so i get home from cd warehouse after paying 20$ for virtua fighter 4 and here\'s MY thoughts
1. open package
2. inspect disk for dust, lint, scratches, etc and realize im looking at BLUE and not silver. hmmmmm, no DVD. :eek:
3. get over initial shock of not being on a DVD
4. relapse into shock of not being on a DVD
5. come to grips that its not the end of the world that its not a DVD and that god doesnt hate me afterall
6. put disk into PS2 and watch pretty cool intro
7. immediately start arcade mode and pick lei fei [shaolin monk]
8. NO ANALOG STICK SUPPORT! d-pad only. GRRRRRRRR!
9. play a few matches, sense a pattern emerging
10. realize im mashing buttons
11. play a few more matches
12. still mashing buttons and winning
13. press eject button
14. place GTA3 back in and resume "happy time"
-
Wait, wait..
You no like?
You say button basher?
Me= :( If you say, button basher.
No DVD?
:evil:
-
man all im hearing is this is the greatest fighting game ever or something.
i was gonna rent it but blockbuster dont have it yet.
-
I personally like the dpad better than the analog for fighting games.. I\'m still getting this game, but don\'t know when. :(
-
MM, where is this cd warehouse...was it used? even Eb sell games thats newly release used game for like $45.99
-

MM I hate to say but there is no way you can get this game used for $20. No NO WAY!!1 I went to SoftWare Etc. and seen a VF4 demo runing and did you notice on the players all those jaggies? What the hell? Yep the intro is cool! When the Demo was runing I seen a fight in the beach level. I can\'t believe the jaggies.
-
VF4= crap.... I\'ll plug in my dreamcast and play soul calibur.
-
no way?
all thier games are "used" but they only take ones in good - mint condition, and they resurface everyone they sell
ebworld and funcoland are a frickin rip by selling them for 5$ off retail full price and claiming them used. hah, i mock anyone who shops there
GC - PS2 - xbox
games are 24.99 + tax
plus they have a punchcard that gets you 8$ off if you fill it
obviously i used my coupon for VF4
i get all my games there
sour grapes, is the term i believe, :)

last week, i got rallisport and onimusha genma alone
oh and about jaggies on VF4, thats a known problem, although i didnt see any "blur", *cough*
-

I know you can buy used games for very less but VF4 just came out only less than a week and people are trading them in aready? Even if VF4 with bad surface could sell for more than $20. ?
/me thinks its a rip disc. ;)
-
there is a way to tell if it a genuine PS2 disk: look at the data part of the disk the are 4 or 5 PS logos you have to look at it it the right angle to see them but they are there.
:hat:ScottyJ:hat:
-
they\'re not trading them in
they pay 15$ cash for games
some kid probably got it as a gift or stole it from someone / a store. regardless, i get new games for dirt cheap
tis good to be the king!
oh, and chew on this for a bit
[i love my scanner]

piracy = lame, btw
-
Your lucky... im stuck paying full price, 50 dollers a game is murder.
btw do u buy alot of these newly release games and sell it off ebay and make a loads of profit? jus wondering cuz thats what i would do.
-
indeed, i play thru them and then sell them on ebay half.com for about 37$
i just dumped *shudder* wreckless and xbox silent hill 2 last week after beating them
-
It looks like you have very dainty hands mm. ;)

ROFLMAO :laughing:

Button masher? Try turning up the difficutly from "Very Easy" and you might be able to lose....
Also you might want to try Kumitu mode.....that is the bread and butter of this game.
-
it does have jage problems but its a deep fighting gamei love the way you can power character up me and my kids having a ball
-
Now what was i going on about around 2 months ago...
I brought up issues about the jaggies and got hammered for such a statement. yeah, the intro looks nice but it\'s
nothing like the in-game engine. i also felt like picking the issue of very small ring areas, i have no want or need to play
VF4. it held my attention for about 3 bouts, but i stuck with it and came to the conclusion that it\'s not my bag.
But hey, that\'s my opinion as i stated before.
-
pstwo, im not sure what you think yer laughing at
the finger was pointed in yer general direction
/me shrugs

Played it for a few hours in my local importers m8.. he agreed on the issue of jaggies.
So who now thinks that Tekken 4 will be better?.. it\'s just that i got hammered and called a Tekken fanboy for
putting my opinion across in another thread.. now you tell me guys.. did i deserve it?
-
its just cos you said it, nd no one else had played it, theythought it was onna b excellent..tough it still sounds great to me!!
but iv never ben a big fan of vf....i always prefer tekken, but i will see how good it is
-
Yeah, i suppose your right Kopking.. Thinking about it, i\'d have probably been the same. but not quite to the
extent of calling someone a fanboy.
The old thread is here...

