Quick Look: BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

Think this is intense? This is just the character select screen.

I'm so jacked that they're doing a QL for this. It'll be nice to see some extended gameplay, since I'm kind of on the fence about this one.

Ahhhhhhh. Blaz Blue confuses me to no end

BlazBlue is my favorite game this year (so far). The variety of the characters is what really makes the game shine :D

I am gonna be too excited after watching this because I can't have it. There were not enough copies of the game for Canada... wtf is up with that? :(

Maybe we will get some in a week.

Okay Quick Look. Just go watch some videos of the better players to get a good idea of the more high level skill usage, combos and what not.

Nice to see GB did a QL of this, was wondering if they would for the weeks coming up to the release.

this kinda sucked, seems like there may be some varied gameplay in this game, the fighting at the beginning looked cool, but the rest of the QL was kinda fail

Teach ME, boobie lady.

This game seems both ridiculous and awesome.

This game is so ridiculous.

I'm loving the broken engrish, though.

It does also seem... not good.

Also, great Quick Look, boys.

I would do a little more research than only looking at this QL before calling this game not good. Other sites are quite excited about this and the game is clocking 92 on Metacritic for the moment.

i want this game bad (and KOF12) but im european, and aparently we are lesser people :(

@murse2008: ...but I don't care what Metacritic says?

Did I really have to be more specific by saying "TO ME this game seems... not good"?

If it's appealing to you then go out and buy it.

Relax.

Jeff and Ryan are right, this game make no sense at all. That why I like it.
murse2008on July 3, 2009 at 10:17 a.m.
@Blair:  I'm fine with you not liking it,

what I was trying to say is that this type of game is usually quite divisive and anyone looking at it should gather a range of opinions before deciding to buy it or not.

The backgrounds look cool, and the characters seem original.  I also like that the powers are really varied, instead of all being cut from the same general move stock.  Looks like they were lazy with some of the clarity issues, though.

Not sure why they don't like the character design.  Some of the cutesy stuff jars a bit but it's a nice change of pace...

Story mode is lame, though :)
