You might not be able to play competetively, but you can certainly play the game.RaikuFA said:
I doubt it, I decided to get KoF13 last year, had some issues with the tutorial. Decided to go to SRK and see if I could get some help in learning how to peform this problem(don't remember, had cancel in its name). All I was met with was being called "scrub" told to go back to Smash and even a mod joined in(I looked for it but it seems to have been deleted). I said screw it its just the FGC being the FGC. I practiced a bit in practice mode, played the campain for a few days, decided to go online. Got curbstomped then a message from my opponent saying I should have my hands broken because I suck so much.Tempest13 said:
The Blazblue community is actually pretty friendly, from my experience. I started to play the first game a few months before Continuum Shift's release and people were more than happy to help me out with understanding combo notation, basic combos, etc. Once CS came out there were plenty of people willing to help others out with understanding the big changes to their characters or learning the new characters. Hell, even without others helping you the game has a ridiculously in-depth tutorial and challenge mission that teaches you how to do all of their moves, basic, intermediate, and advanced combos.Rabid Toilet said:
I'm sorry that happened to you, but a bad day on SRK and online doesn't really indicate much. Especially the online part, if that's the worst you've experienced then you've had it easy. It's got nothing to do with the FGC in particular it's the scrubby online badmouthing trash that makes every community look bad. As for SRK? I have no idea of the nature of the conversation but I'd have loved to help you had I been there. I'm sad to hear that one of our biggest sites treated you poorly but you're the one letting it affect your enjoyment of the game and your view and treatment of others.RaikuFA said:
I can't really say for this game since we don't know what it entails yet but.... the story is very complex and you will probably be hopelessly lost without playing the others. My suggestion: pick up the latest console release BlazBlue Continuum Shift: Extend. Has a condensed and more understandable version of the first game's story in it as well as the entirely of the 2nd game's story. No need to actually play the first game to get the story now.T1tan45 said:
Continuity, my boy. Hazama/Terumi effectively destroyed Lambda when Nu took her over and her body completely vanished when Ragna got the Idea Engine. Mu is...Noel, so unless she feels up to using those powers...no.Ghonzor said:
It's seriously not as bad as you're making it out to be. Any competitive game... hell, any competitive activity is going to have a bit of that. That's why it's called "competition".RaikuFA said:
Your vitriol is unnecessary. There are elitist douchebags in every single fanbase, without exception, including your beloved Persona 4. Most people have self-esteem issues, and sadly the default means to make one feel better about oneself is to make others feel like shit.RaikuFA said:
See I'm going, without getting both sides to the story, at least play devil's advocate here because I've seen the "n00b" queries go both ways. Mostly because the reaction that one gets is almost entirely dependent on what you ask and how you ask. I say this because I've yet to encounter a forum that restricts the ability of registered members to use its search function. So if someone comes in asking a very common question it indicates to the established community that this person didn't bother looking to see if others had had similar questions and decided that they where a special, unique snowflake deserving of everyone's attention and they will (deservedly) be treated accordingly (see also: mocked mercilessly). Similarly if the inquiry is phrased in such a way that the individual is essentially asking for the community to explain either incredibly basic game mechanics and/or really, really dumb the game down then they are likely to once again be met with hostility because such a question indicates a complete lack of research and is a waste of everyone else's time. If neither of these criteria where met then whatever happened was unfortunate and maybe you just caught people on a bad day.Tempest13 said:
You know what though?ReinWeisserRitter said:
Get Extend so you can get a gist of what's going on. The story is very interesting and the characters incredibly well-developed. I'd argue it's one of the best game casts in a LONG time.T1tan45 said:
