With all the hype and limelight that Ratchet & Clank has, it is easy to miss out on Guilty Gear Strive, which is also releasing on June 11, 2021 on PS4, PS5 and PC. The game is being very highly reviewed and is currently hovering between 89 and 90 on Metacritic.

Metacritic: 89 (was 90 when I started creating this thread)
Opencritic: 84 (90% recommended)



IGN: 9/10
Shacknews: 9/10
GamingTrend: 85/100
Windows Central: 4/5
Just Push Start: 4.5/5

Another one

 

[mejin]

Killer week for PS5.

Killer week for PS5.

This is a cross-gen game, man. :/

 

[Heisenberg007]

Killer week for PS5.

Indeed. Some were feeling down that Sony wouldn't be at E3. I don't think that's an issue if PS users are playing brand-new 90 MC games during E3. After that, Sony will come and announce their show when they are ready to show more awesome stuff.

Killer week for playstation, that's more accurate i guess.

Haha. LOL

 

[amigastar]

It's much better than i've expected.

 

[Strider Highwind]

Thanks for making the thread, I been playing for a good bit this morning but had to leave the house...I love it so far

 

[Blond]

Got this and ratchet pre ordered and can’t wait to play them this birthday weekend!

 

[Mister Wolf]

Is this crossplay with PC.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

This is doing better than I expected.

 

[amigastar]

Is this crossplay with PC.

No, unfortunately not.

 

[SSfox]

Only thing i'm not a big fan of is that story mode is basically just a anime movie to watch with no gameplay, i prefer MK style where you play the story (i mean it's a videogame).

That being said it's not big deal and will watch this in a sit when i plan to sit watch something, so i know what i'm gonna watch. And everything else seems super dope, characters, art design, gameplay, netcode sounds great, and probably even the best ever of any fighting game.

 

[VolticArchangel]

It's crossplay between PS4 - PS5, not just in BC, but with the native PS5 version as well.

 

[Corgi1985]

LOL no pc crossplay is a fuck awful decision unless the goal was to kill the PC playerbase

Tekken and Soul Calibur dont have it either. Shame, really

Hell of a birthday week, happy birthday and be blessed homie!

 

[Pejo]

Sadly, I'm not paying 84 dollars for the deluxe without crossplay, so I'll just wait until the DLC is finished and pick it up on sale on PC. Stupid fucking Sony and their crossplay bullshit.

 

[Blond]

Thanks man! I’m deadass pampering myself Friday I’m gonna try a float tank and and get a massage then lunch and picking them up.

They revamped the arcade mode tho

 

[blackjon24]

This is a cross-gen game, man. :/

A cross gen game that is struggling on previous hardware. Ps4 is running sub 900p and the ps4 pro can’t run this higher 1080p…

With the ps5 version running natively at 4k with super fast load times it is a great showcase for the ps5

I'm way more excited to play this than R&C. Can't wait!

 

[Fake]

PS5 is having a busy day.

 

[VFXVeteran]

This is a cross-gen game, man. :/

Why does that matter? The game needs exactly what from the PS5? SSD doesn't need to be utilized like R&C. It's an amazing looking game!

I hope you Sony warriors don't start trolling every single game that comes out that's not current-gen. You act like cross-gen means the team can't make it look stellar in any way which is BS.

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

 

[e0n]

It's about as good most fighting games can get. Will wait for dizzy.

 

[VFXVeteran]

Nah. I don't think so.

 

[Enjay]

Can't wait to play this in a year or 2 on psnow.

Fighting games on PC is like RTS on console. *insert sick smiley*

Still getting it on PC. Hoping for full native 4k and I have a nice arcade stick that works on it.

That's fine. I just have a weird quirk where I play certain genres strictly on console and others on strictly PC.

 

[VFXVeteran]

Yea, I know what you mean bro. I used to be that way but the PC space has come around with those kinds of games (i.e. Fighting, Sports, Driving, etc..). An example of that would be FS2020. I'd never fly that on an Xbox.

 

[SF Kosmo]

I am bad at fighting games and rarely buy them but I always end up picking up Guilty Gear titles. Probably wait for a sale though.

 

[MvCSpiderman]

Shallow no content game, another FGC inflated score from FGC reviewers or at least competitive if not that.

Game could be fine but if you're going to give SFC 70's for no content why does Strive get a pass?

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

The people at Sony need to stop being greedy cunts about cross-play/cross-save and stuff like that. It blows that even simpler games like Genshin and Fall Guys have no way of transferring your saves from PS to PC and vice versa.

How is there no content? I don't understand. It has several play options. No it's not like Netherreal games but it's still going to give a good amount of playable content.

According to some, pc has plenty of users so I don't see the problem . Either way it's not Sony's job to boost the PC player base lol ask Gabe or something

On topic, I'll definitely be trying this out. Will be my first guilty gear game

according to statistics

Steam has more monthly active users than both Xbox and PlayStation

Valve has published a round-up of Steam usage data, and the report reveals more information about how the service compares to PlayStation and Xbox.

There you have it, so why are people complaining about it not being cross play lol but I've diverged enough.

i have no idea, when the VAST majority of console players use wifi. games like tekken and street fighter are alive and well on PC years after release.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I bought the Deluxe Edition on PS5 and got the PS4 version with it. A win win because I may just use my PS4. That way I don’t use my DualSense and console excessively. Wait till I get a new DualSense controller.

 

[Kagero]

My God! This is the prettiest game ever!

 

[chriskun]

Does anyone know if you can change the music to music from the previous games? The God Smack/Disturbed cover band they had do the OST is a deal breaker to me.

 

[VeganElduderino]

Such a beautiful game , i never played any guilty gear games...., i'm tempted with this one , but i'm affraid ill do with most fighting games play a few rounds then don't touch it like forever .

 

[Arsic]

Loving the game myself but fighting game reviews are all over the board for this genre.

This game has major faults and some shitty practices. Not saying it needs bad reviews but more talk about it.

*Fishing is a stupid click fest
*Lobbies are beyond dog shit
*Lack of offline content
*Not enough colors (saved for dlc)
*No PC beta
*Releasing it early for more money pre orders is a shit practice
*Game doesn't remember music/stage settings
*Training to fight online "mode" doesn't work
*The slow, painful, and often game freezing of leveling up to a new lobby


I could go on but compared to Netherrealm Studios offerings this game and all other fighters are still playing catch up.

At the end of the day pretty visuals, solid fighting, and netcode is all this package has. It's the barebones fundamentals of what is needed to be a great fighter.

 

[Kagero]

I’m exactly like you. I’ll pick this up for sure once the price drops a little just for the art alone.

It's Sony, what did you expect?

dam man at least do some research before your normal antics... its a technical issue they are working on.. you would know that if you followed this games development. And they (arc system works) have said they are looking into working it in.
