Bizarre Japanese Vending Machine Gallery - Fap fap fap...... More














Character designs look wonderful, as I'd expect from a GG successor. I don't have either system, but I'd certainly pick it up if I did.
When you do get either system, you will be glad you did. This game is amazing. Though, I still have yet to find any fappable fan art yet. I would really like some Noel x Taokaka action.
there are a lot of taokaka to fap to unless you dont like her. there are some noel and litchi as well.
http://img126.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=89378_Blazblue_carl_clover_taokaka_123_216lo.jpg
Taokaka FTW!
Thanks that was good. But, I'm talking about like, nearly identical to the art style of BlazBlue.
Too bad thar's no PC version... =_=;
not worth ps3 but ok for ps2 or psp
Even though PC shouldn't be a main focus for a game like this making a port to PC would be a piece of cake since most modern arcade machines run on windows XP already.
It's also available on PS2
No.
I'm glad for Noel's lack of exposure.
...because she's my favourite.
Yeah, wrap your heads around that one.
at first i was disappointed with the small amount of characters in the game, but after i played story mode, everything just clicked for me :)
not really into fighting games .... but this looks alright
I already have this game, but the thing is that I don't have a PS3 yet because it's so dang high for me to just buy yet, So I had to get the Xbox 360 Version. Online battles should still be happening in the Xbox360. It's obviously why PS3's is getting more sells than Xbox360 to me.
yeah Xbox online is way more stable and unless you want to play with this "pros" from japan with horrible horrible lag, you won't care about them
they did a really good job on the online play. I have not noticed any lag on the ps3 version at all. Controls remain to be extremely responsive as well. Like playing it locally.
I've played with some Japanese player with no lag to be seen. Granted I got my ass kicked, hah.
It's a great game. I've been playing it non stop since I got it.
Same, for the PS3, where the elite play.
elites play on 360. ps3 is full of noobs and cheaters and people just keep making sub accs. u really has no idea wat console gaming community is japan is like.
Really, you have those same people on both consoles. You can't get away from them in console games. But, in my opinion, the PS3 BlazBlue is better because of the D-Pad and that's all. I would have gotten it on 360 if I had friends who played it on there.
Controllers are for wussies. Learn playing with with a stick.
This thread fails.
A Xbox fanboy, an "it doesn't matter, there's no difference, really" and a pseudo-pro (scrub posing)...
I would love to have a stick for the PS3, but I'm running on a budget until I get a job.
Once Tekken comes out for PS3 w/ the Arcade Controller... I'll be using it for BlazBlue. :3
FanBoys, don't understand, just ignore.
I got it the day it came out (360 version). It was the last one in the store. Taokaka, and Noel are awesome.
Needs MOAR Kokonoe
Also has a lot to do with fighting stick compatability.. PS family sticks are extremely versatile.
PS3 does have a fatal error though that makes competitive playing worthless. and that is that you can make multiple PSN accounts for free.
and how is that fatal error?
lolwut?
The leaderboards give precedence to players with large numbers of wins, and uses percentage as a tiebreaker. Not to mention that making a new account won't do you a damn OUNCE of good if you haven't gained the skills to improve your record.
For instance: I have a record of a little under 50% wins, with 40 total wins. If I miraculously gain new skills and decide to use them to go win 100 games straight, I will be sitting in the 100-win zone... but if I gain those same marvelous skills and stick to my guns, I will be in the 140-win section of the leaderboard.
tl;dr: Multiple accounts will weaken the record of the multi-accounter. ALWAYS.
woo another game i can't play because i don't own a ps3 or an xbox 360.
you don't have enough time to play ALL the games anyway
I highly approve of this article.
TAOKAKA IS <3
PS3s are gay, sucks this site is so bi-est. PS3/360 are pretty much the same consoles, I own both and enjoy both.
Bias*. I wouldn't expect a 360 fanboy to know how to spell properly though, since they're all 12 years old - either physically or mentally (or both). PS3 has free online, built in Blu-Ray and WiFi, true 1080p HD support, and better exclusives. 360 charges you $50/yr to play games online that you already bought and are gonna put ads on the dashboard. You're paying $50/yr for advertisements.
http://kotaku.com/5305087/ads-coming-to-xbox-360-dashboard
How does THAT make you feel? And you're exclusives - What's 360 got coming out in '09? Halo ODST, Forza 3, and Mass Effect 2. So, 1 shitty Halo rehash, a Gran Turismo ripoff, and 1 good RPG. While I'm jealous of Mass Effect 2, I think E3's Game of the Show - Uncharted 2 - as well as God of War 3, Ratchet and Clank Future: ACiT, Demon's Souls, White Knight Chronicles, Gran Turismo 5, M.A.G., The Last Rebellion, Katamari Forever, and Fat Princess will cheer me up. Not to mention InFamous, Killzone 2, Yakuza 3, Flower, MLB: The Show, and a handful of other AAA games that came out in '09 that will keep me goin' 'til the holiday season.
