@TraceurRyuk Part III

I agree 10000000 PERCENT with what you just said. It's art direction at this point maybe even more so then power.

@MRL3G3ND 2001 graphics?????? What system were YOU playing in 01' Nintendo 60-fu*k-no?!

....i didn't like Black Ops...so i skipped it. Which probably explains why I am not feeling ANY fatigue playing MW3. I got it at the midnight launch, and CANNOT WAIT to get back to playing it more. It is everything I wanted from a follow-up to MW2 thus-far and I haven't even touched the single-player. LOVING this game. (Sidenote: i think EA fu*ked up when it put out that horrendouslyhorribletastic beta on Xbox Live for me, i gave it a real shot because i liked Bad Company 2, but, I think overall both games are good in their own ways)

LMFAO AT "call of duty inclusive".......sorry...had to comment on that. Sidenote: MW3 IS BETTER than i expected.....loving it....."kill confirmed" is awesome (yes...i know Crysis 2 people.....i know).

I must admit......this IS looking 'off' in a way. I can't explain it. Not looking good right now Tecmo.

@Hookah You'd know a lot about the misuse of a period ma'am. ;)

@Hookah Are we proofreading internet comments to be cool in 2011 or is that a................you, kind of thing. Girls are cool. Give those a try. Much better then internet comment proofreading.

@Hookah

@TheChezDispenser I can summarize your response in 3 unsaid truths: a) you CLEARLY didn't play Mortal Kombat in 2011 to see the EVOLUTION of what a fighting game single-player mode should do ...........b) you CLEARLY didn't play Soul Blade to understand what a fighting game single-player mode DID and STOPPED doing in this franchise......................c) the mythos of the discovery of the legendary sword was good in Soul Blade, still decent in Soul Calibur...and went completely ASS after that.....but at ONE POINT....the story was good and could have been fleshed out...ala: MK in 2011......

If you do not see the value in a solid single-player experience then you (again) need to go back and play a few GOOD fighting games with GOOD single-player modes to see how they really enhance the entire package.

and no im' not tired of getting my "ass kicked" online.....i've got pretty good win percentages....so this isn't based on NOT liking the multiplayer component....jackass jones.

Can I just put it out there................slowly.....Soul Calibur franchise is being destroyed. Over-designed art direction, silly unrelated characters, poor design choices aesthetically and gameplay wise, lack of a solid coherent single player mode with polish.

Think this way....some of you may be too young to remember Soul Blade and Soul Calibur 1 to realize how far from grace this franchise has become with the 'yoda's and all that......but I used to love the mythos and world and characters of this franchise. Now.......it seems they are turning the whole thing into a big attention-grabbing joke.

Disappointed....Mortal Kombat in 2011 has taught us one thing about franchise titles like this........remember what made you good in the first place and return to it. SC5, is shaping up to be unfortunately a skip for me.
