Topic: Enric Alvarez Interview

[Belmontoya]

Exactly.

It sold a lot because everyone was expecting a game sure to better than LOS1 which was good.

Then we cracked it open, got a few hours into it and realized it was bad.

All the large sales indicate is how many people got ripped off.

Another parallel with Batman VS Superman...

[piscesdreams]

I would imagine that the budget to profit ratio is something Alvarez is figuring into the equation. But like Belmontoya said, people got ripped off.  The BvS is a very good comparison.  Ghostbusters is another one.  I don't exactly see Konami rushing to make another Lords of Shadow.

"Enric Alvarez: No game is perfect, okay? We also had a lot of hate for the first Lords of Shadow. We received death threats in the studio."

LOL none of these were me I swear.

"The other relevant fact, and for me personally an important one, is gamers' feedback is essentially positive. Not from Castlevania hardcore long-time fans, because they hated us from the day we released the first Lords of Shadow."

Yeah no shit you stupid fuck.You take a nice big shit on a 30 year legacy with your retarded god of war clone, and got Dracula fighting terran marines from starcraft and shit. Fuck you pretentious waste of skin.

"Enric Alvarez: Sometimes, common sense is the less common of sense. We are in an age when anybody can post what he or she thinks on the internet, and that can be read by millions of people. This is good, in itself, and it's changing our society. But at the same time we need to be aware that just because someone says something, that is not the truth."

It is the truth when your game fucking sucks shit from a dead moose. You yourselves created your "shit storm" what the hell did you think was going to happen? You made three disgustingly shitty games and ruined a legendary franchise with your inability to create anything worthwhile. Go fuck yourself.

So when's that Contra reboot where we have Bill Rizer sneaking through Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory in order to save his long lost transgendered child named Lance but then Bill dies and becomes resurrected as an Oompa Loompa, so his transgendered child must seek out Bill inside the chocolate factory where they are secretly developing a cure for cancer but the aliens have showed up but the aliens are ninja turtles?

lol! Nice read first thing in the morning 

[SecretWeapon]

I still want Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 3: Founder's Curse though

[Kingshango]

Surprised Konami hasn't does a Lords of Shadow remastered collection yet.

If Konami couldn't care less enough to do even that, then they're truly done with gaming and Castlevania as a series is dead.

That sounds far more entertaining than the LoS games.

"Hey, should we remaster Lords of Shadow the same way we're remastering MGSV?"
"Lord, no. WE don't even want that."

LOS1 was to Castlevania what Mario 2 is to the Mario franchise.
But for what it's worth MoF can lick my balls.

[LuxKiller65]

Guys, hello guys? All the cursing and rude words aren't necessary. Games are bad enough think we can express ourselves in a more mature way

LOS1 was to Castlevania what Mario 2 is to the Mario franchise.

Interesting comparison. Although I was far, far more accepting of Mario 2 the LoS1.

No. Swearing can represent high amounts of anger. LoS angered me and a lot of other people

FUCK ENRIC ALVAREZ AND FUCK DAVID COX

Castlevania 3 was the first video game my 3 year old little shit hands ever played and I've been a huge fan of Castlevania ever since that day. Now look what it's become. Ruined a god damn 30 YEAR LEGACY in order to make a quick buck with their mediocre trailer trash series of games.

Thing about Mario 2 was that even when it was Doki Doki Panic, the devs still aimed it to be "Mario like."

Also glad they (MercurySteam) are not working on Metroid.  Not angry at MercurySteam, but just have a sense of ennui towards them.

[Belmontoya]

Hey Rugal what kind of drugs do you do?

LOL. You're hilarious dude!
