Support NeoGAF

[C.Olimar788]

Mark my words

This will be a casual monster. The "Wii Sports" of the Switch

Not unless they double down on the advertising immediately and/or bundle it with every Switch sold it won't be.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

No.

It looks like something I'd play for like an hour before getting completely bored with it. I'll still keep an eye on it though.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Not at all. It still looks incredibly one-note, and I'm worried that the inclusion of additional sportsball modes indicate that the main one-on-one isn't deep enough to hold up the game on its own.

This is why Tekken 3 was the final game in the series.

 

[Unison]

Nope. I'm still not interested in it in the slightest, even though I've resigned myself to buying it.

I didn't enjoy it when I played it in January and nothing has changed my mind about that.

What is this?

Are you trolling?

 

[erawsd]

Id definitely like to try it, but Im still not sure it is something Id be willing to drop $60 on.

 

[ArcLyte]

Pretty disappointed that some of the arms are just carbon copies of others with a swapped color palette and different name

 

[Champion]

I turned off the Direct after 3 minutes. This game just isn't for me.

 

[retardedrockstar]

Went from meh to interested enough to try the testfire.

 

[SolarMystic]

How on earth does this look like shovelware? I may not want it because it's a fighting game, but it looks stylish and very polished.

I see most motion control stuff that way I think. It's looks nicely made, just reminds me of those beat em ups we got on Wii, kinect and PS Move.

I'm incredibly biased against motion controls outside of the VR space.

 

[Cipher Peon]

What is this?

Are you trolling?

???
No??? Why would I be trolling?

 

[Phazon_Chaos]

I went from not really interested at all to not entirely disinterested. I'll try it out during the Testpunch.

 

[EulaCapra]

I was cautiously sold on it before when it was announced it would support 4 players.

Now although I'm not counting down the days with hype, I feel pretty confident it's going to be worthy of the $60 price tag.

 

[Ratros]

A little, actually. I really want to buy OST of this game right now.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Changed my mind in the sense that I liked what i was seeing to I LOVE what i was seeing, yes.

 

[watershed]

I'm not sold on it yet but I'm definitely gonna try out the demo. The character designs are fantastic and it seems like another new IP from Nintendo that has received a lot of attention and polish. Right now I'm really noticing how fun it seems to be to see your opponent's punches coming from a distance and having to quickly decide how to react. The demo will tell me whether this game is for me or not.

 

[DiabloTheGrey]

Wasn't interested in it before and still not after the direct. Just not into those kinds of games. I think it will be a success and will be great fun for those that are into it though.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Not for me. I still don't like the game.It just don't appeal to me.

 

[matrix-cat]

Not really. I'm just not a multiplayer guy, so seeing that the singleplayer content was just minigames really just put me off. It's sort of the same situation with Splatoon, where I really like the game's style and I wish it was a genre I could get into, but multiplayer just isn't for me.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Neatherrelm Studios is highly praised around these parts for being the only fighting game dev that gives a shit about their single player content. Street Fighter V was highly criticized for the same reason. It's really not hard to get why people want single player content, is it? Not everyone has people to play with, or wants to play online.

People want another grand single player campaign from Nintendo, but instead it's three straight multiplayer games with not much to look forward to barring SMO. Disappointing would be an understatement.

<insert gif of terrible singer>

ARMS may not have as much single-player content as Injustice or Mortal Kombat but it has WAY more solo content than SF V did, especially at launch. ARMS may not have a story mode, but it has a bunch of modes, all of which can be played alone and there's a lot to unlock. Plus, unlike SF V, it actually has "gasp" an Arcade mode (Grand Prix)! SF V is a nightmare for solo players, even taking the Cinematic Story Mode into account.

 

[wapplew]

No. It was my killer app since Switch showcase, so nothing change.

 

[watershed]

Credit where credit is due, the ARMS Direct was really on point. The moment the bright yellow screen shows up and the music kicks in, the narrator, the new fighters, Nintendo really hit it out of the park. The whole aesthetic was unified, consistent, and fun.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

So don't use the motion controls...

 

[Tratorn]

Nah, but at least the music is good. Still a bit disappointed though that the Mario Kart is "wasted" for this, esspecially if it gets successful and will get several sequels.

 

[selo]

The open beta will definitely help me decide, if its not fully playable without motion controls, then its a no-go.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Pretty disappointed that some of the arms are just carbon copies of others with a swapped color palette and different name

I'm pretty sure all the "duplicates" they showed were different elemental types.

