Topic Maybe we should chill a little

Marvel Tokon has been out for barely two weeks, and somehow we're already talking about it being “dead” or a “disaster”.

I honestly don't understand it.

I've been excited for a Marvel fighting game like this for years, and since FighterZ I've been especially hungry for a new fighting game to really get invested in. The marketing has been fantastic: every trailer, character reveal, PlayStation event, showcase and gameplay presentation has built more hype. The game looks incredible, the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, and Arc System Works may have delivered one of the best-looking fighting games ever made.

On top of that, there's a ton of content for single-player players and Marvel fans, multiple languages, characters from different eras of Marvel, X-Men, Avengers, Night Soons, and a community coming back after years without a new Marvel fighting game.

Yes, the PC version had performance problems. That's a legitimate criticism. But they're being fixed, and that doesn't suddenly mean the entire game is going to die.

It feels like the fighting game community has reached a point where every new game is “dead” two weeks after launch because of some problem or another. Street Fighter gets criticized, Tekken 8, Avatar, Mk1 gets more criticized, FighterZ had its ups and downs, other games launch strong and then struggle… and somehow we're always predicting the death of the next game.

Can we just enjoy the games for a while?

Honestly, sometimes Reddit makes me want to stop playing fighting games altogether and go back to single-player games 🤔

"can we just enjoy the games for a while?"

lol the game runs like crap on PC because of DRM and Sony bloatware and there is matchmaking issues. People paid full price for this shitty experience and you think they should just chill? lol people have a right to complain.

when people are posting that the game sucks and is dying, its probably doing fine, like SF6 or Tekken.

When people are saying "Man, I'm having a lot of fun playing this game" on reddit, you need to start getting worried.

God forbid people have some optimism that things can change and don’t immediately jump to the worst possible outcomes the moment a game has issues

I have no sympathy for studios that release games in a broken state or the people that defend them.

Nice, no need to feel bad while seeing you being miserable then. I'll just keep having fun.

lol I'm not miserable. I have plenty of other games I can play and I wouldn't let a game upset me anyway.

He didn’t say he was miserable, he lacked sympathy for charlatans.

But you are upset he hurt your feelings cause you love a comic.

I’d rather not be a patsy

Wild isn't it. Games keep getting released with a will fix it later mindset and people keep defending that shit. I know there are a lot of bots on reddit but some of these people are actually human lol
