King Of Fighters XII

i'm think of getting this game. in fact i've been thinking about it for a while now, definetely a month before it came out. i never was an snk fan, not even in the least, but this game looks interesting.

i figured meh, i have sf4,sc4, mkvsdcu and soon tekken 6 (in less than 2 weeks), i'm all set with any more fighters but i might just aquire this after all. graphics look good and i hear globally it's much more famous or popular than any other fighter on the planet.

is KOF worth getting or not...?

I bought it for 60$, you or anyone else shouldn't. Wait til' the price goes down if it haven't already. It's worth getting if you like fighters.

The game is seriously lacking in content and replay value. And there are a few problems but if your a fighting game fan you should get it. Pretty damn solid gameplay through and through, although you have to have friends in order to keep playing it. I'm sure SNK will add more content too, I also here that the online is much better than before as well.

then i shall get it. upcoming dlc, solid gameplay, and terry bogart, (damn did he get big), not a bad deal. besides, i won't be paying for it anyway. i'll get it the same way i got all my other 21 xbox360 games in a way i cannot mention on here. (Brutal Legend was game #21 last night)

i played the KOF demo and i wasn't wowed by it but that's because i was using basic moves. i'm sure they have super moves or cool finishers i'd be able to utilize and the graphics are really nice.

it'll be something to throw on if you want to give sf4 a rest for a day or 2 at least.

I'd spend my money seeing "Black Dynamite" instead(see link in my sig). Have they even announced what the DLC's gonna be yet?

I thought I read something on the ignition forums, that they are proposing to SNK-Playmore adding a new character or two, along with various fixes

W/the bad choices they've made recently, don't be surprised if the new characters they put in are Bao and somebody from AOF3 or one of the Meiras. It'd be great if we got Rock, or King, or K' or Blue Mary, or even Mai but that's probably why it WON'T happen 🙁. Prove me wrong, SNK

i got this game.

And at first play, honestly, it was craptastic. It suck-a-doogied. I felt like i was playing a ps1 game. The controls sucked, the moves puked, the sound suuucked; it sounded like upgraded old school nes tunes. The graphics suck so bad. The sprites were horrible. I thought something might've been wrong with the 360, or maybe my hdmi cord was loose. I unplugged the cord plugged it back in first on the bravia then on the 360, confidently thinking that maybe the games' problems were technical but they weren't. I even took the game out and put in Soul Calibur 4 and then SF4 just to check if things were ok and both games worked perfectly fine. I then threw KoF back on, starting fighting and about half way through the 1st round i started lmao.

The game dissapointed me so bad, the game was so bad that it was hilarious. Maybe i gotta give i another chance or something. Obviously, and there better be, more to it than what i did in the game with quite a few characters in just the 10-15 mins i put into it.

See, this is why i never got into snk even when i always tried to. Their games just don't appeal to me at all for some reason. Samurai showdown, fatal fury, frikken, the king of monsters series, i even recently played art of fighting, and they are all just crap to me. Subpar fighting games in everyway. lol, i've had it with snk with their wordy pop titles and their engrish or japlish. It's "Fight!" not "Light!". It's "Lose" not "Rose", goddammit!

I'll stick to sf, mk, tekken, and sc. True fighting games. And maybe some d.o.a. if there's nothing else.

But KOF might be the nail on the KOFfin with snk, for me.

It's got to be the worst fighting game i've played in many years.

lol @ MK and DoA being true fighting games..

anyways.. the core gameplay is perfectly fine, and the sprites are amazingly detailed (and for the most part, animated, despite some of the 'fall' animations that I personally dont like)

but they were going for a throwback to how KOF used to be, while adding some flair with the critical counter system

you should probably learn the moves first.. 10 to 15 minutes is really no indication to anyone, exactly how much of the games system you've put under your belt

if you never liked SNK, why play 12?.. also... king of the monsters was a silly wrestling / beat-em-up.. not a fighter lol.. if you took that game for a serious fighter, I dont know what to tell you

Ok maybe doa was a stretch but I did say maybe doa if there's nothing else. But with mk I gotta stop you there..

Mk hasn't been great since Umk3 imo but it is in no way a subpar fighting game. MK was a trendsetter in the genre in many ways.

And the sprites were amazingly detalied? They looked like dot matrix jaggies. The only thing I give it is it animation, meaning the movements. They flowed very smoothly.

And that's what I was saying about giving it another try cause I haven't really gotten into it.

Like I wrote, these are just my initial reactions but i'll say that so far every snk game has dissapointed me except for one. And that's world heroes. Which is a classic in my eyes.

And I chose to play kof12 cause I though the game may've finally appeal to me. It had positive reviews, some high scores, and i've been thinking about the game for a long while. This one in particular.

And I didn't take king of monsters seriously. It was impossible to.

But yea, i'll try it again. I'll train a bit with it, as well.

I miss World Heroes. MK ain't been worth a shit since MK2

Honestly.. it didnt get very good reviews.. or good scores at all

but I personally feel (and I'm in no way in love with this game or anything.. I prefer shit like 98 Ultimate Match), that this was a good entry with very solid gameplay.. its just marred with unfinished crap

get a buddy to game on it with ya, and I'm sure youll have some crazy fun matches

They get the DLC yet? This game megafailed in Japan. New copies there are selling for about $11 USD
