Well, It originally was going to be much less of a twist, considering both DLC chapters were supposed to be part of the game, but Konami sort of twisted their balls for DLC content. So ww would have seen, in-game, Gabriel becoming a vampire and calling himself "The Dragon", and in the epologue, we would have seen that he became "Dracul", and seemingly was once very powerful, and somehow ended up in a church in modern day, all dried up. it would have been much less "WHAT A TWEEST" and much more "The [tornado fang] happened to him in between?"

I personally find LoS Dracula far more compelling than Classic Dracula.
This guy became a monster in the name of God, all for a bogus prophecy and a bogus payoff. He got played, and ended up being the death of his wife, and an innocent girl that was trying to help him.
Not to mention he discovers that by defeating said Lords from the prophecy, he weakened the seal they held over a powerful demon, requiring him to renounce his Humanity solely to be able to enter it's realm.
Sounds a lot more contrived in writing, but in-game, it works. he got manipulated and played by everyone around him, (EVERYONE) which led to his becoming the kind of things he hunted. (As well as a killer)
Hell, better than classic Dracula who's wife dies of Illness while he's away, and so because of something that happens to no doubt many people, loved ones who die while you are far away- he contrives a plan to become a vampire by using alchemy to steal a Vampire's soul, by [tornado fang]ing over his best friend and his Fiance. Then expecting him to be totally okay with him when offered immortality as well.
Then despite the overwhelming grief that it caused him, he re-marries anyway.
His rampage against Humanity for killing Lisa feels much more justified, but his origins are totally screwed.
As far as LoS1 goes, I personally felt plenty of classicvania influence within it. As far as derivative gameplay... the Titan battles are pretty blatant, yeah. The combat feels good though.
MoF definitely falls flat compared to it though. It's got plenty of problems, the biggest, (and possibly a contributor to it's framerate issues) is that it was developed as an HD console game, then scaled down for the 3DS. Second, it tries too hard to please critics of LoS by throwing classic elements in there, and suffers for it. The LoS gameplay just does not work well in 2D. Not NEARLY as well as it does in 3D. Thirdly, the story. It's fine in it's own right, and personally, the very obvious reveals are not a problem, they work, but the backwards gimmick for telling the story was just stupid. They could have told it in order and still left the big reveals for the last story.
On LoS2, I feel it will likely be pretty good. i hope MS doesn't fall into the same trap as MoF though, where the game was kind of over-hyped... LoS was really hyped up. Personally, I think it totally delivered. (well- except for the part where they tricked the audience into thinking Dracula would be a villain who says "DIE, BELMONT!", when it turned out to be an edit of a cutscene from the epilogue along with Satan's dialogue. ) MoF however, was hyped, and just sort of fell flat compared to what it could have been. (especially if it had been a console game) It will most likely play like LoS with added gimmicks, such as a sword to use, aside from the shadow whip, and whatever vampire powers MS gives you to use.

So My college has abandoned the old course registration Student info hub called esims, in favor of something called Cuny First.
I would just like to say how much i [tornado fang]ing hate Cuny First. It makes me want to pull my hair out in rage it's so damn unintuitive. And sometimes, it just plain doesnt [tornado fang]ing work at all.
[tornado fang] you Cuny Student info services. You had one job. ONE JOB. And you had to go and fix what wasn't broken.
I can't wait till they finish the transition and manage to make this thing work.

I have 2 of those red viewers. one is the common one, the other has a Mickey mouse faceplate on it. I think i only have 2 or 3 sets of the slides themselves, Disney all of em.
I remember hit clips. I never had one, but I remember those. Oh man.
I think I tried my cousin's Skip It once. Was actually pretty amusing. I don't think i ever actually owned any of those outside of the slide viewer thing, but I sure as [tornado fang] remember them all. (Especially Crossfire! CROSS FIAHHH)
They were on a article somewhere, and I felt the need to share the nostalgia.
Speaking of which, those Nostalgic commercials the NC did were pretty damn nostalgic, most of them.

X7's issues are few.
1. the level design is kind of bland and boring. this is most apparent in the 2D sections.
2. The characters feel kind of sluggish and slow. Dashing doesn't make you feel any faster.
3. The physics are broken on dash wall kicking, making it unusable. Also, knockdown. There was absolutely NO need for that.
4. Certain moves that work in 2D don't translate well to 3D, and vice versa.
5. Axl's gameplay. He really does feel like an X clone with a copy ability. He doesn't rapid fire by default either, (you need a turbo controller for that) so he's essentially X without a charge ability. His copy ability is also more trouble than it's worth. To it's credit though, you CAN actually gain abilities from most types of enemies, even if you do not transform into them. Something X8 discarded in favor of just a better functioning copy shot.
None of them are particularly game breaking, although together they make a sub-par game. Any Mega Man player worth their salt should have no problem with beating X7.

The Grumps seem to be pretty bad at some games. Sometimes it's [parasitic bomb] as simple as reading the instruction book, or actually listening to the in-game instructions. It IS pretty cringe worthy.
X7 comes to mind. It's bad, but it's not THAT bad. They are just sucking real bad at it.

« on: April 13, 2013, 05:09:10 PM »because only now can I honestly say, "I'd rather play XOver."Yeahno.
I must be incredibly accepting or something, because Castlevania: Lords of Shadow didn't bother me, (to the contrary, I loved it,) whereas half the fanbase erupted in outrage, and Maverick Hunter seems perfectly fine by me, even pretty enjoyable. (and visually appealing, despite the radical design change)
