I think the idea of Simon and Alucard being the same character is...sort of neat. It can go either way for me, we won't know until Thursday though. If the game truly is like ReBirth, I hope there are a lot of levels and abundant platforming full of secrets and alternating paths.

I'm still going to miss pork chops in the walls.

I think it's kind of cool as well, but what I don't like is how these rumors are debunking each other.

MoF: You're going to play as Simon and Alucard, both with whips.

LoS2: Simon is Alucard.

So which one is true!?!?

I'm keeping everything under my hat for now, but I'm not regarding any of them as the truth. These recent rumors just fit in nicely with the first ones I posted on here from the original leaker.

Only 3 days left gentlemen.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

No.
Only something that sounds like "WAAAA...IT'S A BAD IDEA LIKE FROM CHILDREN FANFICTION, IT SHOULDN'T EXIST AND i AM GONNA STRANGLE ONES WHO CREATED IT" and all of this about RUMORS that wasn't even confirmed and even, if they are true we don't know a bit about how those ideas were executed.

Funny thing is, I have seen you act like a jerk towards someone simply because they voice their dislike for Cox and his games.

It did not matter if they said it in a civil manner or in the manner which you described, it just seems that any opinion that is negative towards cox you deem "bitchy" and feel the need to challenge.

Hell, I'm a fan of IGA and I have seen PLENTY of IGA bashing around here (most of which are from you) and yet I don't belittle your opinion or try to challenge it at every turn.

Infact, the only time we ever get into these kinds of discussions is because you come at me.

Like I said, I could go around calling the people who praise Cox and LOS mere "ass kissers" for their constant suck up, but I realize that its their OPINION and me being a jerk to them is not going to change that.

It would seem that not everyone shares that same restraint...

If they are the same person maybe it will be explained why. Like what if they start out as two different people and some random spell comes and makes them fuse or something? Finally at the end they break the spell and become two people again.

Like in Dragon Ball Z? Simon Belmont and Alucard merge to become... SIMUCARD!

Taht's brilliant!! +1 for you DwagonSlayr

Genius. And the voice actors could talk at the same time too.

personally, and i may be alone in this. but if these rumors pan out i am all for it. the concepts of a 2d game but more styled like lords sounds awesome. sign me up for atleast 2 copies lol.

That's what made me kind of nervous, when I heard that it will be LoS combat in a 2D game. The first thing that came to mind was Bloodrayne Betrayal, and (I don't think anyone else agrees, but) I hope the combat doesn't turn out too similar to that. I don't think it was a bad game or anything, but I just couldn't get into it for whatever reason. I hope it's not too combo-centric, is what I mean, I suppose.

Likewise, and it's not a good thing.

If it makes you both feel any better (or wose depending on your take on it), the leaker best describes MoF's combat is similar to that of a "2D Tales of game.' He didn't say which 2D Tales of game though.

[DragonSlayr81]

That's what I don't care about regarding the idea of 2D combo, in Bloodrayne Betrayal, you had lots of moments of "Why don't you just DIE already?!!!!" where you have to spam combos just to take out normal enemies. It was one of the things a lot of people disliked about LoS(normal enemies that take forever to kill). I can't see it being a beneficial trait unless they focus on that with bosses only, and keep normal enemies short and sweet(easy to kill in just a few hits).

My knowledge of the Tales games is very limited, so I have no idea whether to be relieved or worried about this.

[Sumac]

Death threats? oh, wow..it seems you have some very bad thoughts in your mind and only assume the worst. I am not violent.

Death threats or pain threats, it doesn't matter what it is. In the end it is a threat over video game fictional characters. It is neverthless idiotic and the lowest level of fanboism one can fall.

Funny thing is, I have seen you act like a jerk towards someone simply because they voice their dislike for Cox and his games.

I believe I had a reason to act that way. Or maybe you once again read my posts differently.

And by the same margin I could call people praising IGA "IGA-asskissers", but I saw this kind of attidute mainly from LOS-haters.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

And by the same margin I could call people praising IGA "IGA-asskissers", but I saw this kind of attidute mainly from LOS-haters.

But the thing is, I don't praise IGA constantly nor do I see others doing so.

I myself am able to see the faults in IGA and his games and have even admitted it.

The things is, I only see the constant "praise" on the LOS side who loves to bash IGA in 90% of their post and praise Cox and LOS.

So its not "praise" when you can see the faults and criticize the person in questions game.

But you on the other hand seem to like any and everything Cox does...

I honestly can not remember a time when I have ever seen you voice your dislike for something Cox and his team have done.

Even some of the most avid supporters of LOS have SOMETHING that they did not like whether it was minimal or major.

And you could be seen as a person with very little meat to their argument if all you can call a person is an "IGA-asskisser" or a
Cox-asskisser". But please, go right ahead. I love it when people use those as blanket-terms when they don't have a good retort for a well-written argument against either man's style of game-making.

I should make badges.

Jeez people, whatever happened to the wait-and-see approach? After all, bad ideas could still be saved by a good enough execution (and in this case, it better be damn good)...
>Tales-style combat
...as good ideas could still be ruined by bad execution.
(...What? I'm a fan of the Tales series, okay?)
