It's 60 bux on Green Man Gaming if you preorder, I often buy the big FG released from them because of that.

UNI2 PC port is busted. Online search causes the game to crash which basically means no online features work since you can't do matchmaking and you can't search player rooms. Nothing to do but wait for a fix. It's a shame.

Well glad I'm playing in person then I guess :toot:

Hopefully they get it fixed soon, that would be such a shame with how people are hyped for it. Not to mention I just wanna play online too :v:

Just realised Tekken 8's coming out in like a day, how's it looking on the single player side of things? I remember T7 had like an infinite arcade mode thingy which was alright, but I'm hoping T8 has something more robust or interesting besides the usual Story Mode (and looking quickly, there's Tekken Force also but not quite what I'm looking for). Like if there's a Virtua Fighter 4 quest mode thing or something that's like Regular Tekken 8 Gameplay Over a Long Period of Time would be nice.

Online multiplayer would be great of course but lately I find myself just not really enjoying fighting randos online, get much more fun hitting locals or doing sets online with people I know, maybe over voice call so it's more fun and personable. So while I will definitely hop online and play it once in a while, the longevity for me is in single player, especially since I don't really have that many friends that enjoy the series.

it has Arcade Quest which is very much meant to be like VF4 Quest Mode and also the standard ghost battle infinite thing (as well as a story mode)

So you can actually play uni 2 pc ranked right now but you can only queue from training mode lol. According to what I’ve read you can also play in rooms if you make a unique password but if someone else has the same password it will crash. There’s not many people online which is likely because this launch sucks rear end

Yeah I held off on buying GBVS to spend money on UNI but I think this might be my second steam refund ever after Nickelodeon smash last year.

Just seems weak with online being broken and honestly after SF6 and granblue I miss my modern inputs and easy combos lol

some of the bugs are the same ones that happened on mbtl release
when searching for more info about the uni download region thing i found 5 year old posts with the same issue in melty

and iirc it also had the "searching for room matches and getting too many results crashes the game" thing at launch which uni2 does too

I'm able to queue for and get uni2 matches from the menu without the game crashing now, it's like 4am here though so I wonder if it was a server load issue or something along those lines.

Interested to know where/how people are getting this info. Almost every reply underneath the twitter post about the current issues is asking them to remove region lock and I don't understand how people are able to even determine that this is a thing with how borked matchmaking was before a few hours ago. Some of the posts are even like "pls remove region lock, I can't play with my friends!!!" which is crazy because player rooms are def not region locked from what I've personally seen go down. :psyduck:

It crashed on matchmaking on release as well. It also wouldn't alt+tab without crashing and wifi really hosed the netcode hard, in addition to a bunch of the extra modes like time attack just not working. In a lot of ways uni2 is a better release, its only got the matchmaking probs which will probably be fixed (and seems to have been fixed??) pretty promptly. The rest of the game is fine.

This is what happens when you don't have PC betas. Alongside online problems the game blackscreens on trying to change it to fullscreen, necessitating a restart. It still seems to be locked to 720p like MB:TL was, resulting in blurry UI and artwork making it look like it was ported straight from the Switch or something. I haven't tried it online myself yet but I'm half expecting the invisible character bug from MB:TL to return as well.

MBTL also stretched out the screen on ultra wide monitors at launch, though they fixed it. Wonder if it does that too!

Uni2 definitely does blackscreen the first time you try to change visual options but after a restart it has let me change resolution and all the other options without a problem, it is not locked to 720p as far as I know though maybe this is a works-on-my-machine-rear end post. The only other problem I've personally seen is the ping in online matches is fake, it'll show like 500ms but be a completely normal-feeling match.

I haven't seen any evidence for region locking, or invisible characters, or it having messed up ultrawide support or anything but I will keep an open mind.

What I meant by locking to 720p is that, while you can blow up the game to 1080p, it doesn't render at 1080p, so it ends up looking like a 720p game just expanded, resulting in blurry UI and artwork. Not like, game killing, but it just looks bad. I remember MBTL having the ping problem as well, it's like French Bread just didn't learn anything.

my bad for misunderstanding, just booted it up to check and yeah thats weird as hell. I'm coping so hard with the initial terribleness of this pc port :negative:

I saw a lot of stuff this month about how the community lives on pc so its pretty sad it got neglected so hard. Ultimately I don't think the pc port was the reason mbtl died and it was more that people weren't vibing with the game so much, so maybe uni2 will be able to live on despite itself

:hellyeah: Wagner is great. Remember you can cancel shield charge and her dive kick into 22c for free plus frames and both charges when you play someone

If you have cs you can run pressure for a really long time, though if you run into someone that knows how to fight her you'll actually have to play uni

Edit: oh also her stomp is a safe standing low, so you can mix that in with FF for some free damage and oki

I'm patient enough to wait for fixes, but yeah. A poo poo launch, the day before Tekken 8 releases? It's a really nice coffin they've built for themselves.

I'm still gonna play it whenever the online is resolved, but like, drat.

I absolutely love the new stuff they gave my girl Nanase, too. was hype to get some matches in before Tekken time. Such is life.

Beelzebub in GBVSR is a lot of fun, really clicked with him once I put in some time. It's fun to have multiple unique ways to bully and knowledge check people while teleporting and divekicking around. Is there anything else out there like him?

Lucilius has a lot in common with him but is a bit more difficult due to cooldown management. People also might be more wise to his knowledge checks (mainly H teleport) now.
