What were they then? False starts? =P |
All of those make actual sense on some level or another, or at least drastically more sense than STAR WARS characters in Soul Caliber.
If Soul Caliber didn't have a very distinct story, it might not have been an issue, but it DOES have a story which has always been followed throughout the games.
It's been my experience that crossovers are typically the end of the line for a series, when the sales have fallen to the point where throwing the storyline out the window doesn't even matter. This pangs of exactly that.
Honestly, Batman vs. Godzilla makes more sense than this as they both involve Earth. The SC universe is one filled with medieval fantasy and magic. The Star Wars universe is filled with advanced technology and intergalactic warfare, hence the name "STAR Wars". The two mix together about as well as milk and pickle juice.
I'm glad I wasn't a SC fan, otherwise I'd have been absolutely pissed about this. As it stands, I can just laugh at it and move on.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
