Sold based on IP alone, kinda sad, while proper fighting games like Guilty Gear strive and Melty blood are kinda over looked.

@4kgk2 But Europeans aren't the only ones that love football, many continents loves it. The champions league is watched almost religiously by many South Americans and Africans.

Guilty Gear strive.
Beat fighting game this year, imo.

@Matroska "SAO as a guilty pleasure but Kirito and Asuna are the two worst characters, the two worst parts of the franchise."

Uhm no, Asuna and Kirito are pretty chill characters imo, but they get hate because they are the main characters and they feel flawless at times.

@Korgon Sadly, It's pretty obvious at this point that the evo cancelation was just Sony not wanting to a risk on something they don't really hold that much value in.

All I know is that final fantasy 13 is the worst.

Persona 5 royal is brilliant, it's been better than final fantasy 7 remake for me.

Thank goodness, will try the demo later.

@johncalmc Nah, I want a Persona 5 arena.

I don't get the Morgana hate, he was basically the MC's sensei imo . Anyway, I am playing royal now and I am liking him more than that big mouth Ryuji.

Plus, Makoto >Ann.

@Juanalf No, there needs to be a Persona 5 fighting game made by Arcsys, then they can rest.

@lukaskus I know that was to ridicule me, but what i have said has facts to back them up,and since this is a site for discussions, i thought it would have been appreciated that i explain my claims in full detail.

@Nexozi Again, your statement kinda tells me that you did not understand Messi's situation at Barcelona, so please go read about it so you can fully understand.

Messi is a cule and will always be one( well, except if he ever joins Real Madrid)

@Nexozi
"They don't care about their clubs though, so why should fans argue over them."

This is wrong,lol, Messi cares about Barca, he has been at Barca from the academy(4 years) up to this year,so about 21 years now as a Barcelona player.
And if you are going to use Messi's PSG move as a sign that he doesn't care about Barca then you are obviously ignorant about why Messi couldn't resign for Barca this year.

Again, i to wonder why the argument is still going on, when it's obvious that Messi is and was always the better player. Different as they might be, they are both forwards with increadible consistency at the hightest level of football, so its more than fair to compare them.

@Nexozi
1. I am not going to deny it, I love watching Messi play football, he is my favourite footballer and sportsman. Hell that barca team of 2010 is what re-ignited my love for football,and i was lucky that the greatest player of all time was playing for that Team.

2. All what i have written can be factually backed up,and even if you don't want to look up stats you can use the eye test. There is a reason why so many Legends of the game, both players and managers,gravitate towards calling Messi the greatest of all time, and if not the greatest of all time, they at least acknowledge that he is better than Ronaldo.

@Flaming_Kaiser Zlatan also scores in every League he has been in, so this point doesn't really mean much.

Again, Roanldo is a great goal scorer, he is even regraded as the perfect complete goal scorer, he can score with his head, left and right leg, and he is good at postining and penalties. In his prime he had blistering pace,a devasting long range shot and free kicks.

But here is the catch, Messi's goal tally isn't that far off Ronaldo's, hell he even has a better goal to game ratio than Roanaldo and more free kick goals.

If Ronaldo is regarded as the complete goal scorer, Messi is often regarded as the complete foward, hence the more complete footballer.

Why is that? becasue Messi's goal tally not only rivals that of Ronaldo, but surpasses him in many areas, a good example of this is that Messi(6) has more golden boots than Ronald(4), which is the award for having the most goals in a season,plus Messi has the 91 goals in a calendar year record in which Ronaldo has never come close to.
Messi is one of if not the best passer of the ball.
Messi is the best ball progresser.
Messi is the better free kick taker(has more than Ronaldo), hell he got better at freekicks as he got older which is contrary to Ronaldo.
Messi is the far better dribbler,hell he may be the best dribbler that has ever played the sport.
Messi is the more creative player by a long mile( has a higher assists , numerous times a leader in big chance created per match in a season, and a great ball progresser)and one of the best play makers the world has ever known.
Messi has more MOTM, ballond'ors, golden boots, fifa best ,trophies and more club records than Ronaldo, while playing less games than Ronaldo.

Ronaldo always had the international trophy argument going for him(winning the Euro's), but since Messi won the Copa,a cup that even the great Maradona failed to win for Argentina and which Argentina hasn't won in 28 years. Messi got the player of the tournament for the copa tournament win, while ronaldo did not get the player of the tournement for his euro win, and had less G/A than Messi.

Messi(2020) is the only footballer to win the Laureus World Sports Award for Sportsman of the Year.

As the great late Johan Cruyff once said about Messi:

"Messi is much more a team player than Cristiano is. He scores but also produces many assists. For me, as a player, Messi is better. There is a big difference in being just a great goalscorer and being the best player.
"This isn't about Cristiano at all. He's a fantastic player, one of the best goal scorers ever. This is about how ridiculously good Messi is."
“Probably, he will win five, six, or seven Ballon D'ors, he’s incomparable, He plays in another league.”

@nessisonett
1. This rating probably takes 2021 stats into concideration, and if that is so then Messi's achievments and G/A in 2021 far surpasses Ronaldo.

2. Using goals as the deciding factor for best player in a year, is not good, especially in a game like football. Thats why G/A, trophy achievements(personal and team based), MOTM and goal coeficents are taken into concideration. Suprise suprise, Messi beats Ronaldo in all this, especially in 2021.

And no, Messi and Ronaldo should not be given the same ratings, they are not equals lol, Messi far surpasses Ronaldo as a football player. There was no debate to begin with it, it was all just media hype.

