Soul Calibur IV... disappoints me.

When I first heard SC4 was coming out, I was probably the happiest chick in the world. I had so much fun with SC2 and SC3--they're some of my fav games ever. I love the new characters Setsuka and Tira from SC3, so I couldn't wait to try them out on SC4. I was impressed by the stunning graphics and the smooth gameplay of the game. I had a lot of fun when I first tried it out, killing all my opponents and doing lots of specific matches in versus mode. It was a lot of fun. But then... it started to get really boring. Sure, I love how there's an online thing. It's great that SC fans can now duke it out online. That's probably the best thing about this game. However, a lot of people online are a lot better than me... so I don't do it often. That's certainly not the reason I'm writing this blog, though. I'm sure many of you out there disagree with me, but this game is quite boring to me now. There is seriously nothing to do on it. Besides the characters miserable excuse of a story mode, arcade mode, towers of souls, and online... there's nothing! The previous games had championships, missions, survival, team battles... there were so many different things to do, and you could have the same amount of fun doing them over again! There is NOTHING to do on SC4! I bought all their good weapons, made them crazy strong... oh yes, that reminds me. The Character Creation mode. I think the new version of it is both good... and bad. The good is that you can create very strong characters, increasing their attack, defence, and HP depending on the armor you put on them. Plus you can create 50 characters... that tricked me. I thought you could create 50 characters for EVERYTHING... like 50 different versions of every original character, and 50 of your own. Sadly, as I figured out recently, that's not the case. The other bad is that if you make your character really strong... they'll end up looking retarded. So... yeah, that's basically my point. I want my characters to look good when I use them. So, that's the point of my blog. True, I will still say SC4 lives up to it's series name, and it's a very fun fighting game with great characters and astonishing graphics. However, with very little things to do and the storyline growing weaker... I'm just hoping this isn't where the SC series breaks down and dies. To be honest, the only reason I play this game now is because I love the fighting system and the characters. That's it. I hope the SC games to come impress me.
