General: A Question of Value

A Question of Value

At MMORPG.com we have 5 categories that we use to rate MMOs and RPGs: Gameplay, Visuals and Sound, Polish, Longevity, Value. For the MMO variants we add a sixth category Social into the mix. While all categories are inherently subjective, across all mediums each reviewer brings their own personal bias to a review whether they are attempting to remain impartial or not, I’ve recently been spending a great deal of time contemplating the subjective nature of our value scores.

Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- prepurchasers, rejoice! Arc System Works has seen fit to reward your dedication to their latest console title with an early unlock on PlayStation Network in Japan.

As of just a few minutes ago, the game became available through the digital service, giving players outside of its country of origin the chance to experience it in full for the first time. Pretty special, huh?

So, if you pre-ordered and pre-installed, you should find Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- unlocked on your dashboard. One cool thing to note is that, if your console is set to English, the title will automatically translate all the menus to your language of choice, removing any barrier the original Japanese may have presented.

Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- will be widely available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in Japan later today and in North America on December 16.

Triox Serves Up Another Healthy Offering of Feng Shui Engine Combos for Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Juri

Triox has been releasing a wealth of Juri information lately for Ultra Street Fighter IV. Many of his recent videos come in the form of hour-long tutorials that are loaded with all sorts of useful tips and tricks. Today, though, we’ve got a video of his that takes a brief look at some character-specific options available to the villainess.

These combo paths are rather specific, as they all begin require Feng Shui Engine and begin with an overhead, but having combos that begin from that normal as well as a couple of low-hitting attacks is a great way to keep the pressure up once her eye starts to glow. Since this is the first entry in this combo series, the video only covers a handful of the cast, but we are sure to see more in the future.

If you missed out on Triox’ previous tutorials, which cover the transition from Arcade Edition to Ultra, maximizing situations and combo damage, how to approach footsies, and other ways to utilize Feng Shui Engine, follow this link to take a look.
