I am so in love with Sophitia.

SoulCalibur I (1998): The Legend Will Never Die (it's about memorable characters)
SoulCalibur VI (2018): The Legend Will Never Buy (it's about buyable characters)

so i lost my controller when i was moving out of my old home. i wanted to use this game with keyboard instead...but good luck. the menus does not show keyboard buttons and the layout is confusing.

My friend installed malware killswitch to turn off my PC when ever I'm winning

good

I just wish we had SC 5 Cervantes. That's just me, though. Just trying to combo some poor doode into the ground.

love this game

While I don't recommend this game, I don't think it's a bad game.

I am choosing to not recommend it more because it is clear that Namco has given up on it, and they really shouldn't have. I think if they actually tried to make this game capture what people liked about Soul Calibur 2 and 3 so much, it would have fared far better.

The guest character stuff has always been kinda screwy to me. I liked Link in Soul Calibur 2, but ever since, their guest choices have been kinda disappointing. Star Wars characters were weird, but Assassin's Creed was appreciated; however, I could think of better choices in this game than Witcher and Neir. Final Fantasy for instance - that would be extremely fitting for this franchise. I don't know. Maybe Square Enix is too difficult to work with. They managed to get Neir, so I don't know.

It is in this respect where I think Soul Calibur 3 got it right. While many bash it for the bugs it had on its release (one of which being a devastating PS2 memory card corrupter), I think at its core, SC3 just went bananas with what this series could do gameplay-wise. Tales of Souls, Chronicles of the Sword, all the weird mini-games, and most notable - no guest characters (at least not from other game franchises). It was focused on just letting Soul Calibur (and Soul Edge) shine. It is remarkable to me that Namco STILL has not rereleased SC3 outside of arcades and the PS2. The game is near 20 years old. Get that game off the PS2!

SC6 is an attempt at bringing the series back to its roots, and I would say, well, it kinda failed. While the character creator is nice and much more fleshed out than where it all started in SC3, there is little reason to actually play this game outside of just making a new character. Hell, really, just looking at other players' creations is more worth it than actually playing it.

And again, it's not a bad game. It works. It can be fun to fight other characters, but it doesn't really offer any gameplay experiences that you haven't already gotten from other SC games (and it doesn't help that they keep changing what inputs are required to do the same moves from game-to-game. Stop that!) I would have loved to see a return of Chronicles of the Sword mode, but made better. Here in SC6, they have this really half-assed RPG mode that is very much a one-and-done kinda mode. Kinda disrespectful to what made Chronicles of the Sword stand out in the first place. It was Fire Emblem meets Soul Calibur. C'mon!

At this point, it's a glorified fighting game character creator more than anything else. I can only recommend it if you are looking to just get reminded of what Soul Calibur use to be like. Other than that, skip it and hope to God that Namco actually reboots this series the right way one day and gets SC3 off the damn PS2!

Oh and don't nickle and dime customers for soundtracks - that's a good idea too. If there is one thing that is underrated about this series, it's the music. The composer has made some real bangers in the past, but Namco thinks it's wise to make you pay extra for them. Discouraging for newcomers to the franchise, and disappointing to veterans. Stop that crap.

10/10 game very fun to scream at with friends

Great game! They should make another one!
