Is "New Age" just another way of saying "Modern" or is thid some sub genre I've never heard of before ?

"Modern"

I like'em to a certain extent.

i kinda agree. at least, with most of them.

Like, they're still "good" but now everything is so focused on the esports sides of things that they forget about what got 90% of consumers buying their games lmaooo

i agree we need more offline modes in these kind of games haha

doesn't help that all the 3d fighters are petering off and all the 2d fighters are just blurring into the same air combo anime spectacle fighter.

^ and SFV is just a huge meta game lmaoooo

LoL... Yeah but do you blame'em ? e-Sports is finally becoming Lit'up and everybody wants a piece of that moist, Hot Pie.

That being said, what do you guys want from Fighting Games exactly ?

For me, it would be having a good enough base game where I don't have to spend even more money to make it more fun (SFV), DLC characters are quite breaking for me as I have to spend money to learn how to fight them, though I'm not particularly against it. I miss the lengthy offline modes like SC2's weapon master, Tekken 6's Scenario Campaign. The good shit you know?

While it's hard to do well, and I do enjoy playing online still, some days I want to play the game without complaining about balance, netcode, and *important missing characters*. DOA legit has the most complete roster out of all the new fighters out there. The only character and move set that they've scrapped is probably Genra and Nicole (remind me of anybody that is still missing).

LoL... I didn't like Tekken 6 's Scenario Campaign, but maybe that just because I sucked at Tekken... couldn't play any character in that Game.

But your point about DLC Character is excellent, its the exact same issue people have with CoD's Multilayer DLC.

Personally I seek no Single Player features... I don't even know what to ask for.

I just want more Considerate Fighting Games.... its just like you said... shouldn't the game benefit the majority of the people who paid for it ?

"DOA has the most legit roster out of all the new fighters". I mean.. over the course of DOA5 vanilla to DOA5LR they've added 12 total characters to the roster, which all current games do now. So DOA is really the same as all these other fighters in terms of character roster.
