Why does it have to be new?
Why can't you be all, "Man, an MKX video. Cool."
I mean....who else is actually at these events recording footage?
Why don't all these complainers actually GO to some of these expos if they're not happy with what they get.
How can you complain about something that is free? As in, you had to expend no effort to receive a thing and it cost you absolutely nothing to view it.
Plus, even if you're not happy about the footage...what exactly are you expecting? How much time do you think these people have to sit down with the game? It's not like frame data in a demo build will be exactly as it is in the final build, and even if it was what could you actually do with the information? What do you actually gain by knowing what D'Vorah's d4 is(as an example)? What can you do with that information now?
If they haven't added any new characters to the demo that people can play at expos...and the people playing only have a handful of minutes with the game...how much can we really expect from a recording most likely done on a cellphone? It's not like the company's telling people, "Yes, man. Go ahead, sit down, relax, and break down this demo. Recording? Sure! Make it ten minutes and break down the demo meta!"
I really don't know what people are expecting with this.
I can complain about it because it isn't good.
If someone gave you a
free bag of shit do you think you're obligated to say "thanks, it's free so I love it"?
Being free doesn't excuse poor quality and lack of new content.
All that we have available are old ass demos that multiple people have already thoroughly dissected multiple times, If someone hands me some shit from that and it has no new footage or content and it's shit i'm going to say it's shit. It is valueless and offers nothing new or redeeming, the fact that it's footage means nothing if the footage itself is worthless.
I'm not going to give a guy a pat on the back and blowjob because he record two characters jumping up and down and mashing out the same 2 strings whilst being drowned out by cliche and annoying music.
You don't have to have any new footage, no one has to record and find new things, but when you don't and you post it i'm going to be honest about what was presented. If he posted a video of him looking over the command list and trying out combos and moves on the CPU i'd say something like "awesome, this isn't really anything new but I'm glad I got to see strings and moves used in combos and how they work together" but no, what we got was somebody slapping their hands on the face of a controller to the sounds bad music. It's not even a rare gem anymore, there has been so much footage uploaded from this same demo build that's been going from con to con that we have hours of it, and a good chunk of that has actual quality gameplay in it.
That is shit, that is nothing of quality, and nothing new or interesting was presented, that is the 110% truth.
