Get it, its pretty fun. Its one of the better games out at the moment.

Here is a thread from a competetive SCIV site that contains the patch notes

I downloaded the demo and was not impressed, never played soulcalibur but it was boring, repetetive and quite possibley the worse fighting game I have ever played. The controls are retarded, after using the same three moves for five minutes I gave up.

Or maybe you just suck at the game?

It is funny, SC, generally considered one of the better fighting games gameplay-wise, yet the controls suck?

You basicly described every other fighting game I have played besides Smash Bros and Calibur series imo.

The game in general sucks.

Why?

He played the demo, and he only used three moves.

His opinion on the matter is worth less than shit.

I was getting to that, but I was going to do it in a trolling manner.

But that is all ruined because of you.

It's about as fun as watching paint dry, thats why.

Yeah, I find Madden to be boring as hell too.

I suck at Madden.

Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you limited yourself to three moves and only played the demo now does it?

And yeah, Madden is ghey.

The original NFL Blitz for N64 was awesome though.

yea, go ahead and get it. you won't regret getting it if you really like fighting games.

imo, right now it's the best fighting game on the planet. it's better than tekken. it not only has the best graphics of any fighting game to ever come out, it has the best graphics of any game that's ever come out including crysis. (with crysis @ no. 2, of course) -crysis has the physics though-

the game's a blast playing with friends and when it's played right and the single player mode(s) = fun. they're very challenging and rewarding. at times the computer can get rediculous but you figure them out. character creation is one of the highlights, I thought. and I never even got into modes like that in games before. never wanted too until I played sc4

the soudtrack's amazing too. (i can't get that tropical island shipwreck song outta my head) -maybe cause it's my fav stage- and the song on that ice/snow stage is just beautifully erie and cold no pun intended. it sounds like a winter/warrior type of epic song.

I heard the game on live is just as great.

bottomline, you cannot get a better fighting game, not now and not for a while. it's got the market cornered on greatness. but these are my sentiments.

I give it a 9/10. the announcer's not as engaed as in it's prequels (he doesn't even say their names anymore)

so yea go get it, man. you're gonna like it a lot.

Competition will start to brew up between Soul Calibur IV and MK vs. DC when it comes out.

Nah. Crysis is on another level graphically, there's no comparison at all.

Fun game though.

No it won't, MK vs. DC's game mechanics, if they follow MK mechanics, will suck.
