  • nd <3 blazblue

  • FUK U ADVERTIsEmENT fking earth pethetic humans for their money obsessed behaviour

  • i wish this was on PC ;_;

  • BlazBlue is The bests Fighting game ever play :).

  • I don't always play fighting games, but when I do, I prefer Blazblue.

    WHY ISN'T BLAZBLUE CS EXTEND AVAILABLE IN CANADA YET!?!?!?!

  • @greensloth22 This game has a huge story campaign: about 20 minutes to get to a character's ending, x 3 for the three multiple endings each character has, x 15 for each character's story = several hours longer than most fighting games campaigns (and more entertaining too).

    But you don't like anime... hmm. The story is very anime-like (I'd recommend this game to all anime fans for the story alone). Try looking for a playthrough of one of the character's stories on youtube, and decide.

  • Question: I like fighting games like Soulcalibur, and I think this games art style is amazing.Yet, I can't bring myself to like anime. Would this game be alright for me or should I just go with UMVC? I heard UMVC's campaign is really short, is this game's campaign long lasting or short as well?

  • Is this really combo intensive or is it fun?

  • @jimmyjoemonkey Also have you heard of the mother series? It's pretty original for a JRPG

  • @jimmyjoemonkey Hmm I can't give up on JRPG's. I'm trying to think hard to make my game non linear. Off course you will be able to explore every inch of the world. But I'm striving to make a better combat experience than just hack in slash. Nothing wrong with anime art. I love anime art it's very nice looking.

  • boring blazblue

  • es solo para psp...XD?

  • @kens0999 psp? Continuum Shift is for Ps3, Blazblue Portable is for psp

  • @BieelWoW Continuum shift 2 was released for psp, essentially the same with a graphic tone down

  • maneiro

  • @SentientSpam mm you're right! There aren't very many american games with anime art. I think I'll make them in America. I still want to visit japan though. And my novels I'm writing I hope I can make manga adaptations of them

  • Well it's just a matter of weak for the Extend. Who else is pumped

  • Give us Guilty Gear XXX!!!!!!

  • @HXCDropDead dude gross

  • I just got this from Gamestop. Its my first BlazBlue game.

  • IGN giving good scores? lolwut?

  • a - for repeated content? SSF4 does the same shit, and so does MvC3. but at least they add new characters and story line. and blazblue adds characters though DLCs without a new game. Also, they have huge patches where everybodys comboes are changed to blanace the game.

  • @Ritsuioko23 *will be*

  • @VirtualJudgement Although I still love Japanese games I have to agree. Though the mother series is pretty original in it's concepts and such. I'm hoping to revolutionize the JRPG genre when I move to Japan withym my ideas. Problem is I don't know if they Wilkins be original enough. Also I would like to create a new form of RPG gameplay, problem is I don't know how.

  • @Ritsuioko23 I'm just curious, but why move to Japan to try and make one of these games? Unless you're Japanese, it might be better to hit up a studio here and then make it excellent enough to be translated over to there (much like games here are from Japan). There are many studios to join, which may or may not be connected to a publisher (you'll want a publisher to go big, versus no publisher = indie style game). I am going into illustration and graphic design and want to work for Valve someday

  • -CANTA CHINO , CANTA ,

    - YO NO TENGO COSO .

    JAJAJA

  • @bestgamer2112 Too bad japanese games are far better than shitty american ones. At this game has a good plot, good characters, and gameplay, play before you judge. I hate how Americans judge Japanese stuff without giving it a try, when they make the best games.

  • @Ritsuioko23 you're just as bad to say that American games are all crap.  I'm American and I like good games, no matter where they come from.

  • @Ritsuioko23 i just love good games....But f***ing kids who thinks cod is the best game and they judge street fighter, blazblue or bayonetta has a lot to learn!

    put that AK-47 down kids! let's have FUN for one time! ;)

  • @Ritsuioko23 Japanese games have been lackluster lately. Especially JRPGs. Even the Jap game-devs admit it.

  • @Ritsuioko23 japanese make the best platformers and fighting games imo but it ends there. can't really get into their writing style. cultural thing i guess. i find that western developers have more creative leeway and that allows a deeper gaming experience (exluding shit like COD). japanese developers on a wide scale rehash a lot of tired mechanics and anime art styles. game design is also too linear. jrpgs are a prime example. i need to see more innovation from japan.

  • I cant fully enjoy fighting games because the xbox 360 controller makes it soooo hard to do combos n what not

  • Who crazy for the Extend to be release?

  • to asian for me ill stick with MvC3

  • @bestgamer2112 that's japanese as well dumbass

  • @bestgamer2112 yes and its spamming gameplay...dumbass

  • @bestgamer2112 Your a faggy scrub. Go kill yourself.

