"Crossover: the game"

Much like i call Shadow of the colossus as "Boss battle: the game" because that seems the main concept behind it, Cross Edge would easily b called "Crossover: the game" and that might b what Cross in the title stands for.

Why? well (duh), because that seems to the main concept behind it. i mean look at the series this game will get characters from:
  • Atelier Marie characters
  • Mana-Khemia 2 characters
  • Darkstalkers characters
  • Disgaea characters
  • Ar Tonelico characters
  • Spectral Souls characters
  • Blazing Souls characters
I don't even know half of those, but the developers are: Capcom, Nippon Ichi, Namco Bandai, Gust, And Idea Factory

I've never seen such a thing, so many companies and series mixed up together. I'm surprised they didn't get Sammy's Guilty Gear characters in there as well, or maybe they asked and Sammy was wise enough to say "fuck off".

I think everyone knows my feelings about crossovers, they blow ass. The sheer concept is offensive to me, talking 2 different worlds and mixing them together isn't fun or interesting, it's destroying both of them!

Capcom Always loved doing this, mixing shit like the blandest main character ever (Ryu) with people like fucking Apocalypse from X-men, what happens? huge festering amount of bullshit! for the sake of gameplay, characters that should stand no chance against another one (like say, megaman VS magneto, magneto would literally tear megaman apart.) the "lore", so to speak, is shot out of the window and we get to see stuff that makes no fucking sense!

Like the video Jimmy pointed out. videogame logic is fucked up as it is, sometimes it's hard for it to make sense in it's own universe. When u mix several together, fuck it!

When all of the X-men in their universe have trouble dealing with magneto but u can throw in a sumo wrestler and he can beat the crap out of magneto, u know your doing something stupid and wrong!
