but sony doesn't have interesting characters!!11!!!

[antoj]

ya'll are probs aware Or maybe you're not about how much I'm like pants-crappingly excited about the "Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale" why didn't they go with the prototype title "title fight" :'c

but a lot of people aren't.

most of the backlash i've seen for it falls into two arguments.

1) "its a smash brothers rip off"
2) "sony has no fun/interesting/memorable characters to make the game good"

OH. OKAY.

i disagree 100%. obviously. and i'm not just saying this as a sony fangirl either even though i am, no shame. just because sony doesn't have any series that have run as long as a lot of nintendo's characters doesn't mean they aren't good or interesting. in fact, for me personally i find i like sony's characters a lot more. most of the nintendo ones feel more like mascots than actual /characters/ to me. and i know this doesn't make my opinion "right", but i was like the nintendo fangirl until nintendo crushed all my loyalty to them with the wii. never again.

before i got my ps3 i was not even super into any video game fandoms. BUT NOW LOOK AT ME. :( can any of you even imagine me not being a video game fan...

idk maybe i'm just taking it too personally but its like rrghhgrurg. whatever you guys.

also i don't see how it's bad its a "smash brothers clone". lol playing as all the characters i like in one game? aww yeaa. why is this bad? are they afraid sony might build upon the style of ssb and make it better? and if it's worse, who cares? i mean idgi. there is no more original ideas in gaming anymore anyway. did gran turismo come out and then they said WELP NO MORE RACING GAMES BCUZ GRAN TURISMO IS IT. WE'LL JUST BE STEALING FROM THEM IF WE DO IT NOW.

what about all the platforming games? WELP MARIO EXISTS, LET'S NEVER MAKE ANYMORE PLATFORMING GAMES.

i don't understand this logic. or mayeb i'm just butthurt everyone is hating on this without really seeing much of it.

and you think i'd be used to this when i end up liking everything that is unpopular. i don't even do it on purpose ;___;

oh oh oh! OH! and e3 pressers have been confirmed for june 4th. it's a monday again. i'm going to spend all day sealed in my room glued to my tv as i watch EVERY SINGLE GAME ANNOUNCEMENT EVER. it's going to be the most exciting day of 2012 for me. what is my life. if only i could go to e3 in person. :'c so close, but so far. crycrycry

I doubt I'll be getting this game (since, you know, I do have Smash Bros, and it's not like I'm super invested in the Sony characters), but I will always approve of fighting games where you can play characters from multiple series. ALWAYS.

I would buy ALL THE FIGHTING GAMES if money wasn't an issue. They're fun.

I hardly think you're being butthurt, or if you are, I am too D:< I haven't really bothered looking at what people are saying, but after getting that same exact "it's just a clone with shitty character rargh rargh" spiel from someone, it's just... very frustrating! I think the idea is fucking AWESOME personally and I really can't wait to play it. I don't see why people are being so contrary about it. It's going to be really fun...

I think some people like to bash Sony anything because it's Sony to be honest.
That said, I really want to get the game. It looks super fun and the controls look a lot simpler than say...UMvC3.

You always going to have your haters. I understand what you are saying about the long run with Nintendo's characters. It is kind of like a popular movie that gets sequel after sequel, until the point that you are sick of everything relating to said movie...:\

I think it's very fair to say it looks similar to Super Smash Bros., because it really does (kind of the style? like a bit jokey and the way it's put together) but... does that matter? Any kind of fighting game with more than 2 players is going to look like that, and SSB proved it's a fun formula. I feel like a lot of the hate is just because of the name too, it's such an awkward mouthful.

But oh my god YES I AM SO EXCITED I WILL BE EXCITED WITH YOU. I'm only a casual Nintendo fan and SSB kind of bores me a bit, but I really enjoyed playing as Snake in Brawl. Snake/some Metal Gear characters will definitely be in this, as well as Cole, Nathan Drake, most likely some Assassins since Ubisoft favours the PS3 to 360? IT'S GOING TO BE SO GREAT.

I really don't understand how people can hate this D: the very first time I heard about this game I was totally excited and I think it's so cool to play as all these Sony characters. And honestly, I believe that some of them are even more popular than some Nintendo characters. (I might be wrong though)

I LOVE SB and I can't wait for this and people should be excited to get a game like this for once. But we all know how this will end anyway: all the haters will still play it and think it is fun :|
