Soul Calibur IV Review

Since Namco raided my youtube, here's something that they can't take down: ME!

The videos have been re-uploaded somewhere else, that either wont crumble to Namco or just hasn't gotten a letter yet.

Check me out!

Also there's a bonus at the end of this video if you can put up with all my rambling. Hint: I shout the wrong thing and hit myself in balls twice.

Normally this would be the part where I say "shit is copyright Namco" except Misturugi came to my house this morning and stole my newspaper so fuck that guy.

Welcome!

lol love the ending

[GamerDee]

Thanks!

The only reviews you can trust these days are the ones made by normal people, every single "professional" review I've seen lately seem like they were paid beforehand to make the game sound good. Halo 3, GTA IV, and Super Smash bros. all got high averages. Not to say they are bad, but they aren't perfect either.

I appreciate Dee's honesty, thanks for the review, dude. The lag might just keep me from buying this.

They fixed most of the latency issues.

Like I said I'd recommend a rental first. Really the issue of buy/don't buy comes down to what the tourneyfags decide to use as the platform. Buy whichever they like most and practicepracticepracticepracti­ce.

survival is tower of lost souls descend mode

[stalfoe]

Algol isn't OP, Starkiller is harder in arcade, ask anyone.

[bluevenom50]

ok ive watched about 10 reviews now and only 2 have not brown nosed this game yours and 1 other good review

[ichater]

cant improve on perfection aye? also worth pointing out is that almost all of the characters are usable at a competitive level

[ichater]

yeah the lack of a mokogin like character daunted me a bit... they probrally made the desision based on the fact that the games online now. Dont ask me why that would lead them to that desision but thats the one major difference between SC4 and all the other SCs.

wow ure skinny lol.

~response to earlier something about vader and abyss~

i still think it's cheap to "magically" make your enemies go up in the air, any where on text based rpgs, something like that is a total god mode.....different thing but still.....cheap that they put in star wars.....it just doesnt fit in the whole soul calibur theme, many of my friends who like both of the series agree with me.....

[fannypenis]

i think it is crap its realy boring not much fun the story is crap

[nsmnerd]

ni gameplay shit

[gango13]

i think the game modes are ok.

the game play is deep but not to hard to master (button combinations to pull off moves)

and it feel really well too so i don't think that more modes would make any difference that the game is AWSOME!!!!!

i specially like the feature where you can make your own fighter, thats just sweet

[nick12x2]

hehe funny at the end

yeah i'm also kind of disappointed that there arent that many game modes but i think the core gameplay, the bread and butter combat of the series, is the best its ever been.

[LeesMahMan]

i like this one a hellova lot better than SCIII. like he said its more balanced.
