I don't think I've read a review since the PS2 days, back when I'd get Official PlayStation Magazine every month.

I pretty much play the games that interest me, regardless of reviews. I actually let reviews influence me, and I stayed away from Alice: Madness Returns. Then I decided to rent it on a whim, because it did interest me, and I loved the look and style of it. Turns out that I really, really liked the game (except for the last portion of it: just felt the difficulty ramped up too high when it came to the platforming, and the game's controls just aren't conducive to good platforming). I bought it then and there.

Play the games for yourselves. Make up your own minds. Reviewers are individuals too, with their own tastes and interests that will probably be different than yours.

I remember reading IGNs review of Heavenly Sword, and the guy who reviewed it wasn't a fan of those style of games. Big surprise, he gave it a mediocre review. Heavenly Sword is one of my favorite games of this generation. If I let reviews control my purchasing decisions, I'd have missed out on so many games that I ultimately ended up enjoying, and I bought each and every one of them without a single bit of influence from reviews or GAF. I buy and play what the hell I want, and make up my own mind about how much I'm enjoying it. No pixel counting, no console wars comparison BS.

This Italian commercial is horrible. The European commercial is the best one by far.

What the hell did I just watch? They didn't even get attractive people to blunt the awfulness. This can't be a real trailer, can it? Maybe it's fan made?

Ugh.

GAF can have it's moments when it comes to suggesting games that have been out for ages, and they've been able to get over themselves about it, but when it's a new game, it tends to be: "ZOMG! Teh HYPE!" then, by week 2 "Fuck, I'm just not feeling this game anymore. I've already sunk over 100 hours into it. Is the magic gone, GAF?" Then, a year later: "Man, I just popped in XXX today, and man, I forgot how amazing this game is! Shame it didn't sell so well!" This pattern hasn't changed in the many, many years I've lurked on GAF before becoming a full member.

As for All Stars review thread? I'm avoiding it like the plague. I just don't enjoy reading review threads on GAF. The smugness (from both sides) is usually too much for me to bare. I've played All Stars. I know it's kickass. I'm ready for the 20th. That's all there is to it. I imagine Superbot may release a demo for it later on, but hopefully anyone that plays it will give it more than just one or two matches. You just can't approach this game like Smash, which I'm afraid many people (reviewers as well), will do.

Luckily it's just for the web, but any site showing that shit will make more damage than good.
I hope the youtube feedback makes them pull that shit, the italian PSN team even failed to hashtag #PSABR

As a note related to the preorder costumes and Gamestop, remember that the code will be on the receipt so...keep it (and check the receipt before leaving the store). :p

Picking mine on Vita (retail) this Tuesday. :)

I bought it when it was sale after seeing people on GAF say how great it is.
Got it on my HDD now, just waiting to get my new component cables, can't wait to play it.

Thanks for the tip. I already have a receipt for paying the preorder so I'll have to make sure I'll get another one with the code. Gotta be extra careful with these things since local GS feels pretty unprofessional ;).

Combat Trial info (spoiler-coded for Figboy :p)

"The are 84 Combat Trial Goals in all.

- Each character has a set of trial goals per difficulty (HERO, LEGEND, ALL-STAR)

- General CTs are stuff like completing blocking drills, avoiding level hazzards, etc. There are 10 of these.

...

Correction on Combat Trials:

Each character has 23 specific character trials. I was mistakenly reading the goals count under customization.

So to clarify 23 trials PER CHARACTER. 84 Goals under customization. I believe that means 84 customization options to unlock in all."

Personally,
It all sounds like what we've seen in Training mode, I just hope it's difficult enough. I was really hoping for SSB-esque challenges like "Destroy x number of targets in y minutes". I dont think there's any info on specific combat trials yet. Maybe for DLC/sequel

I wonder how difficult the final trials are for each character. Hopefully there's a ton of complexity that extends past that, as these should be good for getting a feel on what's possible to do with the characters.

Oh well. Hopefully we get some nice character trailers for christmas and release for january. With Kat included I think the roster has shapen up real nicely and Emmett I'll give benefit of doubt since Starhawk gameplay looks pretty cool and every TF2 player knows building turrets is always fun.

20 characters can hold my intrest for quite a while anyway.

You have it? :O

Wait, what's wrong with the trials? How are the specific trials? What's the level of customization for game settings?

training mode better have the full customization of umvc3, or persona. If its anywhere as bad as MK9 then this game is close to being big booty butt cheeks.

Alright, when I make the thread I'll push the cut-off up a bit. Heath, can you please add me to the list of people looking for a partner? It looks like Desmond may not be able to get the game before the cutoff :(

Don't need to add you to the list since you will get partner pretty fast.

Guys who seek for a partner, look at poor lonely Scrafty. He's very serious about fighting game and I recommend you to grab him soon as possible before you regret it! :p
