GUILTY GEAR XX ACCENT CORE PLUS R Free Download GAMESPACK.NET

GUILTY GEAR XX ACCENT CORE PLUS R Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Fans’ prayers were answered late last year when 2007’s Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, the best game to ever bear the name, finally became available on modern consoles, and it made the transition near perfectly. Now, with Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R (say that three times fast) not only do Vita owners get a pixel-perfect port of the original release, but they also get exclusive North American access to the most recently balanced version available. And though the lack of online play hurts the overall package, AC+R is still an enjoyable fighter for beginners and experts alike.Now, that last bit is something you probably haven’t heard about Guilty Gear before. Much like the guitar virtuosos providing the stellar soundtrack, Guilty Gear players are known for their uncompromising technical prowess. Few fight fans would contend that there’s ever been a more mechanically advanced 2D fighter. Controls map to the Vita without compromise, and the wide array of mobility options and flashy moves for each character can be appreciated within minutes of playing. But man, I’ve been playing fighting games since they existed, and I still had to put in major work just to get anything resembling a combo down.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Where I can learn a solid combo for any member of the cast in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 within 15 minutes or so, anything threatening in Accent Core took a couple of solid hours to get down. And that’s without getting into the hard stuff. Guilty Gear’s input interpreter is as strict as they come, and even normal moves can have a dizzying number of unique properties that become crucial in specific situations. While this may sound intimidating – and it is – it’s this very depth that’s kept hardcore players coming back for years to level up their game. Don’t let the double-black-diamond steep learning curve dissuade you though, as you can still have plenty of fun at the foot of the mountain without trying to claw your way to the peak. While many of the finer points are tucked away under the hood for advanced players to discover and exploit, you don’t need an expert’s eye to discern what makes these characters special. The biggest freak show of a cast Capcom ever managed to conjure up was for Darkstalkers, but Sol, Ky, and the gang make that lot look like a Saturday morning cartoon. Slayer is a vampire assassin with a “come at me bro” walking animation, and Johnny’s cane-sword and fedora helped him define “swag” way before it started popping up on tee shirts. If the original had ever seen a real domestic arcade release, Ky and Sol might very well have been the next Ryu and Ken.

Full 25 characters cast!

Or at least the next Scorpion and Sub-Zero. For as varied as the 25 characters look, their play styles are even more divergent. They wield everything from swords and scalpels to undead dogs and yo-yos, and unlike many other fighting games, even the oddballs can be bigtime threats in the right hands. One of AC+R’s biggest changes is that Kliff and Justice are both unlocked from the start, and have been toned down in power to match the rest of the bunch. Every member of the cast has some sort of unique mechanic to leverage, or some way in which they appear to break the rules of the genre, like Baiken the one-armed samurai who can cancel out of block stun, or Jam who can string her various special moves together in any order she’d like. Sure, it may take some head scratching to figure out how to apply these concepts in useful ways, but in the meantime you’re throwing out screen-filling flame punches of doom and riding a dolphin into your opponent’s face. The real question is how this port stacks up to more modern games, and its handheld contemporaries, which have largely been of high quality. Visually, AC+R fares very well. The art direction is incredibly strong, and like most games with a vibrant color palette, it looks great on the Vita’s screen. While it’s a bit disappointing to see it limited to a 4:3 aspect ratio, it was a necessary evil for remaining true to the original’s gameplay.Aqua Moto Racing Utopia

Sure, its modern-day console offspring look better, but graphically it stands proud against Vita’s other fighters. In terms of features however… well that’s another story. AC+R’s menus seem indistinguishable from those of AC’s console release at first. The fully featured, but confusing-to-navigate training mode is back, and still lacks the detailed move descriptions that Arc System’s newer games sport. This may sound like a minor detail, but in a game where moves can have so many unique properties, it’s actually quite valuable. As is a combo trial mode, another staple of modern fighters that AC+R lacks. But easily the biggest omission in this port is that of online play. Despite being the most competitively tuned version of the title available in the West, the only option you have for fighting other people is an ad-hoc connection. Needless to say, this is hugely disappointing, since human competition is the beating heart of one-on-one fighters. The substantial single-player content is identical to the console in every way, but the inability to reliably play against others puts a considerable damper on the experience. At a technical level, the core tenets of the Guilty Gear series are all upheld in Accent Core Plus R. The easy to learn, yet difficult to master four-button system, the aggression-centric super (overdrive) meter, Faultless Defense (the ability to block damage/chip-damage through meter use).

