Holy shit, it's above AC Odyssey? Damn.

Also, first critic reviews are in...

• Game Revolution - 4.5/5
• IGN - 8.9/10
• Destructoid - 8.5/10

Promising. I remember that SCV was in the 6 to 7.5 range, so it's good to hear that the series is rebounding here as well. Maybe it'll also show Namco the series is worth continued investment in.

Gamespot - 8/10

The score so far is 89 on Metacritic, which by today's standards is very high as critics tend to go hard on games. Granted, there's only 8 reviews so far but it's a sign of what's to come.

Anyone else feel really good now? Sales are looking like they'll be good, the game's getting praise, and all this good will is directed to it. Namco would be suicidal to give up on the series after this.

Okubo really did one hell of a job.

With Soulcalibur, I don't think sales have ever really been the issue.

Lord Okubo was sent out to die and he refused. Praise Lord Okubo.

Still top selling on Steam and great reviews? Season 2 DLC is looking real good.

 

[Nyte]

Okubo will be able to be proud knowing he was the man who saved the Tale of Souls and Swords.

 

[JohnMcKee]

I propose we all tweet him on Friday, just to thank him (without crying for characters). He deserves to know that everything he did is fucking appreciated by a community that lost hope in the future of their beloved game. He deserves our recognition.

And hopefully we'll get Soulcalibur VII with a bigger budget.

Look who's at the top of Steam's sales chart:

No offense for rdr fans in pc but this made me glad rdr2 isn't coming to pc (for now at least). Hope sc6 will do well in ps4 and Xbox too supposing if it's already doing good on pc.

I have a feeling this content will come fast

I doubt bamco wants to keep paying PS to work for another year even if it's a skeleton crew. I'm guessing a 6 month timeframe

What do you mean? Fighting games if they’re successful enough have a long life nowadays.

I got the game yesterday, today it downloaded an update. Yesterday psn was down. Dlc not available probably until Friday. One thing I don't like is forced playthrough with Kilik in the story mode before you can try anyone else. I understand he is one of the main characters, but I don't like him that much.
I appreciate the opportunity to see character personalities and interactions portrayed the way they chose to. Feels like you get to know them much better than in all of the previous games combined.
Also, Azwel is my 2nd fave now. He is such a great addition to the cast. I hope he is here to stay.

For the record, Mortal Kombat XL has a score of 85 on Metacritics.
For SC6 to perform as good as MKXL, this is very good to me!
