Daft Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Just about to play this over lunch on the PS3 for the first time. I'll give my first impressions when done. I'm quite excited.
Guest Jordan Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Anyone get the Collectors stuff from GAME? Also how do you pull off a critical strike? :P I should have mine tonight. Critical strike: The enemy must have atleast 1 piece of equipment destroyed, then when their soul bar (above their life bar) starts flashing red, get ready. When the bar shatters, the character will be stunned and a red flash will appear on them that'll look like a lightening strike. Hit LB then.

I'll should be adding some of u for a weekend of xbox live goodness if ur up for it!
Gizmo Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Maybe it's just because I suck, but The Apprentice is so insanely overpowered it's unreal. Like, on Arcade stage 7, he is harder than the "boss" guy on stage 8. And the boss is supposed to be the strongest character with the best AI. It's ridiculous.
Daft Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Ok, I've just played it for an hour or so. I like Mitsurugi's move set, so I can stop worrying about that. The feel closer to 3 than to 2 or 1 so I'm not too pleased, but I'll get used to it. I love Vader. I love Astaroth but I hate his first costume. I hate the right stick on the PS3 being so close to the buttons. And I still rule because no one could beat me. I'll pick it up but I'm not going to rush I don't think.
McPhee Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 WOT?!!! That sucks big time.... What's my second character Maxi like then?! Wickedly awesome. He's my main character again, just stupidly, stupidly fast and flashy : peace:
flameboy Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Wickedly awesome. He's my main character again, just stupidly, stupidly fast and flashy : peace: thats what I used to love with him how fast he was...
McPhee Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 My 360 just died! And guess what? It took SCIV with it! YAYNESS! Was so pissed off i through my 360 controller across the room, it hit my PC monitor, put a dent in the screen and the 360 controller died. All in all a good £200 worth of damage. Oh joy! I think i'll just give up on gaming, the Wii is dull, the 360 is an unreliable piece of junk and i'm really not all that fussed by the PS3 right now. PC gaming is still great, but i only really play online and my net connection has gone to shit (along with the dent in the monitor and the lack of a headset due to 360 controller die-age) Gonna go pop some perscription strength pills for this damned headache i've had for the past 3 days and go to bed i think....
Daft Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Unlucky Phee. *Hugs PS3* What do you mean it took SCIV with it? Is the disk scratched?
McPhee Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 The disk looks like a baby's been teething on it Not sure if the disk actually is broken tbh, it might just be the drive thats nackered Thinking about it i might just get a replacement 360 from Microsoft, sell up and buy a new TV + PS3. For the amount i use the 360 for i doubt it'll make a huge amount of difference which console i own.
Daft Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Youch... You going to be able to send it back to Microsoft or do they only accept RRODs after a year?
Jimbob Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I'm getting really annoyed with the Apprentice character, gives you hardly any chances. Still enjoying the game though, currently working through story mode.
KKOB Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Got the game today, just couldn't resist getting my housemates addicted to a game where i could kick their arse . . . however they ended up humiliating me in the first couple of matches since they've totally nerfed Talim, my favorite character from SC II on the GC. Anyone up for some fibre optic PSN play add me to your PSN friends list - Takeo73 :P Finding the boss guy fucking solid with Ivy. Apprentice went down in straight rounds though. GAH!
McPhee Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 I found The Apprentice to be a piece of piss, really can't see why people are struggling with him The only character i don't like fighting is Lizardman, he's just bloody annoying! Youch... You going to be able to send it back to Microsoft or do they only accept RRODs after a year? They only accept RRODs after a year, everything else is £70. There are ways and means to force an RROD though, which is what i'll be doing when i get home tonight

The only think that I didn't want to break and it had to be the fucking PS3.

The only think that I didn't want to break and it had to be the fucking PS3. Nooooooooo Sorry to hear that matey! Says the guy with a Street Fighter avatar Us fighting game newbies are allowed to struggle Just blast the crap out of him with an unrelenting assault. Forget blocking, parrying etc and attack, attack attack! Worked for me anyways, got a perfect the first round and beat him with 3/4 health the second one. Oh and btw, i suck at Street Fighter. Not played it since SFII, SFII: Turbo and Super Street Fighter II on the SNES! It's been a good 10 years! I blame Nintendo for not having SF games on their consoles after that :p
Roostophe Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Got the game just now. My brother's having a bash on it at the mo. First impression is that it looks good. Graphics are probably the best I've seen in a SC game (Unsurprisingly.) However, I really do not like the Star Wars level one bit. Call me a purist, but I really do not like having the flippin' Death Star stood in the background while Ivy's bosom wobbles about on the stage like a terrified civilian of Alderaan, who's just seen the Death Star's death-ray thing pointing towards the planet!

khilafah Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 I'm in the exact same boat. Has there actually been a decent Streetfighter game since then? Street Fighter Alpha series and Street Fighter III: Third Strike are superb games.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Street Fighter Alpha series and Street Fighter III: Third Strike are superb games. I could never get into Street Fighter III I do love the Alpha series though, easily the best for me. I tried playing this online today and got the snot beat out of me! I then found a guy who had 35 losses and no wins so I decided to take out my frustration on him and make it 36

Whenever i try quick match it never connects with anyone..
Hero-of-Time Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 are you creating your own match? Whenever i try quick match it never connects with anyone.. Yeah, I was having the same problem so I just created my own. I played a hefty amount of player matches with my mate today, so much fun and everything runs so smoothly.
Daft Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Nooooooooo Sorry to hear that matey! It's annoying but Sony are sending a new one on Thursday so it isn't that bad. The problem is I have that gnawing wondering in my mind about it happening again. I think I'm jinxed though. Like Mr Burns, electronics just break to prolonged exposure to me. *typed on a MacBook with three massive cracks knifing across the screen.*
