Re: SoulCalibur VI Season 2 Begins Next Week With Huge Free Update and DLC Character Hilde

They've added the extra CaS parts from season 1 at this point right? I dropped SC6 pretty quick after realizing that the CaS was a downgrade from the one in SC5 in terms of how many parts there were but if it's gotten better since then it might be worth checking. Did they confirm if the Season 2 DLC would include any extra CaS parts aside from whatever minor stuff that comes with the characters themselves?

Tsk, tsk Atlus. As good as their games are it's a shame they're up there as one of the most DLC crazed companies there are. I don't think super bosses should ever be DLC by itself unless they come together with a substantial new dungeon or something. And I'd say it's even worse here since the game is already an enchanced version, forcing you to buy a whole new game and you can't simply update the old game with the new content.

I found the new Tekken to be a massive disappointment, Soul Calibur a bit too but not quite as much. The super moves completely ruin the Tekken gameplay for me.

King of Fighters 14 is my personal favorite PS4 fighting game.

Re: Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection - Old School Konami Kicks

As a big Castlevania fan I've been waiting for an opportunity to try out Haunted Castle...

And honestly I didn't think it was nearly as bad as people have made it out to be. The first runthrough was kinda painful but after doing that and watching a good no-damage playthrough I can go through the game on normal difficulty without too much hassle and in the end I had quite a bit of fun with it, my ears in particular enjoyed it, seriously that soundtrack is gold.

Also got enjoyment out of Gradius 1, 2 and Life Force and whatever the last game of the collection was called.

The oldest shooter in the collection, Twinbee, and the pretend 3Dish shooter I didn't really care about.

I hope Konami keeps up with these collections, they may not be able to make new games anymore but if they make their old stuff readily available like this then they do have my respect and money (Suikoden collection, make it happen, oh and Vandal Hearts too!). Really looking forward to the Castlevania collection as well.

Re: SoulCalibur VI - The Best Since SoulCalibur II

I got the game yesterday and personally so far I'm unimpressed, the character customization just feels more limited and barebones compared to the one in SC5. Libra of Souls is dull as hell with endless streams of text that doesn't really seem to amount to much of anything. Haven't tried the other story mode yet, but the two things I was most excited for with the game were both strikes for me unfortunately.

Re: Kingdom Hearts III's PS4 Box Art Is Fit for a King

It does look quite nice, don't have much interest in the game though. I've found every single KH after the first one average to straight out bad, also Nomura storytelling & dialogue just doesn't do it for me.

Will be listening to the soundtrack though definitely.

@Gremio108
I mean I've played it through once before, with the sole exception of Tactics I've played all of the entries in the series. I didn't get all the characters in 4 though so I guess that would be a good enough excuse to return to it, though I just felt like playing it for some reason and I played it for 4 hours straight today until I got to the deserted island and so far I'm having fun. I forgot how satisfying it was to see Snowe getting punched in the face twice.

My biggest cripes are the fact that you only get to control 4 party members at once (as opposed to 6 like in most of the series) and the bizarrely barren areas. The story and villains in particular are also a bit on the bland side.
