One Piece Pirate Warriors 2

Oh boy, they're already advertising DLC.

Didn't get DLC last time, probably won't this time either.

What if Ace was DLC?

It would have to be a character pack, I wouldn't just buy the one character.

Yo ho.

Next month, guys.

Be there or be circle.

I guess I'm a circle then, I refuse to buy this until the price isn't $10 higher than it should be. The first was a budget title for christ's sake.

Why not order it online? Isn't it cheaper on one of those sites you guys use?

If I were talking about the local price I'd be saying it was $60 more expensive than it should be.

From what we established I think I can post to you for £6-7 recorded and insured all that jazz, so what price does this need to get to before you bite i'll keep an eye out if they do a good sale.

Honestly I'd rather not pay more than $50 all up and I doubt that's going to happen any time soon, I'm considering using a reward point voucher for it though, I might wait and see what you guys think of the game first.

Good call, even though its looks fun its probably a good idea to know the level of content, if a large part is single player, but its all filler crap, then that might ruin it quite a lot.

I imagine it's pretty much like the first game, only bigger, better, and without the platforming levels. Not a grossly different produce from its predecessor given the time they took to make it, but more like one big fat expansion.  

I do like that they decided to go with a big what-if direction for the story mode, since that'll make the game feel less like a minor improvement and give it more of a unique touch. Not to mention the story mode will have co-op this time too, which is a nice plus.

I've preordered it, but I was burnt by getting my hopes up for Ken's Rage 2, possibly one of the worst games I've played this gen, so i'm going to wait and see.

Truth be told, I'm actually more excited over the upcoming DBZ game. I mean we have a new developer with a better track record than Spike, a unique battle royale style of gameplay allowing a maximum of 8 players in a battle and co-op, what-if scenarios, and a development period of two years, which DBZ games haven't had the luxury of in ages(if ever).

For the first time in forever, the chances of a Dragon Ball game turning out crap has been much, much less. There's still reason to be cautious, but after giving up on Spike and not bothering with all those rushed cash-in they've been dishing out, it's nice to finally see a little light over the horizon, with the length of development time being the most unexpected and best news of all.

i thoroughly enjoyed the demo even though it looked like it was set on the easiest difficulty. i can't say what's different from the first because i didn't play it.

i think i might get this

These stages are big, and I like how Gear Second is one of those R1 Style Action moves instead of being a super.

Marineford was one big hectic stage during story mode. All those grunts and past enemies showing up.

Also, I have given a name to my pain, and that is Perona's Voice.

Oh, and Aoikiji is crazy OP. His second super clears a whole area.

have you tried online? i was wondering if you get disconnected after every battle

Yeah, just like in the first game, it ends the session right afterwards. You have to set up a new match and reinvite your buddy if you want to play with them again.

that's a bit of a bummer

Indeed. A series with camaraderie being one of its key themes has a line of video games with the distinct feature of booting off and separating you and your friends from having more fun together. How ironic.
