GIZORAMA - Coming in to the review for the latest edition in the popular fighting franchise Guilty Gear, GUILTY GEAR XX ΛCORE PLUS, I didn’t quite know what to expect. I had heard of the franchise before, but I had never honestly played any of the installments. Growing up, I wasn’t very exposed to the uber Japanese, anime style fighting games like Guilty Gear or BlazBlue. To me, fighting games meant Soul Caliber, or Mortal Kombat, or even Killer Instinct, which are clearly very different in style and tone than Guilty Gear.
So, skeptical and curious as to what I would think, I decided the best approach would be to dive in headfirst. I loaded up the game, found the arcade mode, and shuffled through the surprisingly hilarious cast of characters. I finally decided on a female called A.B.A that reminded me of a zombie, wielded a weapon that can best be described as a Keyblade on steroids, and sounded suspiciously like a man (speaking of voices, one really thing I noticed was the fact that all the voice acting was done in Japanese with English subtitles).
Illiya from Awesome Games writes: 'Fighting games are my addiction – my Achilles heel. And I cannot resist them.
From Street Fighter to Tekken, all the way to Guilty Gear, it simply does not matter: if it involves two characters (or more) kicking the stuffing out of each other, it’s bound to grab my attention.'
Siliconera:
"Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia has been expanding their PlayStation Plus offerings for Japan. The PlayStation 4 lineup is still similar to the West, Dust: An Elysian Tail and Pix the Cat are scheduled for November 5.
The PlayStation 3 games have more of a local flavor. This month, Earth Defense Force 2025 for D3 Publisher, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, and The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky The 3rd will be free for PlayStation Plus members in Japan. Members also get orbs for Destiny of Spirits and can try out Fate/hollow ataraxia."
On the PS+ subject, is there any confirmation of the PS4 titles for Nov?
The Sony tweet didn't mention Steamworld Dig.
Joining a number of other guest-stars in the Sega-operated MOBA game is Guilty Gear’s Sol Badguy.
