You know what? Screw all you guys, I'm sticking with Serio's Castlevania Fighter.
Great point. Serio's game looks and sound like Castlevania, and the fights are more entertaining than the 10.000 hits 2D battles of Mirror of Fate that last for several minutes.
#1 - so by the logic of the universe.he is directly responsible by all thing´s that happen to ''Castlevania'' from this point.
#2 - i´m with you. why people insist in be so foolishly blind and don´t accept the truth ?
#3 - if i express 1/3 of my opinion about LoS and Dave ''Emotional Instability'' Cox... well better not think on this.
LOS is classicvania 3D ?
Lament of innocence is the only Classicvania 3D experience that i felt. LordofMayofwaroflighthoodVania Don´t count as one.
LoI is ClassicVania in 3D with elements of MetroidVania, and also Legacy of Darkness, is the perfect 3D Castlevania.
And Curse of Darkness is MetroidVania in 3D.
You can express what you feel about LoS and Cox with respect, that's what the forum is for.
Castlevania Quest Horror -Play Movie-
The Michmede games are masterpieces, and even this 3D experiment is more fun than LoS, and, unlike the MS games, it looks like CV has always looked, and especially the music is exactly what Castlevania sounds like.
I'd rather play Castlevania: Quest Horror than LoS, and Castlevania: Quest is way, way better game than Mirror of Fate, and it was made by only one person with almost zero budget.
And don't get me started on Dracula's Shadow, for that's one of the best games ever, and the soundtrack... my God, the soundtrack...
By the way, i'm not related to Michmede, I just know his games and tunes. But they are masterpieces.
LoS is God of War with Castlevania elements. This will hold true 'till the end of times.
Just like Tomb Raider is Uncharted with Tomb Raider elements.
Both new games were somewhat inspired by the old games and got the template "copied" instead. With their own differences, of course.
I don't really think LoS resembles ANY Castlevania game, at all.
Totally agree.
Pfil, I can't send PMs to you, why?
I don't have that option enabled, I'm used to do that on the web.
I don't see nothing elegant and beautiful about chair collecting, clowns and cream pies as subweapons. If anything, those and some other things are examples of lack of moderation and attempts to inject some odd, of the wall humor in the series, that never was overtly funny to begin with. Also, such strong separation "Everything Japanese CV = good, everything MS CV = bad" is rather wrong in my opinion.
You already have it - LOS is classicvania in 3D, and MOF is a hybrid of classicvania, metroidvania and LOS style.
I think exactly the opposite. Japanese attempts at humour worked with me, but MS ones didn't... as everything else MS did... just didn't work for me.
And no, I don't have anything.
Where is my typical soundtrack?
And my shop to buy items and potions?
And my anime-inspired characters?
What about my blue map percentage completion?
And where is the inventory, where I can equip spells, weapons, armors?
Where are the beautiful enemies like Succubus or Venus Weed?
And why is everything so dark and monotonous?
Where is the ClassicVania platforming?
And also, I don't like QTE, I don't like combos, I don't like normal enemies that take 10000 hits to die, and I don't like automatic platforming, and battles with titans don't look like CV to me either.
And above all: I don't like generic Hollywood sound with little melodies and simple and boring non-neoclassical chord progressions.
And I can spend a few pages of text explaining what is missing from CV, and what I see here that don't belong in this world.
And yeah, I believe we are calmly discussing so far, but if we are annoying another members perhaps we should just let it go.
