Well, I was trying to make a point as a whole, giving example of gimmicks from each game that have their pros and cons but even so aren't a waste of time, sorry if my poor english is confusing. Im trying to get better at it :P

It's okay Lelygax, I'm not going to hold anything against you  ;)  I'm not that kind of terrible person. All you can do is do what you can...if that makes any form of sense, lol.

we colored me surprise as to where the results are going I have to get in contact with Sheepy. Also while it may be impossible to do, anyone think it would be possible to get the main man to watch?

People are perhaps voting for HoD over, say, SotN and AoS here because we see people doing SotN playthroughs quite frequently (and at least three of the Bloodstained Kickstarter Youtube affiliates are doing AoS runs so there's no shortage of those), but some of the other titles like CotM and HoD are more neglected in that regard. Maybe the voters here are looking for more variation in which games people are showing off playthroughs of right now.

ah, looks like I better expect that around....an hour from now XD lol. Unless you want to contact sooner.

And that's great that they are looking for more variation. Honestly, I realllly wanted to do the DS titles like portrait of ruin since I just beat that one so that's the most fresh castle in my mind right now. But the problem with that is...we'd kinda have to use the forbidden fruit. The price range for a capture card and capture kit is way to expensive and it's even worse for 3ds going into the 600$ range. I do own the games though and I wish there were some technology to just rip the game off to my computer.

However...that's not even the problem which is the funny part. The problem is capturing in the first place...or at least for Order of Ecclesia from what I've heard around the net is that it's a bit....frame-droppy, though that depends on how it is set up and what is used to capture the game. Even SGDQ have problems capturing the game directly from the DS, The audio would just not work a lot of the time.
Portrait of Ruin and Dawn of Sorrow do work better though if my research was correct, but yeah...that's kinda the only way price range wise.

I would add the choices, but it's up to you guys since I don't approve of that stuff naturally unless you get everything from your own hardware like with pcsx2, the easiest to set up where you can get everything from your ps2 and USE the discs. It's actually legal to use it which is how I'd have to stream Curse of Darkness because Elgato literally has problems with that game! It CANNOT run the audio or video correctly. But put the disc in my computer and it works like magic. There are some cases in which some games just can't be captured through Elgato game capture...Modern games for ps3, SURE THING...older stuff...heh...it's anyone's guess for that thanks to converters messing up codec and etc.

HoD and CotM are really close contenders I've noticed! I find that HoD is a rather mellow game to play through, and you don't need to try so hard at it. While CotM on the other hand keeps me on my toes or else I can get picked off easily when I'm not paying attention  :P

yeah, I may let Belmont do more CotM if it does win. He has better pattern recgonition and strategy then I do....But he might get stale at points since SOMEONE likes to not appreciate the gifts given in either game =o= "Mr. Classic..." When I play, I'll make sure to use that DSS and spellbook.

I voted CotM just because I loved it since the moment I saw the game, not only does it hit most of the tones for art style and music but it's genuinely a challenge to play though.

Yeah there is a good chance that Neobelmont and I will be playing both titles due to how popular they were.

Expect a lot of hype, viewer interactivity, and a very great time! Keep supporting us guys!

(good chance we are starting on June 3rd right after my final which will be afternoon Pacific time XD)