Refined skills, polished strategies.

Roman Canceling, Force Breaks (EX moves introduced in Accent Core), and of course, (balanced) insta-kill supers are all back and better than ever. One of my favorite things about the Guilty Gear franchise is how easy it is to create and learn your own combos given the tools available. By using Roman Cancels to essentially cancel any move in the game into another combo, you can utilizing the Gatling Combo system (which allows for a basic string from light to heavy attacks) and easy-input launchers to pick things up almost immediately and look cool while doing it. Of course, given how fast some of the characters in the game are and how nuanced baiting is, nearly everything can be countered in the blink of an eye. It’s the reason why Arc System Works has changed so little of the core foundation of the game since Guilty Gear X — it just works, barring the fact that characters need to be tweaked here and there. Speaking of tweaks, as a result of the Plus R update, all 25 characters have been modified, so even some veterans will have to re-learn a combo or two. The previously illegal Justice and Kliff have been re-worked (read: significantly nerfed) so that they can be used in tournament play.ALICE VR

Justice specifically has had a significant dropoff in nearly all her stats, and she’s significantly slower than her normal incarnations. She’s basically a trap-based character now until she triggers her Omega Shift super, which briefly transforms her into her old mobile self. From what I can tell after testing every character, the game is fairly balanced in its Plus R state — perhaps more so than ever before — until the US region starts cracking into the meta-game, that is. As you can probably tell, Guilty Gear can be a bit difficult to pick up compared to the vast majority of other fighters out there, so I recommend checking out a basic guide in tandem with your training efforts. The giant cast of characters, all of which have completely different personalities and styles, hold up incredibly well even today. From the regal Ky Kiske to the male nun Bridget, there’s someone for every fighting game fan to enjoy. Characters aside, if you’ve never experienced a Guilty Gear game before, one of the main draws is the rocking soundtrack — it’s simply one of the best in gaming. Every character has their own track that is custom built for them, and you’ll start to identify certain tracks with certain personalities. The artwork is also stunning, and looks great on the Vita’s OLED screen, even if it’s not technically an upgrade from the console versions in any way given the 4:3 resolution — which thankfully isn’t a downgrade, like the PSP version.

Multiple game modes.

A lot of work went into making the Guilty Gear series timeless after all that time, and Arc System Works certainly succeeded. Every previous mode has been preserved, including a story mode, arcade play, M.O.M mode (Medal of Millionaire, a survival mode of sorts), Mission Mode, galleries, and more. For solo fighting game fans, there’s a lot of content on offer here — almost too much, provided you don’t want anything as high-reaching as Tekken‘s spin-off minigames. That all sounds good right? Well here’s a pretty huge, disappointing bombshell — there is no online support, and there’s no support for cross-play, cross-save, or cross-buy with the PS3 version of the game (which has, at the time of this writing, not obtained the Plus R update yet). That’s right, despite the fact that it was advertised in a previous trailer, there’s no online mode for the Vita version of Guilty Gear, as acknowledged by Arc System Works. To say this a massive disappointment and will no doubt effect a decision to double-dip is an understatement. If you already own the game on the PS3 or the 360, it’s probably best to just wait for the free update to make the game into Plus R. There is local ad hoc support, but to many Vita owners, this is basically useless.If it wasn’t for the major omission of new features, the lack of online play, and the fact that Plus R is coming to consoles for free.

I would have enjoyed Guilty Gear on the Vita a whole lot more. The fact of the matter is, the game still holds up even today, and the series is still relevant, tight, and competitive. So long as you aren’t bothered by an utter fumbling of features in this port, you’re still getting a solid fighting game that should at the very least, function as a portable training simulation for the console version. I’m pretty torn on the review given the omission of such a major function, but ultimately Guilty Gear is a great game, and that core was preserved here. Using the previous installation, “GUILTY GEAR XX ΛCORE CORE” as the base, players can perform “Gatling combos” by simply pressing attack buttons in sequence; or launch their opponents into mid-air with the overhead “Dust” attack; or cancelling their character’s current motion to allow for more follow-ups with the “Roman Cancel”; keeping everything that makes a GUILTY GEAR game, while fine-tuning everything to reach optimal balance! Accent Core Plus marks the return of fan favorites Kliff Undersn and Justice, rounding out the cast of 25 playable characters. And in the latest Plus R version, they have been fine-tuned for more competitive play!
