Soul Calibur 4

12-08-2008, 14:45

Playing this game quite a bit online Ã¢â‚¬â€œ the only unfortunate thing is that there are a lot of Ã¢â‚¬Ëœsore losersÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ on Xbox live. You beat them and then they give you negative rep, mostly for be unsporting!

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m now finding myself checking my rep score after each fight and being forced to dish back some negative rep pointsÃ¢â‚¬Â¦. what a great online community eh?!?!

Seriously? It's unsporting that you're better at the game than they are?

I seem to remember on the original Xbox that people reckoned you had slightly more mature gamers on Kaid than Xbox Live - I wonder if it still works on the 360.

Had the very same problem when I used to play PES 6 online for 360. After my rep was pulled apart for winning a couple games I decided to not carry on with online gaming on 360. Yes it was probably a bit extreme but that and the constant bitching and moaning were just enough for me to step away from it. I'll stick to online gaming on my PC for now. Yes there are still idiot's but there much easier delt with.

I don't even plug-in the headset anymore (unless its friends) sick to death of the garbage talk from mostly the american xbox users. Language and insults are disgusting most of the time.

Sometimes but mostly the game is also to blame. There is a definite bias towards the Yoda character, he's so small and quick itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s hard for the other player to hit. Kilik is another; he uses a long staff so you can stay out of range of the other opponent while just taking a few swipes at them easily.

I really want to get this. Loved SC on the Dreamcast...

And I see Ivy has, erm, grown

I have heard that Yoda is awful though

I wonder if Vader will come to the 360 version (& Yoda to the PS3 version) via DLC?

The female characters are rather big - top and bottom!!! You also get to smash their armour in fights, leaving rather skimpy underwear and little to the imagination. LOL!

Yoda isn't awful, just takes a bit of time to get used to (I still havenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t) but heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a demon when you string a combo together.

Darth Vader seems to be on the cards for DLC. At the moment the DLC offers original gear from earlier SC games plus the music scores - there's loads of 'em.

Cool.

What's it like using the 360 pad?

**Stephen** · 12-08-2008, 21:57

I want the 360 version for online as I have more friends on my list but would rather have vader than yoda.

I still play SC on my dreamcast a lot!

LOL, that's the same problem I have. I'd have bought it when it came out otherwise.

I can't decide... I want Achievements & XBL, but I also want Vader rather than Yoda.

I think I'll prob. end up getting the 360 version & then just wait/hope that Vader appears via DLC.

I would, if my DC hadn't been skipped (literally

) many years ago.

SC, DOA... great stuff.

ROFL, and that's what I've just done. Amazon... should get it in a couple of days. Have to have some fights with you & Neon!

Using the pad is really good, easy to put together moves and works really well.

Vader should be out sooner rather than later fingers crossed. Soul Calibur 4 really comes into its own when played online - so get the xbox version!

Rumour from the end of July about DV on xbox360 here;-http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/25/ru...ul-calibur-iv/

Why not sell Darth Vader as DLC to Xbox 360 owners? (And presumably, why not pimp out Yoda to PS3 players?)

GamersReports has allegedly obtained another "quality exclusive" in three screenshots that depict Vader as a selectable character in the Xbox 360 version of Soul Calibur IV. To be fair, the report only suggests that Vader would be offered as an "add-on download" and does not specify whether or not that would be paid content or a fan service freebie. The site adds, "No word on when, or even if ever it will be released." Oh the suspense!

**Matt D** · 13-08-2008, 22:13

I hope they do release Vader! (although I bet if they do, it turns out to be some cheeky overpriced unlock code for content already on the disc).

The wife is away this weekend, so I may actually get some decent game time...

I probably pick it up at the end of the month. I have a Ã‚Â£20 amazon voucher to use.

Give you guys plenty of practise lol

I am a master of all fighting games, lol. Tekken, DOA, Sould Blade/Calibur, Mortal Kombat.
