So the tale of two swords once again graces their presence with this new installment of Soul Calibur V. And what a crappy game it is. You would think that Bandai/Namco would try to make their game better, but underneath the sexy time graphics the game is just as shallow as its looks.
Not only do they destroy the roster of characters by pretty much revamping the WHOLE LIST, these new characters are pretty ho-hum. You have this semi-white ninja that's supposed to replace Taki, Xianghua's lackluster daughter that's not nearly as good as her mother, and Sophitia's son and daughter that are not even as good as she is added together. What a way to kill your franchise Namco.
I still remember the glory days of playing Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast and then Soul Calibur 2 on the GameCube. Those were some good times. Soul Calibur V...what the frak is this piece of crap seriously. The super meter is just downright dumb and doesn't belong in a game like this. The guard system has been tweaked to punish the defensive players, and the single player mode is pretty non-existent. I think someone forgot to tell the developers that people still actually like to play games by themselves without whiny little kids on the Internet that spam single combo moves which take advantage of lag and makes the game not fun for everyone else. Great job Namco.
As they say fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. This will be the last time I purchase a Soul Calibur game. I will miss your golden years....until Namco can get their act together and make a Soul Calibur game that's worthy of your name, may you rest in peace.
By the way Legendary Mode Edge Master, you can go fuck yourself.
