I mean, there's a lot of anedoctal evidence on the netcode being pretty bad if you're not close enough to a server - I would assume it also sucks if for whatever reason you have a bad route to one of the servers too, and we have no idea how it deals with delay when the baked-in lag isn't enough to cover up for the connection. Like, Art was all "it's fine for me, people are exaggerating" but the motherfucker lives in NY and has access to Gigabit Google Fiber.

At least in my case I'm in the UK, so near a server, playing against other people who are also in the UK. Yet every session feels noticibly worse than offline and me and my friends had plenty of dropped combos and other weirdness with the inputs going on, as well as the occasional freeze and disconnect. At least it was free.

To be honest, I actually prefer even the Strive habbo hotel-looking lobbies over VF’s “you can’t even invite friends and I guess you’re just going to have to keep refreshing and looking for your friend’s lobby” system (I don’t care if it is getting patched, how the gently caress did they even think this was okay).

BurningBeard posted:Oh I don’t take it personally, but I think the problems with the game are overstated. Give it six months. People will be happy for VF, the netcode will be a minor annoyance by and large, and we’ll all forget it. Like I feel 99% sure this is going to be the case. Yeah, surely the bad netcode is going to stop being an issue once there's less people playing and you have to settle for worse connections to be able to play at all.

BurningCourage posted:VF5 US has felt nothing but lovely to me online and I'm wired in, playing against other people near me who are also wired in, and have had nothing but 4bar matches so far. Well if you're playing ranked that's cuz the ping indicator doesn't work and always shows 4 bars. And it will just match you up with anyone across the globe. So ever since I hit 10th dan it's matching me with lots of Japanese players and it is hell. So many games are unplayably laggy. They often won't stutter but they feel like utter poo poo and I'll be unable to reliably do super basic things like followup Taka's command grab with P+K. The game's also unplayable against some of my best friends which is frustrating since I can play other lovely delay based fighters against them at a somewhat bearable level. It's all incredibly frustrating and disappointing but I keep playing cuz this is one of my favorite games and I'm desperate enough that I'm just gonna suffer through all the ugly bits until I can't tolerate it anymore.

After a week with Virtua Fighter 5 I don't think it's going to make it, even though I dearly want it to. The fact is, this is substantially worse than the Xbox Live Arcade version I picked up back in 2011(?) or so - less character customization, less features (single-player has been stripped out, Quest was really fun folks!), a bad lobby system, and a non-rollback based server relay system that works ok but needed to be better. It's also still an incredibly technical game that requires a lot out of the player to be anything beyond a scrub. For something that was supposed to revive/save the franchise, this doesn't cut it. GG Strive is going to come out and that's all she wrote for VF5, which sucks rear end.

Don't think I saw this posted in the thread, but a Dev posted in the cesspit that is the Steam Discussion forums about the AWS tag on Strive: (sorry about the huge image, the curse of a 4k monitor) The fact that they're using their own servers as a middleman seems like it's setting the stage for cross play, but who knows? I know they've said it's something they'd like to do post launch, would be fantastic if they could get it in there Weird Pumpkin fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Jun 7, 2021 |

yeah outside servers is a very good sign

I was pessimistic about crossplay, but that does seem to indicate that it's on their roadmap--otherwise, why wouldn't they just use PSN/Steamworks?

I find your optimism inspirational, how do you do it Sometimes you beat the odds, and sometimes the marketing is poor but the product is great. Having said that, with today's corporations you're probably right to bet on "it's poo poo" most of the time.

Final Showdown also lacked quest mode, only the old out of date by a couple entries vanilla VF5 had it.

I’d play more vf5 but I gave my ps to my boy and he doesn’t like fighting games. I’ve also always preferred 2d games because I am as old as the sun.

MechaX posted:(I don’t care if it is getting patched, how the gently caress did they even think this was okay). They didn't, one of the conditions for the revival was that it had to be ready for the 60th anniversary celebration; the 61th happened this week, the game had to come out before then. They probably intentionally left it out in order to meet the deadline. Knowing that, why they chose to re-do all the graphics instead of just upscaling the original, keeping all the arcade content cut from the XBLA version and adding the basic online functionality from day 1 is the real headscratcher.

The mechanics have a lot of long-term implications in the fundamental approach to doing damage. I'm up to 600 hours into it in the last year and it's a fun game. The music documentary is really cool too.

I think if the aesthetics and the mobility were better I could overlook that but eh, it's just not for me - like KOF, there's something about the input parser in those games that just irks me and hops just overload my brain.