Oh, and lets not forget that 2 of the biggest games this year, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Assassin's Creed 2, both have exclusive content on the PS3. Suck that GTA4 and Fallout 3.
Kotaku itself is so biased toward sony dont u see that? Japanese hate sony you can go research on things called GK, Sony Timer. In fact ps3 got tons of assholes because anyone could just keep making free ids. for gamertags u need to give up ur gamerscore and flish to make a newone, i encounter less assholes on live though. I play in Japanese community, almost all my gaming friends are around 30s while my ps3 flist has lots of high schoolers. GT5s reign is already over, after so long in development i still do not see any thing coming out except gt5 prologue where cheaters just zoom pass u and most importantly no one fucking owns a mic. While forza u can design ur own car its really interesting to see people with IMAS or dream club car racing with you. The Last Rebellion is complete rubbish period go look at the screen shot, i bet u wont buy it. Ryu3 is interesting to some extent, but ryu kenzan is complete rubbish though. White Knight Chronicles is not interesting at all, you are doing the samething over and over again and the main story ends abruptly you dont even know wat is happening.
Play Halo 3 and then play Killzone 2. Tell me PSN has more childish assholes than XBL. I *DARE* you. It can't be done. Absolutely impossible. Also, most people accuse Kotaku of being bias *AGAINST* the PS3, not TOWARDS it. I personally find them to be a well publicated, unbiased source, but people will always find something to bitch about (They are teh bias! They said something bad about the 360! Oh noes!?!!"
So, is 2009 the year of the PS3 too? I keep on hearing that every year.
The cell is so awesome that even when sales drop, it's still amazing. Thats why 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 are supposed to be the years of the PS3.
Don't underestimate the PS3. It's got everything you could ever want! Like BluRay...and...WiFi...and...and...a bunch of other stuff you don't need!
"year of the PS3" is fanboy bullshit ignore it due too no factual basis. Cell has it's pros and cons.
The PS33 also has digital optical audio output and no bullshit money squeezing schemes,so it doesn't require you to buy extra god damn cables because microsoft decided "haha we wont allow you HDMI cable+ the standard audio cables because we are greedy scumbags and want u to buy this EXTRA 30 dollar cable etc.
The standard PS3 beats the 360 Elite hands down in value and could possibly challenge the premium xbox for anyone considering a HD tv + any kind of sound not coming from the god damn monitor. Now a logical human being would weigh the features and games and prices against eachother and decide based on that which is the "best" console for him, long story short there is no static answer for best console
@ Rinfinite
No one said shit about 06/07 being "Year of the PS3". The only reason '08 wasn't dominated by the PS3 is 'cause 360 actually had some decent exclusives to contend with it. Now that it's '09 though, 360 doesn't have *SHIT*. You saw E3. 1/2 their damn show was a demo of some 15 yr old autistic girl spazzing out on PS Eye. Errrr, Project Natal***.
What was Sony's E3? Oh yeah, nothing but PURE games. 1 game after another. SO MANY GAMES THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO SHOW ALL THEIR EXCLUSIVES IN 2 HOURS. Microsoft showed off a bunch of multiplatform games and some bullshit with Halo. Their big Epic exclusive? A fucking XBLA Arcade game.
Keep trying to tell yourself the PS3 doesn't have the most amazing lineup of exclusives this year. It's gonna be hard to deny it when the holidays roll around and the only exclusives you have to enjoy is a racing sim. Your tears of jealousy will feed me while I play Uncharted 2 and over 36 other exclusive titles dropping in '09 for PS3.
"Keep trying to tell yourself the PS3 doesn’t have the most amazing lineup of exclusives this year."
"What was Sony’s E3? Oh yeah, nothing but PURE games. 1 game after another. SO MANY GAMES THEY DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TIME TO SHOW ALL THEIR EXCLUSIVES IN 2 HOURS. Microsoft showed off a bunch of multiplatform games and some bullshit with Halo. Their big Epic exclusive? A fucking XBLA Arcade game."
This year? Just this fucking year? ROFL.
Oh wait, you guys have Hannah Montana on the PSP, Sony's E3 was amazing indeed!
Well, to be honest, a lot of the Ps3 exclusives aren't coming out until 2010.
