Ivy's alternate costume sucks.

Re: Soul Calibur V

I like how over time, Ivy's character model has come to more closely resemble a cow than a real woman.

Re: Soul Calibur V

I'll wait until reviews come out, I might end up buying it when it's $30 and below...

Re: Soul Calibur V

I'll rent it at least. There doesn't seem to be as much offline as IV so it doesn't look worth buying.

Online looks sick. Spectator mode with chat log. Looks really good, may have to check it out.

Re: Soul Calibur V

If Hwang isn't playable I'm not buying this.

Maybe there is a Create-A-Soul of him?

That would be awesome if they were to have his fighting stance/moves.

Re: Soul Calibur V

Complete and utter failure.
I don't know what they were thinking.
The game is devoid of content and has next to no value what-so-ever. Incredibly short and poorly told story which as also pointed out by IGN is 90-95% told through pictures with voice overs which btw you can't use customized characters for. Making it worse yet is when you switch styles half way through he's trash after the switch. Went through the first half only losing one round by ring out,lost at least one in every fight since. Less than bottom tier. I don't even know if these are Sophita's kids or Cassandra's. Nothing is explained.

On top of that there's NO arcade mode beginnings or endings which is made 1000000x worse by the fact most of these characters are new which directly goes back to the lack of explanations here.

You unlock custom parts by leveling up but as I just stated there's no use for them because there's no content,there's nothing to play for. This should be a 400 point arcade game. Complete joke to ask $60 for this. I only rented this otherwise I'd be kicking down Namco's door for a refund. In fact it should be under indie games for 240 points because there's $3 indie games with more in them than this,hell there's probably $1 indie games with more.

AND the gameplay has taken a significant step backwards because of these super moves.

This is exactly what I was getting at in the topic about the possibility of there not being rentals next gen. The complete lack of value should automatically knock 5 points off of any review score.

I'm not sure if it's a story mode thing because there's usually a AI gets super powers type deal in fighting games but if it's not story exclusive online will be crap too because Siegfried is wwwwwaaaaaaayyyyyyyy over powered.

Re: Soul Calibur V

Is there a similar mode to Battle Theater from Soul Calibur II? (AI vs AI)

[goh]

Re: Soul Calibur V

There's the 2.5 hour story mode which would've been much shorter if you weren't given the first ever tier 10000000000000000000000000 character half way through.

Arcade with 6 fights,no beginnings or endings.

Vs. mode where you can fight anyone. You can have an AI vs. AI match here.

Lost Souls with 6 fights against intentionally over powered/super cheap characters.

To top it all off the ending to story mode...

Spoiler

is exactly the same as Cassandra's in SC IV where one sword is stabbed with the other and they blow up.

Oh there's also quick battle mode which is an offline simulated online battle and if you win you get their title so you can display it online. Such wonderful titles as "Farting Baron".
