Am I the only one who cares for Soul Calibur V?

It doesn't seem like many are truly hyped for this game. I may not get it day one but I do want to get it and it does look great, but no one seems to talk about it. There not even any reviews out yet even though it comes out in two days, and yet Final Fantasy XIII-2 has reviews from everyone. It seems as though it is kind of lost in the dust.

I love the SC series and I was super pumped about SCV but then they decided to no put Talim in the game so I said screw it. I might pick it up someday when down the road when it is cheaper but no way am I paying full price for a fighting game when they took out my favorite character

I have it on pre-order, I'm looking forward to it.

There are around 6 reviews on Metacritic, giving it from 80 to 90 for a score.

The idea of a weak single player seems to be a bit of a put off but I'm getting it to play against friends so that's not that big a deal.

the *ring out* thing is why i could never get into the sc series, i dunno it just makes a fighting game seem stupid.. if there was a way to disable it *or better idea* had it never been added to begin with i'd luv the series.

I can only speak for myself, I'm not interested in fighting games. For a fighting game though, Soul calibur would be my favorite...

never was a huge fan of SC but i did enjoy it every now and then. It just doesn't look like its changed much over the years though and imo the roster for 5 is awful. I hate just about every single new character and only like a few of the returning ones. They are missing a bunch of mainstays imo.

I like the series, but won´t get the game.

I do too. I have it on reserve at Best Buy so I can get that dlc character.

I think this one seems better than four. I like the fact that there are new characters. If the developers are just going to put the exact same characters in the game again and again, why buy the next title in the franchise? I like that this game has a story mode. Mode options were lacking in the last game. I will not buy the game at launch, but I will definitely play it.

I have SC 2,3 and 4. I like them all but I always thought the single player storyline was short and terrible in all of them. The games always seem to be around the 85 rating.

As for the ring out, I actually don't mind it because the stages don't always have rings, some infinite stages, the stages are pretty large, some cages and it brings another aspect in fighting. I like knocking my opponent off the cliff sometimes. And there is a lot of directional movement to avoid getting knocked out. It isn't like a 2d fighter and you push your figher out.

I think it does it much better than Virtua Fighter where a player simply just steps out the rings and loses.

I wish Soul Calibur V had a bigger roster. They shuld've combined all characters from past Soul Caliburs with the new characters and have like a 40+ character roster rather than just a 24 character roster :{. I have to admit though some new characters look pretty sweet.

I don't like most of the new characters aside from Ezio, and he's the freaking guest character.

It died with three...

I'm sure I will get the game one of these days then again I haven't bought Soul Calibur IV yet. I do have Soul Calibur 2 & 3 I also have Soul Calibur Legends.

Soul Calibur 2 is my favorite in the series Soul Calibur Legends pretty much sucked not even Llyod being in the game helped and Soul Caibur 3 was I though was okay, but I liked Soul Calibur 2 better not sure on Soul Calibur IV or V. and haven't played the first game in the series yet.

For me, the ring out is great. It's always a laugh to have your friend on the verge of beating you, only to toss them out.

I hate how the story mode in SC5 can only be beaten as Patroklos. So, no more multiple endings for replay value.

I also hate how the new game mode is just another arcade type game mode. SC2 had Edge Master, SC3 had Chronicles, SC4 had the disappointing Tower, and in SC5......all the fans are getting is a special type of arcade, vs. mode, quick battle, and training mode.....that's worse than SC4's ridiculous Tower mode.

They didn't even add co-op team battles online or offline. I'll be passing this Soul Calibur by.

In my case it's the massive letdown that SC IV was.

Yeah SC IV WAS a qualitative good game that brought fun, but when you have played and loved SC III before and loved it, SC IV felt like a graphic ++ / gameplay - - - version because it felt like so much had been taken out.

If SC V should get back to the awesome quality that SC III was in terms of gameplay, music, game modes and so on then I'll buy it for sure, but I rather wait till I see some reviews saying that and test playing it myself.
