it seems to me that super bot know what they are doing with this.can't wait till November

[showtimefolks]

While from what I understand this game Is good but if it's haing issues I hope Sony allows to time, instead of a good game if we can get a great game in 6 months than I don't mind waiting

[SandwichHammock]

Its coming to Playstation 3 AND Playstation 3?! Damn. Now if only we could get it on Playstation 3, that would be stellar.

[Blastoise]

It's on Vita too. So it is techically a multiplatform, but still a Sony exclusive

[Snookies12]

Lol, didn't even notice that at first. You sir get a bubble from me. :D

[Silly gameAr]

It's a shame that no one checks the submissions before they approve an article anymore.

[Irishguy95]

Anymore? I don't recall them ever being checked...

:/

[hill71]

they are a bit small on the vita

[vickers500]

This was one issue for me when I played the beta. At first I thought it was just me though.

[Omar91]

where the hell are the new characters!!!??

[Saturne3]

Being thrown into the DLC wagon i suppose.

Seems to be an issue with people I bring in to play the game. I let them play and they are constantly saying "where am I?"

Also you see it online too. A player will randomly start walking into a wall, or be swinging at nothing, then realize they are not in the battle. Normally happens when multiple people are the same character.

My personal only complaint so far is people already know how to abuse the helghast character. Run to far end of map, shoot across, anyone comes close melee them, then go back and keep shooting. Keep seeing it and its annoying.

Sounds like people are using Colonel Radec in a camping way XD Damn, even in a non-fps game, people still camp!

[Soldierone]

First thing I thought too. How the hell does camping make its way into a fighting game lol

I tried everything to get around these guys. Jump over them etc...they have a counter move for everything and somehow when all 3 people attack them, it just boosts their power bar and they still survive....

I think it would help if there were edges to the maps, because I can push them backwards. i'd just keep knocking them off the map.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

Well in fighting games you call that turtling. I hate it with a passion. lol

[mttrackmaster38]

It's actually really easy to counter Radec. He completely sucks at meleeing so if you're not able to overwhelm him, then you need to practice more. Kratos is especially good for whipping helghast ass.

[Soldierone]

He has the one shot move where he hits you then shoots you and it sends your character flying away. If the person is on the opposing side of the map they can watch you coming over and time the move right.

Kratos is good at it, but I don't want to be him constantly and this seems to happen when no one is Kratos.

If we overwhelm the person, then their special meter builds faster and they get their power 3 move. I've seen someone camping get a power 3 2 times in one match...

[r21]

Cant personally understand exactly but I've seen videos of the Radec camping. Its a pretty cheap tactic. I'd understand more if i were in the beta ;D

[Caffo01]

it really isn't camping, radec is designed to be used that way, i personally use Sweet tooth and sly(when he was in the beta) but i played a little with radec and i can understand ppl playing that way, it MUST be played that way, simple as that.

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

What the FRICK are people talking about?!? It's so easy to keep track of your character...

[smashcrashbash]

I really don't see what the big deal is. Radec is a long range character no different then any other long range character in any other fighting game. Once you get close to him he can barely fight back. He can't target everyone all the time and once you get close it's not like he has tons of melee moves to stop you.I have watched plenty of matches when Parappa and other melee characters easily get close to Radec and take him out.Many games have had characters with projectiles and long range powers and people always find a way around it.

[Gamerita]

unresponsive gameplay,i dont like how this game plays.

[StoneyYoshi]

I have always had the issue like this on every smash bros game when everyone is clustered together or if you are one of 3 links.

[CShadow]

At first it was confusing finding my character. I love it for the constant action. Not everyone is Japanese guys. They have games that train your eyes Ikaruga or whatever its called is one.
