stick it to the man
Me too. It's the first DOA on PC, so I'll give them the 3 months to patch in the online. Besides, I've gotten on board with other Japanese PC "ports" that had much worse problems (in my opinion) at launch that were never fixed. Dark Souls immediately comes to mind, as well as MGS Rising with its lack of support for resolutions above 1080p, and the 24Hz HDMI bug.
The system debuted with XCOM: Enemy Unknown all the way back in 2012, but it fell out of favour rather quickly.
The most recent game to use it was Tropico 5 earlier in the year. Before that, F1 2013, which is probably what you're thinking of.

Well, I rather have this with a 3 month late online play that nothing at all. Especially if it encourages later release in a better state.

"Eh, that's Ok for a first-time effort."
What? No, it's not.

Well, shit.
I suppose this is true. I have done similarly. My interest for this isn't as high though, so I'll wait it out first. I'm not doing the same with mgsv gz though, even though the likelihood is that my temp laptop will not run it

Even when they the first big modern 3D fighter to Steam, they still fuck it up

Hopefully they figure this out before launch. This is ridiculous. The game has been out on consoles for years and they can't figure out how to make it work on PC?

Like download the nude mods.
Enough time for you to get good I'd say.
I had no idea this was coming out on the PC, finally now I can smack down scummy bison players with a true fighter, Ryu Hayabusa.
Online is garbage tier on consoles. I'm not expecting much.
I'm buying it because I love the series and will play it locally. Missing online, in its present state on consoles, is pretty much the same thing as having it at launch.
Am I able to take advantage of this price in the NA?
yeah, that seems like a weird thing to say
the fact that online isn't going to be there at launch makes me think it's an extremely low budget, no effort port that isn't getting much attention from the publisher

It is. Dark Souls was crap, DS2 was infinitely better. It's the first entry in the series to make it to PC, I'll cut the devs some slack.

Regrettable but of no consequence to me as I never play this game online.
I never play fighters online. I enjoy fighting the computer and going through the story modes with each character, learning their moves, etc. I always get destroyed online so what's the point? I don't have time to "get gud".
Eh, then they'll just be accused of favoring the console players and shitting on PC to a worse degree. If they can't get online working in time it's a no-win situation. I wouldn't hold back the console releases on count of the Steam version if I was in their shoes.

I'll cut them some "slack" when they stop charging me full price for these "first time efforts" that lack all the modes and features. On their second attempt at a PC when they finally have all said features in THEN charge me $50.
I don't get down with the $50 charge...but is missing half it's shit.

Honestly I'm the same way.
Last time I played a fighter online was to get all of the achievements in Tekken Tag 2.

This game is going to be Dead on Arrival.
Will still buy anyway because I want to support more fighting games on PC, but yea. That is shitty.
People are still saying dumb things like this in 2014? lol

It's already hard to get a community for these games this just makes it worse, like you're not even planting the seed. You just dug the hole and left lol

Yes you should be able to. Ask in the Steam thread in Community.
Should've been first post.

Then they should cut the price if they want people to buy a product with missing features compared to the same game on other platforms. I'd be more fine with no online if the game was less and they were considering patching it in versus promising to patch it in a ridiculous timeframe at full price.

Honestly, I don't care. I'm not good at DoA enough to play online and I don't care to learn. VS. CPU is enough for me. Sucks for people who do want online though.

I would only be concerned if they prevent us from adding mods

Speaking of which, did Chaos Code ever get an online patch?

Buy it further down the line then, noone is forcing people to buy it for the full price.
Not seeing anything!

Wait if I'm reading this right, if they reach tier 3 pre-order bonus the game is 30% off?
True, but that doesn't absolve it of criticism for missing features at the same price point.
