Annnnd I just beat the game. Man... that was fucking awesome. I immediately want a sequel to this. I would really like to see some more God Hand designs integrated into this. By the end of the game, as you learn your way around the characters certain situations can feel a little easy on normal. It'd be really, really nice to have a god hand style difficulty bar in this game.
Now I can fully dig into multiplayer

Nikolai's "death"/defeat sequence is probably one of the most awesome things I've seen in a video game. They really, really had me going there hahaha.
Also I'm totally down to try some survival. That sounds really cool. Will add you.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I'm getting Twisted Metal flashbacks from this. That is: the game is awesome and incredibly fun, but getting into an online match and staying there is a nightmare.
Because they know everyone would rather play Jack first.
Because Cybrid Joe is a dick.
game is clicking. playing a bunch of 1v1 and 2v2 helps a lot. Game really feels well focused for what it's trying to do.
i'm sure people will be mashing for a while (especially that 360 move), but once you get beyond the wtfness of everything going on, you start to pick up on fighting mechanic stuff and it begins to really come together.
hopefully people give it a chance, especially for the price. btw connected to a friend who had the jpn version and it said region japan, but the connection was fine.

It is pretty nice when it hits though...
Seems like I do best in small rooms of free for all... I've run into a few players (one level 50) which seem to know the game inside and out and I can't deal. So far it has been a little frustrating getting my bearings. I'll follow a plan or sequence which seems to work... until it doesn't and I'm left quite confused. Also 360 attacks are rather annoying... I still remember that from the demo, lol.
Yeah... some really bad menu decisions here. Like being unable to skip the whole point counting sequence and having to sit there for like 10+ seconds while the counts your exp and saves. Lots of joining full rooms and it uses some inflexible player count rules.

bad gameplay lol
Absolutely. The campaign mode is decently long, and you can do all the online modes with bots offline as well. There's plenty to do if you don't want to play it online.

Can you only unlock characters in Campaign? Or can you do it in Multiplayer too?

I will definitely be snatching this up in a few hours
What? I'm hitting fools left and right with that. Works best either straight out of a good combo, or to support a team mate.
Yeah, love it
Funny to hear Jack say "Anarchy Reigns" after hearing him say "Max Anarchy" for so long on my version.The Black Side is the best side. Had more funnier dialog and cutscenes too.
Kind of weird the Red Side you only use Jack. I guess they consider him the primary main character I guess.
I hate that every last one of his attacks is unbreakable. It's annoying.
Red side is whoever you play as first in the campaign run.
Last night I had the funnest online multiplayer session I've ever had in a game (playing since 1985)--and I only played one round with PXG, Eusis, and a few others. Thanks, guys. I was like a child again. It really was that fun. Sorry I had to go after just one round. Sasha is awesome and might just have to be my main.
I absolutely LOVE the way those Platinum medals look. I'm completely obsessed with getting all of them on Hard mode, that mission against Garuda and Durga at the same time was a pain in the ass to Platinum.
What a great game though, Nikolai is my man, his voice is fucking perfect! Speaking of voices, is it just me or does the actor who plays Durga in english the same guy who did Salazar in RE4? They sound so much alike, I really have a feeling it's the same guy.
Oh, and LOL at Leo saying "I am the law!". Judge Dredd quotes, so classy! This game is just really fucking cool, so much fun!
Thanks for the good times P*!

How long is the campaign? I started off on White Side and just cleared out
. Do I need to do another play through for the Black Side?

Thank you for making them! ^.^
Not gonna be on until Friday night. Can play Death Ball in practice mode/scrimmage mode? Need to get my skills way up.
I have trouble -staying- in them. Seems I always get disconnected somehow, like three to four minutes from the end of a match.

My copy should be arriving tomorrow.
I will hopefully sort out my streaming and get something acceptable broadcast out over the weekend.
On 360, btw.

any huge differences on PS3/XBOX? I'm inclined to go PS3 just because I won't have to shell out money for live (even though they automatic renewal'd me, those fuckers). Specifically the online connections/graphics? I know the PS3 sometimes gets the shaft
PS3 was the lead platform, meaning the one they developed on first. It has the same online and framerate (like a 1-2 frame difference at time, according to technical analysis). The PS3 version also has the benefit of NO screen-tearing.

Still no go for me. Going to wait until later tonight to try again.
Managed to get an hour in last night, mostly campaign and free mode. Did play a survival match online as well, which was pretty fun. Not sure I'm ready for competitive multiplayer though.

Perfect, just the info i needed. Had a similar situation with Dragon's Dogma, I had to exchange the xbox copy for a ps3 version because the tearing was just so bad.
30$ is just so right - I wasn't gonna get it for awhile but now I'm reconsidering. . .
Personally, I had a really difficult time getting into matches yesterday, and there were some significant lag issues at times. It honestly kind of frustrated me to the point of just putting the game down for the night. Earlier in the day, though, the game played fine with a few hiccups, but nothing too serious. Hopefully it was just a temporary issue or some problem on my end or something.
I'd definitely recommend the game. But bear in mind:
1) Online can be a tad laggy at times, and I keep getting disconnected two-thirds of the way through a match, despite online working fine in all my other games. Maybe it was just a timing issue, though.
2) There's a slight learning curve. Go through the tutorial first. Basically you have light attacks (Square) and heavy attacks (Triangle). No complicated inputs -- not even hadoken complicated. Just Smash Bros-like combinations. It's more about timing, I.E., hit Square, wait a moment, hit Square again, which creates a different attack from simply hitting Square twice.
The tricky part for me was learning, under pressure, how to keep the Killer Weapon and Guarding straight in my head, but after a couple matches, it clicks.
You hold L2 to pull out your weapon; while holding L2, you can use Square or Triangle, on the ground or in the air, to do different weapon attacks. You hold R2 to guard, and while guarding, tap X to dodge (or X and a specific direction to dodge in that direction).
You can dodge three or four times before your character needs a split-second breather. Your weapon is likewise regulated by your KW guage, which fills up quickly as you hit people with regular attacks or get hit yourself.
Note that once someone has you in a combo, it's hard to find a break to guard -- usually it'll be when you hit the ground. Also, you can be grabbed while guarding. Best to put your guard up and roll back with X, or do a 360-degree crowd-clearing attack (rendering you invincible at the expense of a little health) by holding Square and X at the same time.
No, I redeemed mine on January 2nd without any trouble.
I haven't noticed tearing at all in the 360 version based on playing a bit last night, but I suppose people have had the game for quite a few months now and have tested it more extensively.
I had a LOT of trouble getting matches last night, I only managed to get into a single Dogfight match. I didn't try making my own though, which is how I always got matches going in SFIV. I'm more interested in the SP at the moment, I don't really want to go online until I've got more characters unlocked and some decent combos down. I don't think I'd be able to do much considering the only character I can use is Jack and the only good combos I know all start with standing heavy.

I laughed out loud the second time Jack finished a combo with "Fuck off!" because the first time I wasn't sure he actually said it! LOL!
This game is exactly what brought me to videogames in the first place. Super mechanics, lots of depth, big dumb fun, lots of crazy and of course a massive wad of cool art, sound and music. It's fitting that the box has SEGA on the front.
