Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN- Review - IGN

Shredding guitars, spiky hair, pirate girls riding flying dolphins, and a posterior-poking surgeon in a paper bag mask can mean only one thing: Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- is finally here. With Xrd (pronounced “Ex Ard”, and your guess is as good as mine), Guilty Gear takes a cue from Street Fighter 4 and Killer Instinct in pulling the series closer to its roots, and its incredibly unique characters and rich combat will test fight fan’s abilities in incredibly rewarding ways

I read and watched a bunch of reviews, not a single one of the reviewers gave it less than an 8, it has multiple 9's too.
As a fighting games fan, this is without a doubt the best game currently on the Ps4 .

Oh and about maximilian's tweet when he said that GG xrd's netcode is as bad as Injustice is completely false .

Don't say that shit, I don't want to spend another 60 bucks.

9 on Metacritic, highest rated exclusive in 2014

it's rare to see maximillian saying something that is not positive about a fighting game. The guy's like a marketing tool for publishers.

But I'm not sure if it's the netcode that is bad but the configuration that it is a bit complex compared to other fighting games. For example, at the beginning the game asks you on what region you want to play: USA1, USA2, Europe1, and Asia1. Then after you select one region it asks you for a more specific area like a state and stuff. I don't like it because it makes everything feel very segmented/disjointed.

Another thing is that the PS3 version it's full of jaggies and the frame-rate sometimes dips. There's an option to downgrade the graphics to optimize for speed but if you want both: best frame-rate, best graphics then PS4 it's the only way.

I think he might meant for how some of the settings are made, and since the game has cross-platform play, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the lags comes from the PS3 network, but I can be mistaken, and I saw that Maximillian keeps saying it's a niche game, like who gives a rat, the more they say it's a niche game, the less interest people will find it, so some of these dudes should either recommend it or not, do not make things more complicated for a game with a very talented development team, and the best use of Unreal Engine I've seen so far. I highly recommend it to those interested.

Holy heck. Great reviews for this one.

PS4 getting some great exclusives starting holiday going all the way to the next holiday. Loadout also out too. How to divide the hours…. :/

[SoapShoes]

Yeah and people said PS4 had a weak line up this holiday. ROFL

Only thing is is this game is NOWHERE to be found. My gamestops only had one additional copy on top of a few reserved copies. Best Buy, Walmart, and Target did not have it. Heck Walmart and Target didn't even have it on their website. The game just came out today and already completely unavailable on Best Buy's website. Wth?!

[xwilldemise]

Possibly PS4's best exclusive this holiday yet no hype at all?!?! Wth?
Loved the demo unfortunately it's sold out around my area, I shall take a trip downtown to the city I live in & check again 2mm!

Get used to it friend, in this day and age the casual gamers opinions are overshadowing the core gamers opinion .

So games like this will slip under the rug very often .
