Why does Namco/Bandai suck so bad at F2P?
They're so eager to get the cash that they forget that the game has to actually be good for us to want to spend money.
Also, for some reason they like to toss out perfectly fine mechanics and hire someone to design the game as though they're writing a poor fanfiction to a good novel. "
Soul Calibur would be awesome if the characters leveled up and had easier combos and like... elemental attacks. Single player only, otherwise it ruins the immersion!"

Seems about right, although it's even funnier if you hit triangle and a direction at the same time with Sophitia because the AI simply never even attempts to block it.

Well, apparently, all regions of the game use the same server. So I went ahead and downloaded the EU version. The game is basically Puzzle & Dragons with a SoulCalibur skin. My player code is 5432015122 if anyone wants to add me. I'm trying to get some clothes on Sophitia at the moment. LOL

GIF responses are the best thing about making a video.
Honestly if you really are on the fence about downloading this, it cannot hurt. But I think this is a very low quality game that isn't really worth your time when you can pick SCV up for cheap.
I will say one thing, I like there not being ring-outs.
The question is why is this game so bad when Tekken Revolution is actually pretty okay.
They sure are pushing F2P!
Ridge Racer F2P
Tekken F2P
Soul Calibur F2P
Gundam F2P
There's more but I don't remember/don't care

The Gundam F2P game has been extremely successful for them. So, that's likely what pushed them to start making so many other F2P games.

I have error 205 or 2005 when trying to launch tutorial.
Ace Combat beta ran very well online.

How much they scammed you for? And if it's a piece of shit why are you so mad that you can't play it?

You've failed to grasp the entire point of this 'game'.
The shit you'll get is the ability to play this game.
Wahoo, I think it might be working now. I'm into the character select screen now.
Interesting how the first thing you see is Sophitia in her underwear...
Edit: I just played the tutorial... what the hell. R1 to special, R2 to call in partner. What is this mess?
Edit 2: well that was short lived. Error 2005 now.

Well, a lot of the combat has been simplified to the point where mashing a button can get you certain combos. I find this game to be pretty enjoyable, really. It's akin to Puzzles and Dragons; not going to spend any money on it but it's a guilty pleasure.
Yep. You might get a few disconnects because of the flood of people right now though, as well as loading screens that take so long that they make you think you disconnected.

I don't care about anything, MUH TAKI IS BACK
I'm glad they figured out one thing, if nothing else.

This is actually pretty fun, but the loading times are ATROCIOUS.

They did good in bringing Sophitia and Taki back. Hope normal Kilik is on the way eventually.

The only winning move.
It's just obsessively communicating with Namco's servers. It's a pretty annoying hangup.
I wouldn't mind it as one of those one-player modes from the main console games, but yeah, the load times kill it.
Yeah, the long and frequent loading times are unfortunate. Tekken Revolution doesn't have this problem, so I wonder what happened here...

So i've started this one again ( i had played the japanese version before ) ...and then i realise that i've kept everything ( lv , items ) ...
The game also updated my trophies from japanese to english...
That was a pleasant surprise...
And then i wanted to do a quest ....
"Unable to communicate , returning to title screen"
WTF
Why are the loadings so much worse than the japanese version ?
When i tried the thing in japanese it was a decent game , now it's just broken...

Well, downloading/uploading, then. ^^
The game being installed on the HD, I thought that went without saying, but yeah.

Parody site that pretty much echos how I feel Namco is handling the SoulCalibur IP.
