Granblue Fantasy Versus Steam Release 3/13
- Thread starter Yari
- Start date
I see, no wonder people are crazy about the codes. My friend bought the game just to sell the codes lol. Good for the dev/publisher but not good for the player population.
Yeah just googled, seems saves are locked to accounts. Guess I will have to find that save editor or just beat it again.
Sorry to crush your dream, but apparently
Wow that's impressive. Any suggestions on where to find Discord groups for these fighters? I live in LATAM so, PC fighting games outside of SF have always been an issue.
Yeah but like Drax said above, as more people get the one-time codes, the demand for it is going to go down until no one is really actively looking for it.
I don't know, I saw this post just before yours, so now I'm also searching the source of this.
I'll double dip for the Steam version. Maybe I'll wait and see how active the community will be first though.
For those wondering what I am talking about. This was from their latest arcade build at JAEPO 2020:
The game is definitely using delay-based netcode.

This wasn't leaked, we knew this already. Last official word was the usual "we're looking into it" regarding rollback with a bunch of dumb excuses, but nobody realistically expects anything to change.For those wondering what I am talking about. This was from their latest arcade build at JAEPO 2020:

Has there ever been a single fighting game with crossplay that uses delay based netcode? I don't see why netcode should matter for crossplay but it's interesting that it only seems to be those with rollback that have crossplay. Tells you the mindset of those making the decisions.
List of PC fighting games with cross play:
Street Fighter V
Killer Instinct
Power Rangers Battle for the Grid
Fantasy Strike
Brawlhalla
As you can see, crossplay FG's are an exception, not the norm.
I don't understand why every time a new FG gets released, people automatically expect it to have cross play...
Maybe this can still change (huge doubt). They already said that they're changing the UI, which isn't in this build. Hopefully all the outspoken cry for Rollback makes them actually consider it (HUGE DOUBT).For those wondering what I am talking about. This was from their latest arcade build at JAEPO 2020:

The gameplay of this game is really fun but holy fuck have they really poorly managed this launch.
> Asian regions get game a month before NA despite the HK and SI versions having FULL ENGLISH
> 11 character base roster with 2 dlc packs announced before launch
> First two DLC characters coming out with NA release
> First major tournament is only two weeks after NA release
> PC version announced two weeks before release despite being advertised as a PS4 exclusive
> No crossplay between PC and PS4 (which is a joke these days)
Man wtf

DBFZ has the exact same thing ingame and it doesn't have delay based netcode
Edit: i am dumb and didn't read correctly, sorry

11 launch characters and DLC already to launch is what really has me looking side-eyed
DBFZ uses delay, not rollback. AFAIK there isn't a single ASW fighter with real netcode.
Pretty sure DBFZ is delay based. Or at the very least it's not rollback.
No it isn't. But it's gaining traction. I'm hoping that it's commonplace in the next 2 or 3 years with future fighters that are released.
Just because it's not common doesn't mean every game fighting game shouldn't have it. There isn't any real technical reasons not to include it in 2020. But these publishers and higher-ups won't change shit
Because there's literally no reason not to.
Shit, MK11 patched it in and they obviously know how to do it because they've done it before with GGXrd between the PS3 and the PS4. Their reluctance to do it is just more weird Japanese developer hang ups.
No mobile game codes for Steam version is likely due to the Steam refund policy which I'm sure some people would find some way to abuse if each game came with codes.
That said, if we don't get the codes, then the price has to be reduced compared to the console release.

Well, sad to say that 2020 does not seem to be the year that Japan modernizes its most longevity-positive feature set for fighting games. Damn shame.
Here's to hoping 2021 is better. And honestly, I hope someone with some sway at ArcSys is somehow getting the message and really getting some pieces moving to get the current lineup of games updated. Granblue looks to operate at a pace that I can work with and an aesthetic that could really carry my interest for a long time (it strongly reminds me of FFXI/XIV, which is an aesthetic I absolutely adore).
I'll be buying it for PS4 but I get the feeling I'll dive into single player for like a month, maybe lab in a week by following some streams and YouTube character tutorials, try online, have a terrible time with connection issues and then let my copy absorb dust on my shelf forever and wish I could stick with it. I can take my L's in the name of learning online, but if it's the actual netcode that's creating a janky technical experience then I tend to just quit.
MVCI and Mortal Kombat 11 are two of the longest tails I've ever had with fighting games in my entire life, and not because either is necessarily my favorite fighting game, but because the netcode just worked at a level where I didn't feel like any of my frustration was coming from the game itself feeling dysfunctional at a technical level. Mechanically, both are fine to me, and I take tons of L's in both of them, but I rarely got the notion that I was losing because the game just couldn't help but trip over itself like most fighting games — it felt like my inputs were going through as intended and every bit as unskilled as they were, not because it was jumping and skipping around and causing all sorts of chaos, confusion, and a sense that the game just wasn't understanding what I meant to input correctly.

Haha. You say, funny thing.
There is absolutely 0 chance the pc version is discounted over this. Less than zero, there's more of a chance of some sort of crazy pc centric mark up than there is of the game being less because it doesn't have the code.
If anything, it just pushes people back to the PS4, which is probably why they didn't even bother telling Marvelous about the PC version.
Me before this announcement: Pfft, I'm done with ArcSys's trash delay-based fighters.
Me after this announcement: Behold, it is I, leader of the Basic Bitches.

Because we should all expect it. The only way for it to become standard is by us all expecting this to be a bare minimum.
It hasn't been until recently with some smaller titles, so the outrage in this thread is a bit much. That said, next-gen, there will be no excuse to not feature cross-play in a fighting game.
There's really no excuse now. These smaller titles are just embarrassing most of the big boys in terms of online play.
Yeah but do those smaller games have my favourite animu or gacha character?
I rest my case.
Oh I def agree, but it seems Sony only opened up to cross-play in the past year. So I'm not surprised these larger fighting games from japanese companies (which were planned and budgeted 1-3 years ago) weren't made with cross-play support. As for lack of rollback netcode, arcsys just plain sucks for that one.
It's the same thing that MvC did, releasing 3 characters one month from release and then the other 3 two months later, however unlike Marvel they now have announced a second pass with already has a character with in-game screens which means it will release in second half of the year which is so fast for DLC characters
Yeah. I understand why they didn't include the codes. It would be so easy for people to get a full refund of the game on STEAM. But I wonder if they could implement a different system for PC for people who have played the game for more than 2 hours or have owned it for more than 2 weeks to be able to redeem something for a code. Seems like that could still get exploited too.
I used to be in that gatcha stuff and would buy things I didn't need or couldn't even read just because it came with special codes. I'm guessing there are a few people who are doing that with this game. Can't people still get a refund on the digital version on PS4?
Anyway I don't think anyone posted the press release.
$79.99 isn't bad since it includes the character pass. That means it'll be around $40-$45(regular) and $60 - 65(Character Pass Set) on other webistes. So basically people wanting a discount for the game not coming with codes will be able to get one.
Can't wait to see this game running in 5K. At least it'll look crisp while I'm getting my ass beat.
