probably not since the only people who play gg are heads and the gg heads are gonna get rev on console and play that and pc will be an american post-gold rush style ghost town

Pwning the incels with my waifu fg character. Get trolled :twisted:
Lipstick Apathy

This is actually really well-animated -- not just because it's fluid and weird, but because it's fluid and weird while also still having totally readable attacks that make visual sense for a fighting game. It's amazing how many indie FG devs don't really seem to get that.

On sale maybe? It goes down to twenty bucks sometimes. Depends how dedicated you are to training mode cause the online is getting pretty scarce. I've friended a handful of the PC players on the forums and play games a few times a week.

There's barely any mechanic difference between the two so if you're not desperate to play with the new chars it's fine for practicing up. I use it to practice stuff and play Rev at locals.

If you have not played xrd before its worth it on sale just to play xrd even if you dont play online much because their challenges and missions are some of the best around and im sure you can get a goon who bought it on pc to play with you every so often.

The period of least investment would have been the anime sale a couple months ago, it was like $15 in that. Maybe it'll go that low again in the Summer sale.

Yes. It's a great port of a great game and every sale convinces Arcsys to bring future games either faster or at all.

If you don't have a PS4, then yes. The online is still reasonably active.

Uh the demo probably? Iunno if they'd scrap all its assets and make you redownload it, I hope they just patch it.

I pre-ordered the JP version of Revelator and preload was available about a day before release. Maybe the US version will be the same.

I haven't seen any games that do it that way on ps4.
My library is full of defunct betas and demos. Sony claims to have a hide function coming for these licenses. I imagine they do it that way because they dont want to set up a system that removes/replaces software licenses from an account automatically for hundreds of thousands of people at once.

It's not hard, it's tight, but if you play around with it a little it's easier to grasp it.

I've read about double tapping but outside of the how I don't understand the why, what is the benefit of pressing a button twice instead of just once? Does it have something to do with manipulating the input buffer? Hello thanks for reading my post.

you have to hit a button in a particular window to get what you want. do you hope you nail the correct timing on one press or would you like to be getting that input in over 2 frames?

yeah, it's real good sometimes but not the easiest thing to get used to doing, since just jamming on the button twice with whatever fat hunk of meat you got near it isn't the same thing

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
It's important to note that in most fighting games it's impossible to repeat an input two frames in a row. Even double tapping perfectly will inherently have a frame of button release (negative edge) that will only apply to special moves in most games. On top of that, doing perfect double taps is incredibly hard so you might often have more than a 1 frame gap somewhere.
