    Had the game since Friday, and though I'm enjoying it, my big complaint is that it's totally barebones, as Overbite said. However, I just popped in the game and was hit with a "update must be downloaded", so I'm currently downloading a 772 MB update. Any clues as to what it might be?

    They improved the netplay and added in some minor features, like clan tag display in-game and friend invite improvements. It sounds like other patches are planned, too.

    Ah, okay. That's good. I hope they add more gameplay modes and characters, though -__-

    Ignition has a couple of threads on their official KOF 12 Facebook page soliciting suggestions for DLC content and new feature requests - you should post there if there's anything you want.

    Thanks for the tip! I just finished replying to it. Looks like a lot of people have already posted stuff as well. Here's hoping they listen!

    Oh dear. Has it been a while now since we've reached the stage at which developers can release buggy console software and then expect people to patch it after purchase?

    Solertia: I posted my suggestions too! I'm hoping at least one or two makes it in.

    Jorpho: It is too bad seeing this happening on consoles now. At least in this case the patch came out before release day.

    Still, if they're gonna charge full price for the game they should include enough content to justify it, like SF4 and BB.
    No ridiculously cheap SNK boss battle?

    I've been playing this quite a bit since the weekend, and I've come to the conclusion that KoF XII is essentially a beta that you pay for.

    The actual fighting is pretty great: I like it a bit more than Blazlblue actually: it's just fast enough for me without getting into ADD/methamphetamine territory. It's very pretty, it seems to be fairly well balanced (though who knows what the future will show us), and I like the new systems. The main problems seem to be the terrible net code and terrible interface.

    If they patch the net code, I'll be happy enough. I'm not thrilled with the concept of DLC in a fighting game though (silly costumes aside): something tells me we're going to be paying for Mai and K' in the near future.

    The game is very incomplete. It isn't worth $59.99, but it is sort of fun.

    Yeah, I'm totally interested but I'll wait for a price drop and/or more patches & DLC.

    Wow, this is unusual. I can't remember the last time I've seen a publisher publicly say something like this:

    I have heard a description of KOF XII that describes it as a "not a good game, but a fantastic fighting game." That is to say, it's fantastic as far as gameplay goes, so if you have people to play against, awesome...but the single player experience leaves a lot to be desired.

    Which is pretty fair; I love how the game looks and plays, but the package could have used better fleshing out to compete with SF4 and BlazBlue.

    Yeah, the online is tough to deal with, but I can look past it for all the 2d goodness.

    QUEESTION, I own the PS3 version, and I have a headset, but rarely ever use it. Is it considered rude to not use it when others do? I just am not used to talking during games, and I say the dumbest things.

    Why the hell do you need to download 700+ MB to patch a freakin' fighting game? o_O

    I don't really think we should be applauding the publisher for this. They had an obligation to do some QC/QA on their end before they accepted the game for replication. They were under no obligation to release the game in an unfinished state and yet they did anyway.

    After 2 days of having this game I don't think it's as bad as most of your are making it out to be. Yes it is barebones. Yes there's some bugs. Yes some characters are absent and others are a bit bare bones.

    But what is saving this for me is this: This is the first time since the KoF series inception that the sprites have been completely redone which would make sense that a lot of moves arent there. The other factor is that the gameplay engine is damn good. Its hard to knock the balance this game has.

    I'm thinking I may play some KoF 94 to see how this compares.

    He's a wise man. I played it for a good while yesterday and at first I absolutely hated it. It grew on me a bit, so I guess my feelings can be summed up simply, by saying: "I miss you K'"

    I agree whole-heartedly. Sure, there's room for improvement in other fields, but the mechanics, fluidity, and balance are amazing. I'm having so much fun with this game and can't wait to see what Ignition and SNK add to it.
