60 of 258 · most liked firsti want interviews with daisuke ishiwatari that entirely skips talking about fighting games and even music and gets straight to asking him how he'd make a sequel to Guilty Gear 2: Overture if he could talk arcsys into it cuz you fucking know he's thinking about it

In his hubris he decides that, having done minimal design for…

unlabelledView post →there are about 5 cool missions in this game - about 3 of those are fun. if we are being honest though, nobody is here to worry about that. we are here to admire valentine's absurdly hard fit, complete with giant hat and lucifero balloon, and to hear sol badguy say things like "heralds of destruction", "gear sublimation", and "ky, i want you to kiss me on the mouth". this game probably does need a better pc port, but whatever i'm mostly glad it got one at all.

unlabelledView post →GUILTY GEAR 2 -OVERTURE- is the most experimental and divisive entry in Arc System Works’ series. It abandons the traditional 2D fighting structure in favor of a hybrid between action combat and real-time strategy. Released during the Xbox 360 era, it was the first fully 3D Guilty Gear title and marked a radical shift from its roots. Gameplay combines hack-and-slash mechanics with territory control. Players command a single hero—such as Sol Badguy or Ky Kiske—while summoning units and…

unlabelledView post →Guilty Gear 2: Overture is an interesting experiment—mixing action, strategy, and the GG universe into something unique. The concept is good, but the execution feels a bit dated. If ArcSys had gone for a more stylish combat system like CyberConnect titles or Devil May Cry, this could’ve been a hidden gem. Still, it’s worth grabbing on sale, especially if you’re a fan of the series. I’d love to see a new installment that refines this idea—it has so much potential.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another thing I want to mention. Some folks already know that Ys 4 PS2 was primarily developed by Arc System Works. But what I found while doing hacking research was that the game uses some of the same file formats as Guilty Gear 2: Overture! There's also some pretty interesting leftover data...

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keep in mind GG2 was made in 2007 so it does show its age in game design and execution. That being said... the game is unique and sits in a very small selection of games I'm even aware about. That being a Hybrid Action RTS. Similar games would be Brutal Legend which launched 2 years after this and Kingdom Under Fire Crusaders/Heroes released 2/3 years before this. You play as a character on the field, opening your map-menu called the Organ to build and command your units. On the field is a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GUILTY GEAR 2 -OVERTURE- is one of the most unusual and divisive experiments in Arc System Works’ history, a game that boldly abandons nearly everything the series was known for at the time of its release. Instead of the tight, flashy 2D fighting that defined the franchise, Overture reimagines Guilty Gear as a hybrid of 3D hack-and-slash action and real-time strategy, placing players in sprawling battlefields where they must command troops, capture resource points, and personally join the fray…
