Guilty Gear X2 #Reload: A Call to Arms
Dead Movie Star | 12:30 PM on 08.19.2008 28 comments



Guilty Gear is easily my favorite fighting franchise of all time. Additionally and quite redundantly, it is the greatest fighting series ever devised. I see absolutely nothing wrong with Guilty Gear; the unique characters, over-the-top fighting, the lesbian pirates... and let's face it, everyone is totally gay for Bridget.

Needless to say, I was disappointed when I hopped on Xbox Live for Guilty Gear X2 #Reload. No one was there. No one. Not even Jackie. Was everyone playing Accent Core? But what is wrong with #Reload (besides being impossible to find)?

And so I am asking, nay, pleading everyone to buy #Reload off XBLA. Download it, love it, rip off your shirt when you play it. Hopefully enough Dtoiders will buy it so that we can set up a really sketchy FNF or just kick each others asses on a regular basis.

Already have it or plan to get it? Drop me a friend invite: Goei5.


(The XBLA version of #Reload has some graphical issues, but they are only noticeable if you stop trying to kill your opponent or slow down and look for them)

Good luck finding it. My local retailers have some sort of Guilty Gear hate.

Yeah, I wanted to buy it so so bad, but I figured people wouldn't give it enough love.

Dude, seconded. I was gonna sell my copy of GGX2 since I have Accent Core, and was considering then getting #Reload to replace it. But I'll have to get it now!

#Reload had a lot of broken aspects, which is why there's probably not a lot of people playing it. Slash and of course Accent Core have since fixed of a lot of the glaring balance issues that were in #Reload.

Of course AC still needs hardcore balancing, but it's not as bad.

Oh I know, it looks a fair amount nicer than the PS2 version. But sometimes you've just got to settle for less I suppose.

That is unless you want to pick up a used Xbox at Gamestop as well. Which actually wouldn't be too bad, what are they, $50 now?

I got a hard copy of GG. Does it do cross... whatever-play between people who bought it on XBLA and people who have it on disc? That'd be cool.

Also, where did you get that Alien Hominid figure (if you do own it)? ------->

I think it would work, but I am not sure. Maybe we should try it out wink wink.

Yeah, the Xbox originals is just like having the disc only it's on your hard drive.

Oh, well at least you've already got it beat. I was worried for a second there that you hadn't got the chance to play it at all.

Wait, wait... if an original xbox game is bc, the online component doesn't work does it?

I'll send you a request later this week to see if it works. I'll tell you this, I'm shit at the game. I was decent a few months ago when I was working my way through all the stories, but now I'd forgotten every combo I'd mastered.

the reason nobody is playing it online is because the game sucks balls online, duh.

It's still fun to do once in a while. As long as the connection is good then the game is bearable.

I picked this up a couple of months ago but never played more than a couple of laggy matches online. I am up for a couple of matches for a FNF or something if it happens.

100% Agree. Trying to pull off a Millia FRC combo and then having a lag spike hit is the worst thing in the world. Aksys/Team Sega needs to perfect their online for fighters before giving it another shot.

I have had the Xbox hard copy for the longest time and was also very disappointed by the lack of people on Live for the game. So I guess I'll be adding you soon.

And any others that want to get their GG on, add me: GenkiJAM

I would if I had
a) an Xbox 360
b) Xbox Live
c) a copy of the game
I don't have any of these so I can't join the apparently 2 people who are on.
