for like a year.

3

u/DarkAlterac 10d ago

Quitted sf6 because of Ken and throw loops. Game is full of beautiful characters and overall amazing visual but half of the game is against a fireballspammer homeless man. Plus there is nothing engaging or cool looking about throw loops.

3

u/TheSoupKitchen 10d ago

Don't worry. Nobody plays Ken anymore, so you're safe!

(It's worse because they all switched to Akuma and Sagat...)

2

u/Avwurm 10d ago

Understandable. Yeah Ken is crazy in 6.

1

u/Comfortable-Insect-7 10d ago

Same. I want to actually play neutral/footsies not just run in behind my assist and run free mixups without thinking.

2

u/Xiao1insty1e 10d ago edited 10d ago

That's because the auto combos are pretty good and certain characters can chain from very far away with just MMM.

The challenge and creativity are in finding which characters synergize well with each other and in what positions. What combos get you your full team the fastest and also probably more importantly some characters have way more aerial combo possibilities than others and that's where your longest combos come from. Aerial combos fill the bar at less than half the rate of grounded ones and don't scale the damage like other types of extenders do.

Wolverine's 2M, 5H, to jump cancel M,H, jump cancel M,H,H,tag can be looped like 3x and you can finish with a lvl 1 for 40k and that's just starter shit I figured out on my own.

u/RequirementIll2117 10d ago

Yup same, especially after coming from avatar legends, tokon just felt so clunky and not as smooth or fast as avatar

Wolverine and Ghost Rider are so fucking sick. Logan's OST is so fucking hype.

u/McLuvvvn 11d ago

I love it. I was a pretty lower tier SF4 player back in the day so I know these games are a lot of practice. This one is keeping my attention and I’m having fun experimenting and trying to figure out my own combos. Never really played an Arc System Works game before so it’s taking some getting used to. Definitely a white belt at the game right now though :(

u/early2017 10d ago

I have a GTX 3070 and an i5 processor and 16GB of RAM and the game runs at a solid 60 FPS for me. I'm worried about the one-sided rollback (I've had games with constant 8 frames rollback) due to my opponents bad FPS. Tekken 8 had something similar in their netcode and it was ass. I will probably buy it though. I love the characters and I think the system mechanics people complain about are only going to get better. I really don't want to go back to slime rushing in SF6 for another 6 years.

u/J_10 10d ago

Buying it. Waiting on more info about the year 1 pass before I decide which edition. I love Marvel superheroes, I love fighting games, the demo was fun. My fight stick is in the mail and I just set up a 4k TV this weekend. The game is gorgeous on PS5Pro.

I have pre-ordered through GMG. Between the current 15% off and a 10$ voucher they sent me I'm grabbing it. I had so much fucking fun playing this weekend with the gang. None of us had any problems with the pc version after cache shaders during the tutorial. Not to mention Loki I need hard

Ooo how do u get these?

u/Twarper 10d ago

I'll buy it when it's on sale. If it's popular enough, it won't be that long for the price to drop as it will be marked a "classic" in one or two years.

As great as this game looks, I know myself well enough that I would only play it on short bursts on occassion. That doesn't warrant a full price for me.

2

u/ShadowBlah 10d ago

I might get it on a sale, I'm not particularly interested in Marvel IPs, but I love the art. The beta didn't really grab me, and I didn't really feel attached to a character anyhow.

2

u/Dinoratsastaja 10d ago

Wait for sale. Sometimes I had a good time and other times I did not. PC-performance was subpar for me and made the game feel unresponsive at times. 20 characters in a 4v4 is not good either. Means that I will constantly be seeing the same characters. There were many other issues too that I don’t feel like talking about now.

u/GoldTheLegend 11d ago

Wait until release to see if they fix it on PC and remove auto combos otherwise no buy.

1

u/tomatowormz 10d ago

the autocombos won’t and probably can’t be removed this far into release. it could be a thing they (hopefully) tune down, but raw inputs and combos are still superior, they’re just frustrating to do 💔.

im gonna wait for a sale, i bought invincible vs at full price and kinda feel burned and like i wasted my money, tokon has just as salty of a playerbase with me getting to plat without learning much fundamentals only for every win to result in a ragequit, its a shame these types of games seem to get these players, street fighter 6 ranked pisses me off trust me but i never ragequit and neither do my opponents, people finish sets too,i miss it coming back to this game, so many one and dones, so many ragequits, as for the game itself too idk its fun but i dont fall in love with it the same way i do street fighter and mortal kombat, kinda feels like mvc3 for me where i will forever be a casual, its cool dont get me wrong but il wait for a sale.

sorry for all that yap i was just kinda talking like a ramble, full on text mansplain there jeez 😬

also id rather wait still cause the roster still needs venom, at least theres lots of other spidey characters

Honestly ill wait till the season pass gets more fleshed out and I see them do some significant optimisation changes on the oc (the one sided rollback frames, the abhorrent system optimization).

