Let me tell you something: If you're a fan of fighting games, you HAVE to play this game.
If you played previous games before, you notice some changes in Xrd. First, Multi pathed story mode is removed (from what I've seen so far) and for a better understanding of the story, you have to complete arcade mode with all of the characters first and then move on to the story mode. Second, Unlike the previous games (or BlazBlue series), Xrd has 2.5D visuals. Third, Because of changes in story mode system, arcade mode is changed too and you don't have to face Ramlethal (A.K.A. The boss character) for every character. I mean, with some characters (like Slayer), you never get to fight her.
Now for the story... From what I read, the story begins after the events of Guilty Gear 2: Overture (which I never played :( ) and tells the events of.... Well, I better not spoil it here. Also, Xrd has very great surprises for you if you have played GGXXAC+R on Steam. like: Chipp is now a president! and you can unlock several musics from AC+R for matches. (like The Midnight Carnival)
Gameplay is still the same: Fast and hard to master. And everything is still in place: Instant kills, Roman cancels, Dust move, Burst, etc...

Overall, It's a very great game and this port had a way better launch on PC than Lag Kombat X. Sure, It has some problems (that I know will be fixed) but it's playable. Also, some of those problems are fixed now (like the ugly looking HUD) after the 3GB update (large size, don't you agree?).
Okay, let's finish this. You want to have a very good fighting game? Then buy this game AND GET READY TO ROCK!
Oh, and by the way.... Thank you Arc System Works for bringing this great fighting game to PC platform. I'm looking forward to see BBCPE and Xrd Revelator!
