Fighting games were great for the Arcades

[GoldInfinit7]

They were great drop some quarters and have a great time for about how long a TV show lasts or perhaps a movie lasts.

However, I never got fighting games being purchased for full game price and even beyond that. It seems the money would be better spent elsewhere.

So, the purpose of my post is to see if people agree or maybe I'm missing something and it is worth the money.

Fighting games do seem like short and quick gaming adventures not worth full price.

The single player alone in this game can take dozens of hours. Honestly in terms of how much you get for your money, I think this is one of the best value fighting games that's been released in recent memory.

[Orzeker]

It just seems like you can't understand the appeal of fighting games.
Your logic could be applied to any games genre or hobbies really, people just have different tastes, that's why you can't ever please everyone.

go play horizon forbidden west, the devs r desperate for more support anyway

[HomongUS]

Quarter a game? Definitely worth the money. Being $1 per game in Japan make you think twice before going on a arcade. I'm even surprised how the genre thrive at those price point.

Going to a place where people who paid full price for a fighting game hang out, so you can see if they share your opinion on whether buying a full price fighting game is a waste of money

That is before world tour exists in fighting games.

World Tour alone took me over 20 hours to finish and I will spend hundreds more outside of that. Worth it to me. Some Fighting games don't offer a ton of content but SF6 has plenty.

Man fighting games were the highlight of those arcades back in the 1990's. I don't think I spent that much money in the arcades compared to what it would cost to get a full game these days.

I invested heavily into Tekken 7 last gen because SFV bombed. Based on what I have seen from Tekken 8 about their new additions, I'm not impressed with T8 so far and I'm probably going to invest heavily into SF6 this gen.

[Necropants]

OP obviously does not understand the competitive nature of fighting games, thats why people play them, they are the apex of video game skill. I have close to 1000 hours in tekken 7 and already close to 30 hours in sf6

I have got more value out of the former than any other game I've bought since 2016, and it doesn't even have really anything to do other than play online.

Fighting games are more like chess than a pure entertainment video game genre. it's about practising and reflexes and dexterity, getting better and character mastery. No other video game genre offers this, to this level, no other genre allows such character expression that can vary wildly from player to player.

and then you have the pure psychological part of defeating an opponent and mind games. Also Sf6 tournament is 1 million dollars first prize this year, if you want to be that sweaty you can...

SF6 is a decent package that it caters to the core market while giving casual people stuff to do, but ultimately if you are not into these other aspects fighting games are probably not for you.

Even in the Gaming community fighting games remain a very misunderstood thing.

[John Hunter]

I kind of see your point since fighting games use to only have short arcade modes for each character. The new SF has a larger story mode even if it is kind of crap.

There's also a large competitive audience that play the game a lot. So if you're playing the game all the time, the large purchase price up front is better than paying every time you want to play.

Lol in the arcades a lot of people were dropping a helluva lot more than $60 of quarters into those machines. For that matter SF2T cost $60 for the SNES, and SF6 is undeniably a better value than that.

with short and quick you never learn all the nuances

They really need to come up with some genius level subscriptions, memberships, loyalty or bulk deals for arcades. Use the gym membership traps, bundle in some crunchyroll or hulu, put a KFC in the arcade, whatever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ works. The goal should be pennies per game for the customer, but a solid enough structure to bankroll the arcade. It's 2023 where are all the millennial B.B.A.s in Japan? they should be trying to save the damn industry
