hey if people like it, then that's their opinion. I get harrassed, ridiculed and flame baited for praising CVHD here, so slap those people for doing what you dont wanna see here.
I just know Im not that hyper a fan of classicvanias (CV2 level design style formula, is really the one that has the most potential to me, rivaling even IGAvania format). like if even I'm tired of Double Dragon IV, despite how awesome the extra playable characters made it the greatest Double Dragon ever to me, I dunno how long COTM would hold interest.
from what I seen, COTM looks to be epic, and I read someone pointed out in a first stage, there is a secret that only another character can access, so it is seems all characters will be playable in all stages after they are unlocked it seems. so that #1 concern about the game seems to be addressed.
though yea, not sure how much I would like it. well there's nothing to buy until like around August anyways, so $10 is no big deal, not sure. I'll check on its spectrum of unlockables and incentives post launch to get a better idea how enticing it is. chances are I might play it anyways.
COTM is a clever start to get more people confident in ROTN's release and hype in 2018. it can make a decent appetizer.
yea COTM can help strengthen the ROTN hype and the Bloodstained brand can get even greater reception when ROTN releases. which can then become a dedicated franchise.
