How so? Its a new 2d X game. How is this not awesome? You can make you own hunter. And fight in 2d just like the old X games. I don't get how this isn't 100% awesome? Please explain?

It might have a monthly cost, and it's not coming out here last I checked.

[Mirby]

Yeah. The only online game I play is free, so I'm happy with that. And it's not useful to us if we can't play it. Because, you know, in all likelihood won't come out here.

[Turian]

 

That was my point guys. Go to Capcom's forums and tell them we want this to come out here. It worked for Tasunoko VS Capcom. It could work here, but we won't know unless we try, right?

I.E, There must be demand to get supply.

[Protoman Blues]

I still need more information as to what the game fully entails, plus pricing.  Like I said, if it's a pay-per-month type of game, I'm not getting it.

[Turian]

With this level of interest I hope it's a throwaway title with no relevance whatsoever, I also hope it doesn't come out here if no one else is excited because that would mean [acid burst] poor sales and the end of the X series in America. Man, you guys are some grouchy turds lately.

[Dr. Wily II]

... You know, I know you are excited about this Turian, but this game is still in the early works of revealing stuff.
Not much is known at the moment, and that's why people are not warming up to the idea yet.

I suggest giving the people a bit more time, give the game a bit more time to reveal.
THEN let the people decide.

[Cpie]

I bet this game won't even happen. Stuff dates from 2007..

yeah your right. Besides, even if we don't get to play it, you will right doc?

[Dr. Wily II]

Based on the recent surge in popularity in Korean MMORPGs here, there's a high chance the game will be distributed here as well.
Then, I might try.

They perfer fanservice (Marvel vs Capcom 3's technically fanservice, because it's a man's wet dream come true), it's RPM ya know. It should be renamed tittiest perfect memories where this is going.

I'm intrested how the points system works, and the boss gate system however.

[Dr. Wily II]

And in which of the recent posts have people mentioned fanservice?
All I've seen so far are comments that this is an MMO, and the complaints of possible monthly subscriptions, and how it might not be localised.

Please get your facts right or read posts before making ANY comments, jokes or not.

I know, it's just that the hype for this MMO is just dead compared to the relatively high MvC3. Plus it's a KOREAN MMO, so I expect it to be free with bonuses costing the usual price range (about 20 for a points card so you can customize further).

And I also know it has a slim chance for being in the states, but look at Nexon, which was origionally Korean/Japan-bred.

[Dr. Wily II]

And you compare MvC3 and this game... Why?
It's not like they are similar, one's a sparring game for crying out loud.
And you expected similar hype?

You know what?
Nevermind. This discussion ends here.

Back to the original MMO discussions.

[Gaia]

Why I can't hardly keep a convo going. 

Still, I'm quite intrested in the boss mechanics, if any.

[Mirby]

Wily's avvy goes well with his posts... lol

Turian, while I admit there is a possibility it MIGHT come out over here, I also think that there's a very low probability. If it does well over there, then the odds may go up. And if it has a subscription fee, then that might lower the potential number of players. I'd play it if it were free and localized, but I don't have the money to invest in it if it were a subscription fee.

That being said, I hope it turns out well. Now I wonder what style it'll be... probably 2.5D, eh?

Because MMO's are stupid, and none of us will get to play it.

[Sky]

how do we know it's not going to be like one of those korean mmos that has a cash shop instead of monthly subs?

this is japan we're talking about

[OBJECTION MAN]

$25 a subtank. PAY UP.

[Turian]

Because MMO's are stupid, and none of us will get to play it.

If it plays like the original Mega Man X games, and it has the same mechanics, only with custom armor parts and coloring, how is that stupid? Do you honestly think it will be like WOW? Just for the record, MMO's ARE stupid. I'm with ya. But saying none of us will get to play it, that may be so, but only if we don't ask for it. We have to show that we want it to be released.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Network speeds in the USA just aren't good enough for a real action packed 2D game with 50+ players in a single area. It just wouldn't really work without some kinda lag, which may cause you to lose that wall slide, miss that critical jump, and dash into an enemy by accident.

[Turian]

Fair enough point. Not sure it's valid though. I don't know enough about other places network speeds to argue your  opinion validly. I do know that I have a 20Mbps line dedicated to my house. It's fast.

Edit: I see how that sounded now. I meant that i can't argue the point because I can only rely on first hand knowledge. I don't know anything about the rest of the country. I only know about MY personal connection. SO I am simply saying, I don't know if your point has merit, or if it doesn't.

[Mirby]

You might have a good connection, but what about everyone else who has a worse one than you? That's a bit selfish right there, if you ask me. I HAVE A GOOD CONNECTION SO I WON'T EXPERIENCE LAG! Yeah, good for you. One person's good connection does not equate an entire nation's connection. I admit to not knowing much about network speeds, but what you said struck me as selfish and rude. I'm sorry.

Regardless of that, as OBJECTION MAN stated, network speeds aren't good enough throughout the country in order for a dedicated server to host 50+ players at a playable speed. And if they limited the players per server to say, 25, or even 10, then there'd be too many servers. There's also the cost of maintaining the servers. If not enough people are willing to play a game that would run slowly on their computer and/or pay a monthly fee, then maintaining the servers might not be feasible. It also comes down to the economics of bringing it here. You may be excited for it; not many others in the states are.

And if you don't know a lot about network speeds, don't call the point of someone who does invalid. It's a lot more valid than yours.

[Turian]

Hold up. Don't get mad, re-read my post. I was saying that my connection is good, but I don't know about other places. I also said I couldn't argue his point validly because I don't have the information. I'm not trying to be rude. Put a leash on it please.

[Mirby]

I'm not mad at all; I was just explaining something. I understand what you said; the way you worded it struck me as selfish, that's all. Sorry if I offended you; apparently I read something from your post that wasn't there. My bad.

[Turian]

It's all good! Just wanted you to know that I meant no harm!