  • Another example of broken reviews. If you rate a title with less characters and less content a 9.5 how can you rate that same title now a 8.5 with the additional content? The original title should perhaps not have scored as high as it did or was it simply the originality of that title that increases the score? I understand that with the era of DLC we expect more from sequels but maybe IGN reviews should consider their original review scores on these titles.

  • Do you play with the buttons or the stick?

  • TheYosh96@ go fuck your mother then.

  • i only missed out on this one because i cant afford a ps3 silly ryan :p i hope they release all blazblue games for pc ... i find it to expensive to buy console for just this game :o

  • What's the name of the first song please?

  • @zeyn9 Ao-iconoclast (its the song from the console opening of calamity trigger)

  • @Shadow009909 THANKYOU :) I knew I heard it somewhere

  • The people playing in the background kinda suck. I don't think I saw a single player land a combo finisher, they just kept dropping them halfway through and then forgetting to block.

  • Which one is the first game?

  • @darkbyke calamity trigger

  • @Shadow009909 Thanks! 

  • iv never played blaze blue before but Noel is hot.

  • mw3 didn't get a (- repeated fucking content) you bastartds

  • My favourite fighter of all time, have it for PS3, PSP and 3DS and I STILL play it everyday. Put a total of 500 hours into this game in total, I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

  • i honestly didnt expect to get spammed on a game like THIS...

  • can some one help me, i cant do distortion drives for taokaka. I flick the controller stick twice in the right position and press A, B or C, but nothing happens.

    Please help me, :P btw im playing on my pc

  • @SuperMegaMackan96 and i meant calamity trigger

  • Ive been looking for a good fighter to sink my teeth into. I recently tried UMVC3 and was put off just by the fact that the better player doesnt always win. This game looks alot deeper and more "the better player wins." Can someone tell me how the online community is cause i have barely any friends to play it localy.

  • @maxismydog101

    online, yea its very skill related, if you can get a hit in, the better you are = the more damage you do (possibly throw in distortions and astrals), obviously noobs will spam, but if you know how to block, (again skill related) it's all good.

  • "Legion Needs Work"? Wtf is wrong with it? Too hard for you IGN people?

  • I like listening to each characters stories. It relaxes me.

  • I love Continuum Shift but the original fighting mechanisms are way better.

  • @Mrcapo100 um no they aren't

  • @davem1992ftw Well it's just a matter of taste and style.

  • @Mrcapo100 it's the same basic style with alterations to make it play better.......how is Calamity Trigger better if it's not made as well, improvements = better game

  • @davem1992ftw Ok Ok take it easy It's just an opinion. Don't need to get excited. I Like better Calamity Trigger mechanism and you Like better Continuum Shift You like the alterations I don't. Geez

  • ssf4 is moslty about countering and being patient, waiting. In Blazeblue it fast pace and fun. Made for offensive players

  • @sbmsuperman hence why i detest ssf4 lol

  • @sinshenlong sf is really good. bb is also. I can't pick one. It all depends on what I'm in the mood for. If I feel like playing it safe I play sf, but if I want to go crazy attacking like a mad man its bb.

  • @sbmsuperman i play ssf4 too its good as a fightin game bt as a console experience it sucks- NO CONTENT and u only have barebones modes along with online which pretty much sucks . Online on blazblue is far more enjoyable even with my horrid connection >_<

  • NO F**K DECIMAL PLACES MAKE IT 9!!!!!!! XD

  • "Did you miss out on the first Blazblue? Yes? Well, you're a terrible person!"

    Fuck you too, Ryan.

  • @GIR177 what about the psp version might give this one a shot 

  • I played the guiltiy gear franchise several years ago... far to stunning grafics back then, was the first 2d with nice grafics for my eyes.

    Ppl who liked this game, i will also recomend u to try out "Umineko Ougon Musou Kyoku" tho is a game with just a few characters... the animation, and the characters are beautiful. The gameplay is nothing new either, but is fun to play :)

  • blazblue 4 ever

  • after playing mk9 ive turned into a fighting game junky, at first i didnt give blaze blue a fair shot but now after seeing it again i think it looks fucking awesome!!!! im pickingthis one up after i buy kof xiii

  • @DSN107 good lucky with that. I own BBCS and the people in online ranked matches are BRUTAL

  • @Thsnickaman lol i like that, but can u tell me if the community is still strong? is there alot of players online still?

  • @DSN107 Totally.I run into players all the time. Although with BBCS Extend coming out alot of people are going to switch over when the US release date is announced

  • @Thsnickaman well the extend version is just a remake of number 2 for the psp

  • Стянитесь уроды!!!!!

  • if this was 3D omg

  • @Maple1Pirate The graphics are perfect as they are.

