@rickyw867 He's a mimic that randomly uses the movesets from male characters. Elysium does it with females, and Edgemaster uses all styles except Algol & Ezio.
Which, I don't know about you, but I think that was pretty lazy of them to make three characters that don't have their own moves.
Fake gamers play mw3 or battlefield. Real true gamers play games like mortal kombat, brutal legend, arkham city, skyrim, portal even. Because real gamers play shit loads of games whether they are good games or not. I actually dont care for sc. But im gonna play it anyway cause its what I do
@XmykXoxsXlong No. "Good" Gamers, are people who have the decency to enjoy what they play, and respect what others play. They know when to 'trash talk' for fun in games, and they know when to stay quiet, and be polite. Any game, is a game, respect the hard work that these producers put into their product. I do not enjoy games like MW3, but I will admit it's a 'good' game. Please, don't let ignorance block you from the truth.
One thing that pissed me off the most was how they replaced and left out so many characters because of the story, yet not all the characters were a part of the story and not much effort was put into it. WTF NAMCO?! Another thing, you expect us to unlock all these characters and armor for creation when there's only a few offline modes. Other than that, the game is pretty fun if you can ignore the nostalgia, I still have a little trouble ignoring it myself. I miss Taki... :'(
this is the first SC iv player since Soul blade and it has to be my fav fighting game also i didnt have any issue with the training mode and it did its job cos after a look at the move list and trying stuff out i learned that siegfried relise on stance changing attacks
also beating a A ranked charactor in quick battle feels so rewarding then any other fighting game
I think this is a great game, sure the story could be better, and I wish that had endings for the characters when you finish arcade, but this is a good installment in the series, and hey, at least it's better then Soul Calibur 4...
@fte26 Your fucking stupid and your logic makes no sense. So I guess according to you,only "real men" play an overrated game which Is in an overrated genre in which everytime I play it there is some faggor complaining over a pointless k/d ratio -_-
did you people ever think that ign gave it a bad review because its a bad game?only anime nerds like games like this. learn to play a real game like mw3
@fte26 Oh yeah, that's exactly how I wanna spend my day, Getting angry for no reason and screaming in my mic when getting Killed ONCE, god you people are such assholes, I'd play this over Modern Warfare 2.5 any day!
The story wasn't that bad people, come on! Anyway, this game is a bit of a disappointment (coming from a fan of the series since Soul Blade). I'm still thoroughly enjoying it though.
@tristan9009 Yup, because anyone can slap a score on a game, its the REVIEW and how you back it up is what distinguishes you from a nobody and an expert game reviewer.
if you are looking for a great weapons based fighter then you cant go wrong with this game its awesome so dont take bullshit retarded reviews by IGN and Gamespot on just look at the score Gamespot gave Zelda Skyward that says it all they are full of shit Soul Calibur gets a 10/10 just for graphics alone and the gameplay a 9.5 from me!!!
*I know they gave it the same score, that wasn't what bothered me, what bothered me was what the reasoning behind the score seemed to be when ign's reviewer was talking about it.
the best soulcalibur mode, in my opnion, was the one in soulcalibur 3 where u had to conquer towers, and to go to the next level u needed to conquer the enemy's castle...thumbs up if u agree
Eh I guess I kind of agree with the 7.5 review. The only things good about this game is the create a character mode and online , thats about it. They literally put no effort into the offline modes. Arcade mode is just you fighting 6 random people then thats it. No rival battle , no epic final boss , no nothing. Story mode doesnt make sense at times and like 90 percent of it is hand drawn story book cut scenes lol. They put to much effort into online stuff and forgot about everything else.
so pretty much 60 USD for what I'm guessing is a custom character generator and a fast paced sink or swim fight sequence engine. personally im thinking just a custom character engine seeing as every time I played in the previous titles annoying moves were spammed with absolutely no regard for strategy or variation. personally I feel like im being sold just a slightly enhanced version of SC4 . . . Haven't bought it yet but based on the reviews this is impression im getting
I wish there was at least ONE fighting game that had tutorials. Why don't developers put in tutorials? If they want fighting games to be less niche they really need to try and at least make players understand the game more easily
