    The latest patch 1.24 along with the edition of PS crossplay seems to have broken record of their prior experience. A lot players still unable to connect to online, getting kicked back to main menu with network errors, unable to join Tower lobbies, half of the maps aren't playable because it takes toll on console players causing spike in roll backs.

A lot players still unable to connect to online, getting kicked back to main menu with network errors, unable to join Tower lobbies, half of the maps aren't playable because it takes toll on console players causing spike in roll backs. Devs have gone silent and players as of now have no way to troubleshoot these issues who are stuck with the product.… Expand

    This game is just a pain in the ass. This Tower-System is really annoying, the hardest challenge in this game is to find an opponent to fight without having a mental breakdown

    Can't support companies that backstab the fans for cookie points on Twitter. Congratulations to ArcSystemWorks for dividing their community. 343i and Activision-Blizzard should take notes.

    The decision to retroactively make Bridget trans is absolutely baffling - as a gay man, disappointing to lose representation

    This fighter had a chance but missed it. The combat system shifted in the wrong direction and especially when the previous parts were really top. I'm really bothered by breaking through the walls in arenas, it's annoying mechanics that destroy the dynamics of combat. And that embarrassing story? Too bad to write about it.

The combat system shifted in the wrong direction and especially when the previous parts were really top. I'm really bothered by breaking through the walls in arenas, it's annoying mechanics that destroy the dynamics of combat. And that embarrassing story? Too bad to write about it. Street fighter 5 game went to stone all when it came out of only 16 game characters and here no one minds that there are only 15 of them, which is absolutely ridiculous. Very disappointing and of course without crossplay support for the PC, which in translation means that in a few months it will not be possible to play online due to lack of players.… Expand

    strive is easy to start, stylish, and have a lot of ppl playing, but going deeper is full of flaws on a base level (big damage and simple blockstrings in a game where defensive options are rather limited, RC that basically eliminates risk of a failed attack, sometimes you feel like playing on 11f rollback and game telling you its only 2f , UI isnt greatest etc) its basically party gamestrive is easy to start, stylish, and have a lot of ppl playing, but going deeper is full of flaws on a base level (big damage and simple blockstrings in a game where defensive options are rather limited, RC that basically eliminates risk of a failed attack, sometimes you feel like playing on 11f rollback and game telling you its only 2f , UI isnt greatest etc) its basically party game where char with bigger HP is reigning supreme ( more chances to get in or build resources, and when you can kill opponent in 2 combos - game is becoming predictable WERY fast)

    GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- is a great fighting game and a great sequel to an old franchise which successfully caters to both genre veterans and newcomers. It is a bit on the expensive side, but the gameplay, art, and music all justify it.

    Each fighter is very unique, so, even though there is a good tutorial, it will take a long time before you’ll learn how to fight properly. Still, if you have even a slightest interest in Japanese fighting games – you absolutely have to check out Strive. [Issue#254, p.56]

    In summary, Guilty Gear Strive is an excellent evolution of a series that’s always provided players with a unique and interesting approach to weapons-based combat, and now it’s slightly less impenetrable for newcomers. It’s got room to grow, but it’s a stylish, standout fighter whose strengths absolutely outnumber its flaws.
