AND THE SOUL STILL BURNS

Even 2 I didn't love anywhere near as much as the first. God, that game MADE me get a fucking Dreamcast.

Soul Calibur was fantastic and an amazing improvement over Soul Edge. Soul Calibur III was pretty good too. But, yeah, I think I'm done with this series now. This is scraping the bottom of the Hot Topic barrel.

The original Soul Calibur

I might be done with the series now. I got bored with 3 pretty quickly. I didn't play much with friends though.

IT really sux against the AI - and those extra quest modes they add are ass.....

So yeah - Noone should buy this unless they will play with friends - its straight outa coin-op-ton.

I liked the quest modes myself.

Honestly with how boring Soul Calibur got with II and III last gen - VADAR inclusion spices this up enough for me to even be on my buy list.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #68 on:** January 09, 2008, 09:56:44 PM »

The fact that the inclusion of two nerdy out-of-place fantasy characters make the game a must-buy purchase instead of, y'know, the actual game just proves that you're EXACTLY the fanboy demographic that Namco is targeting. And that's the exact demographic that will be the first to go when the revolution happens.

Fuck, let's just put Chewbacca in there with Robocop and the Predator. Add Freddy and Jason for good measure.

That doesn't even make sense dood - the core Soul Caliber game is good - I wouldn't buy a Pokemon game with Vadar slapped on....

I will buy this game just to smash up the soul caliber cast with Darth Brooks.

I also do not even like starwars.

I think Namco should just cut the bullshit and create a brawler exclusively for self-masturbatory fanservice. Get this shit out of Soul Calibur. Call it XTREME GLADIATORZ and have it feature every popular film and game geek character ever. Solid Snake, Mega Man, Darth Vader, Sonic, Legolas, Master Chief, RoboCop, that bitch from Ridge Racer, Terminator, etc.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #75 on:** January 09, 2008, 10:02:04 PM »

See, Super Smash was already about stupid, mindless fan service, so even if Solid Snake doesn't fit into the universe...it didn't really matter. Keep this shit there. Soul Calibur at least had some sort of respectable aesthetic going. Ugh.

abrader · « **Reply #76 on:** January 09, 2008, 10:04:53 PM »

Also - I wont download Yoda - EVER

And Cajole yes I agree that Soul Calibur has traditionally been >more serious< in nature - but its a bloody coin-op title not a fudel dueling simulation....I mean for fucks sake the physics and scale in the game are the most fakest ever and it has been that way since Soul Edge.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #77 on:** January 09, 2008, 10:05:09 PM »

I'd buy a horror/sci-fi fanservice brawler.

Put in Jason, Riddick, Freddy, Ash, Wishmaster, Predator, Norman Bates, Pinhead, Dr. William Weir, Xenomorph (Alien), Leprechaun, Sil (Species), etc.

Problem-- Crappy sequel and even crappier spinoff sell poorly
Solution -- increase breast size

Problem -- breast size increase does not work
Solution -- add random popular characters to the game

Problem -- Random characters do not fit into the game's setting
Solution -- make each character console exclusive

Nope. I enjoyed the first one immensely. I guess because it was a huge leap from Soul Edge. 2 and 3 were more like expansion packs.

I mentioned this in a comment in James Mielke's 1up.com blog about this, and I'll repeat it here. If Yoda's broken as hell in the X360 version, I'll be incredibly happy that Samurai Showdown is going to take another stab at 3D, pun fully intended.
