PC vs Consoles

1) none of those single player games you listed are spectacular. a solid single player game will not get re-sold because it will have enough content and replay value to make it last a long time. look at for example, skyrim, or dragons dogma.

I actually knew you'd mention Skyrim, you're forgetting that that's not a "linear single player game", that's an "RPG", it's a massive open world game where you level up and acquire new classes. Completely different from the examples I gave like Enslaved, DMC, Dead Pool, Mario... etc. All those games very high re-sell rates. I mean what kept you playing Banjo Kazooie back in the day? Collecting all the Jiggy Pieces? You'd return that to the store in a week by today's standards.

of course, there is no reason to buy whatever the new call of duty is, because the game is so damn recycled, it is exactly the same as the previous installment, with all the same problems.

^ From this comment alone, I can tell you're not a Call of Duty player. I own ever single installment, MW2, MW3, CoD4, Black Ops 1, Black Ops 2, and CoD Ghosts. The games are completely different in interfaces, kill streaks, equipment options, and perk systems. The only thing similar they all have is that they're shooter games with the same franchise logo.

and no i dont think fighting people across the globe is an asset especially in the context of fighting games. if anything else i think it hurts the community by attracting the wrong kind of people to it.

Lemme get this straight.... You think thousands of fighting game players being able to play with each other online is "bad thing" because a few bad apples play it? LOL! Welcome to the internet! You'll find d-bags in every internet game!

Why is encountering a d-bag in an online fighting game any worse then encountering that same person sitting next to you at a tournament? Lol, so you can have the satisfaction of causing them physical harm or what??? I don't understand this logic...

but if you just wanna feed your ego and be an online casual, you got no place talking down to others who actually have made a serious commitment to go offline making a competitive commitment to bettering themselves and learning more about the game.

Who is belittling tournament players? I'm not, I give tournament players all the props in the world.

Oh... I understand, you dislike online players because you feel insulted by their existence. You think that online players shouldn't exist in a parallel world with you because they can't accept that their virtual competitive world is based off lies?

I should have seen this post in the moderation queue since you are on probation but someone else must have approved it. Can you calm down with your ego contest? I really don't want to have to close ANOTHER thread because of you.

Wouldn't it be better to just ban them from the site for a week or something rather than shut down the thread and ruin it for everyone?



I'm still trying to figure out what this argument is even about. Offline, online, what's it matter. A game is a game. But it, play it, and either like it or get rid of it.

Well that's Ishimaru's last warning before I decide to extend his probationary status time period.

Nothing in my post is attacking anyone personally, on the contrary, I'm actually bringing clarity to the discussion.

When someone says "Online in fighting games is a bad thing" and I explain why that's untrue, that's not an argument, that's just explaining a point of view.
