Ty it's very quote worthy 

Last I remember, in OoE, my attacks had Y, R(switch), X(other hand), A(charge attack), plus combinations of UP and DOWN.  And I can stop my combos at any time 'cuz they weren't combos at all, and jump and dodge as I please.  And I can activate an ability with L (I think) like Volaticus, etc. and add to the combination of things to do.

If you played OoE just mashing Y and X, either you're lying by dumbing down the actions for dramatic effect, or you don't know how to play.

In Mirror of Fate, the characters cannot crouch and use A for the SubWeapon.  You're also stuck in your combo because the combos are forced.  If you started the combo and the enemy started attacking, well tough cookies you're about to take a hit and that's the bottom line.
Pound for Pound you're far more limited to what you can do.

My OOE does not play on my 3ds so I really cannot remember but I do remember that one shadow boss, blackmore, you cannot button mash that guy.

I think you all need to calm down.

But especially Maedhros and e105beta.

Not really nervous at all. I just don't like reading lies being stated as fact.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

This thread is riddled with opinion.
If there is someone claiming something as 'fact' you can just look at them funny.

Unless it really is a fact.  Like "The sky on Earth is blue" or something.

You should be nervous... if I'm telling you to calm down. ;P

I'm really sorry... I didn't know you knew more than myself when I'm nervous or not...   

Also, I don't really think saying that "OoE is a button mashing game" can be seen as oppinion, not fact.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Well I do have the power to silence you if you behave like an ass...
...so if I'm telling you to calm down, that's my way of saying you're close to getting a warning, which leads to a ban, which leads to you not posting here anymore.

Now perhaps you don't care, which is just fine and you can continue your behavior.  It can also be argued that it's not something to get nervous about.  After all, this is just one little forum on the corner of the internet.  Plenty more around.

Perhaps you misunderstood me.  I did not mean to say that I can foretell when you as a person should feel nervous.
I'm saying that if I'm telling you to calm down, you probably might want to.

I'm done talking about this.  I hope you understand.

Regarding OoE, I demonstrated many ways in which it isn't a button-mashing game in an earlier post.
It's certainly LESS of a button-mashing game compared to Mirror of Fate.

So does anybody think there's room for DLC in this game? Not like "Boss Rush/Sound Test" lame DLC (though a Boss Rush would be nice), but like actual content DLC.

Now I know some of you can't wait for LoS to go away, but... I mean, the series is going to span 900-1000 years in only 3 games, another 3DS side-scroller is probably not part of the plan, and I can't help but think that there's definitely room for more Belmont tales between 1046 and 2012.

I don't know if they will do DLC. But it personally doubt it, since all of MS is focused on getting LOS2 done.

Hmmm... If I were to believe the words of Cox, the series will stay as a trilogy. They might incorporate time skip elements similar to MoF in order to speed up the timeline.
Unless Konami decides to take another risk giving MS another handheld port.

[Maedhros]

I doubt this game will see any DLC at all, since it bombed.

Source? I've actually been quite curious about MoF's sales numbers.

[Maedhros]

We don't have actual numbers. It just didn't show up on any of the official numbers charts.

On NPD, the 9th position (Sly 4) sold around 117k. LoS didn't even showed up.
On the Euro/PAL charts, at the week of launch, it only showed up in one country chart, at the 39th position (NE).

We don't really know official numbers, this means bomba usually. But the game could have been profitable, since it's even lower budget than the Metroidvania games.

Maybe it was the 10th position, lol.

Well, even if it doesn't do well, I hope they publish the numbers soonish.
