Except that, like I've stated before, MM9 & MM10 only cost a Hamilton each. They are not a $30 UMD game, nor a $50 console game. They are cheap downloadable games, and after all the DLC is said and done in both of those games, you are still paying less for the "right" than you did with MHX & MMPU. Going back to the sammich analogy, that's literally like complaining that you pay for all the little fixin's that you continue to put on the sammich and still wind up paying less for the sammich that tastes just as good, if not better, than going to a sammich place that doesn't charge you for the fixin's, but you still wind up paying more for.

Hell, lets use the Lexus analogy in this case as well. LOL, if MHX & MMPU are Lexus games, then MM9 & MM10 are Toyota games. Despite what you pay for the extra add-on's in a Toyota (and just to be clear, harder difficulty, Playable Blues & Forte, extra stages are just extra add-on's in an 8-Bit MM game) you are still paying less for that Toyota than you are for a Lexus, because Lexus' (or Lexii ) are more expensive Toyota's. In fact, you are paying less for these particular Toyota's and all its add-on's, than you paid for a Toyota 15-20 years ago that had little to none of these add-on's at all.

I still dont qite GET the whole idea of having to pay for DLC that isnt even DLC. Its "UC"; "unlockable content" You are buying something that is already included in the game you bough, but locked until you purchase it separately. Why? Having to pay just to unlock something already in the game, just seems messed up, regardless of costs.

I am a mod. The RPM Purifier title doesn't exist anymore, but Ares and I still have mod powers.

I thought there was somethin' fishy goin on. When did the rank go away? I could have sworn it still existed not too long ago...

Well the console example is fine, but not exactly accurate. because while all cars can take you where you want to go, (style and preferences aside, the basic machine itself-) not all consoles have the same games. Which is why Multi console releases are so great, but dont always happen.

Also, it does depend on DLC. Though something that often bothers me a bit, and it was mentoned here already, but ill say it again, is when that "DLC" is really already in the game and you are pretty much just paying to unlock it.

Pretty much this.


it SHOULD be just a way to add extra things to an already full and finished game, but it is mostly used to sell unfinished games and then sell you material that should have been in there from the start.

Well at least the game itself is complete even without DLC. DLC can only expand on ideas. (and add nice bonuses)

BTW, am I the only one who would find it cool to see the 3Dvania characters used in 2d styled games? Just for novelty value if anything, to see some of the quirks they had in 3D translated to the 2D formula

Posted on: January 01, 2011, 04:02:00haha, anyone put in the konami code yet? It gives you an 8 bit simon sprite above your light magic meter, and a cheat menu at the extras screen. But the game doesnt save while you have any cheats turned on

He might be, therefore he is? That's flawed logic. He could be the start of the clan. I don't think he would be, though. His beloved was already dead, and Gabe didn't seem to be the one to snog some other broad. They could've had one beforehand, but I don't know.

Then again, there might not even be a Belmont clan in this continuity.

The same could be said of Leon. He loved Sarah dearly, and due to mathias' machinations, she had to die by his own hands, and yet he had himself some family regardless.

Gabriel grieves, and later starts over. Its quite possible. Also, all because he is a Belmont in "name only" honestly has very little significance. he is this continuities Belmont. and if he has family and kids down the line, he would be the founder of the Belmont clan.

you seem to be basing the idea "he's only a Belmont by name" due to the fact that he is of Cronqvist blood, and that compared to the Belmonts of the other continuity, he would NOT be a Belmont. However, the other Belmonts dont exist here, and as far as names go, the Cronqvists are likely insignificant here, probably only for the link to LoI having a Cronqist that eventually becomes Dracula. He himself named himself that due to his love of mountains. He is the first Belmont of the LoS universe.

So you'd want it to be like the DS version, where the announcer voice is distorted and evil sounding.

it still prolly wouldnt raise the difficulty by THAT much... and even then, that doesnt account for the other bosses. I mean, the bosses are really fun. And yet, so easy...

WHOA what a game.  And what a plot twist ending. I know they are coming out with that DLC pack that expands the story past the final level, but I wonder how hey will handle possible sequels, considering that Gabriel Belmont becomes Dracula? Its pretty interesting to note as well, the fact that Gabe himself is actually a Cronqvist. Not that that has much significance in a reboot, but we all know that  Cronqvist is the one who became Dracula in the other continuity.
Also, WHEN does this occur? And how? is it a result of the Devil mask? Does Gabe become a Lord of Shadow himself? This really makes you wonder how it will affect any Belmont family seen hereafter.

Also, funnily enough, it has done what IGA himself wanted to avoid at all costs. (Resulting in his striking Sonia's game from his timeline due to the Alucard/Trevor thing) Linking the Belmonts and the Draculas.

Cant wait for DLC and/or any possible sequels.

Just a thought, but is it just me, or do the bosses feel way too easy? just maybe 2-3 hits tops, easy? Even the final boss was [acid burst] easy.

And yet there was a Megabuster achievement on that achievement's page?

Anyway, I dont mind. He's had his fighting game appearances.  X deserves some love. (even though we know he isnt in it either- Though he COULD be DLC... I wish...)

I beat the game. Honestly, the game really cant be described by anything but "delightful".

Sonic's new voice takes a little getting used to at first, but it grows on you. (Tail's fits right in that's for sure)

(click to show/hide)

I find it odd that for Eggman's final Mech, that Frenzy lookin' one- his wisp attacks use SONIC's wisp activation voice... I would expect it to be EGGMAN's voice calling them out, not Sonic's... Also- Baldy mc Nosehair is probably the BEST Eggman nickname EVER. Also- EGGMAN AS THE ACTUAL FINAL BOSS? WHAT BLASPHEMY IS THIS!?

I guess its all down to personal opinion and what makes a castlevania game to you. From what I remember, in 3, you didnt actually start in the castle but outside of it, and you had to journey to it. And I think maybe 1 or 2 more of the classic ones didnt either. Not sure right now. Now, when we started with metroidvania, thats when it became only about the castle and no real stages outside of it...

Though, il agree the first half of it was really different than classic castlevania, although the intro stage was pretty castlevania. Nothin' better to start off a Castlevania game than a village under attack by werewolves under a rainy full moon.

though the sheer amount of nods to castlevania lore and characters is amazing. I mean, they really went all out with that.

So yeah. Im REALLY not seeing how people say this "isnt castlevania" Come on. youve got a journey to a castle, a village overun by vampires and ghouls, castle sewers, then the various areas of the castle itself.

(click to show/hide)

I mean, theres even a CLOCK TOWER. And the the way up to Carmilla's room is SO typical "Dracula staircase climb to the throne room" This game is if anything, more like CLASSICvanias, in that it is pretty linear. So i dont get what people are whining about. Just prolly butthurt that theres no pretty bishounens or metroidvania gameplay.
