There was a single player story/mission mode that i'm not sure made it across to any of its ports, but i remember it acting like the perfect training/tutorial. Completing all of those missions made me better at any fighting game than i've ever been and i wish more fighting games had a mode like that instead of a learn the combo menu.

I've enjoyed every Soul Caliber game I've played a great deal (I think the only ones I haven't played are the PSP one and the F2P one)

Kin posted:Soul Calibur on the DC was up there as one of the best fighting games i've ever played. Yeah, Calibur had the Edge Master mode similar to the one from Soul Edge on PSX. It's basically a bunch of loosely written storylines jammed together with harder and harder challenge matches, like fighting successive dudes, no jumping, juggle a dude for such and such time. Very cool. Too bad about the Dreamcast controller tho Sakurazuka posted:Sometimes I used to put the Soul Blade disc into my PS1 just to watch the intro We all need to shine on to see...my goon

The Dreamcast library has arguably the best fighting game library of all time. Soul Calibur, the entire Street Fighter 3 series, Marvel vs Capcom, King of Fighters, Capcom vs SNK, Dead or Alive, Plasma Sword, Tech Romancer, Virtua Fighter, Darkstalkers, Street Fighter 2 (Japan only), Power Stone... And it's paired with a beyond worthless d-pad and a set of microscopic buttons.

Also, I always felt like having four shoulder buttons was invaluable if you're not accustomed to arcade sticks. Like being able to set a bumper to be ABK or PKG or whathaveyou and save that as a setting just makes the experience so much more accessible. I hate triggers, but I can deal with the PS4 versions because at least it has 4 shoulder buttons. The DC triggers, tho, gently caress my life...I hated them. Never has my wrist ached so hard than while playing Soul Calibur on DC.

They've added some techy mechanics like guard impacts and critical edges over the years but I would say most people love the SC series for its characters and robust story modes.

Apparently SCVI takes inspiration from Guilty Gear and every character has some distinction from universal mechanics that you will need to learn so they're making it a little more systems heavy. It sounds awesome.

That’s exactly what I want. I mean I’ve played other SC games but generally only button mashed through vs matches. I’m excited for it.

Phantasium posted:I would play fighting games for the single player if a chunk of that whole genre hadn't decided it didn't need them or to do them well. It also had a bunch of cool fighting styles that were used for CaCs and then never appeared again (the bladed boots, the katana/shuriken combo, wave blades, the generic greatsword that had this double overhead swing the AI just couldn't figure out how to deal with, etc). glam rock hamhock posted:I've enjoyed every Soul Caliber game I've played a great deal (I think the only ones I haven't played are the PSP one and the F2P one)

I think this explains why some games had spotty availability in physical form, it seems Sony is finally launching a "Greatest Hits" line for PS4 on June 28th. I really hope at least some of these are pre-patched. $20MSRP. https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/06/19/introducing-playstation-hits-great-games-at-a-great-price/  Europe's version of this launches July 18th with 20 Euro price-tags and the following titles: Bloodborne Driveclub inFAMOUS Second Son Killzone Shadow Fall The Last of Us Remastered LittleBigPlanet 3 Ratchet & Clank Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Need For Speed Need For Speed Rivals EA Sports UFC 2 Yakuza Zero Earth Defense 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair Project CARS Dragon Ball Xenoverse Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition Watch_Dogs Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Rayman Legends Mortal Kombat X Batman Arkham Knight Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Street Fighter V Note that the cases for all of these will apparently be red instead of blue, like they were on PS3. univbee fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Jun 19, 2018 |

That's also not SFV Arcade Edition so that's a game with like 70% of the cast locked behind hundreds of dollars of DLC.

SF5 is its own mess but I'm surprised many of those games aren't complete roll-ups, especially with MGS5 actually being its complete version. Bloodborne and Driveclub really should have been complete.

I don't think that really matters if you're going for narrative order since it ties most directly into 1. If you want to go strict release order then sure. I'm waiting for Kiwami 2 and 3-5 to get localized before I play 6 tbh

If you are playing the remakes dont play them in (edit: original) release order, because they specifically designed kiwami 1 and 2 to be played after 0. Like there is new stuff in Kiwami 1 that straight comes from 0. Hell even 6 references 0 lol abagofcheetos fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Jun 19, 2018 |

I've only played Assassins Creed 1, and it didn't hook me. I didn't think it was that great. I know the games have improved a lot since, but I'll be picking up IV for  just to sing some sea shanties. I'll plat it if it means more shanties to sing.
