    Excelente juego, buenos graficos, personajes carismaticos, sistema de jugabilidad satisfactorio y los tiempos de cargas son realmente cortos, ojala salgan varios DLCs, con mas personajes y si se puede mas trajes para los personajes, y mas actividades para realizar con el avatar, cosas sencillas como sentarse o respirar lo harian sentir mas vivo

    Juste exceptionnel. Les animation, le training, le mode story,....LE MULTI !!! c'est juste de la folie. Ils ont reussi un tour de force incontestablement. GG rev se place comme le meilleur jeux de combat sur le marche a l'haure actuel....pas moins

    As a huge Fan of the Guilty Gear Series I was literally blown away by the predecessor "Sign" - theres hardly any other 2D Game out there thats as graphically stunning than this one (well, BlazBlue from the same devs lol).

Since "Sign" left off with a huge cliffhanger Story wise (and much to be desired when it Comes to the character roster) - Revelator packs up as a full fledged Sequel, continuing the Story, adding a few chars and tweaking/improving the Systems even further.
    In short, the new chars are Overall pretty great, though I admit ist a huge letdown that two of them have to be bought with real cash (they were free to download for a while). And as much as Johnny, Jam and Dizzy are welcomed yet again to the roster, the new chars like Jack-O, Kum and Raven also add to the huge variety of the GG chars and fit in very well in both design and fighting style.
    Still a shame that so many of the past chars are still absent (just to save em up for future installments).
    The Story mode is - yet again - a sorta 3 hrs Long Anime movie that catches up where "Sign" left off and Ends with .. you know it ... a huge cliffhanger as soon as things start to get really interesting.
    The Online Mode has been vastly improved in ist awkward design, with Lobbys and Avatars to meet up, Chat, and of course compete.
    Theres hardly any lag noticeable as far as I have experieced, but - GG is not so populated online as Id wish.
    Finding a ranked match can take forever if you are lookin in another Region than US or JP.
    For single Players theres also plenty to do - a very good Tutorial, Combo Training and Challenge Mode teach you all there is to know about the complex fighting mechanics, the Arcade and VS Modes are kinda self explainatory, with the Survival Mode "MOM" being the star of the Show here (where you collect medals, can buy Upgrades for your character and dive deeper an deeper). Theres also a Gallery mode where you can spend the ingame earned Money for new Character Colors, Artworks and Stuff like that.
    The graphics and the Soundtrack have to be mentioned especially, since its even imporoved over the predecessor - eveything Looks sharper.
    The only real negative about this game is the lack of so many characters that I grew attached to as a Long term fan, that two chars from the roster have to be bought with real Money as a highly overpriced DLC, and that the Story leaves you with a cliffhanger like someone cuts off the energy in the middle of a tense fight.
    Dont worry though - Revelator2 is announced already, so in a few months (spring 2017) it will all continue.
    Its also a shame that there is no english voiceover - I get extremely annoyed by japanese voices (I know thats weird coming from an Anime Fan) but thats not as much of a big deal as the missing characters (Justice, Testament, Kliff, Bridget - what the hell ArcSys lol).
    Also kinda sad that there will be almost as many updates to "Xrd" as there have been with "X" before.
    Milk that cow ArcSys.
    Apart from that - probably the best fighting game of this gen so far.
    Must buy for anyone that has interest in fighting games.    … Expand

    Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- takes familiar controls and creates something truly unique in the fighting genre. The story is a little hard to digest, but the gameplay and mechanics of the game are flawless. Chances are you'll play the game so much, the story becomes organically apparent. It is a must play for fans of fighting games.

    Easily the best fighting game out there. Great visuals, tutorial, music and character design. I was a SF player for years, but this game converted me. Rock on!

    El tercer mejor juego de lucha de la generación actual, solo detrás del respetado King of fighter 14 y el genial Killer Instinct. muy buenos graficos en 3d, gran animación, soundtrack bestial, plantel de lucha aceptable pero mejorable, largo, historia entretenida modos offline y online variaditos y divertidos. excelente juego

    Incredible art style, deep game play and robust tutorial. The online lobby is a mini game by itself while waiting for opponents. Very good story mode with animesque computer art style (no game play though).

    One of the most complete packages this generation which is rare to say these days. Even the physical game comes with a manual.

    The lack of an English dub keeps this score lower than it should be. Then English voice acting for SIGN was quite good, and it's definitely a negative to not have this alternative set of voices. I only put this note here because of what I have read on a lot of forums as of late, but "player nostalgia" is not a good excuse for not properly localizing the audio for an audience.

This lack of English will also hinder the game's ability to attract new players. In particular, not having Slayer's English voice is a sin (no pun intended).

    However, the new graphics effects are quite good and add some great polish to the visual experience. The new fight mechanics, such as the ability to overdrive with a burst and the blitz attacks, make for more interesting and complex fight situations. Tutorials and formerly Challenges, now called Combos, have seen some improvement in detail as well. Overall, there are both pros and cons to this newest Guilty Gear installment.    … Expand

If you haven't tried the Xrd yet, new installment may be useful opportunity this time.… Expand

    Best fighting game since Sign and King of Fighters XIII. Best fighting game for 'next gen' consoles. Absolutly great characters, incredible music, beautiful visuals, FUN, and a lot of single player content.

    If you have a PS4 and love Fighting Games (Not only Street Fighter, a true fighting game fan) you can't miss it.

    - The Fighting games can be have worst matchmaking you've ever heard.
    this game is don't have matchmaking like a tekken 6.
    For example, match of tekken6. when you join match. and just wait a few second,
    Automatically matches player,ping,class. don't need a host and entrant. That's it.

    but this game...(sigh)
    you can be a host or challenger.
    host is make a match. and wait until come challenger
    The challenger can see the host created match list. and you can see hosts class and ping.
    Select and connect match.

    Of course, this game have a filter to the ping and skills before joining.

    This is my first guilty gear game. This game is the hardest fighting game to master that I have ever played. It is truly worth mastering also. I was starting to prefer 3D fighting games until I played this.

    This is by far the best fighting game out there !
    Stunning graphics, great gameplay and awesome music. it's fast paced, has a good story and even his tutorial mode is so good that it puts every other fighting game to shame !
    It's really a pleasure to see so much efforts and passion was put into it.
    I didn't see that since the good old days of Capcom/SNK...

    Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator is hands down the best fighting game I‘ve ever seen it has excellent visual graphics, incredible combos and well-made characters, with excellent stories and, cinematics are the best, you must play this game now.

    As a fighting game fan, having new systems to learn has been great fun and the design of the characters and the world is instantly enjoyable if you like Japanese fighting games and/or anime. With the detailed tutorial and introduction of the Stylish control mode, it’s far more approachable for new players, but the complexity of the story and how little it does to help people jump on quickly may rub people the wrong way.
