With Guilty Gear Strive, Game Pass finally has a fighting game worthy of the Series X

March 14, 2023VG247

Arc System Works’ gorgeous fighter is more than just a solid 2D fighting game oozing with style; it’s a graphical masterclass. Now, I’m not saying Game Pass hasn’t had its share of decent fighters pass through it: the service has been home to Tekken 7, Soul Calibur 6, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Mortal Kombat 11 and – more recently – JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. There have also been the more… ambitious games, you know, the ones that mean well but don’t really stick the landing (Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, I’m looking at you). Who will be your…

VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast – Ep.30: The best game that made you uninstall

December 16, 2022VG247

Why would you uninstall the best game ever? Welcome to VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 30 – the best game that made you uninstall. Uninstalling crap games is one thing. But uninstalling a game that would qualify in some way as a “best ever”? That’s a difficult thing to imagine, or determine. Unfortunately for our panellists, that’s the game. Check out VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast on Apple Podcasts and subscribe. Or listen on Spotify. It’s even on YouTube if that’s your thing.

Best of 2021: Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, and Connor’s other GOTY picks

December 28, 2021VG247

With Legends of Runeterra, Genshin Impact, and Guilty Gear: Strive as runners up. I was torn on whether or not Disco Elysium: The Final Cut would be a fair recommendation as one of the best games of the year. However, in my mind the experience present in this ultimate version of ZA/UN’s exceptional RPG is worth a place here. This largely comes down to what must have been a gargantuan task of adding voice acting to the entire cast. I’m not one to shy away from extensive reading, but the charisma provided by the VO cast really helps keep you…

By Dorrani Williams 8 June 2021 14:15 GMT There has never been a better time to learn fighting games.I remember playing fighting games with my friends and family when I was younger, and when I say playing I mean spamming buttons as Eddie Gordo in Tekken and praying to God I’d win.I did win a few games back then but 90% of the time I was just a walking punching bag and the same still applies to this day. I suck! But I have a feeling that will all change with Guilty Gear Strive.In the video below I speak about…

By Dom Peppiatt 17 May 2021 20:42 GMT Bandai Namco and Arc System Works have revealed the Guilty Gear Strive story trailer today, ahead of the game’s launch in June.Fighting games stories are typically off-the-wall, hyperactive nonsense – and any Guilty Gear veteran will tell you this series is no different.Still, players typically only want an excuse to see electric match-ups, take a tour of all the stages, and have a reason to go all-out with their chosen characters when it comes to single-player modes in fighting games… and it looks like the eighth mainline installment in the series is…
