Ten years later and Sony's multiplayer brawler still feels underappreciated. But why is that?
Sometimes, you don't need a Nintendo Switch to play the best platform fighters.
playstation all stars would have been good if you could finish without ultimate moves. Made the game so boring and repetitive. The rest of the combat was really fun but that just killed it for me. Look at smash where you can get such creative kills and here you just wait for lvl 3 ult and press one button.
Warner Bros.' crossover platform fighter might be dead in the water come this summer, but that doesn't mean the game deserves to be lost forever.
It does seem strange to me for a predominately online mp game.. WB are essentially acting like a sulking kid and taking their ball home. Even if the game is essentially in maintenance mode, I don't see why they can't keep it online still. If I was someone who invested heavily in the game and spent a ton all that MT junk, I'd be furious at what they are doing.
been achivo hunting it lately. The servers are crap and it seems like it's an old issue they refused to resolve. Also, I'm guessing giving a good part of its budget to a popular NBA player so he could be a playable character wasn't a good idea
Multiversus director Tony Huynh has responded to threats made over the weekend after news of the game being shut down saying they are "crossing the line."
The thing about death threats is that it's something which is so awful but at the same time is never fully proven in the open. Like if I had a bunch of horrible trolls sending me death threats I'd name and shame them but no one ever does.
I'm not saying for this specific situation but it's getting to the point where it's starting to feel like when a studio, publisher or industry person is under fire they just have to causally mention death threats and everyone just slows down. The attention is taken away from the main issue and the fanbase turns against one another trying to find the bad eggs amongst themselves while gaming journalists have a field day s****ing on gamers telling people how how toxic they are. In the end it just comes off as a PR tactic to help them divert attention away from the main controversy.
Death threats are sad to see but take that away from his statement and you see how awful response actually is.
At the end of the day people just highlight what a small amount of people are doing to dodge any accountability.
Absolutely agreed.... Death threats can be fine and justified because more often than not, theyre nothing more than threats. I mean some times theyre not. But more often than not. It's a PR tactic...
F*** me bro..... Jesus.
I feel like you're twisting this and missing my point. You're coming across like I've said every single time this happens it's fake or something which is not what I was saying. I mentioned it 'sometimes' comes across like that because when it happens it's usually linked up to a controversy that's happening alongside it where the studio, publisher, industry person is getting a lot of heat.
As I've mentioned above if you remove his comments about the threats his entire statement is so hollow, where he seems to miss the point and it just looks like an overall bad response to the ongoing situation. The statement doesn’t disprove any of the reports coming out about him, the studio, how he was apparently running it and how he treat people.
If people named and shamed these trolls online then it doesn’t just help the victim but it helps other people who might suffer from this elsewhere as these people will start be more cautious, afraid of being publicly exposed in the future and will think twice about posting anything malicious. You'll be surprised how many of them use their real accounts and the last thing they will want is being exposed on their main where people will give them a taste of their own medicine. If people don't do anything or expose them then these kinds of people will just get away with it thinking they can keep on doing it to others where the problem just continues to grow.
I just hate the thought of these big companies (Hollywood does this aswell) making silly decisions and when they get heat for it they look for the usual online trolls who go a step to far, make them look bigger than they are and shift the blame to them as a get out of jail free card. When you then state your legit criticism in a fair manner you are grouped together with these horrible people and made to look like you are part of the problem, sweeping anything you have to say under the rug which is exactly what the company wants.
@fishy you got a way with words hahaha
Anyway what I think is that a random guy on the internet saying "kys devs" is not a death threat, if that were the case I've had plenty of death threats. When someone actually starts to name adresses, names of family members or shit like that, thats when I would label it as a death threat.
"I mentioned it 'sometimes' comes across like that because when it happens it's usually linked up to a controversy that's happening alongside it where the studio, publisher, industry person is getting a lot of heat."
Are you expecting them to get death threats when the community is happy or something? When the studio/person is getting heat is exactly when people would be toxic enough to make those kinds of threats. So yeah that's usually going to be when it happens. That should be kind of obvious.
It doesn’t matter if people are happy or not, people get death threats and other awful s*** flung at them all the time for literally no reason
That’s what trolls do, they get off on it, so it doesn’t matter what’s going on it happens.
Scientists could come out tomorrow and announce online a cure for cancer and you’d still get those people being arseholes because that’s how sad they are
Even the average Joe can get attacked by trolls for no reason where they’ll send death threats, comments about that persons appearance or sexual out of line stuff unprompted.
Obviously it happens more when someone is getting heat but we can’t say it doesn't happen at all any other time, it does sadly.
Only if they fix two things
1) The characters, the line up was f****** awful in places. There was no Cloud, Squall, Zidane, Sora, Crash, Spyro, Lara Croft (classic), Tomba, Croc, Gabe Logan, Snake, a variety of Resident Evil characters so on and on. It was a bit of a joke, let’s be honest.
2) Only allowing us to primarily knock out opponents by using Supers. It makes you go insane watching the Supers over and over and over. Just do a Smash Bros and give us a percentage or even a health bar.
Try including Snake this time ;)
Love PASBR if they can do the same add ring our mechanics even as an alternate game mode. And have multiple seasons of characters definitely. I never understood the anti “smash like” arguments where people were so prefixed on “only Nintendo can do it” instead of embracing the ability for everyone to try.
It’s like having street fighter and being upset SNK fighters exist. It’s just stupid
Sony should definitely give it another try especially since they have more characters now like Joel/Ellie, Delsin, Sir Galahad, Deacon, Aloy, Jin, Atoi/Iota, etc. Maybe even use characters who weren't in the first game for some reason like Gabe Logan or Dart.
