I was thinking of buying this game but I read some reviews saying that the game sold out or something, can anyone explain?
>>
>>43371155
It sold out twice, once because the devs were too lazy to make their own passion project, and another time when some venture capitalists realized 8 year old girls don't play fighting games and boys aren't gonna pick up a 10 year old fighting game because Vegeta voices the gay deer. The current owner of the IP is an AI company that only picked it up because it came in a bundle with the rights to an Avatar fighting game. A patch that fixes game breaking bugs has been in the beta branch for 2 years but nobody at the company can spend the .0000002 cents to lift a finger and click publish.
>>
>>43371182
Do you recommend buying the game still?
>>
>>43371241
NTA, but the first story chapter is well done... but that's all there is for the story. If you like Arizona then it may be enjoyable to go through, but the lack of any further story makes it depressing.
>>
>>43371241
It's really up to you. The game has fantastic music and visuals and the tutorial is one of the best ones in any fighting game, so much so that it introduced many people to the genre as a whole. Anyone still playing online though is a veteran and you'll only consistently find matches by scheduling them in discords. If you're new to fighting games people will eagerly teach you so you can get better but you have to deal with getting your ass kicked until you can fend for yourself. I guess every sale of the game indicates consumer interest, so there's always a chance the publisher will look into expanding the game, but right now they are currently focused on the Avatar game.
>>
>>43371241
it's worth 5-10$ in its current state just to fuck around with and play the one chapter of story mode they finished, especially if you've got someone to play it with it's still a really fun game that feels good to move around and hit buttons in. Pretty easy ~20 hours of fun in just messing around alone.
if you're looking for something to "get into" I'd pass, at least wait to see if the new owners do anything with it after they're done with the Avatar post launch stuff. Maybe pirate it if you just want to try out a character for a bit or something.
>>
>>43371149
Happy birthday Daniel!
>>
>>43371241
pirate it and see if you like it. Then buy it.

if avatar was so close to being finished why did maxent sell it to GGI instead of just finishing it

it probably wasn't really close
they bought it almost a year ago and have been working presumably full tilt since then, and it's still launching with only 12 characters, two of which are reskins and need updates post launch to get unique sprites, no real lobbies, jank unfinished training mode, no replay takeover, no CPU difficulty settings etc
fighting games are just a lot of fucking work

Deserves to flop.

the release date is so suspiciously close to the release of that new aang movie on paramount+ that i'm nearly 100% certain they forced this to release before it was finished to go alongside it
>>
Bump
>>
>>43373822
it's mechanically excellent but also really obviously needed two or three more months of development
GGI not having enough intelligence to delay it again, or possibly enough clout to tell Paramount to fuck off and chill for a bit no one gives a shit about the movie anyway, is kind of a bad sign

you cannot make me care about avatar fighter
>>
>>43393118
I care about it only in the sense that its success may or may not allow TFH to continue development. So, as the eggs are in the same basket, I can only pray for their safety.
>>
>>43393379
>Buy unrelated game cause it failing might harm game you want to continue

Man, that's some high tier stockholm syndrome you got there. I suggest you start making fanfiction instead. Preferably porn.
>>
>>43393771
>unrelated
its being made by the same developers/publisher. They explicitly said that they want to take care of their Avatar game before going back to their older titles (TFH, Diesel Legacy)

the success of that game is intrinsically tied to ours. If you fail to see that then you're retarded.
>>
>>43393948
We've seen this hundreds of times before. Remember all the retards begging people to buy Halo 5 so that Halo 6 would be good?
>>
>>43394261
the difference between this and that is that so far it looks like these guys actually give a shit, wereas 343 just wanted to take massive indian diarrhea shits all over a franchise they inherited and hate to their core.
>>
>>43394309
Not even Mane6 gave a shit about TFH, what makes you think some random jeets who accidentally bought the pony game in a bundle with Avatar would lift a finger to improve the game? At best we're getting a vibecoded update and maybe some AI genned art for Baihe's unfinished animations.

But the people that care are even in the team at all? or they just disperse away to different places, as much we know the staff slowly were leaving and new people started to get in the team, at the moment they decide to return no one of the original staff will be in charge of TFH

>>43395008
level 3s were cool, everyone wanted them and if they had taken a few months to implement like they should have instead of fucking years(and still release broken) they'd have been a well liked if not that competitively significant feature
the problem wasn't that they weren't wanted, it's that they were shown off 80% finished in december 2019 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHhejm2ZxNo) and then didn't release until June 2022 and still had most of the issues that were obvious the first time they were playable at a demo at xanadu or something literally hundreds of days earlier
any explanation for the game's troubles that doesn't begin with "the devs just did nothing for a year" is incomplete.
