The retirement... err... stupid thread.

they wont release version R for consoles..... VF5 online didnt sell well in north america AT ALL. Its unfortunate but true.

 

i hope when r comes out and it haz no online u guyz dont bitch..i no i have improved on vf being on line just cuz of the exp factor,i no offline is the shit but u can improve ya game by playing online /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

 

I hope youre wrong Seed, I need a reason to get high speed internet again.

 

Taking a break from VF for a bit, as of late i don't feel I'm improving my game and playing online is bringing the worst out in me (both in VF and personally), hopefully I'll play again with a clear head, and maybe start fresh with a new character, prob play again in a few months after my studies have died down.

thanks all, see ya soon /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

I can fully understand why you would be frustrated since the level of play overall may cause the better players to play down to the competition some making it seem like they aren't getting any better. I play because I enjoy the company of the other skillful gamers like badseed etc not because I am trying to get better at the game. In all honesty I don't see my game getting any better either after all this time online but that isn't enough to make me want to retire. I want to play more of you guys more often but if you retire it will be harder to do to that.

I was in a forced retirement for a few months and I don't want that happening again.

 

if it don't have online i won't get it.

 

So I'm not officially retiring, but my appearances online are going to become more and more rare unfortunately. But it's a good thing finally for me, since I'm now engaged to my girl and will be getting married in June. That means more working for me as I'm paying for everything and a whole lot of planning. Of course, if you ever see me on, please get some games in with me. I'm sure all this planning will make me want to dish out some frustration plus I have fun playing all you guys. But a big thanks to all of you for all the knowledge you have all given me about this game. I owe all of you guys!

 

Congrats UKdiddy, i'm sure the next time you post up in this thread it'll say: having kids, officially retiring.

 

Well it finally happened. I'm in retirement until I get my new stick in mid February. EX2 just slowly died on me. GGs everyone /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shocked.gif

 

Hahaha, thanks Wasted. Heh, that kids part is not gonna be for a while though....a good while. I want kids and all, but not right now.

 

Same here. I do have a backup DOA4 stick, but the buttons only work like 70% of the time. I'm ordering a new stick from arcadeinabox now, but they estimate 4-6 weeks. But I'll be back online as soon as i get it!

ps. If you do see me online between now and then, tell me to drop the DOA4 stick and stop playing. I'm sure I'm not having any fun anyway /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

I will be out of action for a couple months because.... I'm grounded! I will post here again when I'm ungrounded whenever that may be.

 

After performing some ghetto repairs to my stick I gave it a test run in quest mode this morning. Its actually working for the time being although being a little unreliable. Should be back on XBL tonight after work. Hope to fight a bunch of good people. I'm outta retirement baby!

And if the stick holds up until I get my new one, it probably means I'm never buying Skate 2, sorry Coz /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif gotta save money for school anyway, and $60 looks real expensive right now.

 

My stick is GhettoFab!!. I might do player matches on line this weekend.

 

Sorry to respond so late /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif

I see your point. Online is much better than no online, and I have gotten better as a result of playing online. I had fun, but maybe it's time to take a break.

"Retired" is a strong word, I think. I'm still too attached to totally give up.

 

Holy shit, ghostdog posted! What's up?

I've been semi-retired for the past few months, but that's mostly due to joystick problems. When my madcatz stick gets delivered I can finally start playing again just in time for SF4. I'm guessing lots of VF people will be also. I'll see you guys online.

 

DRE, did you order that SF4 TE stick?
That is amazing one and I hope I can try it by myself.

I guess too many players retired already coz it's really hard to find someone online recently~~

 

Yes I ordered the tournament edition. They're sold out everywhere, but more are being made to meet the demand.

It's been hard to find players online for a while now. If a miracle happens and we get VF5R on console it will bring more people out.

 

Hey guys, I'm going to be able to play in the weekends again so beware!

 

we should start an un-retired thread
