Title: Soul Calibur IV Update Now Up For (J)360
Post by: bork on September 18, 2008, 06:30:05 AM
I assume it's the same fixes and move tweaks as the PS3 version.  MAF or anyone else with the 360 version, can you tell me if it's up for the U.S. version?  I never did get clarification if this was a Japanese-only update, although ever since the update last week, I haven't had one match against a U.S. player in the PS3 version. 

The update also caused me to LOSE the last set of custom parts I unlocked by hitting 30 achievements, WTF!  But I happened to have 30000 gold and never bought Soul Calibur Final Form for Nightmare, so I did that, got the achievement, and got the parts back. 

It's been fun playing both versions simultaneously; my opinion now stands that:

-The PS3 version looks better*.
-The Xbox 360 version loads a bit faster.
-The PS3 version has LESS players online, BUT no shit-talking distinguished mentally-challenged fellows and more skilled players.
-The Xbox 360 version has MORE players online at any given time, but idiots, scrubs, and shitty connections.

My rank in the 360 version is at 31.  On PS3, it's only at 22, and my play time has been roughly the same in both versions.  I have a much higher winning percentage in the 360 version...

*BUT I am playing the PS3 version via HDMI and the 360 version via VGA.

It was any achievement, wouldn't matter.  Just some weird save glitch thing, I guess.

You used a CODE to download the weapon?  WTF it's super easy to get that achievement.

LOL I dunno

ANYWAY CONFIRM

why would I buy it for ps3? id rather buy a bluray for my ps3. I think my main problem with PS3 owners saying one version looks better than the other is how they act like lack of AA adds 'crispness'.

I purchased the LE version, and it included a code to download some unique CAC stuff, and it unlocks all of the mythical and joke weapons for everyone as well.
