Soul Calibur IV

OK guys, SCIV is almost here. The game is looking pretty hot, and I've found a way to hopefully get it free. And you can help me out too! I know most of you remember me helping with information/screens/etc. before NG2's release, so hook me up a bit here.

Go there using my referral and register. I get coins (the currency for the community) and you get a shot at the game and other cool stuff for free by doing nothing more than answering trivia and doing the neat little missions. It just started up so you won't be far behind.

Yes I am shameless advertising for my own benefit, but as I said, it benefits anyone who wants to put a little time in. Plus you could turn around and do the same thing I'm doing here with your own referral link.

Also, I want this thread to be the official match thread when the game releases, so keep it alive. I'll be using Yun Sung.

Thanks!

I owned SCII when it release. I was really hyped at the time. The ninja Taki breast with nipples in the intro movie and some screenshot convince me to get it. When I played for quite a while. It wasn't as good as DOA. Anyway the voice on the chick was pretty annoying. Anyways my two cents is where namco throw in some fresh busty chicks and upgrade to current one (I think they even got busty-er now) just to get you to buy it, honestly. It not a bad game if you got the time and money to spend.

I'll have to disagree, I got alot more into SCII than DOA4. The weapons thing really appealed to me. I got it at release as well (for the GC, link was pretty sweet) and had a blast, played it almost exclusively for 8 months, beat everything there was to beat, got all the unlockables, and was moderately good with everyone and was an expert with Cervantes, memorized the entire movelist for that guy.

Anyways, I never got SCIII (was it exclusive to something?) and I'm kinda divided on this one, as I heard 3 did nothing significantly new or better, and I don't see anything great about 4 other than the hype characters.

Maybe a rent first, i dunno.

no, wait, I lied. That last mission on the harder difficulty, never beat that fatherless child. I finally gave up after a few months.

Still, good game though. Online would have made it even better.

Just got the game, and having just finished SC1 and 2 recently, i have to say with my rushed 1hour of playtime, i'm initially disappointed in 4...

Like what the hell? They removed LOTS of moves AND slowed down the game. It no longer plays like a fluid game, and maybe a bit TOO close to the Tekken feeling, in a bad way. Like i was Fighting Seigfried, and i can confortably say i saw ALL he's moves coming, especially when his average move takes like 0.5seconds to hit you >_<

I understand they probably wanted this game to feel less like a button basher, OR fit in with the online play, but i felt it was a MAJOR sacrifice...

Graphics are REALLY impressive, but it doesn't help when the cutscenes are THAT corny/cheesy. That intro movie made me cringe many times >_<

i'm gonna give it a second go, see if the gameplay changes really were for the better, as well as ogle at some of the graphics a bit more. Characters without much chest (eg. XiangHua) STILL have breast physics! Surprised

Just played the game with a bunch of friends, and it's not that bad. In fact, if your not concerned with how not-soul-calibur the game is with the star wars characters, it's awesome!

So it's a good game for multiplayer purposes... i wish they gave it some better single player portions...

Also, it seems like only the familiar characters feel like they're slow. If you disregard the existence of the older series, characters feel fine.

I'm just pissed that the Xbox360 didn't get Darth Vader.

The graphics are great and the fight is also solid. The game is very slow pace. The story mode is weaker. The idea behind the lightsaber does not cut through something and I know it's a game.
