LoS is well and truly dead, as it deserves to be.

Which leaves us utterly without any active Castlevania game franchise of any kind in any shape or form.

Yay.

Not really sure that's a victory.
I'd rather have bad Castlevania than no Castlevania.
So if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna relive some teenage memories and go play Curse of Darkness.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

I'd rather have it die in dignity or kept alive by fans and IGA (sort-of, via Bloodstained), than butchered and violated.

Eh. Agree to disagree. But while Lords 2 is an outstandingly visible extreme, the historical basis is that "bad" Castlevanias haven't really tended to be that bad. So I will shrug.

A few days ago Konami released a mini album in advance of the pachislot release, features arrangements of the 3 classic castlevania tracks and divine bloodlines.

My boy Takeshi Kuramochi did it again, he delivered an awesome Bloody Tears

The irony of a LoS pachislot having classic songs when LoS only had super heavy orchestral arrangements and most of them were barely recognizable from the originals.

A shame they didn't remix a few tracks from LoS! (Belmont's Theme, Waterfalls, Final Battle, Hunting Path, The Warg, etc.)

Honestly, The pachislot games abuse my weakness to kick-ass re-arrangements.

Also, in the last pachislot, I just noticed Richter using the Combat Cross, even If the CGI in that one was godawful

It's really strange how even something so fundamentally bad like these pachislot games have one or two good things in it, like the re-arrangements, new songs and yes, the Combat Cross. I actually like that weapon, even though I think the rest of Lords of Shadows is massive schlock.

Does that mean https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12539573/1/Eight-Arms-to-Hold-You is more schlocky than LoS, or would you say it's par for the course in terms of LoS's schlock levels?

Well, it has Gabriel dying in it, so by that virtue alone, it is already better than LoS.

Huh, La domanda actually sounds pretty nice. I'll... wait for a "friend". Yeah.
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

You are now reading this in Robert Belgrade's voice.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

That last wallpaper better break the goddamn universe or something considering Konami is taking forever to post it.