@Rinfinite
That part of the press conference was pretty sarcastic.. The audience seemed to lol too, as it was somewhat obligatory to add something like that in.
Should have seen EA's conference. They got some fucking 12 year old girls on stage to play some random shit. Painful to watch =\
"you're exclusives" lol "how to spell properly" huh ??
Why the asshole treatment to the 360 owners? I own both consoles, and I rarely turn on my PS3. The games that come out for both consoles lean towards my 360 almost all the time.
PS3 has additional stuff that you don't really need. You'll say, "oh, that's cool...ok, I'm over it." PS3 exclusives aren't that great man, the year of the PS3 is yet to come...if it ever does.
It's shit like this that makes me ashamed to be a gamer at this time. /: Fucking children.
yeah really
Great Game got me into the fighting game spirit once again.
"supposedly on account of the best Japanese players being overwhelmingly on the PS3" This kind of comment is from people that has completely no idea of what gaming community in japan is like.
even in japan xbox360 community has much better player in term of quality. this apply to all fighting game, fps alike. go read up 2ch before making biased comment. ps3's rubbish like friendlist system makes it impossible to communicate, its like only 10% of the japanese actually have a mic for ps3 while for 360 mic is a standard accessory for people who play online. I own 2 console btw.
a japanese vs an american and a mic...?
Regardless I'm playing the freak out of this game, but I have to remember not to overheat the console or else....
360?
That's all well and dandy, unless you live in Canada and didn't pre-order it; We're pretty much forced to wait until the end of July for restocks ( or the standard version, no less ) to come by because they somehow didn't make enough.
I've never had so much trouble getting a game after its release. D:
360 is a bad system for fighting games to begin with.controller is crap.so annoying to use
Any serious player will have a joystick anyway, so the point is moot...
Yeah, because every person uses an arcade stick. *rolls eyes*
> serious player
Where's your reading comprehension?
Arcade sticks are VERY expensive =\. Well. good ones anyway. Not affordable for budget people like me :(
That's really just a ludicrous statement, Artefact. A joystick is not a pre-requisite for competitive play. The sales of the PS3 version are higher due to the PS3's superior D-pad, and for no other reason.
I hate these scrubs posing like they were competitive gamers. 360's controller might suck, but you won't lose solely because of it. Whatever works for you is fine, really.
There's not much of a difference between pad and stick warriors in the Saturn Pad tier. Arcade sticks allow for better, faster inputs, mixups, etc, but this does not mean there will be really a big difference if you are using a pad (and have the skills).
I used to rock faces on GGXX#R using the original Xbox's S-Type controller analog stick. all I'd hear is "HURRR STICK IS SUPERIOR" "LOL ANALOG" "LOL SCRUB" And then I'd kick their ass.
Sticks are not superior, if you practice enough with ANYTHING you can become damn good. A lot of the motions only seem difficult to some on the dpad because they haven't found the right way to do them
X-play gave it a 4 out of 5.
I give it 5 out of 5 just for the Panchira!
International sales of the ps3 version has almost NOTHING to do with Japanese players. It's all about the controller. Nobody would be caught dead playing a fighter using the 360's broken ass d-pad.
More like us Europeans who have a PS3 can import and play while nothing is said about a PS3/360 release in Europe.
Anyone who's living in such abject poverty that they can't afford to buy or make a decent stick shouldn't have a PS3 or 360 in the first place, they should save whatever rubles they have for malaria medications and what have you.
Seriously, why would anyone EVER subject themselves to ANY controller in a fighting game? It's only a step or two above using a keyboard, which I'm pretty sure is outlawed by the Geneva Convention. They probably force prisoners in Guantanamo to play Third Strike on a keyboard right after they finish waterboarding them. Well, not 3S, probably one of the KoFs. It's torture after all.
Oh god just shut up. Plenty of people can play extraordinarily well with a keyboard, and just as many can excel with a d-pad. Many people's first long-term exposure to fighting games came with the SNES version of SFII, and they learned to pull off just about anything with a d-pad.
wouldn't blame the D-pad I know several people that can do rotate moves better on 360 d-pad. Personally I use an arcade stick. For controllers I prefer 360s because it fits the human hands alot better than a PlayStation one and don't cramp up your fingers.
I can probably kick your sorry ass using my D-pad no matter what joystick/arcade stick you use.
I demand Racheal's panchira~!!!! Well, it's not like it's going to happen and i don't even have a ps3/360..
queen vampy isnt going to give her pantsu with out first asking for ur blood.... bloody pantsu?
man, after hearing so much problems about obtaining blazblue now, I'm glad i pre-ordered the special edition online.
blazblue on blu-ray? just to catchy to not get this on ps3, not to mention the superior controller for fighting games, although you can make the argument that if your really hardcore, you are playing with a stick but whatever...game is pro.
