Gaming / Re: Castlevania

« on: December 27, 2010, 05:20:41 AM »

So I finally got Lords of Shadow. It is really fun, and I have to agree with the Game overthinker on this one.

"Doesn't feel like Castlevania"? What? Really? How? Feels like Castlevania to me!
like he said-

The question has always been "will it feel like Castlevania," and from this the answer looks like "yes!" to me - I see a vaugely medieval European setting, I see classic gothic-horror imagery, I see an improbably elaborate castle and I see a Belmont wailing on stuff with a whip - that's Castlevania, as far as I'm concerned.

It's really fun too. Amazing. I LOVE the way whipping feels. That small little slowdown when a strong attack hits, along with the rumble, feels real satisfying. Physics feels good, rather realistic when Gabe jumps, the spiders... Nothin quite like whippin' your worst fears!

Actually, only real complaint is 3 things.

1. The manual- seriously, what the [tornado fang]? its so lacking. Back in MY day, manuals told more than just the control scheme. Its so lacking. Not to mention is incorrectly labeled the main attack button as the jump button. (On the 360)

2. when you mount something to either "tame" it or finish it, those rings appear and you have to press any button when they converge. Game doesnt do ANYTHING to indicate that. I had to fight the swamp troll almost 5 times before I finally managed to realize what I was supposed to do.

I suppose they thought it was obvious enough.

and
3. The game is made under the assumption that everyone playing it has a nice and large LCD TV. Thus those of us with older televisons have to squint our eyes out of our heads to read any of that damn Medieval Gothic-ish font. Its a real pain, specifically when reading scrolls or trying to buy skills. GOD DAMN, I can barely read it... Thank God Patric Stewart voices over the beginning of each chapter, or I wouldnt be able to read what's going on.

Those are the only complaints.

I tend to do alright online with combos. But then again, I use almost predominantly Zero, who is easy to combo with... And Karas as backup, pretty much just spamming him to make time for Zero's red bar to fill up.

Morder and Dan reached the tower at the highest point of the top floor. From the top of the tower they could see the staircase leading up to the large circular throne room. There was still one more challenge before they could finally confront Afro.

As they approached the wrought iron doors of the tower, so intricately engraved and inset with designs of demons and skulls, the doors opened outward, creaking slowly as they did so.

The duo entered, and went up a small flight of pitch black marble steps. The area was dark. They reached another pair of doors, which opened as well. They entered, and torches lit up around the room. There was a star design on the floor, with strange symbols surrounding it. The walls were pitch black, as if there were no walls. Chains hung down, reaching high up into the darkness, all around the room. The whole room seemed almost like an endless darkness, the floor itself dissolving into the black... opposite from the entrance, sat Death himself, upon a throne of bones and skulls. In front of him, he had a crystal ball upon a pillar.

As they entered, the doors closed behind them. Down from the blackness above swooped down a Slogra and Gaibon, at Death's side. From below the throne, came a growling sound, and 3 sets of red evil eyes were visible.

"Ahahahahaha!" Death cackled in a demonic deep voice, with deep reverberations.

"Its... Been a while, Death... I see you never loose your pale boney complexion.", Dan mockingly said.

"thou can do nothing to myself in thy current form, mere machine... Or should I say, former machine...  By HIS orders, thou shall  BOTH meet your end- And forfeit your souls to the hellfire enshrined within Lord Dracula!"

"We'll see about that, foul aberration." Morder quipped back.
((Pretend death doesnt recognize him for now- and sorry for putting words in his mouth... couldnt help myself. ))

((what say

THIS

as the battle theme with Death and his 3 (or would Cerberus count as 3 itself and therefore it be 6?))

X / Re: What took them so long to destroy the Virus?

« on: December 26, 2010, 05:39:28 AM »

The Sigma Virus plot was sort of resolved oustide the X series yet I have to wonder in the real world. a programmer would had already found out how to get rid of a virus and make ways to eliminate. Even if you aren't a programmer, you could had always used the internet to find out how to stop it or have a powerful antivirus program to stop it but why did it take so long as it did to stop the Sigma Virus? Wouldn't the technology had been able to catch to X and Zero eventually?

Do you even know what your talking about?

Duo does fit right in however what about that other robot in Mega Man 8? Whatever happened to him? Anyway, I wonder how they intedn to implement all this Mega Man series into this one Universe?

He died clashing with Duo. And even Duo only survived because Rock brought him to Light to repair. Wily instead just took the power source from the other robot's remains.

"Lets go Dan!" Morder called out to Dan as the cursed robot finished slaying a gigantic Armor knight.

Duo really does fit right into the X series. Especially with those purifying powers of his. if it works on Evil Energy, then I couldnt see why it wouldnt work on Sigma Virus. They are both programs with energy bodies.

((Nope, I totally missed it. Hmm. Reminds me of Walter and the seal to the Pagoda of the Misty Moon requiring the defeat of the other bosses... So where is this Lisa bathing? To be quite honest, id like to keep Dan and Morder separate from the other party. Particularly Mirby/Talyn Alucard, and Blackbbeard... yknow, anyone who would recognize Morder as Flame and possibly attack him. >.> tryin' to save the big reveal as "ZOMG ITS FLAME" for Afro... Unless we can play it off as general secret identity cluelessness. AKA the way Clark Kent gets away behind hiding behind a pair of glasses and a slouch. In any case then, i can always retcon the two having reached the top floor and have them instead enter another part of the castle. Just say the word, and "word of God" retons everything.

... Always wanted to say that. ))

Marino would be thief type I guess. Either that or Melee. And yeah I suppose. Though its still awesome to see Duo getting some awesome action.

Lol, I can get where he's coming from though. X doesn't get enough love from Cappy.

But like Fence said, its a pretty accurate description of their battle types. Tank, melee, mid range healer, and ranged.

Cinnamon herself is a melee fighter when she isn't healing. But since she's primarily a healing type, her ideal position would be just where she is. Mid range. Close enough to get up close and personal if she needs to, but far back enough to be able to heal from a distance.

Well, we have seen Zero with an X coloration already.  I'm sure the only other reps would be Black, Nightmare, or Absolute.

Probably not absolute. Actually, id put my money in

Black Armor, Nightmare Zero, Bandai Black Zero. (AKA the Black armor they used in TVC)
