Soul Calibur on SegaDreamcast

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Gameplay from Soul Calibur, playing on the Sega Dreamcast retro(ish) video games console. Retro Gaming.

Big thanks to Stew, ninjabearhug for sending this game to me, along with many others.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's more a case of me speaking my thoughts while playing the games, many for the first time, and most for the first time in a very long time... so it's all a little spontaneous and random.
Predictably, as I never practice before recording, I usually play very badly.

Given that I am playing many of these games for the first time, and everything I say is completely off the cuff, you probably shouldn't take what I say overly seriously. The opinions that I express are my feelings at the time, but it's entirely possible that they would be different if I were to take the time to get to grips with the game.
However, given that these videos are intended to show that "first time experience", I believe they have some validity or merit.
If you'd like to know more about why I make my videos the way that I do, it's all explained in this video

Namco fighters like this series and Tekken are fantastic. Never underestimate button mashing. My wife kicks my ass at these games by button mashing!!!

[SteveBenway]

@neojake999gamer My wife totally slaughters me on Tekken by button mashing :D

[electricadventures]

I'm hopeless at beat em ups, but it's only because you really have to learn the button combinations for each character and I am too lazy :)

I like the graphics on this one - will definitely have to get a Dreamcast at some stage to complete the Sega console collection.

You got way further than I ever do it these type of games :)

[SteveBenway]

@electricadventures The Dreamcast is definitely very worth getting hold of. The only thing that lets it down in my opinion is the controller, which I find a little unintuitive... but it's forgiveable, given all the great games on the system.

I only got anywhere in this game coz I had it set on easy... which even a retarded amoeba could do well on :D

6:30 LOL!

Soul Calibur is easily one of the best games on DC (which is saying something) and it's a release title!

Good thing you got stuck with Taki as she's a great button mashing character; That Narwhal bloke is very slow and plodding, so you would have probably had a hard time with him.

[SteveBenway]

@Quimbyrbg Ah, right... I don't get on well with slow plodders. *Sticks with Taki* :D

This game has a SHIT load of fighters & bonus items hidden within it. You'll be playing this one for a LOOOONG time.

[JimPlaysGames]

You'd be surprised how little knowing the moves actually helps. I spent ages playing this and knew loads of moves, but was beaten by two people each holding half of the pad while neither of them were looking at the screen XD

[emuholic]

@TeamRocketReviews Hahaha, to be fair other fighters have superceded this graphically. At one time SC used to be the best looking fighter on any system; at it's launch on the Dreamcast. These days the Soul Calibur games don't look that good. They just blend on in the background amongst the other fighters. That's the problem with having no real update to the visuals. **I just wish they'd innovate or expand it enough to justify the price tag, but they won't**

[Rockythefishman]

I am not a masive fan off beat em ups but I am a big Soul Cal fan mainly because you can button bash :0 love it. The one you played on the DC is the best off the lot

[andy7666]

@electricadventures I actually like the controller on the Dreamcast - its pretty decent for the time.. The DC is an amazing console though, if you like your arcade games its definetely one to get, certainly it takes where the Saturn was going and runs with it. Get one ASAP, they're nice and cheap ;)

[SteveBenway]

@senorverde09 I think it and before I know it, I've said it, without even thinking :D
