Thread Title is self explanatory. Those are the qualities that most of the threads on site revolve around, so I think this is a fair question. I want to emphasize that it’s not meant to be backhanded or upsetting, my aim is to generate a legit discussion.
If balance, depth, and mechanics are your priorities, why would you be playing an NRS product when products like Virtua Fighter, Guilty Gear, etc are available?
NRS has a style over substance legacy. These other offerings have a legacy of depth and balance. Virtual fighter 5 is considered to this day to be the deepest and most balanced 3D fighter of all time. Yet that game is extinct.
Do fighting game players really value the things they say that they do, or is there much more to be said about package and presentation than we let on?
I’m not always great at articulating myself online, what I’m getting at here is that full all it’s mechanical shortcomings we are all still here rather than elsewhere. Are we loyalists? Are we hopeful? Are we in denial? ... or do we genuinely like this because of some other charms. If so I’d like to discuss those charms rather than the relentless complaining. If we can’t talk about anything good then shouldn’t we be playing something else?
