OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!! :D

I can't stop loving this news article so much! We're gonna get BlazBlue! <333

Rejoice with me, people!

 

[SuSa]

I still need to get the system to play the game.
lawl

 

[:mad:]

So I take it you'll be quitting Brawl.

;____;

Such a sad day.

 

[Red Arremer]

I didn't say I'll quit Brawl. XD

 

[Tarmogoyf]

I still need to get the system to play the game.

I also fail at having 400$ laying around for a PS3/360 and BB.

Good thing is good though. I don't know why it wouldn't have gone there in the first place.

 

[:mad:]

I don't plan on buying it because I don't like fighting games.

... or RPGs.

or any game, really.

 

[mountain_tiger]

If I had the console that Blazblue would be on I'd buy it in a heartbeat. But I don't.

Oh, and Spadefox, what's up with that link? It's screwing about with my laptop, seriously.

 

[Red Arremer]

It's just Kotaku.

Now that BlazBlue is gonna be in Yuurop, I shall purchase a 360 soon. :D

 

[Jim Morrison]

Spade, I'm honestly happy for you. I know you wanted this a lot.

Also, I miss capital F

 

[Sosuke]

I didn't want Spadefox to be happy

Spoiler

Jk. Yay. =)

 

[Falconv1.0]

I'd be happy but...

wtf is this Europe exclusive characters bull****.

 

[Red Arremer]

Haha, the capital F was never there, people just saw it for whatever reason. :V

;D

wtf is this Europe exclusive characters bull****.

Almost every good game gets released here in Europe a good 2-3 months after USA and Japan gets it. Cut us some slack.

 

[Falconv1.0]

This is going to get ****ed over with stuff at big tournaments like Evo. Because you know, competitive European tournaments aren't exactly HUUUUUUUGE. So they'll just end up banned anyways til the devs stop being stupid. Have fun with some characters that cant be used in serious play.

>_>

Edit-Mountain Tiger...do you get why I'm angry like...at all? They are essentially making characters worthless because they are locked to a region.

 

[Red Arremer]

lol, I know that those (not yet confirmed!) region-exclusive characters won't be allowed in international tournaments.
I don't even know how they'd actually handle it without making them available to other regions, since online play and whatnot.

I thought you were angry because you wouldn't be able to play them. I guess not... How big is the competitive scene of BlazBlue, exactly? Just curious...

It's taking off pretty well, it's almost definitely going to be at Evo next year. And lol I'm just gonna play Arakune til someone else impresses me, it's not just that it's something I cant play, but that it's something that wont be able to be used in tournaments when it totally should assuming it's not some kind of 'joke character'. It's a game created for competitive play yet they are wasting time on stuff that cant be used in competitive play til like an update/sequel comes out. Not cool. =/

 

[Red Arremer]

As said, I don't know how they'd make region-exclusive characters (if there are some at all) since there's online play. =/
So either they'll have the other regions able to download their data in an update or... I dunno.

 

[Jim Morrison]

I'm missing a capital F, it should be a capital F.

Almost every good game gets released here in Europe a good 2-3 months after USA and Japan gets it. Cut us some slack.

There's also a difference between inconvenience (getting the game late), and having an overall advantage (getting content that no one else gets).

I've yet to even look much into BlazBlue, much less play it, but it always irks me on principle when there are more than one versions of something and one version gets less content.

I respect, and am even very irked about how Europe gets treated with games. Sadly, it's not even like the US gets it as good as Japan either, as there are many games that never get released here (especially when it comes to older games -- either the Dreamcast or the Saturn, I forget which, got MANY Japan-only games), which even goes to show how much worse Europe has to get it.

But I don't support exclusive content to Europe, the US, Japan, or anyone. They just need to get off their lazy butts and try and release the NTSC-J, NTSC-U, and PAL versions of a game at the same time.

 

[Man of Popsicle]

They could be not Europe DLC.

 

[Red Arremer]

either the Dreamcast or the Saturn, I forget which, got MANY Japan-only games

Both. Saturn FAR more than Dreamcast though.

Also, just found this as comment on the link I posted:

I would be angry, but you Europeans get so ****ed over on a consistent basis that it's hard to be too upset.

 

[Deleted member]

That's great! No need to import.

 

[arch knight]

Congratz on your new found happiness Spadefox :D

Any character spark your interest yet

 

[Red Arremer]

Rachel and Litchi.

 

[arch knight]

Oo both are great characters if you learn how to use the wind with Rachel and Litchis cheap staff

 

[IxxI]

Glad you're happy.

 

[Firus]

Yeah, then it was the Saturn I was thinking about.

Those two always run together in my head a little bit.

 

[Darkslash]

Its going to be a slap in the face of Kokonoe isn't playable. She's currently a NPC favorite, and it would be a shame if she wasn't in the final build. I mean Taokaka is pretty good, but you can't go wrong with 2 cat girls.

Especially since the two are similar...there's just a thin line between genius...and Tao. :/

Another one would have to be Jubei, Hazama and Valkenhayn. Seriously even Valkenhayn looks down on Ragna, imagine his power ingame.


For you happiness I give you Taokaka

P.S Nine is---*is shot*


P.S In the long run people tell me the PS3 is better for Blazblue than the 360, I heard that the price differences in Europe between the Wii and Ps3 are almost zilch. Go ask the Blazblue thread on what system to get it for.

As for me? I'm getting it on the Ps3, when I get the ****ed system.

 

[Red Arremer]

I heard that the price differences in Europe between the Wii and Ps3 are almost zilch.

That's a lie.

The Wii costs 250€ (around 350$), the PS3 costs 300-400€ (around 500-600$, depending on the HD).
Furthermore, games are more expensive here than in the US, since in the US they cost ~50$, while in Europe, they cost 50-60€ (70-85$).

Yeah, then it was the Saturn I was thinking about.

Those two always run together in my head a little bit.

No wonder, both consoles have had a similar fate, just the Saturn even more so than the Dreamcast.

 

[Lythium]

Looks like someone lost to a Litchi player... You have nothing to be angry about until you've played online with D-spamming v-13.

There's speculation that the new European characters may be DLC for North America later.

 

[Red Arremer]

Litchi isn't even that good, haha.

 

[Lythium]

No, she's really not. She's very mediocre in all regards. HP, damage, etc. Lack of anti-air. I mean, Ragna is mediocre, but at least he makes up for his weaknesses.

I've play a N-13 Its annoying....

But by far the one i hate most is a good Haku-men That can 13 hit combo KO you....

I resent that post Ragna is a beast. (Tager Ftw though :D)

 

[Lythium]

Annoying is the right word, indeed. Nu is very much that.

I just don't like Hakumen. Especially airdashing C-spamming Hakumen.

I resent that post Ragna is a beast. (Tager Ftw though :D)

Pfft, if you read my post, you would see that I said Ragna is mediocre but he makes up for it. And he does. Middle of the tier list suggests mediocrity.

And Tager deals real Soviet damage.

 

[nevershootme]

the european exclusive stuff is gonna be on the disc itself while americans will pay as DLC... and who knows if there's gonna be major content changes to the game

 

[Heartz♥]

Awesome. Now ceases the nerdrage. lol

 

[Red Arremer]

Well, we still get screwed over in the majority of the time, but at least Arcsys knows how to make up.

Arcsys is the battle engine or system in Guilty Gear, right?

 

[Red Arremer]

Arcsys are the Western developers for Guilty Gear and BlazBlue.