  • @DeidaraRyzuraki2 No one going to add ya out of random it's strange don't ya think. personal i will never add some one out of random. but however if ya want a match just leave a comment on my channel & i'll play ya.

  • I play this game if you have a ps3 add me if you want lol

    PSN: ShippudenSage

    :D

  • is there any1 online anymore for this game in the ps3 version?

  • @fpsisfun i play this game:) add me psn:HollowPhoenix503

  • What is the name of the song at the beginning?

  • @kewldude475 iconoclast, its the opening song of the first game.

  • @Angelie724280 no one cares how u got it

  • @Angelie724280 OBVS NOT SPAM LOLOL

  • Woot! Hazama!

  • Continuum shift is a sequel or a fixed version?

  • @Mrcapo100 Both.

  • Didn't they use the online mechanics from this game in Third Strike Online?

  • do you get this game in PAL version?

  • i dig it.

  • I can't skip 30 sec ads anymore? D=

  • Thats right i remember :D This reviewer is HILARIOUS! I love him :D If IGN doesn't use this guy often USE HIM MORE!

  • Btw 8.5 is an amazing score... that is like a B+! Most games get a B- to C so be happy, well besides MW3 etc. but thats because everyone in this world needs violence that is realistic just so they can have fun when people are actually doing it and they cant respawn :D Oh and i cant wait to get this game :3 im only saying that because i forgot what i was gunna say :/

  • two word for this. "DOWNLOAD NOW"! ^___^

  • This is a game that will age much better than the new street fighter games...Why?

    Because 2D games age much better over time.

  • @tom11zz884 That and the new SF games are jokingly meh. I am impressed with the new MK though. I just love Arcs fighting games. They are ALWAYS good.

  • @Dreamwar cause its different and more interesting

  • love all the characters in this,, fucking sick game

  • What is it with peoples' infatuation with Street Fighter's animations? The characters look like plush dolls and the attacks look like a kid is swinging said plush doll by its neck and kicking around another plush doll. Blazblue's animations are unrivaled in 2d fighters.

  • seriously? They said the animations are stiff??? Really IGN? really?

  • @BBoyPhreshershist They are part of the 3D animations of bust craze, they have been since the PS Alpha/SF/Fighters at all years.

  • By the way, why do I think of Time Crisis whenever I hear, "Rebel 1! Action!"?

  • They say that it dosn't have much new content yet they listed off like 4-5 things before saying that, that where new,

  • why did they print such a limited amount...the gamestop closest to me that has it is a good drive away! Guess I'll fork in a few more bucks to get it on amazon

  • Can I understand the Story of this game, withour playing the first one ? I don't want to buy both of them.

  • @JBAsamim325 yeah. its a great game. deserves a 9 also. you will understand the story

  • @Mattwi

    Okay thanks. I love 2D Beat 'em Ups... this looks awesome.

  • @JBAsamim325 hopefully you can find it. about 1 store in my city has it thats about an hour away....

  • @JBAsamim325 The story wasn't really that memorable to tell you the truth. I've finished Calamity Trigger with all characters and I can honestly remember nothing about the story. It's all about fighting to me anyway lol

  • is this game available for xbox360?

  • @laraza973 Yes, $20 from Game Marketplace.

  • @laraza973 Yeah, it is available for the 360.

  • @tom11zz884 Yes it is you can probably pick one up online for about 20-30 bucks

  • 1:07 EYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA!!

  • Blaz Blue is an awesome game I think he deserves more status in the world of gaming it looks like it was done with great ease! Many details, charismatic characters, beautiful animation, exciting fights! Who has this game has to spread to friends! 1000 note

  • the guy talked positive about legion, yet its a - "need work" make up your mind.

  • i cant believe i spend my damn money on this game...way tooo much dialogues im actually pressing the A button more then half the time....plus i dont get the controls unless its at beginner mode...

  • @ADHDrenaline It's a good story, plus the controls are easy as hell, with inclusion of shortcuts for those beginners. You don't have to memorize thirty-eight thousand combos and you can pick up and play. The only real problem with the controls are that some of the finals are hard to do quickly and/or properly. The exceptions are Rachel, Tao, Ragna, and a few others.

  • @ADHDrenaline Ahh, The New Generation of Game Players. The controls are actually good. I think U just mad that you can't pick up a character and own everyone online so you go on the internet to whine about how badly you suck.

  • @realw0rld listen up oldtimer, im giving my own opinion because it's possible and i wasnt dissin anybody...and you start dissin me out of the blue cuz of what?...because you only got the balls to badmouth someone on the internet? Well on that note...you prolly only got the balls to beat people online because you aint got no damn skills when it comes to a real fight, huh? Go suck on urr joystick and stop puttin time into botherin me...

  • @ADHDrenaline Oh dear, look what we've started. Just practice...It's not a hard concept...

