Cameos are something you have to approach with a bit of an open mind. If you are a true fan of the series, then the addition of some outside characters shouldn't ruin the experience for you (unless they control bad or have a really terrible story) and they help draw in fans from other series and other medias. However I must agree that kamas would be really cool.babyblues said:
ya know what is kind of ironic? (I guess that's the right word)
It draws as many people away as it attracts. There's virtually no loss.

Someone from the GH series, just 'cause I would totally buy any game that let me beat the shit out of someone with a guitar.
I actully made Jesus as a character in SCIII, he was a dancer with tamborines, hilarity ensued, especially with the highly suggestive moves the dancer performs.Alphavillain said:
Hmmmm I dunno I'd play as Yahtzee if they put him in there. I know we all would love to beat the crap outta Yoda or Vader with his awesome powers of the critic.
If not that, it would be interesting to see Ethan Thomas, main guy from Condemned, to be in there with a pipe or something.
Failing even that, they could just throw in another Star Wars character or something. They already have three, why not throw in a fourth and make it even? But it has to be Boba Fett.
Now to be serious. I don't feel as though these extra characters are ruining Soul Calibur, but it does strike me as odd for a game with such awesome original characters to be borrowing from another, completely unrelated, universe.

Why do we even bother compling? we all no the in the future that the will one day come a fighting game that will eat S.S.B., snort S.C. and dry swallow M.K. For agurment sake we will call this marvel of softwear "violence", with will consit of ever character ever concived you will be able to enact every pivital battle. Jesus vs.s Sora, Donlad Trump v.s. Carol Chaning. Its only going to be a matter of tiem so we may as well suck it up and smiling at our grim future.
I'd like to see a reduction in breast size. It's bordering on ridiculous with this incarnation. None of those chicks would be able to fight due to chronic back pain from carrying those babies around 24/7.
Put Raiden in there. That would be kinda fun.
And I'm still laughing at the "Gordan Freeman" suggestion. Good call ;D

Did anyone ever see the original Dead or alive, on sega saturn (jap) or psx (us)? They had a bouncing breast mode!!!! Anyone remember that??? And you can turn it on and off LOLshatnershaman said:
Get Dead Rising, it's the first thing that came to my mind. I'm sure there are other games that let you do it but that's all I can think of. I'm sure Condemned 2 and some mods for Condmend 1 (and 2, but I don't know if that is on PC yet) have a Guitar mod somewhere.Lvl 64 Klutz said:
It's not the realism, it's just the COMMON SENSE, the breasts were big enough in the last games, they didn't need to go to GGG size - it's bad enough that they are wearing skimpy outfits with no protection, but that's excusable, but the unproportional body? One more cup size and the people playing the game just won't be able to take it anymore. Men and horny teens like boobs, but we don't want it to be completely tasteless and ridiculous, especially if it makes no God Damn sense! Would you fight with highly-deadly weapons in a bathing suit that can hardly cover your breasts?shatnershaman said:
When has common sense been in games? I attack you then you attack me. My sword can deflect bullets.I have magic powers.Bullets no longer hurt after I hid behind a table.
Man I couldn't have put it better myself. It will be like the upper body heavy sirens in the original Buffy game, one hard kick to the sternum and they snap in half backward.ElArabDeMagnifico said:
These elitist who think that Cameo's are ruining the series can fall into an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator.
I'll admit that tacking Yoda and Darth onto the game is about as extreme as it can get, but it in no way "ruins" anything Adding Link, Heihachi, or Spawn didn't lessen the experience, and if you think about it can cater to both sides of the debate. You like the character? than play as him, awesome! You hate the character? Then it's a fighting game, beat the fucker into the pavement, that also what they are there for. The Soul series was never held up on the upper echelon of the gaming community, but rather was a precious, but quirky gem not that mainstream, but not a failure either.
With that aside, and given the recent but highly improbable rumor that Kratos might make it to the PS3 version, I'd like to see a character from the Tales series make an appearance. It is Namco after all, just the art styles don't match, which would make it damn near impossible. Microsofts list of characters for the game are slim, as characters like MC and Fenix just don't fit into a fighting genre

Well, common sense has been in a lot of games (or at least, enough of it) iirc, I get your point (and I got your point the first time too) - I'm not saying every game should be 100% realistic but it should at least make enough sense, like with Halo and the "shield" business, regen. health is excusable, but in Call of Duty, people bring it up and say it's stupid.shatnershaman said:
It doesn't even make that much sense in Soul Calibers universe though, some things are excusable like the whole "not having to wear armor" since the weapons are magical - but even most of the "heavy male characters" like Nightmare and Sigfried wear a lot of armor, and even though they are ridiculously buff, even Astaroth is realisticly proportioned, he's a friggin giant but it's not like his pecs are bigger than his arms.
Now, when I see soul caliber I don't try to critique it too harshly on common sense, but SC4 is where I draw the line, those funbags are getting ENORMOUS, when I critique a JAPANESE fighting game for crossing the "common sense" line, then something is wrong.
Long story short, whenever I look at a gameplay video of SC4 or a screenshot, I just say "I love soul caliber and I love boobs, but this is just [silly/ridiculous/too much]"
Also, I hate picking Ivy in "public" (like with friends, and also, my PS3 is in the living room) and then people say "you are a perv.
" or hearing a relative say "Jesus Christ why are you playing this?" because her boobs are so enormous - and then forcing me to press, and explain to them how the Japanese are increasing breast size in their already ridiculous games, to appeal to thirteen year olds - and still get criticized. Won't stop me from playing but I'd like it to go away, that's for sure.
At least SC4 is still a fighting game not a "volleyball" game like Dead or Alive Extreme then again there is always SC5 (in the mean time I'll still play SC2 with my forward Y Y Y cheap ass Raphael)
