Really happy they're doing this instead of handling it like Exe:Late to Exe:Late[st] (buy it all again, lmao). Hopefully the eventual PC port of [cl-r] will do the same thing so the playerbase isn't further split.

Man, this is good news. Guilty Gear did the same thing with Rev2 so hopefully we're past charging full price for balance updates.

Titles like these make me wonder if some companies just don't want their games to sell properly.

Like No no Kuni. I love the Japanese language but this is not a title that will sell units in the west and now we have level 5 struggling even though these games are pretty good and perfect for kids and parents and their kids. I'm not a marketing expert but having a name that makes sense to other markets must be a millions times better than something that makes no sense whatsoever. I wonder how Professor Layton would sell if it were called Professor Layton: kinzoku no himitsu?

Awesome to hear! I avoided buying UNIST earlier this year because I figured they would not have an upgrade like this. I had a great time with the free weekend on Steam.

Now about that netcode...

Blink and it goes dark... Chase, and you cannot find... Follow a shadow, the owner disappears. How does it feel to lose to an opponent far superior to you? Humiliating...? Torturous...?

GGPO in Under Night is probably happening. Not at cl-r's launch, and maybe not until French-Bread's next entry, but their battle planner is very in tune with what the FGC wants from a netcode standpoint.

2D fighting games? They've got pretty devout communities. It's one thing to shit on the title (it's bad), but the games themselves are quite good.

I'll have to take your word for it. I tried to play a 2D fighter once but the weird controls and the fact you have to change them depending on which side you are was just alien to me.

This series in particular has a very in-depth and accessible tutorial mode that serves as an introduction to controlling 2D fighting games in general. I highly recommend it.

Fighting Game Tutorial Is Brutally Honest

Last week, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] (yes, that’s its real name) found its way to PlayStation 4. Despite working with a smaller budget, this obscure anime fighter does a much better job teaching newcomers about the genre than most major releases. Its greatest accomplishment, however, is...

This is actually a fair bit different. You still had to pay $20 to upgrade to Rev 2's balance changes and you could only play with Rev 1 people assuming people who owned 2 switched the toggle to Rev 1 in the settings.

This is a free balance patch that will put everyone who owns ST into Clr's balance and you can buy the extra stuff that comes with Clr separately as DLC. I assume doing it this way will allow everyone who owns ST to play with people who bought Clr and it doesn't segment the UNI player base like the Rev1/2 split further did.

Its always funny seeing people react to the title.

But looking beyond that its a fantastic game, one of the best modern fighting games out right now with a great community. Great time to jump in since the update is going to be free.

I remember buying [st] on Steam a week before [cr] was announced, and feeling a little bummed. But this definitely makes things a lot better if the eventual Steam release offers this as well!

Yea hoping the lack of a Steam/PC mention is just because it's usually ported a bit later.

I know it's dumb worry, but if the next announcement from them is about how great the Epic Games Store is I am gonna cry.

Arc System Works has been pretty consistent about staying on Steam. You don't need to worry about Epic swooping in. The audience for this is way too niche and way too set in their platforms of choice.

IS UP!

The game for people who don't own UNIST is $39.99, for the rest the full upgrade is $8.99 (The price for Londrekia) If you don't want to buy him, you still get all the balance changes for free

UNIEL is by far the most solid of all those anime style fighters, and more akin to something like Last Blade than the regular anime move spam fest. I rarely play it but I enjoy it when I do.

It's just that the west always tend to bash great Japanese games like this just because "they're weeby".

Just saying, I wouldn't let anyone judge me for certain games that I play. Heck, I've played Japanese games since I was small during the Arcade & NES days.

You called out America out of nowhere, that's what I was poking at you for. It was random.

I agree, who cares what you play as long as you enjoy it.

Hoping the update drops soon so I can lab Akatsuki's changes when I get home from work. Already bought the DLC bundle with the colors + Londrekia to support French Bread. I'm happy that they made the patch free they could have easily kept it as a standalone release only.
