Edge gave the game a 9/10 some time back.

"Does it deliver? Does it ever."

"[Street Fighter IV] puts seriously damaging strings of moves within the reach of the average player and places the tactical depth that is the real genius of the series firmly within reach of all, rather than just the elite."

"One of the finest fighting games ever made."

"It’s every bit the equal of its older brothers, and in conceptual terms is perhaps even beyond them in the way it caters for players of all abilities."

"This is, without doubt, a masterpiece of the genre."

its really hard to make combos and special combos , a arcade stick or a 360 controller on the pc will do the job .

Yes, I think any game that requires rotational movements would benefit from a controller or stick.

my memon friend from clifton got an arcade stick mod made from kharadar for his ps1 needs way back .
he's so much addictive to them vs games me and my buddy use to goto sagar games just to play kof series and sf series, honestly dude when he sat on that arcade bench , he use to end the game and whoever comes in his way gets crippled .
he even bought a arcade machine just to suffice his needs and practices at this home playing kof2000 just get on top of people's nerves in sagar .
i just remember when he got sf 1 for his arcade, dam most hardcore and most difficult . shoryuken and hadouken were the most pain in the azz to make em .

^ speaking of broken controllers:

Mad Catz reveals Street Fighter IV controllers, accessories

courtesy: joystiq







Set for release alongside the anticipated fighter's February debut, the lineup includes an official Street Fighter IV controller and arcade stick for the Xbox 360 and PS3, each adorned with the game's unique art style. Additionally, those pining for a more authentic arcade experience can pick up the stick's 'Tournament Edition,' which will feature "arcade quality" components and a design overseen by SFIV producer Yoshinori Ono. Not enough? A wall scroll, console stickies and faceplates are also on the way, though we expect true fans to dye their skin green or comb their blond hair to preposterous heights before they stand a chance to defeat Sheng Long.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
