[PS4] Guilty Gear Strive $69 + Shipping @ Mighty Ape via Dick Smith

Game has been out a week now and holy crap is it one of the best fighting games released in years. I highly, highly recommend people get into it.

The music alone is just fucking amazing, the art style is pretty much the new pinnacle, the story mode is basically a full anime TV series, the netcode is perfect with rollback so playing with people in EU or USA is like playing on the couch next to you. Gameplay's been pretty re-worked too from previous entries and is much much more beginner friendly but with mega depth to what you can do with advanced techniques.

Online floor system also seems to just do perfect matchmaking with people of similar ability. Every match-up I've had has been close, often it'll go 2 wins 1 loss, or 1 win 2 losses. Very very even match ups and I'm someone who tends to shy away from online - but this is just excellent.

Anyway:

A brand new game in the Guilty Gear series, dedicated to all fighting game fans and all players.

The series’ charismatic characters have been completely renewed and many new characters join the cast.

The gameplay has been reworked from previous games. It remains an easy-to-understand system while it is still really deep when you want to master it.

It also features numerous rock songs composed by Daisuke Ishiwatari, and a story mode longer than a movie, designed not only for Guilty Gear fans, but also anime fans.

• Easy to understand, deeper fighting system than ever.

• BGM and vocal songs by Daisuke Ishiwatari, making for breathtaking battles. Most songs are completely new.

• Comfortable online play with “rollback netcode” (this is the best way to play a fighting game online without having lag between two players because it simulates a local versus by correcting imputs errors without players noticing it)

• Plan to release DLC characters regularly to sustain the life of the game