  • @ADHDrenaline The story is presented in visual novel form. Also, I don't see how you don't get the controls... I'm just guessing your not use to play fighting games because this game controls were extremely understand (even for me, a person who would play Naruto fighting games).

  • Everyone shut the fuck up, 8.5 if a great score. Deal with it.

  • @Moonchipz yes, but BlazBlue really deserved better 

  • @Moonchipz

    yup, calamity trigger is better

  • @Pajatheyugiohpro01 no it isn't, Continuum Shift is a far better game

  • is this better than mvc3?would i be missing out if i sold mvc3?

  • @KashgroundTM it's a much slower game than MvC 3 but it also has a lot more content and a more balanced roster of characters. It isn't immediately appealing but if you stick with it, it's easily one of the best fighting games on the market.

  • @TheNaughtyChap i play games from 2-8 years ago...i dont have an issue with stickin with somethin lol although mvc got fuckin old.what fighting game only has 4 combos for each person lol

  • 0:11 - He croaked... surely any normal person would've rerecorded that. Lazy.

  • I don't believe this prick is comparing the sprite animation to SSIV. What a douche.

  • @evilthecat13

    Honestly speaking, I and many others actually prefer BlazBlue animation over Steriod/Bulky men and women.

  • 8.5?! I would have given it a 11/10. If such a thing existed. BlazBlue...Is possibly the

    most addicting game. Ever.

  • @realw0rld heck yea!

  • @ChillinInTheBoysRoom Yes there is a lot of fpeople online but not so many as ssf4

  • I find it a coincidence that the like % is the same thing as the review score of this game.

  • Sombody in the fighting game community like Justin Wong, Mike Ross, or Marn should review fighting games

  • this game sucks, TJ is thin lol

  • whats the name of the first song ?

  • @1504luka It's the opening song to the Calamity Triger intro, the song is called Iconoclast.

  • @1504luka ao-iconoclast

  • I suck so bad at this game :( Yet I like it

  • lol repeated content,and they always compare it with SF, dude, SF is crap compared with this game...

  • You know what...COD brings up so much recylced content that I honetly think they raid the recycling bin at the office every day. If MW 3 doesn't have some NEW stuff, I'm talking actually gameplay, not a new gun or equipment for my guy online, then the COD franchise has lost me. Blazblue may repeat content, but the game takes fighting to a great level, especially on Continuum Shift II, which I have for the PSP. I like Hellsing :D Beast-Mode Werewolf :)

  • Is awesome

  • Best.Game.Ever.

  • there is so much more to fighting games that people cant see with noob eyes sighhhhhhhhh there needs to be a legit person to review fighting games not some scrub omg

  • I owned a mint copy of BB calamity trigger limited edition and foolishly sold it on ebay because I could not undestand the game mechanics as I'm a big street fighter/KOF player, well now I'm happy to say that BBCS brought me back to this franchise the tutorials are excellent I recommend that anyone that is on the fence about buying this game to just do it for 19.99 brand new this game is really worth it but beware that the each new DLC character costs about 7 bucks which is pretty expensive.

  • Not different? I had to relearn my main fighter! >:(

  • Got this game today. Only thing I hate is the bitch that says "COUNTER! COUNTER!" every 5 seconds. Anyone know how to turn it off?

  • @HeyiTzLampyyy yea. dont get counter hit...

  • if i havent played calamity trigger is there any point in getting that and then this, or should i just get this one?

  • @DivineBanana i think you should just get this one :)

  • @DivineBanana this one is alot more beginner friendly, but if you care about story, which is awesome, get Blazblue CT, other than that, get CS

  • IGN = IGNorance

  • Hazama fast? He's the second slowest character in the game. :P Only rivaled by Hakumen and Tager.

    Good review, and I own this game, AND I FUCKING LOVE IT!

  • are people still playing this online? because i am planing to get it. is it worth it?

  • @1504luka yes...surprisingly, its mor live than street fighter online right now....and there are 3 dlc character to download

  • @1504luka What part of the world?

  • @TheRealVordox i'm from europe

  • @1504luka It's decent, but NA and Asia has higher amount of players. On the Ps3 atleast, not sure on the Xbox.

    It'll take some time to get around with good players in the area.

  • also a unbalanced character roster

  • i keep losing fights in this game because i love looking at the background

  • BlazBlue has a lot of potential and I liked it, but Calamity Trigger had few characters with most designs reminding me too much of other anime/game character designs. Nu-13 looks like something that came out of Gundam 0093, like Nu Gundam especially with her floating blades. Ragna is almost Dante fused with Auron of FFX. GGX character design and fighting styles felt much more original and genuine. I don't find the two new characters featured in BB:CS to be an irresistible addition to the roster.

  • This game is CRAZY :p
