I know, It's just that this was suppose to be "the year" SC5 failed in gameplay but delivered in creation and now DOA is going to rock in gameplay (I luv the demo) But not even as little as color customization, I have too look like every one elseeeee... :(

That shows his priorities.
One my friends took SCV back because he said it got way too casual and he did NOT like that guard impact got put on meter at all... lol this is coming from someone who holds Soul Calibur as his main fighter and is pretty badass with Xianghua. Also he doesn't like Critical Edge and prefers Critical Finish. So, it doesn't surprise me when people don't like 5 compared to 4.

So it got way too casual for him, but he complained about all of the hardcore aspects and sold the game as a result?

You need to smack your friend upside the head.

SCV got too casual because it made players not want to burn meter by throwing out random Guard Impacts, okay... Sounds like it got less casual but that's me. That also sounds like what we would like to happen to DOA, not necessarily implement a meter, but make it so you can't just mash counters. If we have to toss some scrubs aside to get a better game then I'm all for it.

Well, I don't know all the details, but that's what he said :/
He was always talking about he loved how he could decide how to finish someone at low health, flashing soul gauge and and near an edge for a ring-out. He didn't like how SCV turned into a combo fest either. I don't know, it's funny too cause I bought the game to play with him and a few other of my friends, but meh I'm gonna take it to Gamestop or something and get some money back cause other than the customization, I don't play it much.

Combo fest? What the f.....

All of the things he loved there, you can still do. If a person is about to be guard broken you can pressure them with fear into any number of traps. Sigh... people will say anything so they don't have to confront their own deficiencies. I am all but certain of this now. He was literally complaining that he didn't have an easy win option, by saying that the game was too easy.

Yea, pretty much. I've confronted people over this before and it never ends well. At the end of the day when you back a person into a corner they are far more likely to lash out at you than confront their own personal insecurities.

Ah, gaming.

I love how someone's complaining about SCV being "casual" when most of 8WR agrees it's the most hardcore, tournament focused Soul Calibur yet. V is the "3rd Strike" of the series, the one that changes things up all for the the core.

Don't see why anyone would be dissapointed with 6 costumes, everything in this game has to be made from scratch or close to it because of new models and engine. 6 costumes for each character is a whole lot of new material. Expect DLC-costumes also.

You play fighting games for all the wrong reasons...SCV mechanics are fine, its a solid fighter.

Now go play with barbie dolls or something as clearly that would suite you better.

I think SCV is a step back in terms of mechanics compared to the games before it. The gauge system is fine, but I don't like the change from GI to just guard at all. Also in every soul calibur game they tend to nerf low attacks, so in this one they can't be used well for mixups at all since even if you hit you are forced to block, more so now that GI costs meter to perform.

So how exactly does this go along with this.

http://andriasang.com/con0vj/doa5_bounce_transparency/

Yep, transparency and costume specific boob bounce.

I guess that the latter though can be considered as "toning down the sexy" from a certain perspective. However, realistic bounce based on what they're wearing might actually be sexier.

As for SCV, I'd say my opinions but everyone'll just probably accuse me of being a biased 3rd Strike fan.

The "costume specific boob bounce" seems like a very poor translation of the "costume specific features" comment that's made here on the NowGamer interview and TN's Twitter.

Thanx for being a genuine asshole! Now do me a favor and go fuck yourself! And PS @ awesomic "That shows his priorities." lol it's a fucken game, what priorities you nerdy little dumb fuck ?

And yes SCV failed big time, you know you faggots gave me so much shit for wanting customization, people have a right to want they want.

People like you (nerdy douche bags) only ruin the community for everyone else! Get over yourself already.

And SCV is "ok" But it's not SC4, I would explain it to you, but again you nerdy shit heads are only here to push your opinions on everyone while shitting on the rest! It's exhausting trying to talk to online trolls....
