I'm fairly sure the series has quite a number of fans, so here's an lookover on the Monster World Collection: http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=795627...cUserId=5655917

Yes, you did. Sony lied, as usual.

PAL PS3s testing for compatibility: http://kotaku.com/gaming/eragon/pal-ps3-ba...date-244005.php And yes, it sucks. Well, who wants to play MGS2 now anyway? Of course there will be upgrades to the firmware and stuff to address that, but looks like they have a lot of work to do on it.

No problem. It's a good port, save for the crap music. It's still VF*1* though, and extremely dated. Though I have the ROM and it's fun to mess around with for sure.

Please go back and read the discussion thoroughly before commenting. You missed the point. There is nothing "going on." It was tongue-in-cheek and is now over. Thank you.

And VF5 is being beaten by MELTY BLOOD.

I kind like liked the Tobals' (completely different) Quest modes! And Devil Within wasn't such a bad idea...it's just that the actual mode was extremely horrible (as was Death by Degrees, but DW was free at least). And I did dig the Edge Master modes in the Soul games, even if they weren't exactly shooting for the same thing, and rather just made up arbitrary guidelines. Not every one of these 1 player modes *has* to shoot for realistic AI and one-on-one fighting gameplay. However, as far as a 1 player mode that was straight up 1-on-1 fighting, I totally agree. In most fighters, the 1 player mode(s) are mostly something to keep you busy until you unlocked everything.

Maybe once you've learned the game well/mastered it, however, how well does the game do in actually getting you to that point, without you having to learn it through hard knocks? Is the A.I., for instance, fairly well done, or does it just use upped damage, lame patterns, and encourage you to discover A.I. exploits? Is there a decent practice mode? VF4 seemed to do extremely well on those basis. And not every fighting game is a hardcore fighter, and often the 1 player experience shines, even though it's not going to be a staple of fighting game tournaments. Not every fighter that has no tourney scene is irredeemable trash.

I wouldn't say that's entirely accurate. However, fighting games tend to be scored/ranked in a 1 Player vacuum. Any fight game, even when game has mediocre or even poor gameplay, can often escape the critic hammer if they throw enough 1 player crap in the game to do. Of course, online play is the exception. Any POS game with online play will usually get an extra 2/10 tacked onto their score. Although some sites have decided that if you don't have online play your game is going to *lose* points, too.

Isn't "argumentum ad numerum" actually referring to the number of people who agree, i.e. popularity, and not numerical ratings/rankings? Which at this point would be in Tekken's favor anyway?

There were 2 seperate 1up posters who said that Tekken is poor because they have "beaten Tekken 3 blindfolded" or "beat Tekken Tag with my eyes closed." These are probably some of the same people who would whine that Jinpachi is too hard. Plus, such a point is pretty much moot for judging a fighter's worth when human vs. human matches are played. And pretty much by definition, the majority of *both* Tekken and VF's camps are going to probably be casual players. However, VF fans have an overblown sense of superiority because the game press says they're playing the "better" series. Regardless of whether said players are any good at "their" game or not.

...only matters when it isn't flat out wrong Toshinden (on Playstation) was more critically successful than Virtua Fighter on Saturn, lest you forget. Are you going to argue that those rankings were from people who actually were knowledgeable about fighting games? Take an honest look at some of the scores Mortal Kombat Deception scored. When it comes to fighting games, the video game media is usually unqualified for actually reviewing and comparing games. When did I say critical success is the be-all, end-all indicator of a games' worth? EDIT: to clarify I wasn't comparing the Toshinden Saturn port to the Saturn VF.

And, in general, VF players are casuals and/or complete posers.

It's deep. It's so deep they can't describe it. Just accept it. Every magazine says so! Where's my essay, WWM?

No, it sounds like a clueless hack reviewer who fails to make valid arguments to justify his opinion, and acts like a half-wit when they are challenged. Don't join the tard brigade that is most of the me-too Virtua Fighter fans nodding their heads at this stupidity.

This week's Virtual Console releases: Tecmo Not-Super Bowl -- NES Double Dungeons (NOT Dragon) -- TG 16 Sonic Spinball (not 2, 3, or Knuckles) -- GEN Nothing really worth a d/l, IMO.

After that was posted the author posted an even more retarded article on his blog, where he called the Tekken series a "bowl of piss." http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=793696...549175#comments Anya and I harangued the author on that already on his blog/the 1up message boards. He's still an unapologetic, ignorant tard.

I know, I'll be working on an update soon. It's just I'd had work and applying for a better job tying up a good bit of free time, sadly.

Anya and I have seen it. It sucks, horribly. Don't even bother clicking. Although Ced might get a nice laugh out of how flat-out stupid it is.

No idea, but I know it was one of the top selling PS1 games of all time, given several GH reprints. Oh, found this funny on the jpn chart: Donkey Kong Country SNES Nintendo 2,996,250 I thought Japan *hated* this game and it bombed horribly? At least that's what the gaming press (and Miyamoto) would have you think.

Not too bad considering his name sounds like he has equal chance of being a drug addict or rapist.

Ok, I'd heard 3 and 6. It's those damn tenths of a million that get you.