I really didn\'t deserve the crap i got, but, life goes on..

No StAnZo, you did not deserve to be called a Tekken fanboy at all. Even Tekken Tag didn\'t have that much jaggies as VF4. VF4 is unplayable with it. I could not believe it. Why can\'t they take it out.
-
I really didn\'t think the jaggies are that noticeable. I thought it would look terrible, but it looks pretty amazing.

It\'s FAR from unplayable because of the jaggies. Gran Turismo had more jaggies and flickering than VF4 and it\'s the best looking PS2 game, IMO.
-
/me too
I am so used to Tekken that I want to run over my opponent when he/she is down..........it is a very cool game...the training mode is one of the best I have seen. The jaggies arent as bad as people think they are...I dont even pay attention to them (maybe I am just used to them by now.......).

Yah, jaggies make GREAT games unplayable... that\'s right. This just in, because a game has jaggies, pstwo says no one can play it. A game with so much depth and incredible gameplay is *unplayable* because of a small graphical issue. If it came from pstwo, the MS fanboy dork who thinks graphics are more important then any other quality in videogaming, then it must be true.
...
*listens to pstwo whistling "If I only had a Brain"*
-
perhaps the lack of blur [which scorns the xbox] confuses him and makes him lose all rational thought
-
I rented the game tonight..
I must say i\'mpressed, i\'ll be buying it when I take it back.
It has to be the deepest fighter i\'ve encountered

LOL! Thats a great putdown. I do agree , pstwo is a moron!
-
so where was all this support when i first announced to the world pstwo\'s idiocy!?!
and pstwo.. *flaunts his copy of tekken tag* ahhh, no jaggies here
-
Come on now guys, i really didn\'t want to start a flamewar. but to be honest a games playability will only
suffer at a minimal due to flickering or jaggies. it just takes the edge off the overall package.
It\'s just noticeable, that\'s all. Imagine if it had AA like TTT. then instead of hearing about jaggies, people would
praise the resolution and clean image in this game.
Makes a big difference in overall presentation i think.
-
I saw vf4 and it looks great to me. Sure it has jaggies but not that bad where it\'s hard to play the game.
P.s. Why is everyone on this forum always taking shots at each other reminds me when I use to visit the ign forums
-
*shudder*
ign forums
-
people need to shut up about jaggies
I have a first gen Japenase ps2 with its launch games, TTT, RRV & Doa2, they are said to be the jaggiest games on the planet but guess what? I didn\'t care! + they are hardly noticable, TTT looks perfectly smooth to me and RRV looks crisp and clear.

So this place is only in Pennsylvania? Fie! I wonder if anyone\'s doing something similar in LA?
-
heh no they are national i believe they have em here in baton rouge, LA but i never think to go to them as i cant remember where they are loacted since i just moved back here
but i got the game must say mm you need to put the diffuculty to normal and play all the way through the arcade mode all the way to dural whom i still havent beaten with lei fei
and akira is a pain in the ass as well on hard - man im so not use to blocking with a button

WORD to C-Man. Dude did you try command practice with Akira? There\'s like 2 of his moves there are no possible to way to execute. You can\'t input the command that fast!
:eek:
-
Rob tell me wich moves they are and I\'ll give it a try.I hav\'nt used Akira yet but I can get thru Lei Fei\'s entire move list in 03:44:25.:D
-
UPDATE:
Just played the American version around a friends house and it is actually a lot cleaner looking than the jap version.
Looks like the extra time they had in development was spent on cleaning up the graphics. It looks loads better.
I take back the jaggies issue on the american version but it stands on the jap version. nice to see what the UK version
is going to be like.
Ahhh.. i\'m all happy now :bounce:

Sunnuva... you\'re right. They have stores in southern california, but not exactly "near" me. Hmmm, might be worth a trip if I\'m ever in the vicinity.

I don\'t remember the names but here is the command:
DOWN K+G, FORWARD P, BACK FORWARD FORWARD P+K
I have the "advice" turned on in training and it says "TRY INPUTING THE COMMAND FASTER"
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can\'t do it, that\'s too fast!!
-
Lots of cool games being released in the UK now. This will be one that i\'ll check out.
-
well have some adivce for you rob
"try inputing them faster"
that help ;)
-
Well I tried it and ummm I don\'t think some of these moves are possible without a joystick.

Yes, they are.
A true Jedi will be able to pull these moves off at will, without thought. Of course, a true Jedi will also need loads of practice and humilation. Oh and a true Jedi would try to ... input the commands FASTER.
:D
(Writer\'s note: I can\'t do it either...:( ).
