I mostly meant in regards to gameplay, immersion and aesthetic design rather than accessibility of use. It's near impossible to get a PS2 emulator working on some machines (namely Macs, but some PCs too).While you are correct, I cannot recommend SC3 to people unless they are willing to use a PS2 or an emulator.
With SC2, you can play on 360, ps3 or now XBOX One. And then the gamecube emulation seems to be the easiest and pain free of the standard def era of gaming.
I feel that the development philosophy going into SC2 is something we will never get again in a soulcalibur game.
So I love 6 for the revival that it is, but it's trying to compete in this esports, dlc, microtransaction streaming market. Whereas SC2 was a standalone package full of unlockable content and singleplayer modes. The great competitive aspect of it was the cherry on top, not the sole driving force.
I hope SCVII can bring us back to this approach with at least standard offline modes like survival, time attack, etc. Because unlockables don't seem to be something that will ever return.