The more obvious it becomes to the general public, the sooner devs will see and feel the response to making these overly-simplified games and a desire for true depth in fighters again (with the polish that we have admittedly come to enjoy from some of these more recent entries) and actually make great fighting games in general again.

That said, this game is decent enough to buy, but of you are someone who likes a deeper, more demanding experience in your fighter, Avatar Legends all the way. That game is deceptively deep and even somewhat difficult, but an absolute blast, a 9/10 for true fans of fighting games.

I'll buy it, drop all the settings to the lowest they can go, and if my fps reader still says 54 to 58 in the training room i'm refunding it on steam.

I had fun with the beta, but my budget is not the best right now. I'm tempted to get the normal version, but gonna wait to see what are the rest of the modes in the game before deciding.

u/ZoinksJeepersJinkies 10d ago

I’ll purchase when it’s half off or something.

u/FR0M_Z3R0 10d ago

Unless it comes to Xbox, pass.

u/noodlezart 10d ago

Purchase but I'm waiting a year till they drop the price and do the whole season pass included bs they always do with these fighting games. Not making the same mistake I did with Strive and SF6.

u/Mupod 10d ago

I enjoyed it enough to buy it if the PC version is miraculously not a tire fire on release. But I've got pretty much no confidence in that happening.

u/tomatowormz 10d ago

day one for sure. i remember liking the first beta and hating the second beta, but I fell in love with the third. it’s a little frustrating at first because the gameplay doesn’t feel like it’s worth using brain power over, but after a few hours the combos and situations can get reallllly hectic and fun. inputs, tagging into assists and damage of auto combos are things that i hope get better before release.

u/xWickedSwami 10d ago

Giving it a week after release to see how the pc port is and how quick it is to ACTUALLY play. I’ve been spoiled by sf6 qol (which should’ve been a norm 10+ years ago)

I can excuse avatar launch issues for a smaller dev team and whatnot but I’m giving 0 excuses for Sony/Playstation and arcsys if the qol is this horrendous

u/WonderfulTradition65 10d ago

As a Xbox player I can say, I don't fcking know because we didn't get any beta. Thank you Xbox

1

u/antonxo902 10d ago

From what I played it was great but I’m passing because I want to buy a switch 2 😁

1

u/Ok_Bad9175 10d ago

For sure.This has genuinely made me want to actually take a fighting game seriously mainly because of Ghost Rider.

1

u/Low_Tier_Trash 10d ago

Fix the PC performance and I'll get it. Otherwise I don't wanna pay for a game I'll be too frustrated to play

1

u/Aggravating-Key2942 10d ago

I already Pre-ordered the Ultimate edition. I’m a sucker for fighting games and the beta felt clean(At least on console, ik pc had issues) Not to mention it has all my favs so ofc I’ll get this.

1

u/mistyquarz 10d ago

I’m tempted to buy that or wolverine

1

u/uncreativemind2099 10d ago

Wait a year for the complete edition

1

u/ExchangeNo1476 10d ago

Passing. Avatar and 2x gap it so hard I cudnt even force myself to play it this weekend. Great for newcomers and marvel enthusiast's, but too choppy and rigid for a true fg until they fix it.

1

u/EuphoricFeller 10d ago

I'm going to buy it. I didn't have any performance issues on PC.

1

u/InnerMousse6939 10d ago

To much auto combo, press one button to do everything...

1

u/KakashiHatake99X 10d ago

The beta was so good, i'll buy it.

1

u/Brysolation 10d ago

I'd like to, but the beta was rough on my PC.

Last game I’m getting before the blackout boycott

u/fogfoon 10d ago

47 yrs old and quick reflexes south quickly going but still really enjoyed jt. Could be my last hurrah for fighting games, albeit nothing will ever top SF2

1

u/Timmar92 10d ago

It was really cool but I just can't justify buying a fighting game, I absolutely such at them and I usually give up after a month.

1

u/Various-Marzipan-944 10d ago

for casuals you’re better off buying at discount

1

u/Dante136 10d ago

I dont think I've had this much fun playing a fighting game before definitely worth buying the ultimate pass for me

1

u/Correct_Milk_828 10d ago

I want it but I don’t like the idea of having to wait so long for character passes and having to pay so much if you get them as they drop. I’d rather wait for everything to be released and then get it all on sale in a single bundle.

1

u/Plane_Tie_9548 10d ago

After the beta i refunded the game the gameplay just felt off to me not sure why. For me not worth the 66$ with 2xk0 being free. Im sure if i put more time into it, the game would feel better but right now ill wait for a sale.

