Yup, another fantastic review for a fantastic game. For those on the fence, check it out! :)

That's like 3 AAAs so far isn't it? Good thing I have money.

God dammit I cant stand waiting for this damn game.

AAA on both IGN and Gametrailers now, this basically comfirms an AAA here, or at the very least AA. I might actually get this now, not normally a big fighter fan but I don't mind a good fighter every once in a while.

first time i ever heard about this game....where are the characters from?ReaperV7

[QUOTE="Brownesque"][QUOTE="ReaperV7"]first time i ever heard about this game....where are the characters from?ReaperV7

Tis a very enjoyable well worth the praise. Each character has its own way of fighting, and no, it's not just a slight variation, but completely different styles. It's not like SF, where every other character has a charge/quarter-turn moveset that pretty much copies Ryu's fireball.

This game looks to be extremely over-rated from what i've seen. I guess i'll have to rent to see if it actually deserves the credit its getting. Adrian_Cloud

So you haven't played it, yet you claim such a thing?

Oh boy... *facepalm*

If you don't enjoy it, then fine. That doesn't mean it's overrated. But the fact that you're trying to claim such before even touching it just reeks of preconceived notions.

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"][QUOTE="ReaperV7"] oh i thought they were characters from some random amine show. D00nut

I can't wait too pick this up. :D

Is it just me, or are some people hopping on the BlazBlue bandwagon? No one cared about Fighters when the genre is dieing now suddenly in 2009, everyone is hardcore Fighter fan who posts on SRK.

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"] Might as well be, they are pretty generic.Adrian_Cloud

It's flashy and fresh. Since you haven't actually played the game you're trying to form an opinion about, then atleast listen to the reviewer in this video review. If you had, then you wouldn't have made this post I'm quoting, as your complaints are all addressed in the review, and they don't hold any weight whatsoever.

Awesome as news, screw it I might as well just buy it, it will need the sales help anyway since it probably wont sell very well :(.

I can't wait too pick this up. :D

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"][QUOTE="D00nut"] A little harsh for a series that just started fresh. What were you expecting in a fighting game?

well the last couple of years wasn't really big in the fighter front... Besides SC4 what else? So there you have a reason, how talk about fighters, if there are not really much of those games... The same example with platformers (one of my favourites genres) how can we people discuss about it, when there are barely platformers anymore?Giancar

[QUOTE="Brownesque"]

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"] I don't know who the character is but he(not the guy in your pic, but a guy from blazeblue) looks like a demon from a miyazaki movie, i swear almost identical. I'll try and look it up.

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"] For a series thats just starting fresh, I expected something fresh. I've yet to play the game, but the gameplay looks more flashy than fun, along with the generic characters i don't really see a reason to pick this up. The music sounds cool, and its great that their staying strong to their anime roots. So kudos to them for that.Adrian_Cloud

No offense but, you obviously didn't after reading your post.

Dear god, listen to the review. Your gameplay concerns are addressed.

I can't wait too pick this up. :D

D: AaaAAaaaAAh! Do want! Naooo! Think I'll go to Walmart and get it...if they have it. :3killab2oo5

Are you a fan of fighting games?

I need to get home and play this. My copy has been sitting at home since july 1st :-(. I'm suprised with all the favorable reviews. I knew I would like the game as an ArcSystemWorks fan, but I didn't think this game would change many reviewer's minds about 2d fighters.

I wish Ignition/SNK would give us a nice little dvd or soundtrack with it. :( This is the first KoF since the NeoGeo era that is so dang expensive. All the PS2 releases were dirt cheap.

BioShockOwnz

The PS2 versions were good but not great as the others. The last great KoF game was 2002 which is arguably better than '94 and '98.

I wish an artbook came with both games. That should be like a requirement in Limited Editions. :P

Nope, only the first 500 pre-orders on Gamestop.com came with it.