 

[Effigenius]

No. still doesn't look like it's worth the money. However, the test runs could change my mind.

Not really. I'm just not a multiplayer guy, so seeing that the singleplayer content was just minigames really just put me off. It's sort of the same situation with Splatoon, where I really like the game's style and I wish it was a genre I could get into, but multiplayer just isn't for me.

Splatoon has a single player campaign though. That whole trailer today was the single player campaign and it looks awesome.

 

[sneas78]

I don't know what to expect . Hopefully there will be a demo to try out.

 

[DecoReturns]

Nah, but at least the music is good. Still a bit disappointed though that the Mario Kart is "wasted" for this, esspecially if it gets successful and will get several sequels.

It's was a game the creator wanted to do. He deserve a chance to do something new after making a couple of very successful Mario Kart games.

I wouldn't call this wasted

 

[Kthulhu]

I'm more hyped than ever. Nintendo looks like they have something special on their hands.

The open beta will definitely help me decide, if its not fully playable without motion controls, then its a no-go.

Lucky you! Motion controls are optional.

 

[KrawlMan]

As another person has already said, just don't use motion controls.

I did play it at a local shopping center just before Switch launch and it's motion controls work incredibly well. Only thing that would prevent me from using them is how "active" they feel. I'm lazy when I'm gaming.

 

[Atom Heart Mother]

I really want to play it, but it being sixty doesn't feel to good to me. Wish it was 40 or 30.

 

[GCX]

Nah, but at least the music is good. Still a bit disappointed though that the Mario Kart is "wasted" for this, esspecially if it gets successful and will get several sequels.

Nintendo creating a new big-budget IP seems like the opposite of wasting resources.

 

[StreetsAhead]

I don't know what to expect . Hopefully there will be a demo to try out.

Yes, they announced one today in the ARMS Direct this thread is about.

 

[pretty done]

A bar so high an ant could reach it.

What? I need to pay closer attention. Had no idea regular controls were a thing.

 

[OriginalPoe]

I was never the target audience, but then again... I said that before Splatoon, and now I'm salivating for Splatoon 2.

I'll try it somehow. If it hits me like Splatoon did, I'll pick it up.

Nintendo would do themselves a HUGE favor to put out a demo.

 

[TDLink]

Not at all. It still looks incredibly one-note, and I'm worried that the inclusion of additional sportsball modes indicate that the main one-on-one isn't deep enough to hold up the game on its own. The lack of a proper single player is also really disappointing, especially as the opening to the Direct with the "history of arms" was amusing and could have been leveraged for a fun campaign. Hopefully Grand Prix at least has like character endings.

I'm looking forward to the demo times, though, and I hope they prove me wrong.

Pretty much exactly how I feel right now.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Your post I was responding to implied ARMS and SF V had similar levels of solo content, so I corrected you.

 

[OricWindstar]

They are. Next two weekends.

 

[OriginalPoe]

They are. Next two weekends.

Can't I just play a demo when it releases without having to play during x/y/z date?

That's what I mean.

 

[Meffer]

The wealth of modes and weapons is staggering and all future updates are free. Also dat ass.

 

[OricWindstar]

Can't I just play a demo when it releases without having to play during x/y/z date?

Ah. I could them doing that maybe post launch.

 

[Meffer]

This is for to test the network.

 

[ArtificialIntelligence]

I still haven't made my mind but I'll probably going to buy it, because it looks fun and I think it is going to be an interesting game.
Edit : BTW does anybody know how much is it going to cost ? Full price or 29.99 something?

 

[Kyuur]

The single player confirmation made me happy, glad to have an opportunity to test-run too. I was pretty much sold already though.

 

[OriginalPoe]

This is for to test the network.

I know. I would like a basic demo so I can check out how it runs/plays on Switch before buying.

 

[hughesta]

went from wanting to try it to being Day 1.

 

[pretty done]

Your post I was responding to implied ARMS and SF V had similar levels of solo content, so I corrected you.

I actually never implied that or even directly compared the games. I was clarifying why some people wouldn't be interested in a game that doesn't have much actual single player content with the people love NRS single player and people hated SFV (cuz it had no single player)

Strange that I'd have to clarify that in a Nintendo thread, but some people (the original guy I quoted) just couldn't see why people didn't want to buy a multiplayer game.

I didn't get that at all from your post, but my bad if I interpreted it incorrectly.

SF V absolutely had single player content at launch though... it was just really lackluster (and no arcade mode, which is inexcusable).

I can't believe SFV STILL doesn't have an arcade mode, but ARMS does.
