Support NeoGAF

[Dahbomb]

After everything that happened at da beech last year, didn't Capcom make a statement about them still wanting to help and having a commitment to the developing scene out there? Wonder why they're not involved this year.

PR lip service gonna PR lip service.

Not getting involved with VXG is the most helpful thing they can do for the community out there Kappa

I don't think getting involved with VxG is the best idea consdiering last year...

 

[enzo_gt]

I guess maybe not VxG directly, but having a hand in making things better like Brazil.

 

[RockTurtle]

yeah i think brazil needs more love given the level of attention and detail achieved there. would serve great as a south american big event.

 

[Shouta]

If they're lookign to expand support, then I would agree with Brazil. Bigger market and it's upcoming on the world stage.

I think that was Mad Catz.

 

[enzo_gt]

I think that was Mad Catz.

I wasn't sure whether it was MadCatz or Capcom.

 

[Kumubou]

Wasn't Matt Dalghren at VxG last year? Or was that one of the many things that they overpromised?

 

[CO_Andy]

Wasn't there collusion between Jwong and chrisG last year at VxG, or am i thinking of a different event?

 

[SloaneRisette]

I think he was there last year.

Wasn't Haunts there too?

 

[Busaiku]

I like how BlazBlue's best commentary duo were James and David.

It was collusion between Flocker and ChrisG in GF.

Collusion between JWong and ChrisG was at Texas Showdown over one and a half year ago.

 

[Astarte]

just do your best!! :C

I don't think I can :<

Spoiler

The ones I did make were just jotaro's corpse on the beech with sunglasses

Cammy cosplay

 

[petghost]

i thought xie and dacid did a really good job as well but i hope that general commentary for these games gets better in the future. i think it could draw more people in. now it seems like its a lot of dudes who transcribe the combos in real time or biscuits talking about sherry or some shit. also i think the semi-ironic waifu pillow kind of stuff was funny at one point but i think its getting kinda stale and might be a bad look as far as attracting newcomers. quite possible that im generalizing and pretty sure im over-thinking this.

 

[Anne]

Nah, the waifu stuff actually needs to get toned down. It gets to be a bit much for people, it's a really common complaint.

Edit: I like the light heartedness and the fact that we do get lots of good moments like the cosplay and pretty much everything about Dora at Evo. Just, some of the waifu and hug pillow stuff could be toned down a notch.

I agree!

 

[MiniBossBattle]

The top 8 BlazBlue commentary made it for for me; explaining mechanics & showing the implications of why it mattered at that time in the match.

Yeah I really enjoyed their commentary

 

[Shouta]

Alpacas are better than Waifus.

 

[El Sloth]

You know, I haven't heard a single person talk about the indie game showcase they had this year. Were there any promising looking stuff? I was hoping one of the game news outlets would have at least gotten some footage of the game there like at PAX.

 

[kirblar]

I did not realize you were suffering from Alopecia.

I think this is a good example of why Tekken 7 stuff was saved for SDCC. The tournaments overshadow all, its not a great launching pad for getting stuff to the media.

why is that a thing for sg?

Not sure aside from it being cute. I do know several of the crew have Alpacas though.

Arrested Development reference.

I remember playing scrub level blazblue with someone I just met and he wouldn't stop shouting about waifus. I chose Platinum, he shouted about sniffing her armpits, and I've never played Blazblue since then.

but shimakaze and idolmaster yo

I'm guilty of the latter.

omg that's cute

 

[Shouta]

Arrested Development reference.

Oh, that explains it. I've seen it but I actually don't remember many quotes from AD, lol

I hate you.

 

[Anne]

The alpaca thing is a trend in Japan atm too. I guess sG and some of the PNW dudes just like it?

 

[NEO0MJ]

Maybe he was just trying to freak you out? Besides, do people actually get aroused by armpits? That's just ridiculous.

 

[Astarte]

He already freaked me out by getting incredibly close to me with his BO, it was ridiculous. I only agreed to play him so that he'd stop interrupting my conversations. Also yeah, people also get aroused by vore. It's a weird world :[

Does Justin Wong work in video games?

I find that people who often refer waifus in Arc fighters don't really play them seriously

Like most of animetwitter

 

[Astarte]

Both tags got me

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

remember, this is what you have to look forward to in the second dark age of anime

 

[NEO0MJ]

Both tags got me

And one of them is very true. Did people try contacting Arc during EVO and asking them why they haven't put BB on steam?

 

[Busaiku]

It was asked during SoCal Regionals.
Basically, they don't care.

 

[Kumubou]

Wat

Kirblar has a point -- who from the gaming press was actually at Evo? You had representatives from all of the intra-community sites, but pretty much nobody from any of the bigger sites outside of IGN (and some Japanese sites like 4gamer). It was effectively a slightly enhanced announcement of an announcement.

It was asked during SoCal Regionals.
Basically, they don't care.

Then they're ignorant -- and I mean that literally. They're probably not aware of how popular PC is as a gaming platform outside of Japan.

I was talking about Alpoceia

They genuinely don't give a damn

 

[Busaiku]

They're not even releasing games on X-Box anymore, they really just don't care.

Well that's just stupid. They're literally shrugging off so much money and exposure. I thought they cared after seeing that EVO pot they put out.

 

[CommandThrower]

Fighting games on PC still has a way to go. I think they've recently picked up some steam(no pun intended), with games like USF4, KOF XIII and Skullgirls being available, but the lack of a larger Japanese presence I think is holding the genre back on PC.

While having the original BlazBlue and Guilty Gear Isuka on Steam is kind of a laughable way to test the waters, it's a start...I suppose.

 

[Dahbomb]

All I know is that Tekken 7 better be on PC or I will be pissed. No real reason not to have it on PC at this point.

 

[Infinite]

They're a company that conducts a large majority of their business in Japan where PC gaming doesn't exists.