TheTuberguy1000 I agree 4 was easily the worst in the series what the f is up with the sound effects in that game? It sounds like you are hitting the enemy with pillows not swords- apart from the tits n bums in character creation that game is totally forgettable - smooth animations & battle mechanics matter far more to me than just having as much content as possible
Finally! A commentator who knows what he's talking about! You can tell by his knowledge of fighting mechanics that he's really passionate about the series.
@TheTuberguy1000 WTF how does a game fail when the story fails. Say that to basically every street fighter game, and every overused fps game with its completely re-run stories. You're meant to judge with its target audience in mind with a consideration to the latter. Games like MW3, SF4, SC5, etc. are multiplayer based with the addition of a single player not the other way around.
@happynightz WTF sir you are retarded sf depends on NO LORE even toug it has a crappy one and mw3 bf3 thoose are pure multiplayer games lore is not needed but games like mortal kombat soul calibur and tekken have a THEME hence they need good lore and like i said a game with shit lore is a shit game thats it so go fuckyourself in an alley
@TheTuberguy1000 So a game you no "lore" suddenly just gets splashed with the forgive and forget. Last time I checked FPS games have a "single player mode", SF4 has a "single player mode". You just said "sf depends on NO LORE even toug it has a crappy one" you just contradicted yourself. Suddenly SF has a shitty "LORE" but gets excused for some reason. You know what...why don't the developers just release the games as multiplayer only games just because the "LORE" is so shitty.
@happynightz you will stfu you WONT deny me and the truth NO word i said contradicts with eachother youre just brainless so you dont get it like i said before sf has a crappy lore but it is more of a multiplayer bashing game so it doesnt depend on a lore same goes for cod and battlefield they might have some lore but they DONT DEPEND on it to be a proper game but games like soul calibur dragonball tekken who depends on imagination and fantasy NEEDS lore and depends on it to be decent so stfu
@TheTuberguy1000 Yeah, so that's why Soul Calibur is mostly played on single player...You sir are an idiot. Last time I checked Soul Calibur is played in EVO and thus making it a competitive fighting game. And just like your little rave on COD, BF and SF, they all have one thing in common, and that is they are all "COMPETITIVE, MULTIPLAYER GAMES" and they don't "depend on a lore" from your standards. So in conclusion, yes, you did contradict yourself.
@happynightz you retard your brain is so small that you cannot even understand what im saying if you did then youd see that my words support eachother not contradict soulcalibur has a theme and has to depend on a lore to be perfect its not a game you can just play the fun of it and bash your buttons to combat other players its all about the story the multiplayer is just the other half of the game what really makes soul calibur fun is the story take tekken for example this game is not for you
@happynightz and i wont let you corrupt it anymore soul calibr is a deep game with an awesome theme and the fanbase of the game mostly plays it for the story between soul edge and soul calibur this game is not one of the games you can just go to an e cafe with your friends bash eachothers characters then leave. That would be an insult to soul series thats why im so pissed at the lack of awesome lore in soul calibur 5 MULTİPLAYER is supposed to be awesome its a mechanic of the game
@happynightz but the story is what truly makes this game differ then others cause its not a mechanic its an aspect and essence of the game you retarded prick so dont you dare even touch the box of the game you are not worthy to even hold it
@TheTuberguy1000 wow...like many competitive fighting games. No one gives 2 shits and a fuck about the stupid lore of any game. When it comes down to it the developers of any fighting game have the intention to aim it towards the competitive fighting scene. I'm can guarantee you that a majority of the buyers of Soul Calibur 5 is not buying the game for the purpose of the "story mode" or "LORE". Yeah, maybe they will finish it, but it has next to no effect on the player.
@happynightz you retarded son of a bitch i said the last word this conversation is already over soul claibur 5 is not a ''competitive multiplayer'' game its nothing like what you describe you retard lore is the most important thing others swho play this game to bash arent actually playing it its all about imagination and story multiplayer is SUPPOSED TO BE perfect so now you will shut up go in a corner and fuck yourself you wont defile this game anymore u son of a cunt
@TheTuberguy1000 BTW SC5 is a competitive multiplayer...have you ever heard of a little competition called EVO? It's just only the biggest fighting game championship in the US, no biggie...If a game is in EVO it obviously is a competitive multiplayer. You are so ignorant. BTW umad?
