I just had someone telling me if I can't tell the new street fighter installment from the old one then i must not have eyes. It looks practically identical to the previous three installments. I think I'm done trying to interact with gamers for literally anything.
You have to take a very cursory glance to not find differences between Street Fighter 5 and 6. The gameplay systems are very different, 6 has an actually good single player mode, the net code is vastly improved. If you're just looking at the graphics, you're doing the same thing this post is criticizing but for the opposite goal. Street Fighter 6 is one of the AAA home runs, especially when you consider the disasterous launch of SF5.
it's a niche game that i know little about, have no interest in, and definitely am not going to shell out money for; he's bitter that I don't care and I'm not impressed that a franchise older than I am shat out another entry.
Do you even like video games? Judging by your comments in this thread, they make you angry and bitter, so I don't know why you bother to post about them.
I don't play a niche game franchise enough to see the difference between last year's iteration and this one, therefore I must not like games at all. It's FIFA with anime characters to me, doesn't mean I don't like other things.
"A niche game franchise" lmao Street Fighter is one of the most popular and well known game series in the world. I won't say it's the best fighting game franchise, but it is very much a household name just as much as Mario or Pokémon are.
...it's a niche genre bro. That's not the same as being obscure.
fine, whatever. i still don't know or care what the difference is and neither do the majority of people, pedantry notwithstanding. because it's niche.
I know literally one person who plays fighting games seriously and keeps up with the market, to everyone else they're once-on-a-while party games, if that. It's not a bad thing, it just is. Calm down, Capcom won't go on a date with you for defending their honor against the word "niche".
next you'll be insisting dance dance revolution isn't niche because everyone knows what it is and some people actually play it.
The irony...
Street Fighter 1 was from 1987. Street Fighter 5 is from 2016. This is hardly a yearly franchise. Each release is a cornerstone of the fighting game genre. If you don't like them or are uninterested, that's obviously fine. But you're using your ignorance to justify hating Street Fighter. That just doesn't make sense and makes you come across as bitter. I would urge you to play the games you like, and ignore the games you don't like. You'll be generally happier.
of course it isn't annual, who said that? I never said I hated it either, I'm just not interested. it's like nobody in here understands things like hyperbole, or figures of speech, or not caring about a niche genre. weirdos
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Street_Fighter_video_games also i went and checked just to see because i was curious, and it has seen near-annual releases since 1990. So like when I said anime fifa i meant like more my attitude towards it, but apparenty it's also (nearly) true the way you took it.
