    And word is the game is pretty bad, so the trashy fan service is pretty much all it has going for it.

    Really?

    Pity, the concept sounded interesting

    They published BlazBlue and Shikigami 3 in the US, so I have a hard time thinking bad of them.

    But every so often they push the envelope.


    Then again, they often do stuff like this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RESZG2OqF-o

    I did see a bunch of people that had downloaded BlazBlue: Continuum Shift on another forum a couple of days ago, which it would make sense that that video is a response to. There'd probably be less people doing it if there was any other way to get the game.

    Yes because doing the same 3 combos over and over again to a bunch of enemies that mostly just stand in place like retards waiting to be killed truly is the definition of fun.

    It's kinda funny that the "anime pillow" in that video seems to be the same one they're handing out for the fanservice edition of their game.

    Bladestorm, which is pretty damn sweet.

    Also I hope to god that Fist of the North Star isn't a DW clone. The potential is too great to be wasted on that tired garbage.
    You're hoping in vain, it's already confirmed to be a DW clone.

    True, but adding several new fighters to the roster is one of the game's big selling points, correct? It seems like a wasted chance to not show a couple more.

    Just a nitpick, I still like the cover.

    There's something that doesn't quite sit right with me regarding the UFC box art. I think it's just really deep in uncanny valley.

    No one from Mean Girls is dead.

    Also, Stalker wouldn't technically be shovelware, nor Calling. I saw the Quick Look on Giant Bomb. Looks to be hilariously cheesy.

    It's not a terrible UFC cover. I'm not a fan but I'd think UFC fans would like that cover.

    They also covered the goofy tattoo Brock Lesnar got on his chest.

    Hey, HCTP was the last good Smackdown game and Lesnar was fantastic during his WWE run. He was so good in fact that the WWE rushed Orton to the championship just so they could claim he was the youngest champion ever, and the WWE could ignore Lesnar forever.

    I mean, he was a hoss who could move. But enough wrestle talk!