@happynightz v You are retarded and you fail to understand what i mean the point is story is the main part of the game now i will end this once and for all. Youve lost deal with it . The fact that you are this retarded means you are not even worthy wasting my time on you further so go fuckyourself
@TheTuberguy1000 I accept this comment as your plea to surrender, I forgive you for having an ideology of pure idiocy. This was a wonderful argument, it's just that the better man would always win.
@happynightz See you are VERY retarded. All the answers to your false toughts and comments are in my previous three ones youre just too retarded to understand Lore is the most important thing in this kind of game again look at tekken it has AWESOME LORE and it is released by same company You cant put a game in par with others cause its same kind of game İs WOW on par with Knightonline? NO so Soulcalibur cannot be compared with street fighter or modern warfare even tough its multiplayer
@TheTuberguy1000 What makes soulcalibur what it is is its history and story of characters. it made you live trough the lives of other characters. but soulcalibur 5 messed that up again multiplayer is SUPPOSED TO BE PERFECT so you cannot give him praise for it. Do ppl congratulate you because you have an arm. in this case arm is multiplayer and the story is the brain of the body which ppl judge others by İS İT SİMPLE ENOUGH DNOW RETARD im gonna leave you with this i dont feed retarded trolls
@TheTuberguy1000 Can't you see that the majority of the players on SC5 play the single probably only once, then plays multiplayer. No one plays SC5 just for the single player. You're seriously so idiotic.The meat and potatoes of fighting games in the modern era is the multiplayer aspect. Soul Calibur sure has a story but that doesn't mean the story is the main focus of the overall game.
Soul Calibur was special because of the chain of people that interacted with one another. This new story is complete shit. its like some fan fiction that a desperate horny school girl made. Of course the multiplayer is good. of course the graphics are good and improved. They're supposed to be! if a game takes a step backward in these categories then there is a problem! Bascially i couldn't have put what u said in better words
@Emerl10 I'm for offense but this new way is just a gangbang of juggling and button mashing. its ridiculous. The critical edge is cool and the game flows so smoothly but thats about it. honestly the only amazing thing about this is the character creator. I hate saying this because the soul series is my favorite fighting series, but they should just quit their jobs and go be janitors or something :'{
You do realize that they both gave it the same score, right? And ign's reviewer didn't focus only on the story mode. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an ign fan, I just don't understand why you guys are so eager to suck on gamestop's dick and hate on other reviewers.
Soul Calibur big fail for me, its the same fighting mechanic of SF, why Namco WHY? now you turned a fine game by messing with ultra flashy attacks and bars, retarded, SC didnt need that and nobody ask for it
i like how the reviewer just glossed over the online features in this game so casually .....oh its good not alot of lag..... ARE YOU KIDDING ME this game has the most robust online experience of any fighting game ever period as well as having the most amazing netcode ever which is paramount to online play being viable for players as a tool to get better and have fun.
I used to want to buy this game, but then...fuck reviews :( they always fuck me up...why...
Altough I might pick it up anyways, I'm not really a SoulCalibur fan, or a fan of fighting games, I like them, I just don't have any myself :p except for Tekken on the PSP. Just wish this was a little more noob-friendly
@CorporateNothing Lol, I'm not really a seller type guy :p I don't usually sell games unless they're complete crap or I just really don't want it anymore or I need money. But I'll see.
i suck on fighting games but loved SC IV cause it was deep but accessible to pick up and play! This one seems too "technical" for a button masher like me!
ummmm, anyone gonna mention the character creator, y'know the main attraction for a lot of SC fans like myself... Nope, Okay.
Sorry gamespot, I love you guys but cm'on, you can do better reviews than that, it was a sloppy preview more than an actual review, so please next time do it properly!
i think in every fighting game every time you loss your character should say something like in Caherine like I fucked up or in MvC3 you pushed the wrong button
I say it's was a good review, SC has never been my favorite fighter anyway it always TO ME felt stiff and the frame rate seemed like it was low. But it's just my own opinion
*sigh* I was hoping to see the fire that was in Soul 2, that made it so fun, to also be in this game... but i guess not.