@nessisonett Are you really going to ignore Messi's Copa America stats and his 2021 Barca stats?

If you look at his 2021 stats you would know why he is far above Ronaldo( the rivalery between the two has always been Media hype,because Ronaldo was never near Messi, in terms of who is the better footballer)

@Stocksy Messi went to the french League because PSG are the only ones who could afford him, and Mancity and Chelsea had already bought players for £100 million and over.

FIFA 22 may be a steamy pile, but lol, those who actually know football would know that Messi deserves the rating, hell he basically has alreay won this years Ballond'or. Messi's 2021 stats for both Barca and Argentina was crazy.

Ronaldos rating is way to high, he isn't even top three best player in the world, scoring tap ins and penalties doesn't get you there. I commend him still going at this age, but facts are facts.

Lewa was increadible last year,but he had Injuries this year. Due to Lewa's underperformance for Poland and his 2021 injuries for Bayern this year, the best player of 2021 has to go to Messi.

All in all, Lewa and Messi are top 2 players, and no EPL fanboys , Ronaldo being in the EPL doesn't mean jack, this the same league in which its second place team(Man utd) lost to 7th placed La Liga team Villarreal.

Lewandowski and Messi in "inferior" leagues are both better then any player in the EPL currently.

@NEStalgia I am also wondering the same thing, hell GTA5 was once free on Epic.

I thought it was great.

Marvel Fangirls will not be happy with this online.

They showed GOW 2, so that was good enough for me.

@Alto200 This, Anime industry is no different from western cartoons industry in terms of how their most popular demographic is young people(18 and under), so of course mature content won't be that predominant, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

@Toypop The only negative with this, is just like with movies, you have to evade story spoilers for some time. For a AAA game like HZD, it will be neigh impossible.

Just another reminder of how bad and boring the final fantasy 13 series was.

Will do. Hope the gameplay will be good.

I don't even want to see anything football related for a while, after hearing the news of Messi leaving Barcelona.

@somnambulance To be fair to the devs, they aren't that many and this is a beta.
But yes, i agree with you that the game is enjoyable, and i to hope the problem is fixed at release.

Well I guess Tales of arise is the only thing I will be interested in. Never played a tales game before, so I hope this one is good.

@strawhatcrew After seeing granblue, I hope it's by Arcsystem.

This guys should just work on Titanfall 3 already.

@Bleachedsmiles I am with you on this.
Can somebody explain to me why we need to pay to play online for playstation, while people on steam don't have to.

@MFTWrecks Cool, I get to play Halo for free on playstation , and with portals.
It is a win-win situation for me.

Should have been the GOAT Messi, but Neymar is alright, he is most likely the second best player in the world right now.

I can't wait. It's free to play, so I won't be wasting money if I don't like the game.
Count me in.

@BAMozzy It looks alright, especially for a free to play PVP game.

Rather this than another battle royal f2p game.

A yes, the first Persona game.
I am betting on a remaster, alongside persona 5 arena.

Wait, Atlus knows that persona 1 and 2 exist?
First the pc port and now this, Sega has come a long way lmao.

Why was Messi, the footballing GOAT never on fortnite?

Guilty Gear strive DLC character?

I am not crying, you're crying.

@Residentsteven Melty blood, Blazblue, Skullgirls, under night in birth and Them fighting herds are all great figthing games, and they all belong to the air dashing fighting game sub genre.

They have all beautifull sprite work and animation. In case of Blazblue, the second last game in its series, called chronophatasma extend, has much more single player content than MK11, its last game, centralfiction, doen't really, but it is still good(if arcsys dubbed it like they did with the other prevouis three games in the series, this game would be perfect)

Skull girls, Blazblue, Them fighting herds and Undernight in birth have great tutorial modes, that explains the game pretty intuitivly, because this games have vey deep gameplay mechanism, more so than MK. All this games also have gatling(light buttons cancel into heaver buttons), so expect long combos and blockstrings.

Melty blood is a game made by the creators of undernight in birth , and is bascically a sequel to the type moon visual novel game Tsukihime. It is getting a new release in three months time, check it out if you like Tsukihime and /or the Fate series to an extent.

All this games that i have mentioned , have been GOATed and included in many people in the fighting game communities, greatest fighting games of all time, because this games are fun to play, their lore are interesting, and the games as a whole does so much right.

I wish this great fighting games would get the spotlight that they deserve, like other classics in other video game genres.

Dammit, where is my Ragna the bloodedge apperication thread?

@Residentsteven
"their story mode is easily the best in any fighting game"

It really isn't personally, MK lacks an interesting and cohesive lore like Blazblue, melty blood,
skullgirls and undernight in birth, and also lacks the ingenuity of implementing gamplay elements correctly into the story mode like Thems fighting herds.

@belmont I agree with you here, one of those example of characters that feel written different is Kotal Khan, they made him a jobber in MK11.

Mileena also doesn't look as hot as she does in MK10(which was literally the point of the character), but ironically for me, I kinda love Kitanas new design in MK11, is that weird?

@Arnna "why do you want sexualised characters? A lot of that stuff is very misogynistic."

This is some warped up logic. Go outside and tell any teenage girl or young adult wearing skimpy clothes, that they are representing misogynistic behaviors.

Don't get me wrong, I have limit to how much I can also take sexualization, for example I like the sexualization in Guilty Gear, but I also think its sister series, Blazblue, kinda goes a bit to hard on the anime sexualization.

Begun, the acquisition wars has...

@Bush Have you played Uncharted: golden abyss on the Vita?

@Bleachedsmiles I am with you on this, except I get ps plus only for the online.
