Exactly my thought when I saw the video.

IGA always said in the past that Dracula’ Curse was his personal favorite of the classic games so Curse of The Moon paying homage to it seems quite fitting.

well if its a worthy homage they'll make sure all characters can be playable in all stages through some easy to use method, which CV3 used a password system, but doesnt seem COTM has passwords.  so if it has a way to have all characters selectable in all stages on replays or fresh, it must be either button codes/and or unlocking them through progression, which then makes them selectable even in the first stages before they are recruited.

well think backers could get the game days before everyone else, so there could be info about the games secrets and stuff to determine what its got to offer in replay value.

also would be interesting to see if COTM's average length/amount of stages surpasses CV3's.

is it a few more days yet?

Affinity, even if the option you want isn't available, you should get the game, and then have somebody come over to your house and play it until they unlock the other characters that you want, and you can then take it from there.

I won't be getting the game unless they include a cheat code that let's me walk to the end of the game. Otherwise it's not fair...

Affinity, even if the option you want isn't available, you should get the game, and then have somebody come over to your house and play it until they unlock the other characters that you want, and you can then take it from there.

what?  my friends aren't gamers, and relatives that are, are out of state.

I'm also skeptical if I'll like the game's level designs.  who knows if it's shorter or longer than CV3.   who knows if the level design will be balanced and fair. too easy or too hard. 

and it is wasteful if the other 3 characters have no way to be playable in the previous stages on replays, even after being unlocked. 

there's still too many questions, and on principle, it's really Ritual of the Night that got me interested in the first place. 
no old school Castlevania clone is gonna hold interest as long.

you know it actually woulda been more interesting if they made it CV2 style, with day/night cycles, towns with townspeople, secrets, open world without being a metroidvania, etc.  while also having COTM's selection, but instead of character recruiting/swapping gimmick, you can simply pick any of the 4 at the start and go from there.

well anyways, Ill check videos and stuff and list of unlockables and cheats to see what it fully offers.

I can't believe I had to wait nine years for a new classicvania, Castlevania Rebirth was in 2009....

Hahaha. At least there's something after 9 years. :)
I've waited far longer for FFXV and still waiting for KH3. Oh god....

@Affinity: I am bad at games but if I want to finish a game, I will try my best to get better. The reward after feels amazing.
But if I really suck, I'll watch youtube to learn how the good gamers beat the game. This is how you approach a game and not look at cheats in the first instance.
Plus, if you dislike the game, for whatever shit in it that you hate, please do not dump cold water on the fans who are gushing. Just keep quiet, or say your opinion but do not antagonize others by forcing them to accept your side. And don't buy the game. I've seen too much hate over at Final Fantasy, please do not bring it here too.

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.   ;D

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.

When those things happen, don't respond to the haters. But you respond, and that's when shit starts.
I know you are a super feminist and want to say what you want and prove your point but sometimes your point is not quite on point and people hate that (I got this from your harassment on FFXV when it was first launched, and was raining on my fujoshi happiness, but whatever), so just don't respond and the issue quiets down on its own.
