So this game comes out in a week guys. WHY IS THERE NO HYPE?

Live stream, the game is pretty.

Well there is quite a bit of hype that I can gauge in other places, however it seems that pretty much no one around here is hype for it.

Personally I'm seriously getting tired of all the Street Fighter X Tekken bashing. Like I hate it a lot too but if you hate it so much just ignore it and stop justifying it's existence or something cause there's really no point in all this and it just gets to the point of being childish how people just keep dragging it up almost for the sole purpose to hate on it.

^^ I don't think they can incorporate characters from 1 and 2, (Also the characters from 1 aren't all that good to begin with) because from what I've heard 1/2 are in their own timeline or set far in the past of 3/4. Honestly, I don't want newer characters because they might ruin the narrative. Labrys was surprisingly cool with her accent, but I don't think you need to jam new characters just because when there's still some left and I honestly would like to see what ever happened to the rest of the P3 cast in their later years.

Well I know for sure that 1 and 2 do in fact take place in the same timeline as 3 and 4 as there is ample evidence in 3 that they're interrelated, in terms of time difference I think it was about a decade or so between 1 and 4 (though i'm not particularly clear on the exact amount of time). Granted though you are correct that 1's characters aren't all that strong especially when compared to 3.

Additionally depending on how you interpret the true ending it could make logical sense to bring back just about anybody really depending on how Atlus goes about continuing the story and whether or not the interpretation I have and others have made of it is correct.

If they were to add more characters I'd much rather see them try to incorporate someone from 1 or 2 or coming up with another new character then adding another character from 3 and especially no Korumaru.

You have to be interested and enthusiastic yourself if you would like others to be. Of course it isn't going to magically make people see the holy light but at least just incase others are, the uninterested people can drop your name and forward them to you.

Yeah I'd say that seems to be the vibe I get as well but, also from the people i've met quite a few of them don't want to follow or hang with just anyone it's like they want a "godlike" messiah figure to follow and learn from, like they have unrealistic expectations of some people, don't know if anyone else has ever got this impression but thats the attitude quite a few people i've met over the last couple of years have had.

Thanks for the light guys. Never heard it was like that. Saw some videos though but well, you cant judge from what you see only I guess.

I'm sorry that I gave that vibe of feeling so down on it. I just wanted to get to know whats about the game and why all the hype about it. Hopefully some RPG players can get into fighting games now because of it.

Enjoy the game guys  .

Well I only got that impression cause usually when I see people say stuff like "it's another Blazblue game" they usually mean "well this games gonna suck" but I can tell now that wasn't the case.

And yeah hopefully more people will get into it with the Persona/SMT connection but only time will tell.

Man I dont know why all the fuss about P4?! I dont see it as a great fighting game; it's another BB which guilty gear it much better to tell you the truth.

Honestly why all the hype?! someone explain please!

Well IMO and the opinion of many others it's much more like Guilty Gear than Blazblue. With new unique characters who don't necessarily need to played in a specific way and aside from Labrys/Shadow Labrys no two characters have particularly similar moves. Tier list is well balanced and the top tier characters aren't much more powerful than everyone else.Plus the combo system isn't very rigid since you have an array of options with one more cancels, bursts etc. to create combos. The persona mechanic also adds a layer of depth as it acts idependently of the character and can lead to intricate setups.There are more things I can't think of off the top of my head and anyways I don't see why you're so down on it in general?

Hello and welcome to the community AirLancer, it's a pleasure to meet you, hope to see ya around!

On the subject of online has anyone else here tried on PS3? Since so far for me its been kinda mixed-while fairly good overall- i've had some really bad connections with people in north America but also some real good connections with people in Japan, so has been kinda weird and overall hasn't been as consistently good as the Blazblue games so far for me at least .

Btw what is the point of a digital download at this point?

People who don't already have a copy can get one easily, especially since a lot of retailers probably don't have copies left and the ones that do are probably like EB/Gamestop and only have used copies.

Straight Jacket is pretty cool, good action, design and setting could've easily been a full length series IMO.

Hello and welcome to Dream Cancel Lacid, it's a pleasure to meet you, hope to see ya around and that you enjoy your time here.

Hello and welcome to the community Shrekbad, it's a pleasure to meet you.

1) What do you feel sets KOF XIII apart from other modern fighting games
2) Would you like to see a new release in the KOF series in the near future or continued support for XIII?
3) If you could play a set in XIII against anyone who would it be and why?
4) What do you think is the best aspect of XIII? and what aspect do you think needs improvement (If any is needed).

Also thank you for again surveying the community and I look forward to the interview.

Hello and welcome to the community Ryuhaku_Todoh, it's a pleasure to meet you and I hope enjoy the game and have a great experience here as well.
