Soul Calibur 4

BTW, anyone worried about hoarding money, there's an AI exploit on floor 60 of ToLS that gets you 12500g every minute or so.

Getting to 60 can be tricky though. I recommend Astaroth.

Also, I've gotten all sorts of rings, gems, and other special equipment, but none of it seems to make my hands and weapon glow. I've seen people online with that effect, and Korly (who decided to withhold the information), but I'm not sure what causes it.

The glowing hands are from the uber lightsaber, not the ring/gem/whatever.

The best part about Apprentice is beating the snot out of some noob who thought he was going to beat you just by taking him.

I'm one achievement from the 30 achievement point so at that point you get all hte items you can get via achievements right?

[RedCoKid]

Yeah, I think so. Congrats btw! I hit 20 last night; I kinda doubt I'll be able to reach 30.

[Thief Silver]

Eh they're not hard. The last one is either going to be 200 impacts, 20 just impacts, or the distance one. Or I may save up and buy all the gallery images.

I'm extremely horrified to hear create-a-character is this popular.

Probably because it's the deepest part of the game

I'm extremely horrified to think of how many posts you've made opinionating about games you seem to have no actual interest towards.

So, Yeller, what's wrong with creating characters? It's fun and can actually alter gameplay. That's bad?

Yes. Every single time.

It uniformly takes away from the main game, and makes things about "let's make this guy look like Kratos!" or "let me boost my stats all the way!". You're not playing a fighting game at this point, you're fucking around in menus. It detracts from the main gameplay, and in cases where it appears in multiplayer games, turns 'em into an arms-race for the best set of stats/items.

Don't like it!

There's an argument that can be made for it being a creative outlet for folks who usually don't have a creative outlet, but I'm not particularly interested in seeking that out in a game. I really don't want to "make my own fun" in a game, I want the game to be good enough on the merits of the gameplay elements the game designers shipped it with.

I think it's a bad precedent that's been set in modern game design. Same with a lot of "sandbox" stuff.

Shoop!
