Can anyone explain the appeal of 2d fighting games in 2021? (Mortal Kombat, Guilty Gear, etc)

I’m not hating. I’m forreal asking. What is it about these games that people still like? I’ve watched some vids and I don’t see much difference in gameplay between MK11 and Street Fighter 2 from the 90s)

:yeshrug:

I honestly don’t see what would be confusing about it. People like competitive 2d fighting games the same way people still like madden. Each new game is just derivative of the last. If you grew up enjoying them there’s no reason why that would change now more so than any other game.

it seems like other genres have gotten so much deeper over the years, and these fighting games are pretty much the same. :manny:

but the madden comparison does make sense. :ehh:
And matter of fact, you could say the same thing about JRPGs. And I do like those.

Most game genres haven’t evolved as much as we think they have. It’s the risk vs reward for publishers, outside of graphics some truly new shyt comes out maybe once in a generation, and then a bunch of other games start to copy it.

The difference between NBA 2k14 and 2k21 is probably the same difference between street fighter 4 and street fighter 5

Koalabama and the Cosmos
Finally got through Yakuza 3. The beginning was rough as hell but once that story kicked in:mjcry:. My dad instincts just went into overboard.

The poor orphans :damn:

For what it's worth, it wasn't a bad game by any means, just showing a bit of age, especially coming from Yakuza 0 Kiwami 1 and 2:shaq2:.

Mine low key got to be one the most slept on antagonist in gaming history.
