if you're thinking about skipping blazblue because it's not online

i suggest rethinking your concept of "replay value".

because clearly CSII has more than enough to be worth a purchase.

nearly all of my favorite games do not have online...

"Find out with else is new in Blazblue: Continuum Shift II"

Lol. And the only thing that kept me playing BB is the online. Otherwise the game isn't really challenging.

Not nearly enough

They padded the game and that's horrible, there's 18 fighters and once you get down how the AI works those 18 characters you're done, the rest is just wash rinse and repeat.

Extended story mode? So we're going to see a few more cut scenes before we fight the same exact people the same exact way

A fighter this gen without online isn't worth playing

It doesn't have online?! What a waste. :(

I played the storyline mode over my friend's house and actually enjoyed it a lot. It's definitely on my list as one of the games to get for the 3ds even though there is no online. Most of my friends' would be getting it too I guess I'll end up playing with them :)

I like games with online, especially Adventure/RPG games with co-op. TankZorz

Definately NOT buying this. My money si going towards Dead or Alive Dimensions, can't wait for THAT! =]

So far I have Street Fighter and that is deff a must have for anyone interested in a game with great graphics, and a franchise that is known to be at the front of the genre it is in. Having said that, I also did love BlazBlue on my PS3 and will have this game on my list for possible birthday goodies. It is just a shame that they didn't include online in as well, I'd love to see how I stack up to some of the people who are really good at some BB. :P

No online experience can match the priceless reactions you get by whupping someone sitting next to you on your living room couch. Ever. Screw online fighting games. FPS, sure, but fighters were born in the arcade, and the idea of going up against someone without even being able to see the look on their face when they walk right into your insta-kill is beyond worthless.

No online wont affect me, since i don`t have Wi-Fi in the first place.

If I were to get a 3DS, i would buy this.

2- it's a game with easily 30 hours of value single player alone.

3- local multiplayer is and will always be better than online, even with voice and video chat. that doesn't mean it's a shame they didn't add online, but it doesn't render the game useless.

1- they "don't get online" yet both games you guys are praising for the online are japanese. hypocrisy much?

1: For the most part Japan simply doesn't get online. There are a few exception. It's one of the things they simply suck at.

2: Tons of Singleplayer content or not this is a figthing game. They have always been based around multiplayer.

3: It doesn't really matter if local multiplayer is better or not. Only having local multiplayer on a handheld is today pretty meaningless for most people. I can easily get a couple of people over to play SF4, Blazblue or TvsC on my consoles. I will never be able to play a local only multiplayer handheld figthing game. I'm 23, non of my real life friends will even think about picking up a 3DS. This is why online multiplayer is important for me in a handheld game. Why should I waste $40 on a port of a game when I can already buy a superior version of it for $20 to my PS3?

2- so you'll ignore 30+ hours of content, just because it's a fighting game, but you wouldn't mind spending the same money on a 10 hour game, as long as it's in the correct genre? i'm sorry, but it sounds just silly.

3- because not everybody has a PS3, it's blazblue on the go and it has all the DLC characters plus the new mode and stories. which, surprise, makes the console version more expensive.

1. Maybe they just. Don't. Care. You have to understand, most Japanese people will just go to the arcade if they want to play a fighting game. There, they can get the true, unmatched satisfaction of defeating someone in person.

2. Yes, they have always been based around multiplayer, just like they've always been based around signature arcade-styIe gameplay for an arcade setting. Stop trying to defend online multiplayer for fighting games when it wasn't even available when the genre was conceived, you bloody hypocrit.

3. Part of that $40 is for the fact that it's, you know, in 3D. Meaning those backgrounds will look even more glorious. But of course, you don't care.

Oh, a real man are we :o

That's not bloody laughable at all :lol:

How am I a bloody hypocrit again? I never said that online was better than local. I said that local on the 3DS is an impossibility for me. That's not the same thing as ignoring that Fighting games was born with local multiplayer.

The fact is though that the only way it would be possible for me to play multiplayer on a bloody handheld fighting game is if it's online. The game doesn't have that and thus doesn't have multiplayer for me to play. It's not that bloody hard to understand.

Well, The Japanese devs and publishers better get better bloody online or they will be even more bloody behind than they already are.

I wonder how much does it costs to them to make it online. I think they would sell much more if they added it. Still, I'm planning on getting it cause I like the series and I personally just don't play much online, so it doesn't affect me. Still, I understand why some people are pissed at the lack of it.

Will we see a release in Australia?

I've been interested in Blazblu for some time now.

I don't really play online and love Blaz Blue so I will get it but what a terrible lazy decision to not include online play for a fighter. No excuse for that anymore. You don't make fighting or RTS games with no online modes. Any difference between the 3DS and PSP version?Legolas_Katarn

Buying a PS3/Xbox 360 copy of CS and getting the free patch would be cheaper than buying the 3DS version even if you bought all of the characters. But hey, at least the 3DS has the worse control scheme and no online to back it up right?
