@mastermalone Thanks you save me some money, That really sucks tho I was looking forward to playing
um why would they let you play offline when it is a BETA to test their SERVERS, that was the entire point of the beta, to test the netcode and improve it, it is NOT i repeat NOT a demo. it is something to help them get the best connection possible when the full game comes out, this is purely to help SF5 have a smooth launch and a smooth online lifespan, nothing more. and to be fair this is one of the best betas i have ever played simply because it is doing it not for a cash grab, but to help the game in the long run, this is an ACTUAL beta. not an early sneak peak to the game.
, Capcom being trying to balance pretty much the same game since 2009. I'd say NRS would do fairly good balancing MKX for 7 years, better than Capcom has in my opinion.
Funny thing is, a DeeJay just won Topanga League B in Japan and is now in Topanga League A ... so ... Dan is all alone now.Unless it's DeeJay or Dan.
El Fuerte's EX Quesadilla Bomb got so strong that nowadays, El Fuerte has become viable in tourneys.
I agree.
Really? Props to them. =O
Dude he's pretty good now.
That's what I thought at first when Ultra dropped and he still had alot of the same problems, just feels like he can't keep up at all in the meta. Not deplorable but not top 10 IMO.
Umm...because I don't like being told what to do and when to do it. Is that a good enough explanation for you? I'll give you the beta explanation, you are correct. I'm fully aware of why these are needed and how they work in a real test setting. I just figured that they would at LEAST let you fool around with it offline while you wait for improvements/additions to provide feedback on. Moving on now.
You're welcome! I'm sure you would do the same for others had you paid for the pre-order and found this out the hard way like I did. Just wait for the full release. Take care.
nope, they have a QA department for gameplay fixes and testers and all that good stuff, this is purely a beta, if you want to screw around with an uctual offline build you have to go to a convention or a major tournament, hell with the beta they even said that it would only be in intervals, this is purely to test servers, that is all the public is for. and besides, even though it is advertised as a little bonus, it really isnt, hell you get it if you plop down 5 bucks on the game, you pay $65 for the game, just as any other game you pre-order, $5 for reserving the game day 1 so you are guarunteed a copy, and $60 for the the actual game, hell if you dont like how the game is turning out you can just go back, say you no longer want the money to be put towards the game and boom, the beta was free. no money wasted, your point is that you wasted money when in reality to participate in the beta you dont need to spend a dime.
Yep, I still had to pay money to participate. Money was still involved. True, if I don't like the game, I can request Sony to refund the money I spent on it via the PSN pre-order. I'm well aware of how QA testing works. I'm a software engineer working for a company out in Glendale, CA. In a real fighting game beta test, the developers will post where they were going to set up shop and invite players to come and enjoy/play test the game. They hold these beta tests for about 3 or more days. Once done and all the data from feedback is collected, they go back to the office and work on the fixes/improvements etc.
money was involved to pre-order the game yes, how much do you pay to get a game day 1? $65, how much does it cost to pre-order SF5, $65, it is universal, this is just letting the people who pre-ordered the game test the connection for the game since they will be the ones playing the game day 1. I however will concede that it would be nice to have a playable offline demo on the side, time to learn new characters etc. but unfortunately that isnt what this is for.
You also could pre-order from amazon, get your code, then cancel your pre-order, like most people did. No money involved.
Missing the point. The team has already stated multiple times that the beta test was meant to test the netcode. This is different from the preview "betas" in that those are pretty much marketing exercises.
Very true statement. I agree with you 100%.
I paid full price for the game on PSN. It's all good, man. You were correct with the points you made. And yes, it would have been nice to enjoy the offline mode as a demo.
