And I found nothing to like in Lords of Shadow outside of the Castle segment. And apparently I'm too stupid to understand its plotline.
I probably would have liked Lords of Shadow. But the gameplay was tedious. I'm too old to learn combos or mash buttons for quick time events. I just want to whip something a couple times and have it die. I don't do quick time events anymore. QTEs are the video game equivalent of going to the movies and being asked to raise your hand at a certain point or you have to go back outside and get in line. There's no actual skill involved, just a childish memory/timing/mashing game.
Only time I've enjoyed QTEs: pleasuring women in God of War.:O
But since the release of LoI, CoD and the LoS trilogy, I personally can safely say that the N64 titles were pretty much spot-on right from the get-go.
And I will say this to all the people that say the n64 games suck I will always question them really all of you played them...it's like the whole internet hates the 64 titles? I feel that some just do it to be in the cool club to say the games suck...My gripe with the negativity is where does it come from it makes no sense. It's not perfect but LoD is a solid 8 in my book. Just imagine if it was given an other year people would have been tripping back then.
I really wish though that someone would make an "Ultimate Edition" of the 64 games that has all the characters and extra levels from LoD, but keeps the vastly superior level design from th original CV64. The levels in that game make a lot more sense and are much much better than the levels in LoD.
It would be nice to someday have an HD port of Legacy of Darkness that retains all that wasn't brought over from CV64 (intro forest level as an extra/hidden path, voiceover narration for Reinhardt and Carrie's quests, Dracula voice during first encounter, original alternate costumes, etc.). Easily my favorite 3D game in the series, but it's always bugged me that it didn't contain EVERYTHING from the first version.
With all respect to other choices, but I'm glad so many people can see beyond the N64 games' flaws, so they are able to see the many virtues these games have.While they say that they are hated over the internet (and I'm aware of that from past experiences), at least it seems people who is really into CV can see what those games really are.
