get friends or get something else...
The AI aint the greatest but Reload does have quite a few single player bits that could make the 20$ purchase worth it.
150 Missions (Kind of like the Weapon master mode in SC2 but much harder) , Survival mode (difficulty rises as you gain levels:100 levels to go through and unlockable character movesets/colors as you go), Medal of Millionaire mode, and a pretty indepth story mode for a fighter with 3 alternate paths/endings for each character.
Big question is are you really into fighters?

To my knowledge I thought #reload WAS the korean version. Some movies I have seen from IGN on the Xbox #reload had the same character selection music and a level with the music. The music from the Korean version was just plain awful.
However, Midnight Carnaval (which is X2 on PS2) is some of the best rock music in a video game ever. Honestly I have no idea how they botched the music so bad.....

In the Japanese XBOX version of #Reload, if your console is set to English or Japanese language in the dashboard, the music will be the original Japanese soundtrack (The game text will also correspond to the language you choose in the dashboard) .. If your console is set to Korean language in the dashboard, the music is the Korean music, and the voices are dubbed in Korean. I am assuming that the US version will be the same way.
Or pay $20 for GG now and then $30 for SFAC in January like everyone else with a brain. *megarolleyes*
There's a tournament in Dec. in Philly and they're using #R there. I think it's safe to say you should get the Xbox game.
I'm planning on attending that Philly tournament to get my head handed to me if anyone from the GAF is going too.

Question is: How is the online play via Live? Smooth or Jaggy?
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
I think it's definitely worth $20. Maybe less so for single player if you're really good. The thing is...GG has such bizarre characters and funny presentation that to me it's a must play. I love popping it in every so often for that fact alone. I'm definitely going to get this version whether or not the LIVE is good (cause, um, I'm not that great at fighting games) just because I love the characters and rock cheesiness. I really don't think you'd be dissapointed.

Guilty Gear has seen a lot of improvements in its various incarnations (and has taken a step backwards with Isuka, but that's a different story), but yeah, it still doesn't have what it takes to compete with Capcom or SNK fighting games....it always feels too chaotic, and in Isuka, it's too chaotic to the point of being almost unplayable in 4P vs. mode IMO.
That said, I can't wait to see how #Reload is online.
Oh, and Mox....in Japan, people were all over #Reload in arcades, while SF3 sat there.
On the Majesco Guilty Gear #Reload forums there is talk of a Progressive Scan bug. Anyone know anything about this?
On the Gamespot forums there was talk that the game was delayed because the distributor forgot to pack in the manual. If that's true how could that happen.

I've played the Japanese version and never had any problems in 480p. The bug appears to stretch out the screen according to people on that forum, but I didn't see anything different about it on my TV.
BTW, wide screen support has been added to the U.S. version.
Doubtful, and according to EBGames, my copy shipped out yesterday.
Sysgen said:
I see what you mean now...thought you meant it got delayed AGAIN.
Yeah, I don't know what they're talking about with the 480p, but then again, I'm no "expert." Those guys didn't even know how to enable PS2 progressive scan though, so perhaps they aren't experts either.Lyte Edge said:
Did you play the Xbox Japanese version? This bug isn't present on the #R PS2 version.
For an example of the bug in action, check out the link below and look halfway down the page for kpatrick's post. He posted pictures of Xbox #R running in both normal and 480p, and the 480p pictures show that about a half inch gets cut off on each side of the screen.

#R kills everything SF. All IMO of course. I've played SF since SF1 in the 80's and used to play 3S (among other SF/KoF games) around NYC. I definitely play fighters for the competition and #R's just a near-perfect refinement of XX.
I love how offense flows in 3S but I can say the same about #R and its balance issues aren't nearly as annoying. In fact, it's probably the only fighter where I truly fear every character.
To say the game is too chaotic to play seriously is plain ignorance. I felt the same when I first started, having trouble with the high/low mixing moves and the aerial options but when you play the game more and learn the characters' options from their current state (ie. Sol normal jump -> double jump or air dash, not both, so react/guess your next step to punish), everything makes sense and you stop losing to what seems like random factors. I love SNK but #R blows away KoF's annual balance issues. The only reason SNK fans get away with the tired line about players using whoever they want is because of the lack of competition.

Played a couple matches, have run into zero lag. I did choose opponents that were rated 'Excellent' on the Optimatch window however. So far so good though...
Oh and I would argue GGXX capable enough of standing toe to toe with SF3 just fine. Game is awesome.
Oh and I see lots of people online playing Fable...so, is it just Live Aware or something? I didn't notice an XBL stripe on the packaging in the shop. Does it have Download support?

Anyone able to do FRC's with no problem online?
Saying there's no lag is instant bullshit, there's always lag that's just physics.
Readin the shoryuken thread looks like it's no different than I figured it would be, up to 1-2 second delays, but sometimes better. Any delay is bad (see DC SF3 compalints), but 1-2 seconds is just hideous.

My EB got in a single copy, which the quickly opened and put the empty box on the shelf.
I told them I'd pass.

GGx's gameplay is actually pretty deep. i havent played any of the latter installments but i really liked GGx on DC. i'd say get it for 20 bucks, really fun to play, great music and graphics, and there is a great amount of depth to the fighting engine if you're willing to forth the effort. cant lose.
My local EB's computer is claiming the game got delayed until the 23rd ?! Yet half of you are all buying it tonight and it should be everywhere by tommorow, friday at the latest. So why would EB's computer be saying next wednesday now ?
I'm canadian but still, that's never meant more then a day or 2 extra. Fable was at my local EB today.

i played online tonight vs. my arch nemesis (you know who you are scum!) and it was lag-free dominance for me.
p.s. suck it down DM! You just go chipp'd!
