is anyone actually going to watch an hour and thirteen minutes of an event they weren't at, like really?

I was playing IV yesterday, I don't have the game but my friend was all man I'm bored lets play an old game. And I picked Talim cause why wouldn't I, but I picked some custom I guess version in this big cloth cat costume. But the costume shattered? And I was in a bra? How does that shatter.

It's because SCIV introduced "Armor Break". Basically the main characters will have bits and pieces of their armor/clothing break to represent taking major damage to either low/med/or high. Custom outfit parts however don't have alternate "Broken" states modeled, so they just completely break off. It's probably either Namco was too lazy to model new broken states for the parts, or it simply would have taken up too much space.

On the plus side, if your character has an afro under a hat, if their hat breaks, the afro hilariously puffs up.

I'm getting this. When I have the funds, of course. In the meantime my neighbors will probably have it and I can play their copy when they're not using it.

Triforce King · Feb. 2, 2012, 05:16 AM

Seriously. Cut that out. Why do you have Thread-Making Disease? You have a Soul Calibur V thread, you don't need three. Augh.

Does anyone else have it? I don't yet.

☆Ezhno☆ · Feb. 2, 2012, 11:05 PM

I bought 3 copies with all this money I've got. I'm using them as coasters.

Linko_16 · Feb. 2, 2012, 11:57 PM

Send me a few, Ez

These cold drinks are ruining my tables

EDIT - no seriously buy me more videogames

Ok, I was not expecting this. I honestly thought the last DLC pack was the last one they were going to release, but Namco is continuing supporting the game via a patch coming soon, and there's more Custom Character DLC to come! Awesome!
