Did DBFZ destroy Arcsys' ability to make good fighting games forever?
>>727639667but dbfz was godlike
>>727639791arcsys has had like 4 games since then and they were all shit
>>727640058 Nah man, you're just stuck in the past. Strive had its issues at launch but it's in a way better spot now, and Granblue Rising actually brought some heat. Just because DBFZ was lightning in a bottle doesn’t mean anything after it was doomed. Arcsys is still eating, you just gotta accept their style's evolved.
>>727640058>43. And you may feel that way, but DBFZ and those 3 other games outsold everything Arcsys did before by droves. The sole exception being Blazblue.
>>727640536I hope they decide to make a game that isn't entirely catered towards beginners and they creep back up to catering towards at least intermediate level players.
>>727641669this will never happen, as budgets and dev time cycles continue to bloat fighting game devs will continue to cater to more casual players, especially with the massive success of Strive. this is the fate of every fighting game
>>727639791PC NAEC?I have a feeling people are going to dodge again...
>>727641850The genre survives but at what cost. Games like DNF, GBVSR, and MBTL?
>>727641850hardcore gamers should make their own fighting game which automatically gatekeeps players and see how it turns out
>>727642918it'll remind them of their sex life
>>727641946called it
>>727639667It was the art style change starting with Xrd that made their shit pop off. They have the best art in the genre and its not even close. They could copy paste old bb/gg and it would still sell well (perhaps even better) because of the graphics. Nothing is really close to them at all.
>>727641669>>727641850Strive literally has several specialist characters that require a lot of time investment to be great at, or to even have basic combos happening It only caters towards beginners when it comes to the simple characters like Sol/Ky/Giovanna, you can pick up and play these in a single day but you're still going to need practice to get their specific way of navigating neutral and their pressure>>727644448In part, but the artstyle wasn't enough to save DNF which allegedly was a shitshow in the gameplay areaAs a weird coincidence, Eighting was responsible for gameplay and not Arcsys
>>727640536you are a retarded alt-normalfag
Shame they didn't embrace their roots and remake the KING of KUSOGE
