Since the day Street Fighter 4 came out, I have been adamant about my desire not to buy the game.  At first I was vocal about it all over the place, evolving as more and more people yelled at me for not owning it, from "The game looks cool but it's not for me" to "no, that game's way overrated, I'd rather save my money", and eventually to "STREET FIGHTER 4 SUCKS BALLS!" as I reached critical mass of annoyance towards people wanting me to buy this game.  Originally, I thought people's interest would wear down and eventually they would stop expressing their shock and dismay over the fact that I had not, and did not intend to, buy it.  But it never stopped despite my never actually bringing up the game in any conversation anymore.  Even last night, people on my friends list insisted to me that it was a mandatory $65 that I had to spend whether I wanted to or not.  Even now on XBL with people still messaging me about it, and with every 5 posts on this forum are still saying how amazing the game is even a month after it came out (something that never happened on these forums for any other game by the way), it does not cease. Well I give up.   the combination of the jerks on this website and the jerks on my XBL friends list have finally worn me down and today I finally lost the fight so today after depositing a check in my bank account, I walked into the gamestop and ashamed with myself, told the clerk "so I guess I'm buying Street Fighter 4 today" to which he, fitting with everyone I know, replied "YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED IT YET!?"  So now here I sit, writing this instead of playing the game because I know the second I open it, the failure of my quest not to buy the game will have been cemented for all eternity.  I fear that when I finish posting this, I will imediately rip open the game and start my quest to unlock Dan.

You went to GameStop!? NO!

Congratulations on buying a great product. I hope you find your purchase enjoyable.

You have made the right decision, SFIV is the best fighting game in years.

"You went to GameStop!? NO!"

Good Luck with not opening it.  

I haven't bought it, and I don't plan to. I got SSF2THDR, and while a prettier version with more characters and a few new moves is really cool, it's far from $60 cool.

Dude, that game is pretty good.

"I haven't bought it, and I don't plan to. I got SSF2THDR, and while a prettier version with more characters and a few new moves is really cool, it's far from $60 cool."

Whenever you're ready... I'm willing to Dan Fight you.

Unlocking Dan is easy.  Unlocking everyone is easy.

Welcome the ultimate fighting game.

It will be a love hate relationship. There are days you will love the game, and there will be days where you Heavy Kick your desk broken like someone here. :)

No other game you may feel as passionate about if you choose to stick it out.

You haven't played it yet? Duuuude?

Its totally $60 cool and just saying SF4 is the same with more characters and moves is like saying Halo 3 is just like CS with more maps and guns (even CS purist have at least played the Halo series if they are fans of FPS). If you're any fighting game fan, you would at least rent it or somehow experience it. "

It's not like CS and Halo 3 at all. If Halo 3 had been a multiplayer only game, looked like CS(except with better graphics), and had the same controls, sure. But it doesn't. I really don't think SFIV is worth $60 - at $30 I'd buy it."

i still don't have SF4 and will never give in like you. you're weak. i have better things to spend my $65; like food, alcohol, and drugs.

:) Congrats!

And now enjoy playing against Ken forever.

Fantastic game and I hope you enjoy it.

-- God Bless.

This is the most entertaining blog post I've read on here yet.  I still haven't seen, played, or bought SFIV yet, and I can hold out. 

mmm....booyah.

I guess I'm officially the only one on these forums that hasn't played it yet.

I still haven't given in, because I know that I will get my ass owned online, and I really don't feel like paying $60 for that privilege. Instead I will watch you all play it and say "Dang, I should get that even though I suck at fighting games!" but then never actually buy it.

It's called ignoring people. It would have saved you sixty bones.

Gamestop? You scumbag.

Well after all that I hope you end up enjoying the game.

I'm surprised people have bothered you about it so much. I still have not gotten it or even played it and hardly anyone has said anything to me about it. Maybe you have more friends than I do I guess lol.

Nice way to succumb to peer pressure. I actually haven't played SFIV since a week after it came out. 

Tekken 6 is way better!!

And I would easily buy it for $100 or more...My game clock is edging 50 hours and I am not anywhere near stopping. Opinions....crazy. "

"Blasphemy!!
