Seriously, you get to the Dracula battle and you get him down to like 25% health and then you die. Then you have to watch the fucking cutscene to hint to you how to beat him. Then you get him down to 25% again and you die. Then you watch the cutscene again. And your hand cramps up and you die you have to watch the cutscene again. Then your fiance talks to you and you die, so you have to watch the cutscene again. And it came down to 10% and you die. Then you have to watch a cutscene again. Then you're fucking tired so you die again, then you have to get the cutscene again.
I'm fucking done with this game. Who the fuck thinks it's ever okay to for somebody to watch a fucking cutscene over and over and over and over? I still haven't beaten mof because I get to Dracula, then I fucking quit because I'm sick of the goddamn fucking cutscene. I don't go back to playing it for a few months and then I get the fucking cutscenes again, so I quit again.

You've got a high tolerance for bullshit to even make it that far in mirror of fate.

Let's have Trevor and Alucard be the same person for some reason.
And after Trevor gets turned into a vampire he just arbitrarily has white hair and the name Alucard for literally no reason than "Hey! It's a reference!" fan appeal even though no other vampires in the new universe exhibit these traits.
And Gabriel has no idea Trevor is his grown son until it's too late even though Trevor regularly mumbles broodingly about his Belmont heritage and Gabriel's distant shadow is shown obsessively following him around the castle and Gabriel has a magic mirror that shows all the knowledge of the universe to instantly tell him Trevor is his son (but it only works when it's convenient for the plot?) and oh my god I still have no fucking clue how that was meant to work as a plot twist to Gabriel.

But hey at least the Revelations DLC for LOS2 was actually pretty sweet. #InsufficientSilverLinings

By never playing this game I've just spared myself an @$$-load of irritation :rollseyes:
-
why you die? this isn't a hard game imho I beat this the 1st time I played it while on a cruse with my girlfriend bitching that I wasn't spending enough time with her lol she was not happy I took my 3ds on the boat :P that was 6 years ago I think fun times but for me having the damn flu for the whole trip :(

I wish I did that. :( But alas....

Meh... played and loved the HD version of this game on Ps3. I still replay it. Probably in my top 6 or 7 for the whole series.
-
Can't stand half that game. Looks pretty, but too many annoyances, and basically separating platforming and combat was just a bitch ass move.
@Theou: Save yourself the hassle and watch the end on YouTube. It ain't all that anyway.
LoS is mostly garbage and I hope it stays good and dead forever.

I don't have to play as D.Va in Overwatch for 40 hours just to eat a bag of Doritos.

I felt the same with Drac being a Belmont (first Belmont). I hope, when they (if they EVER) revitalize this series, they go back to something more simpler where Belmonts are Belmonts and Dracula's Vlad Tepes (not Gabriel, not Mathias, just classic Vlad). I also want them to go back to the style invoked by the recent Smash trailer, spooky castle, classic monsters, less grounded European fantasy (LoS1) and maybe dial back on the fancy Baroque styles of the IGA games.
Though given Konami, that might be too much to ask for.

Given Konami, literally anything that is slightly gamer friendly is probably too much to ask for.

I don't remember having trouble with MoF.
I didnt hate it's weird story either. In general I felt it was pretty easy to accept the LoS games as their own thing with their own take. I didnt even mind Trevorcard.
Also you say "no reason" but all things said, Gabriel never actually learned Trevor's name before he died. So, since he's Dracula, he named his son the opposite, because he stood against him.
As for looks, well, LoS made a point to say how vampires start out beastly and ugly and only the really powerful can take on human form.
Alucard was turned by Dracula himself and is already powerful, so hey, shortcut, but he's also blood starved. so visually, he's a few steps below Dracula.
I kind of liked his design really. What made no sense is how the moment he becomes alucard suddenly his hair and facial structure change entirely and thats just dumb

This is also kinda how vampires started out in the old lore before they were beautified in the Victorian era. And then bastardised in twilight :P

Yeah. Damn that twilight. I had to renounce my open love for vampires when that shit came out. I'm still hiding.... :P

This meme again?
FOR GOD'S SAKE GUYS IT'S BEEN TWELVE DAMN YEARS!
JUST LEAVE THE DEAD HORSE BE. There's not even a dead horse left to bash -- just powder from what used to be a desiccated skeleton because of all that bashing. I just feel sorry for it now and hope to bury it with some semblance of dignity these days.
The book came out in 2005 (coincidentally, also the year of release of Curse of Darkness and Dawn of Sorrow, when Castlevania's writing quality dipped to the same level).
It's 2018.
Honestly, I thought that meme was long dead and buried given that Tide Pods and Ugandan Knuckles didn't even last a month.
Seriously, I'm not even 30 and y'all have gotten me to bitch about old memes being old like I'm some grandpa who still has the shakes from the trenches of the Meme Wars.
Can't believe I must invoke Saint Connery, but...

Anyway, now that I've ensured that this will follow me to my grave, just had to give my two cents.
As you were then.

Hey it's that guy from The Hunt for Red October.

What meme are you talking about? I've not heard of it yet if there is one. Besides, time is moving way too fast nowadays for the 'enough time has gone by' argument to even begin to register. It still feels like yesterday that that horrid cesspit of a series was cranked out, and by a Canadian author no-less, which is kinda embarrassing for me as a canadian and insulting to hear about at the same time. All that so she could cash in on the whole teen monster romance bit :P

Twilight Bashing itself was the meme. Ironic, as the only people who really care about Twilight anymore are the people who expend time bashing it these days -- all the fans have grown up and moved on to other things, and so has the author (believe it or not, The Chemist was actually a pretty okay book -- Meyer's improved a lot). Bashing these days is nearly literally beating a dead horse. Why can't we just bury the horse? Do you want vampire horses? Because that's how you get vampire horses.
I just find the fact that people are unable to let this stuff go to be incredible and slightly embarrassing. Relative speeds of time or not, the bashing trend has been around since before most Fortnite Battle Royale players were born (if the voice channel is anything to go by), so it's been a while.
As for MOF cutscenes (so we can stay on topic), I don't think I ever was forced to watch one more than once. The whole game was kind of stupidly easy, particularly when it came to bosses -- hordes of endgame mooks were a bigger challenge than most bosses, and even then, given that the whip could reach from one end of Alaska to the other, that was pretty easy too. The toughest challenges were honestly the environmental hazards, which has no bearing on cutscene viewing. Not that most of them merit a second viewing -- the environments they take place in are mostly bland, the voice acting is bad even by "burly Scots chewing the scenery" standards, and it's pretty clear in my mind that Richard Madden and Robert Carlyle only showed up because contracts were shoved in their faces and they decided to show up and do the minimal amount of work that would let them collect a paycheck and go home.
LOS2 did not improve this.
Also, why did MercurySteam decide every Belmont had to be Scottish, again? Does anyone actually know?
-
It's all fun and games, but the over-reliance on repetitive combat involving the counter/parry mechanic is why the game is a chore to play.
...But enough about Samus Returns...

@Lumi: Twilight is still famous in the Philippines. sigh. I just recently heard a female radio dj fangirl on air, much to the chagrin of her male companion.
We have a trend in my country, once something becomes famous, it will never ever die.
-
Twilight ... chagrin
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE. XD

[...rant...]
I will bash it as long as I keep seeing copies of the books in my local Goodwill stores.
Until that reminder is gone, I will be glad to feast on your torment. :D

Yeah. Why does everything need to be Dark Souls now?

It's funny because Samus Returns is a MercurySteam game, hehehe.
-
Yeah, but I can beat Samus Returns no problem...
