Brain science? Really? It's either brain surgery or rocket science. Pick one!
We're judging games by "word is" now and deciding from that "it won't be good?"
I give up.
*Recalls how fun Broforce was yesterday with Leo*. Ummmm...maybe.
So now reviews dont matter, impressions dont matter. Just look at the back of the game box and hope for the best? WTF are you talking about. This is how we learn what is worth buying and not.
Reviews and impressions come from finished products. Story Mode isn't coming for another two months, but since "word is" it's bad... it must be bad...
Whose "word" are we going by exactly...?
Didn't you, yourself say you won't "review" a game until you play it from beginning to end? Who has time traveled and played Story Mode for Street Fighter V in June from beginning to end and let loose "word" it was bad...?
I read it on gaf, it came from a direct quote from the creator that its going to be like 2 hours long.
Here it is http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/02/16/street-fighter-5s-story-mode-dlc-will-take-1-to-2-hours
1-2 fucking hours?! You are waiting till june for 1-2 hours of story. Earlier he said the cutscenes are an hour long, so what you only have an hours wirth of fighting? Pathetic. If you are going to make people wait make it gigantic.
Ono says in the video this "might take you one to two hours or even longer to play through... we can [sic] have sold this separately."
...actually, the Story Mode that's in now probably totals around an hour or two... so when all is said in done: For $59.99 you got about 4 hours of Story Mode in Mortal Kombat X and for $59.99 you'll get about 4 hours of Story Mode in Street Fighter V.
Could even be that SFV's Story Mode turns out to be longer than Mortal Kombat X...
You know how these estimates go, its always on the high end. They should sell it separately. For 2 hours I will pay $5 for that.
Actually just did the math:
Street Fighter V Story Mode as of right now has 17 characters with a total of 45 battles to fight.
Mortal Kombat X has 12 Chapters with 4 Battles each, save D'Vorah who only has 3, so, that's 47 battles to fight.
Just two less battles and there's an entirely new Story Mode coming in 2 months...
...but "word is" at NeoGaf "it won't be good."
Makes complete sense to me.
No you are mixing modes to prove your point which is wrong. The crap stpry mode you have now, is basically arcade mode of MK that also has a story ending for every single character. So if you take every single character in MK, put them through every arcade mode to see all their endings you will get something far longer. I am talking about a real story mode, with voice acting, animated cutescenes and fight variety that goes with the story. There is ZERO chance this half assed 2 hour mode is even close to as good as what MK is doing with story modes.
This is what you are trying to pass up as good content:

A baby!!! A baby beat it! A baby!
No... the Story Mode in Street Fighter V now is a Prologue for the Story Mode coming in June...
...AND Ono has said they are working on adding an Arcade Mode...
...AND the "Endings" for the Towers in MK are mere seconds worth of story.
A BABY!!!!
LOL so they talk before a fight so that makes it a "story" mode. MK did that as well before every battle.
...and allegedly the Baby "beat" Birdie's story, NOT Story Mode entirely...
...If you actually watch the video, the baby is slapping buttons, yet Birdie is doing moves that REQUIRE joystick inputs... someone ELSE is controlling Birdie.
...so you've basically used a bogus, staged video to illustrate your point.
oh good god now there is a conspiracy over the baby. Its clearly a baby beating this fake story mode which EVERYONE says is trash. Four fights, cant change from the super easy difficulty that a baby can beat. Its pointless busy work.
The dad responded to the fake alligations:
For everyone saying it's a fake, Birdie has moves which come out when you RELEASE a button after holding it for a while, and the EX versions come out from holding and releasing the 3punch or 3kick buttons. I'm too busy to waste time trying to fake my baby beating an easy story mode by mashing random button.
The point isnt that the baby can beat it but that the mode is a pile of shit.
No. They show story panels outside of the battle area before the fight, speak dialogue before and after the fight and then show more story panels in conclusion for each of the 2-3 chapters for each of the characters... and then they have an Epilogue Chapter which is pure story.
Ummm... I would know, I've actually PLAYED the game.
You obviously DIDN'T watch the video. The Baby is NOT controlling Birdie in any way, shape or form, but if that's what you want to go with...
Well thats better than what I saw in that video, good. Still if its locked at some ridiculously easy mode where the AI doesnt even fight back at times what is the point? Its supposed to be fun AND have a story.
You are calling a baby a liar, a new low leo, a new low.
Read what the guy wrote. You actually think this guy took the time to make an elaborate fake baby video. Bring me proof.
Even then the video clearly shows the Ai do nothing for huge chunks at a time. Are difficulty modes going to be added later too?
Nevermind the fact there are moments when the baby isn't doing anything and Birdie is still fighting...
Difficulty sliders for Story Mode, Arcade Mode in the works.
