What's the difference in playing it on PC? Just sync your preferred controller to the PC and go. Also use a TV for a monitor if the issue is screen size.

I just got a cheap Bluetooth adapter that plugs into USB. Then just turn it on to detect new devices and google instructions on how to sync whatever controller you want. For an Xbox One controller you would just have to hit the wireless sync button or connect it via usb long enough to register. It will then register as a device on your PC and Xbox One controller support is fully integrated into windows so you don't need any 3rd party software.

Sepholio 12-08-2017 01:01 AM

I use a PS4 controller on my PC. It's the hardest one to pair to a computer and it takes all of like 10 seconds. It really is worth it for a lot of PC games. Pretty much anything that isn't twitchy like FPS games where a controller puts you at a disadvantage.

I guess SC6 takes place between Soul Edge and Soul Calibur. Good. Screw that Natsu bitch. Taki 4 lyfe.

Also, hoping this is the game where Ivy gets all her stances back and plays like her SC 2 version. One of my favorite styles in a fighting game but she hasn't been as fun the last few times.

Wish there was some more............depth.

3 monsters to hunt down at easy, medium, and hard difficulties. All weapons opened up, some armor pieces to choose from.

Basically, find monster tracks, kill monster, reset.

Will mess around with it some more try most of the weapons and see what I'm comfortable with. Learn the controls, too. Used the Insect Glaive the first go-around and it was smooth.

It doesn't include Ultra SF2. They probably didn't include it for exactly that reason.

Well no, but it includes every other version of SF 2, Alpha, and SF 3.

AND STREET FIGHTER ONE

Kalyx triaD 12-11-2017 07:06 AM

It's also missing HD Remix, Alpha 2 Gold, and Alpha 3 Double Upper.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-11-2017 07:09 AM

I don't know why most collections ignore both of those Alpha versions. Are they seen as unbalanced competitively or something?

Kalyx triaD 12-11-2017 07:19 AM

Alpha 2 Gold is actually thought to be the prime of the alpha series, as is Super Turbo in 2 and 3rd Strike in III. So it's exclusion is baffling. I would have it replace Alpha 2 altogether.

Alpha 3 Double Upper is a bit of a hard case. It's only releases were a handheld and DC at the turn of new consoles so it's not clear how good or broken it is as it didn't really have a big scene.

Also some are speculating that they focused on everything that had an arcade release, which is why we have Hyper Fighting rather than SF 2 Turbo.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-11-2017 07:29 AM

Zero 2 Alpha was released in the arcade, at least in Japan, which just makes it weirder.

Ruien 12-11-2017 08:27 AM

Is each Street Fighter 2 game completely different or something? Feels weird people keep buying the same game.

They are changed, but they would be DLC these days instead of whole new games. Stuff like Hyper Fighting being faster (selectable by the arcade owner) and allowing air hurricane kicks, whereas Super added 4 new characters and Super Turbo added the concept of a mater for some moves.

Kalyx triaD 12-11-2017 08:56 AM

Plus there's the simple historical and collector motivation for this package over competitive gameplay. 3rd Strike is the only SF3 worth taking seriously but it's nice to have the other two.

And what's notable is SF1 seeing a re-release and Alpha 3 having online play for the first time (outside of unofficial networks like GGPO).

#BROKEN Hasney 12-11-2017 11:01 AM

Alpha 2 not having online is a bit of a personal bummer, but I can see why they want to limit the number of games.

Shame there's not that SF2 Anniversary version where you could pick the different versions of characters, but with so much there, it's kind of nitpicking.

If Disney buy Fox, they should be able to use XMen again and do a COTA/Marvel SH and Vs. 2D collection.

Emperor Smeat 12-11-2017 05:41 PM

According to reports, Star Wars Battlefront II sold well under 1 million copies last month and got outsold roughly 5-to-1 by Call of Duty WW2.

EA was expecting around 1.7 million sales last month even with the recent controversies and sold around 880k copies instead.

For some comparisons, launch week was 60% lower than the previous game in terms of physical sales.

They can technically do that now. It's Marvel who didn't allow X-Men in MvCi. It's a licensed Marvel game not a Marvel Studios game, but Marvel opted to make it MCU focused.

