Finally, a fighting game on GOG.com! And not just any fighting game, but Guilty Gear X2 Reload, the best version of the very best game of its kind for the PC!

In the age of 3D fighting games Guilty Gear X2 proves that 2D ain't dead yet. Featuring complex fighting mechanics, extremely appealing, colorful visuals, over 20 characters, many gameplay modes, and a lot of moves and combos, this game won't disappoint any fan of the genre.
The characters are by far the most prominent of Guilty Gear's many features. This goes for the entire series and X2 is no exception. An insane surgeon with a huge scalpel and a paper bag on his head. An innocent-looking girl with two wings - an angel for one and the grim reaper for the other. A cute pirate girl that fights using an anchor bigger than she is... If that's not unique, we don't know what is!
Because of its many distinctive qualities, and an over-the-top cast, the Guilty Gear spawned many Internet memes, most notably Bridget. Don't you think she's cute? If you don't know the correct answer yet, though, maybe it would be better if you don't find out.

Luisfius: So what is everyone's favorite track?

I can't decide between Holy Orders (Ky's theme), Writhe in Pain (Millia's theme) and Pride and Glory (Kliff's theme)

I have only two complaints about this game:

1: No Bang Shishigami

2: No Boobie Lady

Delixe: BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is also on the PC. Unfortunately it's a GFWL game.
Yes. Yes, it is. ;_;

amcdermo: Because some of us value gameplay over looks. The same reason why Nintendo games are so popular. Just because something is drawn in a colourful art style doesn't mean it's for children. Google 'Happy Tree Friends' if you dare.
Value gameplay over looks? Who's saying this doesn't have both? This game is both technically and artistically impressive. >_>

Chipp is a less HOT BLOODED! version of Bang, eh.

The same coule be said about Blazblue: No Faust/Baldhead analogue (he is my favorite character to use, hah), and the vampire that replaced Slayer is lame.
Valkenhayn redeems that though.

Instantly loses him several hundred billion points.

I guess BEEEES! err.. Arakune is the closest substitute for Faust.

And the only loli vampire I respect is Evangeline A.K. McDowell.

Arakune reminds me more of Eddie than Faust, though he does have elements of both. In any case, the lack of BOOBIE LADY is impossible to deny.

Foxhack: Well, this is the first time I've ever bought a GOG game at full price.

BE AFRAID.

kalirion: Heh, that was my thought about XIII last week :)
lol - I was going to buy XIII but then when they announced Guilty Gear X2 was 'coming soon' I held off and bought both today.

Oh wow! Could PC releases of Raiden 3 or Castle Shikigami 2 be far behind? Raptor fans could finally play a REAL shmup!

Yes, but not released outside Japan. Here's hoping!

Nobody is going to do new localizations for old games...

Raiden doesn't really have any text, I think. But Castle Shikigami does...

Wow! Just wow! A fighting game! I was looking for motivation to finish my arcade stick. This might hold me over till MK9 (probably not). I hate anime and it's over the top nature, but when it comes to fighting games I just deal with it. After all how could I pass Vampire Savior or Tekken?

Raiden 3 wouldn't need a translation, although the Castle Shikigami games couldn't be done.

That said, didn't Raiden DX (compilation of 1 and 2) get an English PC port? That could be possible.

Merchito: Happy for those it makes happy!
Though from my humble point of view, I remain clueless at how games looking like that could appeal to people above 8 years old. Apparently, that's just me who doesn't get it :)

Cute :)
Please friend, don't feel offended. It's probably simply a matter of personal cultural universe. I do value gameplay waaaaay before looks, believe me (imagine, I still play the SSI D&D games in 2011, and can still fall in love with a 50 pixels built [url=http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~gordeon/ra_characters.html]Laura Bow[/url]). Anyway, I've never owned a console and care little for console-ports. That's probably the reason for my incomprehension.
Actually, I shouldn't have said anything about this game in the first place. I had no business commenting about it... Sorry.
