If my brief comparison of dates is correct that means that Revolution X came out and these guys saw that and thought gamers were just crazy for Aerosmith (they were, and are)
I got to play Street Fighter 6 at a friends house recently and enjoyed it, and now geight bought it and theres so much bullshit to get through before you can punch a dude that if I hadnt played it already id have lost all potential interest with how long it takes.
Time to actually -play- makes or breaks games for me and is a huge part of why I so rarely bother with new releases
The first kind is the bullshit by design, where you have to link your steam account to a capcom account to play online and you think you have a capcom account because you used to have an RE.net account and it turns out that you never responded to the many emails saying hey please come migrate your accounts or we're going to delete it so you have to just make a new one from scratch and then you typed your password wrong because you're doing this on your phone so you have to recover your password and then finish the account linking process and then watch the battle hub trailer before you're allowed to select any modes and then choose battle hub and be put into a character editor and told that this will have gameplay impact and if you want to adjust it later it will cost drive tickets and also you cannot just back out to the main menu you absolutely must choose an avatar now, and then watch another cutscene with that avatar before you can wander around the battle hub and realize you wanted to go to the fighting ground instead
The second kind of bullshit stems from us failing as a society to settle on a universal way for controllers to work, so my PS3 fightstick is recognized by Steam but for some reason two of the face buttons are unbound in SF6 (heavy punch and medium kick, my favorites!) and cannot be detected by the game, so first you have to open up something else and confirm that the hardware is working fine, and then dig down into Steam and find the dialog that lets you test and rebind all the buttons and after that it works fine, but you only have one stick so when your boyfriend wants to play after dinner you have to hope the 8bitdo syncs and that it's in the right mode and then you'll discover that it also mysteriously has several face buttons unbound, so you have to exit back out of the game again and go back into that dialog and get the controller all sorted out, and then when you relaunch SF6 neither the stick or the pad work for no apparent reason at all until you re-relaunch SF6 and everything just works and you're finally able to play the video game you purchased for sixty god-blessed american dollars
The video game is fun, though
I shouldn't need an entire week off to do simple tasks like switching our ISP over to something that doesn't cut out sporadically but only when Dos is streaming, but what's important is I did just have a whole week off and because of that I was able to navigate to a web page and fill out some simple forms to free our apartment from underneath the yoke of comcast
