Cool, been waiting to use my GoW code.

andrewf914048d ago

Btw, you can use your Vouchers to download the characters ahead of the Store Update tonight. I've already seen players use them online.

andrewf914048d ago

My PSVita is taking a beating with these updates from All-Stars! But I'm glad it's not a 1 GB of update data! Still I'm running out of space.

Big Daddy buff? Awwww yeah :D it's on now! XD

andrewf914048d ago

He gains AP a little quicker and his level 1 is a tad bit more deadly. Still, you need to time his level 1 just right for it to be used properly.

Blastoise4048d ago (Edited 4048d ago )

And his level 2 is sped up. I still think he needs a faster dodge more than anything else, because he's a super easy target. I've tried to dodge supers with big daddy and died, had I been any other character I would have survived.

Still, better than nothing. Glad his level 1 is actually useful now, he's an awesome character in the roster

Good to see a fellow BD user :D

MoXxXi4048d ago

I still love how they went ahead and nerfed Fat Princess, Nathan Drake, Nathan Drake's barrel, etc but Kratos is almost entirely still intact...

andrewf914048d ago

He's not as bad as people make him out to be. Granted some will disagree with me, over the course of the game's release a lot of people have figured out Krato's strategies and have been able to find ways to counter against him.

ExCest4048d ago

True, but he's still annoying and takes extra effort to fight against him.

TheTwelve4047d ago

Kratos sucks in this game, bro. He takes far too little skill to play well...which is his problem. Horrible players are getting way too many wins through him.

People don't use the throw moves a lot online. If they were to then level 3's could be prevented a lot more often. Instead they just build their own meter and forget others might be going for a level 3. Throws need to be used by everyone in a FFA it's risky but it can help change the favor of the fight.

ExCest4048d ago

I hate his homing command grab with a passion.

chrispseuphoria4048d ago

I suggest trying to block more often.

TheTwelve4047d ago

Block more often so that you can be grabbed? Nope, bad strategy.

Blastoise4048d ago

Kratos is an easy fix as well, either...

Reduce the AP gain of his side square attack
reduce the speed of his attacks
reduce the range of his chain square attacks

Do any of them and he'll be balanced, his super's aren't particularly OP

CaptainSheep4048d ago

Agreed. His level 3 is so easy to dodge! But if the player has some skill, it gets a bit challenging.
And I personally really dislike his level 2.

MoXxXi4048d ago

It's an easy fix that they still refuse to actually implement......lol. His level 3 may be easy to dodge but if he gets it 2-3 times a match that can be anywhere from 10-15 kills a match easily

Mookie4048d ago

I eat kratos for lunch with Dante

jon12344048d ago

they nerfed the barrel! thank goodness, people spam the crap out of it, so annoying

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Launched 10 Years Too Early

Though PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale is a bit of a cult classic, it could have been a big hit if it launched in 2022 instead of 2012.

It wouldn't have mattered, Sony would've rushed it out and left it to die. More so now than before with their focus now being on SP narrative driven AAA games.

CrimsonWing69514d ago

Oh, but somehow Smash Bros. 64 made it work?

It just couldn’t compete with Smash Bros. and it wasn’t a free-to-play game like Multiversus.

PapaBop514d ago

I think it released at the right time. It's just after the success of Smash and Multiversus, it's finally time for a sequel.

spoonard514d ago

I'd be all in on a remake or remaster of the original. I enjoyed it because I didn't sit there and compare every aspect to SSB. I just enjoyed it as it was.

Magatsuhi514d ago

Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.

Father__Merrin514d ago

Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it

God of War: Ragnarok Weirdly Makes PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Canon

God of War: Ragnarok has plenty of fun references to PlayStation history, but now fans have discovered a conversation that calls back to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale — the crossover fighting game released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

Nyxus521d ago

I wouldn't say canon. More like an easter egg.

Deathdeliverer520d ago

That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
