Lost interest after II.

Guilty Gear is better than all of them anyway. >.>

But I'm going to be getting it this Fall when I get my 360. My girlfriend also wants it, so that was some extra incentive. Plus the game looks gorgeous. Can't wait to play it on my HDTV!

I loved II. Played the crap out of it. Just lost interest in fighters all together.

Same as fox here. Though this does look pretty good, and I feel the urge to smash some stuff with nightmare again... No link though which is lame. Link>>>>>Yoda.

Well, I'm a 360 owner so really... there's no choice but with Yoda.

Any word on what exactly you're getting extra in terms of character content with the special edition? I'm all about character creation, but I'm also all about not spending $10.

It basically doubles what you get at the start.

I personally love the jolly roger cape and can't imagine not having it.

Thespis721 · 08-07-2008, 02:18 PM

Okay. Is there any resource online that I can find this information? If it is that much, I can see that being troublesome to mention.

Hmm, I tried to look, but it's probably like 30 items, plus you get the final forms of the Soul Edge and the Soul Calibur for every character unlocked right away. If you think you'll be into character creation, then you're not going to want to miss it.

Thespis721 · 08-07-2008, 02:32 PM

Yeah, I see what you mean.

I have no problem playing the game to unlock these things but if they aren't available at all unless you get the Premium Edition........

That's incredibly stupid if that's true. I can understand giving out other freebies like the T-Shirts or whatever, and even unlocking some extra content early on, but actually taking stuff out of the regular game seems like a terrible idea: to make a game worse than it actually is. It's like selling a movie, but saying you have to pay 10 extra dollars to see the ending.

Besides, all of that extra stuff is in EVERY game, including the regular, they've just added a few lines of code to make it not available in the cheaper one. There's just something wrong about doing that, and I wouldn't pay the 10 extra dollars on a moral principle if that is the case. :P

Dyne · 08-07-2008, 02:43 PM

It wouldn't surprise me if they offered the same package later for $15 without all the extras. Hahaha.

But yeah, I think the only things you can unlock are the Soul Edge and the Soul Calibur.

Vampyr: It's not like that at all. You input a promotional card and then it sends you to a special download page where you download it all. It probably is all in the game anyways, just like Yoda and Vader, but those apparently won't be unlocked either.

I see the point of the argument of not including everything. I agree. As someone who works in the arts, I never sit and think about how I'm going to make something for people to see but then charge them an additional fee to watch more afterwards. Everything is a whole. But also, if it's just cheap little extra stuff, I can see them inserting that like DLC is nowadays.

Dyne · 08-07-2008, 08:24 PM

Hahaha, I saw some awesome characters today. I saw George Lucas, and a very convincing Lara Croft.

Today I created "Femme Fatale", a Zesalamus clone. So hot. Also, I changed my Ada into an almost-perfect Ada Wong from RE. As well, I have a Talim-style character named Bas Rutten (as in the one that appears in The Mens Room in GTA.) I gave him Talim's style because it's the closest one to MMA. I killed a guy 5 times and he kept calling me a "gay faggot" (lol) so I edited him up to make him look more badass. I put all-black executioner stuff on him, MMA-like shorts, and a Death Cloak. He looks way more badass now. I pretty much HAD to edit him, because someone performed a soul crush on me and my trousers were knocked off, and all I had left was a loincloth on this 50+ muscle 50+ physique. I messaged my opponent "That was disturbing" after and he replied "YES, YES IT WAS. O_O".

Man, so good. I kind of.. played for 5 hours and forgot about work this afternoon.
