So I've been playing fighting games for most of my life, and I decided to make a go at getting serious about it with SFV, but during the beta, I keep falling into this hole where my attacks are being blocked or countered countered every single time, and every time I think I see an opening, the opponent always manages to block. Are the servers still just laggy due to testing, causing weird input delays? Or is there something I'm not understanding about the mechanics?
You might not be using optimal punishes. It really depends on what your opponent is doing, but if you want a punish, try using a normal (like a punch or kick) because they're the fastest moves. Then you can cancel or link those punches into a combo.
Just found out the Cosmo Canyon glitch, which lets you abuse your affection rank with Barret, doesn't work in the PS4 version. Or rather, it still works but it won't register the trophy. Daaaamn, I'm in Junon now and have made no effort to sweet talk Barret since I was just gunna deal with it in Cosmo Canyon... but now I'm screwed! Was hoping to get the platinum in one playthrough but I guess I'll have to do a second playthrough of disc 1 (with x3 Speed and "HP/MP/Limit Booster") so I can rush to the Gold Saucer date and GET IT RIGHT.
Otherwise, these trophies seem fair. I've never beaten Ruby before but the x3 Speed eliminates a major hassle of the grind. Looking forward to it!
Ever since I was a kid, beating the Weapons always seemed impossible without cheating. What do you have to do in order to beat them legitimately? Knights of the Round with W-Summon?
Never really had interest in a remake. Just don't see the point (besides media exposure and money).
I like to play the original every now and then since the game was such a huge part of my life when it was released. Makes me feel young, which is nice this time of year.
"greatest games line up in xbox history marketing yet"
There's your problem. It's just marketing. Just wait for them to say "It's out" and find out how good it is. Don't let the publisher of a game tell you how good it is.
@handlas: I hear ya. I came back like two years ago and it was smooth sailing to the point where I almost forgot why I left, then I got Wolfenstein and man was that a herculean task to get that game running properly. Almost made me box up the PC for another ten years. Just like @lukeweizer said, the counterpoint to all PC problems of "works fine for me" doesn't help when it refuses to do the same for you - for reasons that are incredibly hard to diagnose at that.
My friend just bought a beast PC last year. Bought two 980 TI's.
He mentioned that Just Cause 3 doesn't support SLI and a lot of big games don't, feels stupid for buying two cards. I mention that it seems like Just Cause 3 is all over the place performance-wise on PC. His solution was to just buy the next set of high end cards that are released. What the fuck? Your solution to developers/ publishers not giving a shit and poorly optimizing their PC games is to spend another $1000 on cards that may or may not make the games run better? Scared the shit out of me and honestly just makes me want to avoid the platform all together if that's what I'm going to turn into.
You're taking the most extreme and ridiculous edge case possible and that's what you're scared of? That's like not going outside because you're scared of being struck by lightning.
It's the fact that that's what his mind went to solve the problem. Spend another $1000+ on new hardware 16 months after you just spent $1000+ on new hardware.

It's not that edge case-y. I'm planning on buying my first good gaming PC next year for XCOM and VR and I'm dreading the whole experience. Like, I want to experience VR. That's a 980 for the entry level. I hear people talking about Pascal cards so do I buy a 980 for a lot of money, play VR when it comes out and have a very expansive, outdated card in 6-9 months or do I buy an ok card as I wait for an upgrade that may or may not come?
It's a mess and I'm kinda pissed I will pay all this money and have to put the whole thing together myself. The notion peddled by the GB crew that people would bother with this mountain of bullshit for a slightly better experience and just drop their $400 (sometimes $300) easy video game machine is insane. I'm gonna do it because I'm crazy but I certainly don't expect any normal dude Mc bro (a large part of the AAA buying public) to bother with this nonsense.
I'd be terrified if I was trying to plan a PC around a brand new hardware feature that wasn't readily available yet. That's something I'd wait till a month after release and see what works best.

I was so excited about this game and I was knocking on it's door on Monday night but then I heard about all the PC issues and console load times. The whole "it works for me" counter-point doesn't make me feel any better. I don't want to pay money to find out it's doesn't work for me. Really disappointing.
@turtlebird95: Is the 660 similar in power to the 7870? I have a 7870 and it's listed as the minimum spec, really surprised to hear that a 660 is getting High settings and over 30 FPS (I'm not a PC parts pro, but 600 series sounds old considering we're at 900 now).
I believe they're pretty close, I think the 7870 is actually a little bit better, but don't quote me on that. And yeah, the 600 series is a bit old now. (I think it was 2012 when they came out)
I got my 7870 in April of 2012 and I think they were relatively new back then. I'll hold of on opinions of AMD performance. Don't want another Fallout 4 situation.
