Barkley 2 Kickstarter

Hey dudes. I was considering posting this on my RMN blog, but I think this has more traffic so, yeah Barkley 2 is running a Kickstarter. I don't want to say too much, but anyone from GW knows most of these dudes like Chef, Konix, Bort, Frankie, etc. This game concept originated from an RM community.

Game looks really really good. A lot of people on RMN kind of miss games for whatever reason. Plus I want to spread the word. There is a lot of great content on the Kickstarter so far, so don't take much from this post, it's just a small bit.

To put a different perspective on this. It's an example of community and dev growth. Barkley 1 started out in Rpgmaker2003. It went from GM, game was released and here we have the second game. It looks really good. Rm is a good stepping stone, only limited to your creativity.

I'm very happy for these guys, because they put the work in, they aren't trying to steal money from people, and they're creating something unique. This is an example of Kickstarter being used for good. So if you know people, or want to support the game the link is there for you guys. WAT DEW.

ITSSS MARRRVEEL BABYYY


Recently released fighting game that everyone loves to hate. If you have not
purchased this video game and enjoy entertaining fighting games you're missing out. 20 American dollars, if you bought the previous game you can sell it for around 10 and you're only paying 10 dollars.

Not only are there 8 new stages, 12 new characters, and the ability to X-factor(in mid air as a defensive option) they dumbed the fighting game down GREATLY. In MVC3 you could take someone from 100 to 0 with a well placed, well timed /w assist combo/super.

The days of fearing the literally endless Tron and Dante combos are over to appeal to the casuals(bads). Basically in MVC3 you were either beast or bad. Along with the OTG fix and the damage scaling fix, hp has been scaled down as well but it evens out because you can't take someone from 100 to 0 % anymore.

My Experience

Look, I've been a fan from day one. The biggest issue floating around this game is MVC3 was in fact, an earlier(unfinished)version of UMV3, so people are upset they paid 60 dollars for half a game. Fair enough, but it is still a fun experience. Did I feel like they gamed my money? No. Because I had fun with both games. The only people who have an issue with this are human beings who take video games too seriously.

You can now go into a lobby and watch games in progress through spectator mode, Heroes and Heralds mode will be available as free dlc later as a fun card collection game to add weird and fun stats like infinite supers/super armor/etc during gameplay.

People are upset that the roster does not include Mega Man. Capcom is slowly phasing out MM with the creator gone. Accept it. Capcom has thrown the fans a bone and added a DLC costume that looks exactly like X for Zero.



I'll tell you about my experiences with the new characters so far.

Hawkeye: If you like simple zoning he is very very good. I personally don't like him that much because Visuals are important to me and to be honest I'm not a very big Marvel fan

Phoenix Wright: A very-VERY technical character, PW is an incredibly fun character to play, ain't gunna lie. The problem is that his skillcap is very high otherwise high tier characters like Wesker will eat you up. But man, when you win with PW online, you're king.

Strider: Plays exactly like MVC2, very low health but ridiculous ability to chain combos. Very technical character. I don't play him much because his health is very low, but he has one of the best assists in the game along with his x-factor level 3 super.

Frank West: Along with PW, Frank is really fun and a lot easier to use than PW. He's less technical but they both have a similar game mechanic where you have to level up to use his more powerful moves. I have a theory that FW will end up being high tier, people are just still getting used to the new characters.

Doctor Strange: I haven't used him much, but he is a very good zoner, before release they thought he would be very very good, but I don't see many people play him online.

Ghost Rider: Haven't played him but he's used as a zoning character. I haven't played good GR players yet. He is very zone heavy so once you get in he's gone.

Iron Fist: Technical character and hard to use but does incredible damage. He has stances that give him different perks: meter build, defense, str, etc. Good players will take your life meter down very quickly, but he is not very mobile.

Nova: Pretty cheap character with low health. I played him a few times but I got bored because his damage output is ridiculous and his combos are derp friendly. You can take someones health down very quickly with him with very little effort. Pretty popular online.

Rocket Raccoon: Great zoner, has the lowest health in the game. People do not like RR very much because he's a very very technical zoner. I have a lot of fun with him if i'm playing with friends, but if you want to beat someone I wouldn't suggest him.

Firebrand: A really decent Trish character. He's actually a really great character but I don't play him much. His damage is really really low, but he can combo for ages much like Zero.

Nemesis: Before UMVC3 was released people through Nem wouldn't be that good. He ended up because really REALLY amazing. You can do some very very good mix ups with Nem, and has great command grabs. His solo combos are incredibly damaging and he feels like a more mobile hulk.

Vergil: One of the most played characters you see in online from the new roster. He's one of those characters who you can play "badly" and still deliver ridiculous results and if you play him well you just destroy people.

Overall it's a really fun game. You don't have to be exceptionally amazing in order to beat someone or have a good time. Yes there are people out there who will blow you up. Get over it. A bunch of my friends also host a weekly online lobby for casuals, infact there are a lot of great lobbies hosted. I can't speak for the PS3 community though.

If I didn't think this game was fun or worth your time I wouldn't have wrote all of this. If you have any questions I'll be glad to answer them. I hope at least a few of you who enjoy fighting games picks this up, I know UPRC and MOG like fighting games.

MOG I think you should buy this...

if you have an alternative blog for your game, music, art, etc, please drop it in this topic so people can bookmark it and stay connected with you! will you be left out in the cold with no place to lay your tiles? i also suggest informing people who subscribed to your blogs and let them know whats going on as well.

is where i will be spending most of my time. buddy up and find a new home before it's too late(rrr)

i am the player online you see with hsien-ko and you think "well this should be a breeze" after running around in the air for 30 seconds you cripple my hsien-ko with your insane air combos. felicia enters the fight and just runs around the screen until you ultimately drop me with your 3 chained super.

and then, i appear with sentinel, you're scared...but just a little because you hear the rumors...and then the sentinel spamming begins.

has anyone played this game yet? it's kind of disappointing, because i was a big fan of marvel vs capcom 2 and the exceptionally fun characters and pixel work, but it's a pretty fun game to pick up and play online.

i got to talk a little with teo, the visual creator of wilfred the hero and sunset over imdahl. this kind of goes out to the fans if you're interested, since he sort of vanished. since this is sort of relevant to game design or something i thought i would drop it here for the few fans that still follow his work. he's a really nice guy.

maybe this will awaken brandon abley from his eternal slumber.
