Soul Caliber IV (and other stuff)

[silver_scars]

Soul Caliber IV came out today, but is up with the weak story mode? I mean, granted, you don't really play Soul Caliber for the story, but everything is exactly the same except for each character's final scene. On the plus side, in the character creation, armor actually means something, not just deciding between colors/types

Never played SC for the plot. Whoops? D:

Like I said, SC isn't really played for plot or story, but there's not even an attempt of story mode. It's just the fact it's called story mode that bugs me.

Who do you like to play as?

I admittedly suck royal ass at fighting games, but I really want to play Soul Calibur IV (Soul Calibur II was the last one I played and I really was not too impressed by it). I just have the slight problem of not owning either an XBOX360 or a PS3. Dammit!

I think Soul Calibur has always had a weak story line - I actually tend to ignore it and just ogle at the pretty people (yeah, shallow, I knows it). Wow, does armor really mean something this time around though?

Soul Caliber III wasn't bad, I enjoyed it. Hehe, the console lack does hamper playing the game!

Yeah, I know it's kind of a dumb thing to call out the storyline, but really, why even call it a story mode. I'm just annoyed by it's name, heh.

And oh lord, the ramped up the boobage factor in this game like you wouldn't believe! Holy smokes.

They should have called it something like...Linear Play. XD

I totally saw the ramped up boobage. When I was looking through my magazine, I was thinking, "WTF, stop waving your boobs at me!!!" I mean, seriously. There are some...er...cute guys in there too. But...the boobage. Stop. Please, Namco! Please!!
