Karl looks at how fighting games and the community is blemishing the good world of gaming, showing why it all needs to stop.
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.
I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.
BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.
eyyy max xD
one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.
The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
Batsu Ichimonji and Bishop from the X-Men are joining the fight in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 through a recently created mod for the game.
Ban a genre because of how some gamers choose to react is just weird. If this is the case we should ban shooters too! How about this, ignore the trolls and move on.
never mind, the guy does have a point. After reading this he convinced me and I'm a huge fighting game fan!
You can't be serious? I'v seen movies with more gore than Mortal Kombat. *cough*Saw*cough*
Let's ban movies too! Oh, and the news such as FOX because they show some pretty f***ed up sh*t too.
Video games do not make people go out and kill others. You know what makes people go out and kill others? Mental issues.
I played MK when I was a kid and I have yet to go out and shoot up a school. Why? Because my parents whooped my ass to keep me in line.
If anything, violent games are great for stress relief. Would you rather your kid shoot people and take his anger out in an online game? Or run down the street guns blazing?
...that's not the point of the article, nothing is ever mentioned about the violence being bad.
He is actually talking about how overly competitive and sexist the fighting community is. The author even talks about how he is a massive fan of fighters.
how bout just being more strict on who these games are sold to? The rating isnt there for no reason so card lil punks that try n buy M rated titles
