Where we go? Nowhere. You can settle for less, and be happy with it because that's the way the cookie crumbles.
WALL OF TEXT FROM SOME RANDOM EU GUY THAT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER
I honestly don't give a shit anymore about this game getting bigger
Well thats not really true. Like many others, I'd love to see it grow. But from the perspective of how it rolls around here, I've already done all I can. When MBAA PS2 was out I ran that game every fucking week in the corner at local meetups with like one other friend (along with KoF 2k2 UM) for ages, and hyped it up/tried to get people interested/help em out. Didn't get a single guy interested at all.
It's not like I don't participate with the rest of those players either. I mean hell, when KoF XIII dropped I was there playing and helping people get used to the system because I'd been playing the arcade version for a while, as well as having played KoF for a few years prior. People were all over my dick because I won ranbats and wanted personal advice on shit. I don't think I'm unappealing to the point of not making people interested in the game.
And its not like I was gonna give up on that anyway. But you know what? They fucking DONT LET ME RUN MBAACC THERE BECAUSE ITS ON FUCKING PC. After that I've just washed my hands of the goddamn matter, they wouldn't even let me run a side tourney for it at Hypespotting (local tournament).
I run meetups out my house for anybody who wants to come and have a laugh. Whether its Melty or Bomberman or Micromachines or MVC2 or Ougon Cross (lol), Arcana, AOS2, whatever . But honestly, most people don't care, so I don't care about them anymore. If the game had a localised release they'd probably at least be willing to try.
I'm not a PC version hater, but jesus titty fucking christ would a localised console version do wonders for any scene anywhere. And I can't do anymore without that. Not having to hack somebody's memcard or give him shady dl links and awkward patching crap so he can fuck around with it goes leagues. (EDIT: Localised PC/Digital distribution or something would be fine too I guess)
So w/e, effectively, I'm done trying to convince people. (they're retarded anyway)
I don't honestly believe you can go any further than this without that. So whilst I still love this game, love the community, and love playing it with them,
maybe people need to just accept that random PC games in Japanese with bad netplay won't ever blow up.
And you know what? I'm down with that. I'll keep playing, having fun, going to small tournaments and there is no need to be frustrated or mad about it if you put it past yourself. If you can't take that, you need a reality check at this point, or should move to Japan.
PS: Fuck P4U/Unib give me Aquapazza.