@TheTuberguy1000 BTW SC5 is a competitive multiplayer...have you ever heard of a little competition called EVO? It's just only the biggest fighting game championship in the US, no biggie...If a game is in EVO it obviously is a competitive multiplayer. You are so ignorant. BTW umad?

@happynightz v You are retarded and you fail to understand what i mean the point is story is the main part of the game now i will end this once and for all. Youve lost deal with it . The fact that you are this retarded means you are not even worthy wasting my time on you further so go fuckyourself

@TheTuberguy1000 I accept this comment as your plea to surrender, I forgive you for having an ideology of pure idiocy. This was a wonderful argument, it's just that the better man would always win.

@happynightz See you are VERY retarded. All the answers to your false toughts and comments are in my previous three ones youre just too retarded to understand Lore is the most important thing in this kind of game again look at tekken it has AWESOME LORE and it is released by same company You cant put a game in par with others cause its same kind of game İs WOW on par with Knightonline? NO so Soulcalibur cannot be compared with street fighter or modern warfare even tough its multiplayer
TheTuberguy1000 2 weeks ago
@TheTuberguy1000 What makes soulcalibur what it is is its history and story of characters. it made you live trough the lives of other characters. but soulcalibur 5 messed that up again multiplayer is SUPPOSED TO BE PERFECT so you cannot give him praise for it. Do ppl congratulate you because you have an arm. in this case arm is multiplayer and the story is the brain of the body which ppl judge others by İS İT SİMPLE ENOUGH DNOW RETARD im gonna leave you with this i dont feed retarded trolls
TheTuberguy1000 2 weeks ago
@TheTuberguy1000 Can't you see that the majority of the players on SC5 play the single probably only once, then plays multiplayer. No one plays SC5 just for the single player. You're seriously so idiotic.The meat and potatoes of fighting games in the modern era is the multiplayer aspect. Soul Calibur sure has a story but that doesn't mean the story is the main focus of the overall game.

@TheTuberguy1000
Soul Calibur was special because of the chain of people that interacted with one another. This new story is complete shit. its like some fan fiction that a desperate horny school girl made. Of course the multiplayer is good. of course the graphics are good and improved. They're supposed to be! if a game takes a step backward in these categories then there is a problem! Bascially i couldn't have put what u said in better words

@Emerl10 I'm for offense but this new way is just a gangbang of juggling and button mashing. its ridiculous. The critical edge is cool and the game flows so smoothly but thats about it. honestly the only amazing thing about this is the character creator. I hate saying this because the soul series is my favorite fighting series, but they should just quit their jobs and go be janitors or something :'{

This reviewer's a lot better than ign's. At least he knows you don't judge a fighting game COMPLETELY ON STORY!

@MrRyfoe
You do realize that they both gave it the same score, right? And ign's reviewer didn't focus only on the story mode. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an ign fan, I just don't understand why you guys are so eager to suck on gamestop's dick and hate on other reviewers.

Soul Calibur big fail for me, its the same fighting mechanic of SF, why Namco WHY? now you turned a fine game by messing with ultra flashy attacks and bars, retarded, SC didnt need that and nobody ask for it

i like how the reviewer just glossed over the online features in this game so casually .....oh its good not alot of lag..... ARE YOU KIDDING ME this game has the most robust online experience of any fighting game ever period as well as having the most amazing netcode ever which is paramount to online play being viable for players as a tool to get better and have fun.

Altough I might pick it up anyways, I'm not really a SoulCalibur fan, or a fan of fighting games, I like them, I just don't have any myself :p except for Tekken on the PSP. Just wish this was a little more noob-friendly
