Oh, christ. I suddenly give a shit about Episode 3 now! If anyone can make it not suck, it's him!

[CubaLibre]

As I've said elsewhere, Valve is the only developer that gets it. Other individual developers get it, but Valve is the only place where, as a team, as a whole, they get it.

yeah, that list of potential "new characters" for street fighter 4 is kinda revolting :-/

i mean, they're just more street fighter ii characters!

why hugo and ibuki of all the street fighter iii characters? because one's a wrestler and one's a female ninja? seriously?

they said that they wanted to stay "safe" with the game because they didn't want to disappoint the people who were disappointed by street fighter iii.

so they just put every SFII character in there.

i went and played this at the arcade in kichijoji (the only one that has it until . . . oh, today, lol) last weekend, and it really was kinda depressing to see that twelve of the sixteen characters are SFII characters.

so, like: capcom acknowledged that SFIII had a "problem".

the "problem" was that "the characters were too weird".

further digging revealed that the characters were "too weird" because they "weren't exactly the same people as the street fighter ii characters."

if they would have just assessed what made the SFII characters affecting (easy-to-grasp stereotypes) and winged it from there, they could have created a whole bunch of new and different stereotype characters.

or: maybe now, at last, characters like sean and alex and makoto would appeal to the typical gamer's sensitivities. they were ahead of their time!

conclusion: it's really sad to see that the most they're willing to do at this point is give us a choice between t. hawk or fucking deejay.

if only someone would knock up a real nice powerpoint explaining that interest in the street fighter "franchise" started to wane around the time the "new challengers" were introduced. i mean, they're very boring people. look at them all.

second conclusion: that capcom's new characters include a 500-pound man doing drunken kung fu really isn't convincing me that they know their audience very well. isn't this precisely the kind of character that people felt "betrayed" by in street fighter iii? why bother including him at all?

(also, he looks fucking ridiculous in motion. kinda like him, either way.)

like, seriously -- why keep the bullfighter in, if you're going to have a mexican wrestler?

back with SFII, there was a bullfighter; they virtua fighter added a mexican wrestler a decade and three years later; then, two years later, tekken stole VF's mexican wrestler and dressed him up like a bullfighter; now sfiv has a mexican wrestler. no use having any shame about it! it was kind of your idea in the first place!

so yeah. i was hopeful for SFIV, though now that i've schooled bastards in the arcade for a solid week i've, uhh, started to get kinda depressed about it. i mean, how much longer am i supposed to be ryu? how much longer must i walk this lonely path of the warrior?

i wanna be makoto, at least :(

or i wanna be someone newwww

i keep trying to play as abel and every time i do, i lose, because i don't know him well enough :(

and i'm getting kind of sick of fighting guile :(

why is everyone playing as guile?

why does everyone playing suck so much?

different play style it being a prequel and all. ibiki more fumbling than usual? hugo sloppier than before?

then again, i haven't touched the game! wouldn't know if sf2 ryu is still sf2 ryu or closer to sf 3 ryu. if there was a big difference, either way. couldn't tell you.

apparently, natsume is localizing the psp version of umihara kawase as yumi's odd odyssey!

i don't know if this has been mentioned yet but it probably should be!
