I, I think you're in the wrong thread...

It is. That's a funny mispost.

Out of curiosity I put my Xbox version of SC2 in my 360 and played through an Arcade mode. It looked pretty good in 720p, though it doesn't support widescreen in 720p mode on original Xbox. It wasn't bad though and it saved me $20.

I'm almost done with the regular missions in weapon master and ready to unlock the EX missions, I'm on chapter 8 of 10.

I'm also starting to unlock endings and theater stuff in arcade mode. Man, this is like the olden days...

I went the extra mile and unlocked Lizard Man. WM mode isn't what it used to be, I actually didn't enjoy it at all.

Was the kick ender in Cass' Guardian judgment always this hard? I can only pull it off like 2 out of 10 times.

Didn't the Xbox version support dolby digital? In that case it sounds better than the HD version too. And ofcourse the JP VA. I usually don't care about it but the ENG VA is just fucking bad. Really, the only issue there is 4:3.

The terrible thing are the damn tedious dungeons, especially the later ones, with like 20 braindead easy battles and you can do them fucking twice for the extra mission. Don't remember hating them so hard ten years ago. The rest of the challenges was mostly fun and motivating I think, a little too easy maybe.

Never played AE but I was somewhat disappointed in SC3 for PS2. Still, the mechanics were decent. But the game itself was a hot mess. I heard good things about AE.

Most of them missions were really easy. Except for the dreaded church one you have to do again to unlock Subchapter 2. I liked how you could just leave the coliseum matches after one win.

I liked Mission Mode so much more, it wasn't needed to unlock the cast but it was a nice grind for artwork hoarders. No dungeons too. The Edge Master mode from SE was excellent as well, it had genuinely interesting individual storylines. At least thats how I remembered it. And dat Travel Diary BGM.

A lot of the Weapon's Master Mode missions would be a lot more fun if it used the same rules for you and the computer. Having to fight 5 or 6 enemies in a row without getting knocked down once, though? Screw that to death.

I've been going back and forth between this and SCV, and Mitsurugi feels soo much better in SCII. I feel like has so much more options in SCII, which makes him more fun.

If anyone wants to play any games on Xbox 360, add FGC GAF on Xbox Live..

Don't know if this was answered before, but there are levels within some chapters that don't unlock upon completion of the previous level in Weapon Master, (chapters 8 and 9, and subchapter 3, iirc) and I need to know how to unlock them. I need to unlock the third level in Pollux (sp?) so I can unlock a subchapter.

It's hopeless. Don't waste your bandwidth.



Clearing the "Extra" versions of levels in certain chapters will open paths to levels in other chapters. The only chapter that requires anything beyond "beat all the levels" to unlock is the Edgemaster one.

Shit, I'm having trouble with the extra level in Pollux...

Hm? People are saying its a bad game/port? The reviews I found were rather decent.

Good, but what about an online patch?

It's dead, Jim. They're too busy pimping Tekken Revolution to pay any attention to SoulCalibur. But hey, if you bought this, at least you'll get a fucking swimsuit in that shitty ass, single player SC game they'll soon abandon.

What didn't you like about it? I thought it was one of the better SCs feature-wise, it just had really cheap A.I.


Anyway, I see people talking about problems with this version, is it still worth getting? I wouldn't necessarily play online anyway, just relive old times.

If you just want to play it offline, it's fine. Same game, just prettier.

So whats the name of the song that plays in the broken church/castle?
Can't remember the level's actual name and can't even play the game yet to find out for myself.

Oh shit, didn't even know this existed. So many good memories of soul calibur 2. Owned all three console versions(Spawn was by far my favorite). I'll pick this up at a later date sometime when the price drops.

Edit: If that's true the netcode is shit. Then I'm not gonna pick it up. That's a shame.

Time to play this game again! I can't check the link right now but does it mention anything about being able to skip the win animations while playing online?
