Wow I was just about to get KOFXII but thought no one play this game.
To be honest though this game lacks game modes and netplay is unreliable, but to call KOF XII unplayable is just plain ludicrous. (if talking about from gameplay POV)
It astound me how negative rep KOFXII receive for its design which isn't all flaw, if any thing the only thing I truly hated were the damage output from CC and how some character where pretty much clones of another. (oh wait SSF4 is full of those & people love that game)
I must admit I'm not a KOF fan but KOFXII is a decent game with decent concept that could have been polish more in the future game. But developer choose not too. Cant say I blame them for their market decision for KOFXIII.
But I'll honestly say I would play this than KOFXIII. Which I find is let down to the new reboot that claim to make. KOFXIII is just like every other kof game with visual polish and system that yet again only cater to aggressive play. ( i think kofXII fix that)
