Topic: These cutscenes in MOF make me not want to beat it..

And then bastardised in twilight 

Yeah. Damn that twilight. I had to renounce my open love for vampires when that shit came out. I'm still hiding....

*sighs*

This meme again?

FOR GOD'S SAKE GUYS IT'S BEEN TWELVE DAMN YEARS!

JUST LEAVE THE DEAD HORSE BE. There's not even a dead horse left to bash -- just powder from what used to be a desiccated skeleton because of all that bashing. I just feel sorry for it now and hope to bury it with some semblance of dignity these days.

The book came out in 2005 (coincidentally, also the year of release of Curse of Darkness and Dawn of Sorrow, when Castlevania's writing quality dipped to the same level).

It's 2018.

Honestly, I thought that meme was long dead and buried given that Tide Pods and Ugandan Knuckles didn't even last a month.

Seriously, I'm not even 30 and y'all have gotten me to bitch about old memes being old like I'm some grandpa who still has the shakes from the trenches of the Meme Wars.

Can't believe I must invoke Saint Connery, but...



Anyway, now that I've ensured that this will follow me to my grave, just had to give my two cents.

As you were then.

Hey it's that guy from The Hunt for Red October.

What meme are you talking about? I've not heard of it yet if there is one. Besides, time is moving way too fast nowadays for the 'enough time has gone by' argument to even begin to register. It still feels like yesterday that that horrid cesspit of a series was cranked out, and by a Canadian author no-less, which is kinda embarrassing for me as a canadian and insulting to hear about at the same time. All that so she could cash in on the whole teen monster romance bit

Twilight Bashing itself was the meme. Ironic, as the only people who really care about Twilight anymore are the people who expend time bashing it these days -- all the fans have grown up and moved on to other things, and so has the author (believe it or not, The Chemist was actually a pretty okay book -- Meyer's improved a lot). Bashing these days is nearly literally beating a dead horse. Why can't we just bury the horse? Do you want vampire horses? Because that's how you get vampire horses.

I just find the fact that people are unable to let this stuff go to be incredible and slightly embarrassing. Relative speeds of time or not, the bashing trend has been around since before most Fortnite Battle Royale players were born (if the voice channel is anything to go by), so it's been a while.

As for MOF cutscenes (so we can stay on topic), I don't think I ever was forced to watch one more than once. The whole game was kind of stupidly easy, particularly when it came to bosses -- hordes of endgame mooks were a bigger challenge than most bosses, and even then, given that the whip could reach from one end of Alaska to the other, that was pretty easy too. The toughest challenges were honestly the environmental hazards, which has no bearing on cutscene viewing. Not that most of them merit a second viewing -- the environments they take place in are mostly bland, the voice acting is bad even by "burly Scots chewing the scenery" standards, and it's pretty clear in my mind that Richard Madden and Robert Carlyle only showed up because contracts were shoved in their faces and they decided to show up and do the minimal amount of work that would let them collect a paycheck and go home.

LOS2 did not improve this.

Also, why did MercurySteam decide every Belmont had to be Scottish, again? Does anyone actually know?

It's all fun and games, but the over-reliance on repetitive combat involving the counter/parry mechanic is why the game is a chore to play.

...But enough about Samus Returns...

[Shiroi Koumori]

@Lumi: Twilight is still famous in the Philippines. sigh. I just recently heard a female radio dj fangirl on air, much to the chagrin of her male companion.
We have a trend in my country, once something becomes famous, it will never ever die.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

Twilight ... chagrin

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE. XD

[Inccubus]

*sighs*

This meme again?

[...rant...]

I will bash it as long as I keep seeing copies of the books in my local Goodwill stores.
Until that reminder is gone, I will be glad to feast on your torment.

Yeah. Why does everything need to be Dark Souls now?

It's funny because Samus Returns is a MercurySteam game, hehehe.

[TheouAegis]

Yeah, but I can beat Samus Returns no problem...
