Okay.....I understand wanting good netcode to be standard but this statement is completely false.
Completely false? Maybe in your eyes it's just the half-truth.
I like VF but I quit playing because of the netcode, so no it can't be complete false, else I would still play. (I will revisit on updates tho) Why would I even have bought the DLC? Guess Maximilian is also a complainer than and is completely false in what he said ... as he basically said what I said but more through a "flower" ...
On the other hand, you are right, if the gameplay is terrible (taste), great netcode can't help it.
(but there is no taste for good netcode, either its good (state of technology) or it's not)
Sorry but for some (if not the most) online is the way to play fighting games on a "competitive" level these days. If you have a great local scene, sure you can ignore netcode but the way they build up on VF5US, you feel its made to be a "true" online game and here is the netcode the heart, imho.
If you have fun with it and don't feel any issue, cool for you, really. Enjoy it.
(I will always follow: "No feedback (or "complaints" for most cry babies) no change ever!")
PS: I actually think I do "constructive criticism" else I would just say, fuck sega you are trash ... or something like that.
