Xrd is legit amazing.
Surprised not to see a Tekken game up there, considering how it does better than Streetfighter in Asia.

I reckon ~2 million.
It's hard to say, the proximity to Injustice 2 could really siphon a lot of the casual market away. On the other hand it's the only great 3d fighter to be released on PC basically ever*, so that could help sales.

I'm wary of buying pc fighting games because it might be hard to find matches. Considering my location is at SEA does not help.
MvcI with no xplay is not reassuring.

Tekken will destroy SFV sales, obviously.
But i don't expect a high "Customer -> Tournament player" rate.

I'd really like to hit up CEO next year. By then a lot will be labbed in i2 and mvci. It'll be fairly hype. Ceotaku is another I wanna see sometime. New Chaos code will be interesting to see folks use.
CEO in general is just my dream tournies. That and frosty fairings. Lots of variety at those.
I've heard a few times that Namco is happy with Tekken 7 preorder numbers so far, but I'm not sure where that information came from.
They should've jumped on the loot crate train and made those treasure chests from Treasure Battle into proper loot crates that you collect and open later with a fancy animation.

i managed to hold off buying IJ2 at launch, barely. Gotta keep that day 1 money for Tekken 7
. I do want to pick up a copy when it's cheap. Looking for one of those deals where the game and the season pass are less money than the launch game price alone.
Delaying MvCI is only an option if it's not in a good state. At this point the game is what it is, feature wise - not nearly enough time to delay and (in a meaningful way) copy major features that aren't currently in the design. Unless you mean FFXIII Versus type delays.
open world multiplayer souls-like shooter RPG w/ loot crates
and Hearthstone packs

Yeah, it's already annoying me in Injustice. I hate this shit. I just want gear for the character I play.
But whatever, apparently casuals love random shit.

Overwatch had lootcrates. Overwatch makes tons of money. Lootcrates make tons of money.

It's funny, Smash has been doing "loot crates" since...Melee?
That's a shame. I get that you don't want the stats affecting tournaments, but being able to customize your character for matchups was something great MKX did.
If you can't use the gear outside of casual play, that makes it a lot less cool.
Smash 4 fizzles out because the community generally agreed that the custom moves in Smash actually decreased the depth of play, as some characters became entirely about spamming a broken custom move to win. From what I've seen of IJ2 custom moves, they're interesting alternates instead of a broken mess. The final nail in the coffin for Smash 4 customs was Sakurai saying he would not be looking at them in balance patches, so the issues weren't going to go away.
For an entire industry about creating experiences, there's a stunning lack of creativity.
It's all about hype, and candy is hype.

after watching both aris and the gb quicklook, i am strangely very interested in injustice. but i already know buying it at $60 for x1 is a fool's errand so i'll have to hold out a bit.

which one of us will crack and pay retail first
Make it pixelart with roguelike metroidvania elements and you've got a sale.

No waifu table, sadly. Here's what we went with (no MK cause we figured it was not wedding appropriate)
SF4
MVC2
UMVC3
Smass
Project Justice
Tekken 5DR
Injustice 2
ST
Guilty Gear XX
CVS2
And I went with open seating. We have been planning out so much that I figured all the guests could handle seating themselves

After the last wedding I attended with assigned seating...Open seating is the way to go. Especially if you are doing buffet food, no reason to assign seats.

Member
Yeah we are doing buffet and the reception coordinator said the same thing. The original plan was to go with wrestling ppv names but then we realized calling the tables by names like Bad Blood, Judgement Day, Backlash, etc was probably not the way we wanted to go haha.
Also, I just remembered I have a wedding registry so I added Injustice 2 on there. Couldn't hurt to ask, right?

good
Gotta do it before your hair thins, and we're not getting any younger.
It's done for psychological and business reasons. It's a system that creates positive feedback for free players (as opposed to the negative feedback a hard pay gate causes) while removing cost ceilings on paying players. People like free stuff, and tying free stuff in-game to playing the game is a good way to get people to play more (regardless of how much they play already). In competitive games, encouraging free players to stick around matters, as the paying players still need someone to play. (That and the free advertising they can end up being, which helps with player acquisition.) Whereas lootboxes make it hard for people to get what they really want, and the variable feedback from them is also something that encourages people to keep opening one as they might hit the jackpot with the next one.
As an aside: This is also why SF5's implementation is so goddamn bad, as it does none of these things. The fight money system is implemented so badly it has no effect on engagement, the hard paywalls make people resentful of all of the DLC, and they put a hard cap on how much money they can make per whale in the game. Fails all the way around.

speaking of weddings...I'm in a wedding this weekend...its my redneck brother getting married and im stuck wearing redneck wedding attire (fucking jeans and a vest over a dress shirt).
Can I come to your wedding instead

I'd never have assumed that's your origin. But come on man, he's your brother. Spare him a day, be merry. It's a time for celebration!
Also, I like jeans. They're comfortable and easy to wear.
What's up with the funny hat you Persona fans are wearing now on your avatars?
thanks! pray for me this saturday

Yea, my mom is a bit of a redneck, but my younger siblings ran full on redneck for some reason. Meanwhile me and my older brother are completely white collar.
However I have no intentions of trying to bring down the mood. I'll put on my best face and try and have some fun. Wont ruin it for anyone.
One of the confidants in persona 5 is wearing it. Got a big kick out of the "Get Smoked" text.
Hes like a 12 year old that hangs out in an arcade playing whats essentially Gunslinger Stratos
Oh...right, and his jacket says NOOBS
I see. Still didn't meet him as I haven't been able to play it much. Next month I'll get to really dive in.

I believe SF switched to Urien a long time ago.
Why saddle yourself with a garbage character.
