Dacidbro Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 i hate on bb all the time and i still dont like this game if you want better commentary play a better game That doesn't even-- Hey wait a minute you're trolling aren't you. :[ I'm on to you.
Linear04 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Uh, no offense, but isn't it your job as the person who doesn't like it to go play something else instead? :P my job as the person who doesnt like it is to make other people not like it, thats why i try play like an asshole
Airk Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 my job as the person who doesnt like it is to make other people not like it, thats why i try play like an asshole I'd say it's noble of you to endure such pain for your cause if it weren't such a stupid cause. :P
ZeroRaider Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Linear for masochist, confirmed. We may say things like X's Y is so Z all time out of humor, but thats going to probably ring as true to a newcomer or observer of the match commentary, making that the main idea spread, from the very people who play the game? Is that where we're getting at right now?

Is that where we're getting at right now? That would be the gist of it. It goes sortof like: #1: Random person happens to tune in to some BlazBlue. Because, say, he opens Evo Stream 2. #2: Random person looks at the game and says "Huh, this looks pretty cool...maybe I should check it out..." #3: Random person hears the commentor, who is presumably someone who is knowledgeable about the game, saying things like "This game is so stupid" or "Mash harder! This game is so mashy!" and starts to think "Huh, maybe it's NOT worth dropping $30 on after all, I think I'll stick to Street Fighter." #4: Random person gets in a discussion somewhere, and quotes the commentary as "truth" because, you know, if a commentator says it, it's gotta be true. It's not like it's some fiddly little detail that they could've got wrong, right? Basically, we are making ourselves look stupid and chasing away potential new players for the sake of a joke/meme that no one actually thinks is funny.
Star-Demon Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Actually, after watching a lot of spirit juice I had the opposite effect. As well, a lot of the time an angry Let's Play will only result in more people picking up the game. I agree that the community should support the game positively, but I think it's far more important to be open, positive and supportive to new players that do show up.
Dacidbro Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Angry lets play is different, if a single player game makes someone rage out it's "challenging" Angry commentator for a fighting game speaks "badly designed" or "imbalanced"
pktazn Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I like how this thread went from "Ideas to put up on the front page" to "Commentary: The good, bad and ugly and what makes it so"
Kuuhaku Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 You'd think they'd actually stick on topic. But what about the topic creator saying community collection for SRK front page?
Kamui Moon Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 if you guys think that commentary is the reason your game has no respect, then you're overlooking the very simple truth: your game is the actual problem. why are you still talking about commentary?
Airk Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 if you guys think that commentary is the reason your game has no respect, then you're overlooking the very simple truth: your game is the actual problem. Wrong, thank you for playing. We have some nice parting gifts for you. We think that our game gets no respect outside its playerbase because its own playerbase doesn't respect it, and yet they REFUSE TO LEAVE. :P Seriously. I have no problem with people bashing this game. Bash away! Have at it! (Though please, "Character X is BS" and "oh, so mashy!" are the game bashing equivalents of "Oh yeah! well... you're FAT!"). But for heaven's sake, go do it on a forum that's not for this game. Go over to the GG forums and talk about how much BB sucks. Go to the Melty Blood forums or the Arcana Heart 3 forums and bash away. Just leave those of us who happen to like it alone. It shouldn't be much to ask.
Linear04 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 why would you talk about a game on a forum not for the game.... thats the dumbest thing ive heard yet
KayEff Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 funny how a topic for ideas went to hell and became a complaints board i wonder why
Leaf Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 blazblue should stop making characters like noel if it wants to be taken seriously
Nini Heart Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 They should stop playing Russian Roulette with their tiers too.
Circuitous Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 if you guys think that commentary is the reason your game has no respect, then you're overlooking the very simple truth: your game is the actual problem. why are you still talking about commentary? Don't pretend GG commentary is that much better. Maybe we'd have better commentary if the community could stop turning every discussion into bitching, though?
MAdBater Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 blazblue should stop making characters like noel if it wants to be taken seriously At least she is not a trap.
Dacidbro Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) funny how a topic for ideas went to hell and became a complaints board i wonder why Because A: when someone brought up commentating as a way to get good exposure, a BB player commentating was exampled as a good choice and a GG player commentating was exampled as a bad choice, then a number of people disagreed, showing it's not such a linear topic and B: A number of GG players trolled the thread So the answer is clearly that GG is the devil In all seriousness though, this BB v GG bullshit has got to go. It makes both communities look primitive and petty. Lets cut it out, both players can prefer either game and enjoy either game, or even both! Recognize they're different games and get over it. If you have some personal grudge with someone in either community, figure it out or forget about it, but don't hyperbolate the problem by passive aggressively bringing it up in every big conversation. We're better than this. Edited August 16, 2011 by Dacidbro
Star-Demon Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 We're off topic, again... Noel: She's adorable DFC, but her gameplay concept is inherently stupid. In BB3 she will play very differently without Bolverk...hopefully. The Game: The game is fine. Its only real problems are the corners of any stage - IMHO. Commentary: I don't think it makes as much an impression on others as we think. Get hype, though, people. SRK: Whatever they wanna do. We're really talking about what DL could do for itself. Conclusion: want more people? want better people? Clean yourselves up.
Dacidbro Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Actually this thread is about what we can do for the SRK Homepage
Star-Demon Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Actually this thread is about what we can do for the SRK Homepage I think that was settled on page one or two...big matches and news updates - maybe some fun or silly stuff would do the job just fine. Homo-genius compilation!
Dacidbro Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Yeah I guess that's really another problem with this topic. It's hard to continue elaborating, there's already been good contributions.
huey253 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) i uploaded top 8 teams the other day. some of that content could go with the Scene Interviews. I think a BB "hype" video should be made. My idea is that it shows off alot of the cool stuff that each of the characters can do. I could actually start working on it myself, but i want something like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnw_OIguFF4&feature=player_embedded ) but cooler, longer, and more hype i guess. Pretty much a short couple minute video to make people intrested in picking up the game. EDIT: i mean just look at the comments on that video, kinda proves my point Edited August 17, 2011 by huey253
