I can't sleep. I was in class today and I was ready to say "GetmethehellouttahereIwannaplaygamesnAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!". So bad.
Quote from: Diavle on November 22, 2011, 11:46:34 AM(claps hands) very nice, if everyone else keeps this up, IGN's score will look like the unreliable ugly duckling in the group of good scores.
Anyway, another solid score for XIII via the Japanese magazine Famitsu, it gave 8, 9, 8, 9 (total 34/40).
Quote from: Reiki.Kito on November 22, 2011, 11:25:25 AMI think they're just nitpicking. I take this as good news as it seems they can't seem to find what to dock points on.
I just don't understand how you dock it down twice for the same thing with such a contradiction. How can a story be short and convoluted at the same time?
Quote from: solidshark on November 22, 2011, 11:07:53 AMYeah I know but look at the reasons they gave for the low score. I mean, if someone is generally interested or even casually interested and checks out what they gave it the negative marks on, they can decide whether that's a huge issue for them or not. UMVC 3, unfortunately, is a capcom game, and those always ALWAYS have to score good(yes if I remember correctly, network was never brought up).Quote from: K1LL1NGZ0NE on November 22, 2011, 10:59:11 AM
Solidshark, you should do what I'm doing and ignoring that IGN review. IGN=:\
Wish I could ignore them; if only the didn't speak to a lot of potential customers (i.e. growing competition). And also, wanted to see how much content they skipped or skimmed on (color edit, trial, etc.) and compare it to the 8.5 review UMVC3 got; I don't think netcode was even mentioned there.
Quote from: Reiki.Kito on November 22, 2011, 11:12:14 AMSee they can't even properly defend their score. They lower the score hugely for such small things, it's like they're looking too give it a bad score.
I don't like where this is going with IGN. The soundtrack got a bad score? The netcode brought down the score in 3 different sections? And the bosses are cheap? This review is not serious, can't be. There's too much emphasis on the netcode, cheap bosses, and how "convoluted" the story is.
Then they go on to say the story is short! OBJECTION!
Quote from: Reiki.Kito on November 22, 2011, 10:44:33 AMI know but I think its nice to have some numbers to play around with. And immediate returns(blows raspberry) who would do that?
It's just preorders. We have to wait atleast a week to see who else might buy the game and see if there's immediate returns for it. There's going to be streams all over the place and reviews have been popping up with numbers that even out do Marvel.
Quote from: Reiki.Kito on November 22, 2011, 10:44:33 AMNow that is ...unexpected.

Even SRK is giving them props..
Quote from: Sharnt on November 22, 2011, 10:25:03 AMThose are good numbers, maybe not good enough for SNKP, but they're decent. A lot more than I expected that's for sure.Quote from: Chipymax on November 22, 2011, 09:32:20 AMQuote from: Reiki.Kito on November 22, 2011, 09:11:07 AM
The game sold out at Play Asia.
That's nice , do you have any Idea how many copies we are talking about 100K, 200K or maybe 300k or more?
Also, has Atlus said anything about the sells here in the US?
>100K preorder in US
>50k preorder in Europe
Quote from: LouisCipher on November 18, 2011, 10:27:02 AMWow. The game isn't even out yet and people are already thinking about making nude characters.
Just letting you guys know ahead of time. If possible; I'm going to troll online with Nude Clark.
Quote from: THE ANSWER on November 16, 2011, 11:01:31 PMHell if it gets enough votes, It might get others to check it out if it's a runner-up or (!)If it wins. Besides, it never hurts to click a button.
Yeah guys, what's up with that attitude. Is not about weather we win or lose, is to help bring exposure to the game. Do your part and VOTE!
You wanna keep it real? I'm game, shit I think MK is going to win but that doesn't stop my from telling every single person in this world that I know that plays KOF to vote.
P.S. Do you guys realize that the game is not even officially out and it was nominated?!
Quote from: LouisCipher on November 16, 2011, 09:49:16 AMMan I hope so. I would kill for a Kula avatar (Yeah say whatever you want about her, I don't play her cause she's good, I actually like the character. Her being good is just a bonus:) ).
Hey, are there any KOF13 avatars on PSN?
