I'm not very interested in fighters much, but it's great to see this game get some positive reviews.

Oh, it is. I hated ToV and SO4 for its annoying anime characters. Just skip all the story crap and get to the fighting in Blazblue. :) Loading... loading... loading...:evil:

It's surprising to see how such quirky characters can be so devestating.

Also, have you gotten the True Ending yet? It pretty much screams the new characters that will be in the next one.

it looks good, if PS3 ever gets a price cut I might pick it up, hopefully there are still some limited editions when that time comes around.

Wow, that was a great review... Im not a big fighting game fan, but I am a pretty big anime fan. Is this game good for the casual fighter fan? Does it offer enough variety to keep the average person interested? Also, I really want to buy it, but I just recently got gamefly. If I bought it through that, would they send me the game case and the bonus CD I heard about?wolverine4262

Its probably the hardest fighting game i have ever tried to learn at a complex level. Its right up there with the Virtual FIghter series, and this is coming from someone who has been playing fighting games since the original SF and Vampire Savior.

[QUOTE="Toriko42"][QUOTE="D00nut"] Not sure about the bonus stuff, but the gameplay is approachable enough to be enjoyable. A few buttons, and your character can be flying across the screen in a swirl of flashy goodness.

Cool, so far Game Informer is the only source that gave it an average score. After playing the 360 version it didn't deserve a 7.75 more like a 9. Hell they even game SF4 an 9.25 (Not that SF4 is a bad game)

I was going to get it today, but $60 dollars is steep for my pockets. >>' I really don't think it's worth it either...watching review now.killab2oo5

You think that's bad?

It is best to import games here in Aussie because EBgames (and pretty much all retail stores, part from JBhi-fi) sells new/popular PS3 games around 110-120AUD which is about 88-96USD.

Compare Unchanted 2 preorders. Amazon has it for $57USD (60 is normal US price) which is 71AUD (75AUD for 60USD) while EBgames is selling it in Aussie for $110AUD which is $88USD.

So yes, Australians are paying $31USD (on average around 25-35USD more) more for their games. (generally other stores are cheaper then EBgames, not by much though).

want this game so bad :cry:

IS this XBLA? i want thisFaulttt

It's visuals are the best 2D graphics I've seen so far. The animation is superb. It plays very differently than all other fighters. Every characters is like a game on his/her own. The roster is diverse and the character design is crazy. It's very deep, but very easy to get into. The replay value is high and it takes 30 hours to finish the story mode. Not to mention the netcode is the best I've seen so far for a fighter. It may get laggy at the beginning of the match but when the announcer says "Action" everything runs smoothly like it's a local/offilne game.

People, it's worth the 60 bucks, cuz it will provide you with more gameplay hours and fun than most games this gen. This is simply the best fighter I have ever played. It's so complete and perfect (spelling mistakes aside). Yes, it does have some anime cutscenes, but if that alone can turn you off because you don't want to be considered a 'weaboo' then that's your problem and no offense, you're an idiot cuz you'll be missing on a great and wonderfull game, with ton of replay value and hours upon hours of pure fun.

Any news of this game being released in Europe..?

[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.

This guy?

Toriko42, the learning curve is pretty good in this game is much higher than SFIV. However, this does not make it a bad thing. In SFIV, a lot of the gameplay is based on pure reaction time, with no real system behind it. What i mean is that SFIV is a very simple bait and hit kind of game. In blazblue, if you keep on baiting and running back, you will get negative penalty and take 1.5x more damage. Also what makes this game much better than SFIV is that there is AIR BLOCK. What this means is that if you run in to an opponent who's about to do an uppercut/ shoryuken, you can block midair. In SFIV, however, once you jump, you're at the mercy of anyone who can do a shoryuken. I've been playing 2D fighting games for a long time and know a lot about them.

[QUOTE="Shoooryuken"][QUOTE="mexicangordo"] The game is way easier to get into than SF4 because its easy to do "simple" combos, whoever, the reason the game is getting such high scores is because players who are very familliar with the fighting genre experience something completely different. This game is kinda like SSBM in the sense that its very easy to get into, but extreamely hard to master.

It looks good but Street Fighter 4 I would say is still number 1 fighter of the generation at the moment.

Looks good, but I never was much into fighters as I suck at them.

I havent looked much into this game because i want to be suprised when i get it however i do have one question for those that have the game.

Where does the level of boobage rank in this game?

5 - meh (Virtua Fighter 5)

4 - There but still kind of meh (Tekken )

3 - About right (Street Fighter IV)

2 - oh snap!, those are big (Dead or Alive 4)

1 - Bonkers (Soul Calibur IV)

Thats not too bad, probably between DOA4 and SFIV. Dont get me wrong, i love mammaries as much as the next guy but when it gets ridculous *looks at SCIV* it just makes the whole game ugly to me. SC hasgood gameplay, they all ready had the guest characters to sell but i still dont get why they needed to overly bust the overly bust women already. Do you think it really made that much difference in sales?

Well...i dont know why you put soul calibur in front of DOA, since only 1 character is ridiculous, and maybe 2 characters are bordering on the ridiculous, while basically every DOA female character has huge knockers despite their frighteningly childish faces.

I will say that the one character in blazblue that has big boobs is probably close to as big as they get in video games, and her character archetype is none other than the "big sister" character. Her lines are often inadvertently dirty (or maybe not so inadvertent, hard to tell). Everyone else is very tame.

I think it's a fair bit steeper than SFIV. It's super easy to pick up a shoto character and kind of hold your own against an experienced player by using spacing and very basic knowledge of the game mechanics. While it's true that you can easily mash a 3-4, w/ some characters up to 10 hit combos in blazblue, you'll basically find it impossible to even touch players who really understand the game. It's much harder to defend in this game, and spacing is not nearly as simple as it is in SFIV.

The input timing for the combos are much, MUCH more lenient than SFIV though, but overall, i'd say to get mediocre at blazblue takes more effort than getting mediocre at SFIV.

Going to chime in here. Complexity and depth are not the same thing. A game can be relatively simple and have great depth or be incredibly complex and shallow. I'll have to play this one a while before I can make claims on the level of depth.

Its mainly SCIV compared to DOA4. DOA4 kind of proportioned the girls more in terms of bust. If you play it and then go play either 2/3 (or even 1) they at least made some changed.

But SCIV, im assuming you mean the one ridculous 1 is Ivy. I personally thought Taki was just as bad and there were a few others.

But its not really about the size, just look at how much is showing. Characters such as shura, tira and sophitia (along with the ridculous bunch) are revealing way way more than any of the gamespredecessors and evenDOA4.

Anway this took a weird turn, im switiching back into BB mode. Im probably going to get the game tommorow. Is there alot of content? (i know theres around 10 characters which im fine with).

Oh no. The game doesnt even have an EU release date, there was me hoping to pick it up tommorow. Well.....thats dissapointing.

Anybody know how long the Limited Edition will be available for?

*Drools* Looks like an utterly perfected version of Guilty Gear X. I LOVED Guilty Gear X2 #Reload on the x-box (made my thumbs numb one day) and battle fantasia was a game with some promise, it's one of the only utterly indulgently Japanese things I enjoy. I would find a game like this grating if it took its self too seriously but here its just pain mayhem and fun. I think this will be a sure buy for me.

Does anyone know if they have left the character sounds in the original Japanese? Becuase that was one of the few things a really liked about battle fantasia

:cry: No European Release?!!!!!??!! :cry: This just ruined my week *Sniff*BoloTheGreat
