I've somehow already played almost 8 hours, not sure how. Feel like I barely did anything yet

I have not touched the story mode. As a long time competitive fighting game player, This game is absolutely incredible. The biggest problems with it are the lack of tutorial mode, especially considering there are so many mechanics to learn. No trial mode, etc. Input delay online is very minimal. Customization options are insanely detailed. Great variety in stages and characters. I dont like a few minor things about how the online is structured (cant quick rematch in lobbies if theres only 2 people, cant switch stage in the quick player match option) but overall, this is one of the greatest launches ever for a fighting game on PC, period. Especially for a major studio. Congrats namco.

same old same old, trying to get you hooked so you'll spend 1 billion dollars on paper magic/mtgo. its not the game we're looking for. disgusting

the game is not playable as intended (locked at 60 fps). even loading into training mode with all the settings turned all the way down the fps is pretty bad (probably running at around 35?). and you cant configure your stick on top of that? lol. my com puter isnt even that bad. 4.2 ghz overclock 8 core and gtx 650 ti boost (not the best card but i can play plenty of games just fine, especially with the graphics turned down..and this game's graphics aren't even that good, lol)

tom brady, one of the testers mentioned that the pc version was outsourced to another company. pretty obvious because of how horrendously unoptomized it is. purchase the xbox one version or ps4 version.

I can't comment on the game in its current state, but can overall.

as a former "pro-level" player of this game when it first hit consoles I can say that the mechanics are overall very smooth/well implemented..and im sad that its competitive scene at major tournaments sort of evaporated. the few tournaments i went to early on were stacked and had a TON of players interested in it.

I followed the crowd myself and stopped playing but I have fond memories of the early days of the game/when i picked it back up after the steam version dropped. The major reason why I personally dropped the game was due to the constant changing. I know the game is Mike Z's love child and he wants to keep tweaking and tweaking and tweaking... but the constant changes coupled with the complete openness of the development process for new characters actually decreased my interest in the game rather than boosting it.

Overall I say buy it for the beautiful artwork, soundtrack and sound mechanics but dont expect too many people to play with. and if you are brand NEW know that people have been grinding for like 3 years at this point so you probably wont even be able to hit them and they will reset you 100 times until you die.

There's one map. I'm playing it over and over again shooting people. the graphics are cool, but I've turned them all the way down to get 150+ fps steady. the shotgun is stupid only because its a very confimed map. Get rekt by really good players all day. improving is where the fun is at. Feign death is useless in this mode but i can see how it could be interesting in large ut2k4 style ctf maps that are coming. cloak is interesting, but maybe too short and too long to reload to be relevant. NEEDS crosshair customization. This should be the number one configy thing they should add first. FOV selector is cool (play on max ^-^). music is cool. hit detection is nice. people will rek you. buy alpha.