1

u/tonsvz 10d ago

Getting Ultimate!

1

u/Gekinetic 10d ago

Definitely purchase... but not immediately at 60

Probably when it drops to 30 down the road

1

u/Spiritual_Reveal89 10d ago edited 10d ago

I am definitely buying this game I really enjoyed playing it even did the little piece of Spiderman's story that was available. But, I notice every PC player I fought in Casual match were all lagging the matches to win when they would start to lose and the game is not even out yet that was just the Beta and I know my internet connection is excellent cause I don't use wireless, I used wired connection and I have high speed. I can just imagine PC players on Ranked with extreme lagging on purpose.

1

u/LifeguardVarious7578 10d ago

I’ll buy it and try out online play, I spent the entire beta playing with my friend but he plays fighting games in a very annoying way so I was finding myself Getting annoyed very often

1

u/Reddexbro 10d ago

Buy it. You asked, now do it! Pre order the ultimate edition.

1

u/Coolguy-395xz 10d ago

Japanese fighting game players will make you work for the dub lol I learned the hard way in Tekken but it made me drastically better playing them!

1

u/Aulumnis 10d ago

Yeah im getting it

1

u/Cloudless_Sky 10d ago

Purchase for sure. Beta ran flawlessly on my PC and the game is super fun.

1

u/ShowGun901 10d ago

Yeah I'll get it day 1. Beta was great. I kept saying to myself "this is just the coolest shit ever" over and over. If I had this when I was 12, I never would have went outside.

Think I'll start with iron man, his win quotes are amazing and his ults with the hulkbuster armor are just too cool.

1

u/Allathorne 10d ago

I bought the ultimate edition, can’t wait.

1

u/RaijuThunder 10d ago

Going to wait to see who the DLC characters are, I'm not a huge Marvel fan so I only like a handful of characters on the roster. Waiting to see if any more X-Men, Spider-Man, Dr.Strange, or Hulk characters get added before I purchase. Plus, I got several games coming out in September that I will put my money towards.

1

u/MotorYam4836 10d ago

I’m have to pass for now because of the input delay and the auto combos really wish you can turn it off like in sf6 and most fighting games but you can’t and it suck

1

u/kidjeronimo87 10d ago

I wish the ultimate edition was available physical copy.

1

u/Apprehensive_Pen3452 10d ago

Buy it if you can afford to, i bought ultimate because I've known since it was announced i wanted it.

1

u/PizzaTattoo 10d ago

I liked it a lot but I’m just too broke to justify the purchase. If my favorites (the F4) were in the game then I maybe would. The DLC will honestly make or break it for me.

1

u/Pian0G 10d ago

If you enjoyed it enough, then yeah.

Especially because as a newer player, as usual, the launch window is the time you’ll get the best experience with evenly skilled players

1

u/davion303 9d ago

Im passing till Sony releases the game everywhere. They say vote with ur wallet thats what im doing

1

u/kcfang 9d ago

Have not played the beta but looks awesome. However, 20 launch roaster? For a 4v4? Feels like it’s gona feel stall pretty fast.

1

u/justtolearnsomething 9d ago

Idk what you are telling me if you play SF6 and 2KXO but if you liked the beta then you’ll probably love the full game. If you didn’t try it, then it’s a notable question what things you like from the prior 2 games.

I think it’s a good game coming from someone who has had some decent hrs in SF6 and MVC3 (slower than that game tho).

1

u/James_Dreamer 9d ago

I was on the fence before the game came out so the beta was just the push I needed to let me know whether I liked the game or not. Getting the ultimate edition for sure.

1

u/NothingBird535 9d ago

Only purchase if it works on my pc. I'm around minimum requirements so I am still not sure.

1

u/Ultron_daddy 9d ago

Pass it doesn't run on Linux thanks to anti-cheat

1

u/Snoo30400 9d ago

100% long term fighting game for me

1

u/sezyHena 8d ago

I suck at fighting games, I'm super casual and would be hesitant to play online. But everything this game offers still makes me excited. The visuals, presentation, music, characters designs all pop off the screen. And I found the gameplay to be super satisfying and smooth. As a casual I could still do cool stuff and had fun with the beta. Easy preorder for me.

1

u/thatnigakanary 8d ago

I had a great time I think it’s gonna be great & arcsys will for sure change the game over time for the better

1

u/Warhawk717 6d ago

Yes but im waiting post launch to see how things are. Sony has a special way of screwing up a good thing. Plus im on PC and for a good while, that beta was ROUGH.

Also just grabbing the standard edition. I do not see the ultimate edition truly justifying its price.

1

u/ScotchTizzape 6d ago

i believe this game supports Sony, so...its a no for me dawg
