I'd like Alucard to have a short Wingsmash as a martial art. But after giving him +1 versions of Kaiser Knuckles, Valmanway, and the Alucard Sword, I don't expect much else for him. Maybe that elusive Shield Rod if anything.

Still haven't got this game, on account of too many good games lately. Should I? The demo made it seem too God of War-ish, and God knows how tired I am of that game.

PFFT!

I put more effort washing plates at my job than pirating (aside from the fact that I get money for that).  You'll be ok.

Get it. It's great.

On another note, HYYYYYYYYPE!

That trailer was awesome. I really love the art style for this game, the one they use in these trailers and the character profiles.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

So..what kind of demon/monster will Gabriel be fighting now? Will the monster be based on an existing CV character (Because I like this sort of cameos).

We dont know. But we know it's an evil far greater than the Lords of Shadow, that apparently Carmilla was keeping in check.

Lol, the one of the Castlevania Dungeons forum members made this hillarious quote:

Quote
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

I want to see Slogra and Gaibon. I want them to be as awesome as in SCIV, as well.

The only thing Carmilla was keeping in check was Dr. Frankenstein...wasn't she?
Seeing S and G would be awesome too. For some reason I keep expecting Galamoth...dunno why

She wasnt keeping him in check, she was keeping him prisoner to pay for his horrible experiments.

She WAS however, apparently keeping some evil contained in the castle.

Im going to guess either Galamoth or some form of Chaos.

Its funny, most people have been speculating Galamoth.

I honestly dont think Slogra and Gaibon really have the magnitude to be great evils which would require Gabriel to become a vampire in order to defeat.

I think myself it might be chaos. it makes sense, we already know that the Vampire castle IS alive, just like Castlevania in the IGAverse.

I thik either Galamoth, Chaos, or Legion, or some semblance of them therof.

I do not think Flash will agree with that.

Flash, if you thought the demo was too GoW, then the full game ain't going to feel too much different.

It's Death
Somehow I don't really think so either. Dunno, but considering that Satan double crossed him, he should have no real qualm with Gabriel anymore. There is no more God Mask, and it never was the device that Death OR Satan thought it was, and we see some thousands of years later, Zobek is back to recruit Gabriel against Satan and his rising army again. If anything, he would just sit back and watch, much like he has done throughout the whole game.

Lets also remember that there is a time machine involved in Reverie.

I do not think Flash will agree with that.

Flash, if you thought the demo was too GoW, then the full game ain't going to feel too much different.
Flash, I recommend watching some playthroughs. I dont know where the demo stops, so id say somewhere after that.

or hell, considering you pirate it, just pirate it, and if you dont like it, well, no money lost. :P

This is definitely one of those games where your mileage may vary. I personally enjoyed it more than God of War.

I honestly dont think Slogra and Gaibon really have the magnitude to be great evils which would require Gabriel to become a vampire in order to defeat.
I didn't mean as the main focus of the DLC, I meant as enemies/sub-bosses. Preferably sub-bosses.

As for the main focus, I'm leaning towards Galamoth or Legion to be perfectly honest. I don't really see Chaos as an option here.

I honestly don't know. See, what I don't like in God of War, is that the game keeps throwing nonstop action at me, but the combos and gameplay never really change. Honestly? I just want some interesting enemies to fight, a decent amount of cutscenes to keep me occupied with a halfassed story, decent enough gameplay to be responsive, and characters that don't make me slap my face in fury.

In that case, then you might like it. It is fairly action packed, but it DOES have some nice platforming. Unlike GoW, it is not just a hack'nslash. It has platforming elements to it. For ever large GoW style fight, there is a few platformer parts.
And there is definitely more of a story to the game than GoW. Especially towards the middle -> end. (in fact, thats where the game as a whole seems to pick up the pace... weird...)

I don't really see Chaos as an option here.
Ah yeah I guess sub bosses works.

Really? How so?

if anything, both Chaos AND legion might not apply, as the trailer refers to a demon, as "him", identifying one single entity. Legion would be an "it". Although knowing how LoS is basically reinventing everything, enemies included, it would not surprise me if the demon alluded to, was the one the Bernhards made the pact with, turning the castle into a living magical entity.

And he might be named Chaos.
or not.

I'll definetly try it out, then. The game itself looks quite interesting.

If you can get past the fact that it isnt metroidvania or any semblance of IGAvania thereof, you'll be fine.
