I don't know why we didn't get Namco x Capcom. It's a billion times better than Cross Edge. Cross Edge is like halfway between Chaos Wars and Namco I'd say.
Based on gameplay, Cross Edge looks like a glorified Enchanted Arms. Namco X Capcom looks interesting because of all the characters but why is it so good? Is it the story?
I'll admit it, I got my ass kicked by the Prinny fight. Apparently, many have.
But upon reloading, you get this nice error message upon loading a save:
'A file without an access license has been detected'
It may look like it won't go away, but press X about 20 times and it will work. Apparently an alternative method is to quit the game completely, reload, go in to load the game and it will be fine.
But NISA...NISA...what the hell, seriously? I thought we've been through this with AT2...
Got my primary characters up to around level 40 at the moment. Got some in the top 100 or so for ranking right now in terms of stats and combo damage (as well as max damage).
I will say that the higher-up reviewers are taking a dump on it though. 3.5, IGN? Guess they got their ass kicked by a Prinny too...
That or it's too broad of a battle system for them to grasp. Can't have 'mash A' RPGs all the time...
It's pretty funny how different the reviews can be between two people. Cross Edge gets smashed by one person by having a ton of stuff to learn. Knights in the Nightmare gets praised for the same thing.
