I stopped playing Soul Calibur series after the 3rd installment. Yes it's a bit richer in content compared to IV and V but there is an overall blandness and old age showing.
Overall, I can only recommend this game to fans of the genre or the series only. The game updates very rarely, and there is no cross platform which causes player base on PC to shrink down to 300 players as I write this. They hold one of the core fighter who is Tira behind a day one DLC pay wall. Major problems about this game for me are these: - Graphics don't look much better than SCV which released on PS3 and X360. Gameplay is solid, lots of fun with friend or online competitively, although later on, only hardcore tryhards left playing it online. It's obvious they tried to meet a common ground with the first 3 games and 5. It's obvious they tried to meet a common One of very few fighting game series I can actually play more than a few hours and not throw up.
One of very few fighting game series I can actually play more than a few hours and not throw up. Sometimes a formula works very well, and for new iterations only minor tweaks would make it better. And their core fighting has NEVER changed since the first one. The new Dragon Quest for example got some low reviews from some people for reasons like that, but it's one of the most successful RPGs of all time, and bigger in Japan than even FF games. People rating games low because not enough changed in their opinion are totally missing the point of making a new installment. Changes I can live with because the core gameplay is there, and is awesome as it ever was and maybe even a little better, with a new skin, new levels, new story. This has super meters, soul charge and reversal edge as well as changing move sets some and balancing the game around all of that vs older SC. You change too much and you change the game's identity and what people like about it. Change for the sake of change is why we got SCV. + Pros: + Keeps what is good from earlier SC instead of breaking something that worked very well + Amazing Graphics + Great Soundtrack + Core cast isn't cut + Robust number of characters on launch + It isn't SCV + Character creation is robust - lost of people making cool crossover characters with it + Very fun ranked play + Core gameplay is the best + Cinematic moves added and lots of great particle effects Cons: - No chat or voicechat in casual lobbies - Laggy connections sound can jitter on PC - Had to wait 8 years+ for this game after SCV wasn't good itself so been even longer than that It's good they didn't change more. Pros: + Keeps what is good from earlier SC instead of breaking something that worked very well + Amazing Graphics
