BlazBlue is probably the best single player fighting game (franchise) in existence. I impulse bought it when I saw it at a local store for 18€ even though I'm not much of a fighting game nut, but I definitely haven't regretted my decision. The story gets a bit to serious for my taste (and I wasn't really able to understand whats going on sometimes), but the gag reels made more than up for that. At times, I was bursting in laughter, and I really love when games get me to do that. The amount of story content is amazing, and even though I have never played a single multiplayer match, I enjoyed the hell out of the game. Well worth it's money. Oh, btw: Is it just me or is Calamity Trigger harder than Continuum Shift (Extend)? I have more of a problem playing through story mode due to my general suckage at fighting games and feel like I had an easier time with CS. Might be thanks to the differences between Vita and DualShock 3 controls, though. Can't wait to buy Chronophantasma, though I think that's digital only in Europe, so I'll have to see when I will get to import it. |
Well, BBCT story mode is harder (I had a lot figths that had to repeat) but bassically BBCS is easier because have better fighting mechanics, BBCT was more technical and harder to learn, to the point that when BBCS released BBCT seemed more like a early beta, then there were some other updates BBCSII (arcades only, via update for consoles) and BBCSExtend (which is more a complete edition with DLCs and the demanded story setting for Makoto, Valkeheim and Trinity, plus Relius Clover and a couple of extra events) with futher improvements on mechanics (actually You can change the System Version on Settings anytime and the compare each character reballancing, changes include the combo missions). The other point that sucked on BBCT was the conditions to get true endings and sometimes to get 100% (You need to loses a every point to get all 100% on each character story, plus some special conditions to get some true endings and even some fun endings, so much that without a guide is almost impossible to get 100% on BBCT story mode, actually i didn't get it all).
About the dense story, yep, is very dense and tangled, specially BBCT which is just a brief of everything on the world, I recomend to watch Teach me, miss litchi gags to get a hold of the universe of the game (these are available on BBCT and BBCS) and understand all the words uniques to this universe... but if You want a brief resume tell me XD
I'm waiting to get my hands on BBCP soon, that and Xblaze Code Embryo too, which is set hundreds years before BB events on the same universe...... BTW Where did You play CS and where are you playing Calamity trigger?