Same guy who's been leaking fighting game news for the past year has leaked that Bardock, Brolly, Base Goku and Base Vegeta are going to be DLC for Dragon Ball Fighter Z.

Obviously Vegeta and Goku are a controversial decision. Personally, I'm happy if it's true. Saiyan/Namek saga Goku and Vegeta are my favorite versions of the characters, and there is a wealth of material that they can pull from to ensure they play completely differently from their SSJ versions. But I can understand how others who want completely different characters might be upset.

Fignuts 12-16-2017 04:40 AM

Made it to 14th on my first go.

definitely has that early access jankiness. Kalyx would hate it lol. The tension is amazing though. Even just running to the next set of buildings is intense. Only got one kill, but it was great. Tricked a guy into coming into building after me. He tried to flank and come in from the side, but I had gone out the back and hit him with the shotty.

Think I'm gonna really like this, but I want to play with other people.

2 questions

1. Do the duo and squad modes match you up with randos or do you have to have friends?

2. I got a 4x scope and equipped it but I can't figure out how to actually use it or even aim down the scope.

1. You get randies...though I dont recommend it. I played a couple games with a random fill in in both duo and squad, and people dont like to talk (which is clearly key when you're sweeping buildings for loot)

2. tap LT (or RT...one of those). The game suffers from the same thing Hello Neighbor does, in that they really need to work on translating PC controls to console.

The fact that Battlegrounds plays like complete ass, and yet is still so fun, really shows the potential of the game.

Ok, how the fuck did it fly under my radar that Ubisoft added a mission to Ghost Recon Wildlands where you hunt down The Predator?

Also can unlock Predator's gauntlets and mask, as well as camo and accessories from the other characters of the movie.

3) According to reports, Sony and Activision pulled the same annoying marketing stunt with Destiny 2 as they did with the original game. This involves putting the game on your PS4 dashboard with your other games making it seem like a free gift or trial but instead of being playable, it just redirects you to a purchase screen.

4) Nintendo's paid online service for the Switch is currently rumored to be getting delayed till Fall 2018 at least for Europe according to the company's official Italian website.

Mankind Divided and Telltale Batman.

I suggest everyone get their hands on Deus Ex. Great game.

Fignuts 12-27-2017 07:24 PM

Yeah, has its flaws, but it's still really good.

Fignuts 12-27-2017 07:43 PM

Can you purchase dlc on steam if you don't own the game it's for? Because I was gonna make a thread in wrestling for the Takayama dlc, since thats the only way for people outside of japan to contribute without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

Emperor Smeat 12-27-2017 08:11 PM

Based on Steam's forums, seems you have to own the game itself in order to buy DLC unless you gift it to someone else.

Know on the eShop it will ask you need to own the game in order to be playable but doesn't restrict buying it. Same for Xbox Marketplace.

I can see myself a few months from attending "Gamers Anonymous" meetings.

"Hi, my name is Clockshot and I'm a gamer."

I'd figure they'd get around to this in my single digit years when Nintendo changed everything.

Red Dead Redemption 2 currently rumored to be arriving by June 8th according to recent leak by a Danish retailer.

Adding some credibility to the rumor is this being the same retailer who leaked GTA V's release date which later turned out to be correct.

Despite gta v being the most successful game of all timd i hope red dead 2 does not take direction from it...i want solo Rockstar games...

#BROKEN Hasney 12-29-2017 06:14 PM

There's going to be multiplayer and there's going to be a currency for it. The 60 hour single player will still be there I'm sure though.

They're not going to turn down millions of extra money.

Destor 12-29-2017 06:17 PM

60 hours of single player wasnt there for gta 5. 25-30

Destor 12-29-2017 06:18 PM

And yeah in all likelihood this is the last rockstar game i play before i admit im not in the demo anymore

Take Two mentioned either in their last fiscal report or last big interview about GTA Online being their model for all major releases in the future. Same way the NBA 2K series is the basis for their microtransaction system in games.

The first game had multiplayer as well but very likely Rockstar expands it with a GTA Online-like system for this game.

Kalyx triaD 12-29-2017 06:53 PM

Though it doesn't have a linear narrative GTA Online really have a great deal of content and progression. It's unlikely they'll stop doing a main story. Do not see the issue.