Almost makes me wish I had a PS3 but it will have to wait until FF13 comes out.
The Japanese hardcore fighting game community's system of choice is the 360. It has been since DoA4 and will continue to be for a very long time. Even the SoulCalibur community has pretty much completely abandoned the PS3.
The PS3 version did outsell the 360 version by a little over 10k according to Famitsu, but that has more to do with there being many more PS3 owners than 360 owners in Japan. As for the PS3 outselling the 360 version internationally, that is really just baseless conjecture unless you can provide some numbers. In the US for example, the 360 version of almost everything significantly outsells the PS3 version.
I know I shouldn't expect you to know what you're talking about though. :)
PS3 sales:

360 sales:
http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=36071
I see you are blissfully unaware that VGchartz has absolutely no credibility.
Hardcore and 3D go together like Korea and humility.
DoA and Soul Calibur, hahaha.
You are forgotting that gamers in PAL terretories NEED the PS3 version since they were so retarded to region lock the 360 version even while they have no intention of EVER releasing this on PAL (see guilty gear who never ever got a EU release).
Yeah, keep telling yourself that, lets just forget that the Evo championship series are using ps3s as the console of choice
And really DoA and Soul Calibur? please
Guilty Gear was released in Europe
Can you read? I said the JAPANESE hardcore fighting game community's system of choice is the 360. This is a fact. Why are you idiots bringing the EU and Evo into this?
The only reason Evo are using PS3's is because of Tekken DR, by the way.
"Hardcore and 3D go together like Korea and humility."
Another retard. Virtua Fighter is just as hardcore (if not more so) than any 2D game. Granted the console prts of VF5 are obsolete at this point, but the 360 still has the definitive version.
Evo is using PS3 because PS2 sticks are prevalent as are the PS2 to USB converters that work on PS3 as well.
Not everybody owns a 360, and not everybody owns a PS3 either. But anybody who has played a fighting game seriously enough within the past couple of years owns a PS2 stick, making it easier on the players.
Agreed. For EVO it's all about functionality than anything else. I bet if 360 had the very same functionality with USB devices, they'd be running on those instead.
If you find GG as one of those unsung epic games , you'll definitely gonna like this one too! And please this one a favor , for the people who are aware of this game esp GG - w/c is a great game but unfortunately didn't get into the top - make this one get in it as a tribute and justice for GG and this franchise itself!
You pick the best to go with the rest!
this game is epic. bought the limited edition last week.
Wonderful game~! Taokaka is my favorite character to play as.
Litchi Fei Ling is my cum slut.
I love this game. Playing this on the PS3. Well, what can I say. I love the storyline for this game. And/// of course, I love litchi's, especially when she got hit! sounds p0rn. but, noel is still my no. 1:)
No way around the Xbox 360 controllers' d-pad suckiness, I'm making no bones 'bout it. And it's not realistic to expect everyone to get an arcade stick just for this game, either.
People forget that the PS3 is region-free. Europeans tend to buy PS3s because of it. It is usually due to the fact that they get games much later than US and Japanese markets. And with BlazBlue not gonna be release until sometime late next year in Europe, of course they would get the PS3 version.
Region free!? Where did u hear that, Likwid Jeenyus?
Been living under a rock these past years now, have we?
Or they just now discovered the amazing thing called the internet the moment they posted that comment.
I have both PS3 and 360 and thanks to a friend I've played both versions. PS3's version online plays smooth 360's when compared lags. As for the controller debate PS3 gets my vote again. In the heat of battle its more reliable to execute combos with PS3's d-pad. So there you have it case close.
Case closed? You make it sound like your opinion is the deciding factor in whether people will get the PS3 or 360 version.
Character designs are superb ^^
so Taokaka likes practicing headbutts apparently.... (you won't understand this unless you've played Blazblue..... and this was a "lol time" moment in the game i actually enjoyed, thanks "boobie lady" XD)
Played it, loved it, keeping it for years to come :)
Hmmmm Should I get this game.I have both system and comfortable with both controller, maybe just maybe
She looks like a Jawa in Star Wars...
Is it true that the console version is censored with less pantsu than the arcade version?
Wow, uh. Don't feed the trolls. <w<;;
xD
I hope I don't have to import this game.. such a hassle.
I liked my GG, looking forward to this.
Don't get much over here in New Zealand.
I lack a PS3. Until that changes, I ain't giving any sort of damn about BlazBlue. Period.
