Topic: I'm No More a Castlevania Fan

[Dracula9]

People are sick and tired of others strolling in with "WHATS THE BIG DEAL MAN" after we've gone through and explained it in great detail every month for the last TWO YEARS.

At this point, it just looks like someone wanting to start trouble.

As reasonable a thought as that is, though, it means nothing to me.

This is a Castlevania discussion forum. With the comatose state of the Chapel, this is more or less the "go-to" place for Castlevania Q&A. If people are still this passionate about the topic, even if it's heated by "ugh this is so old," then the topic's popularity is still very much alive. And in that regard, if one is able to explain why they shouldn't have to give a response, then they should be able to give one. It's not like answering a question expends more energy than ripping on someone.

No one here's obligated to give you a reason

No one person is, yes, unless specifically asked for; but the forum as a community is, by its existence as a Castlevania discussion board, absolutely obligated to answer questions about the series. Hence why the forum even exists. But I'm not concerned with an answer to my question anymore(someone was kind enough to PM me with what I was looking for). Instead I'm more outraged that I got this kind of response. While it doesn't explicitly bother me, it seriously bothers me that new members might get this same kind of treatment. Which would easily discourage them from coming back, and we'd end up, as a forum, as a bunch of cynical assholes who ream any new blood that comes by. I don't think we want to become the old Sprites Inc forums.

I mean, I stomached Castlevania Judgement, I can stomach anything.

Quote of this century.

Yes, I'm looking forward to MoF and LoS2 and I'm looking forward to the future endeavors the series has to offer.

I mean, I stomached Castlevania Judgement, I can stomach anything.

Or rather...rambling done: Castlevania will NEVER be truly dead to me until Konami stops making the games. 

This made me smile, thank you. I hope more fans of the series will start to feel the same way. Like the demonic castle of the series' namesake, Castlevania has always been a living, breathing and growing entity that changes to what forms suit it best.

As a fan of everything from the beginning to now, I am looking forward to the future and seeing what path our series of chaos will take us. Cheers!

I love me some classicvania and metroidvania(not as much but still). I am looking foward to new stuff no need to cling on to the past let's look foward to the future and see the new things that are possible. Good or bad it will be one hell of a ride right guys and gals

While I do not agree with the harshness of the forum response, the forum responses are not wrong, in particular, which is why I'm not micromanaging this thread.
Seriously Dracula9, the 'search' function on a board exists for a reason.

It's like coming in here and asking "What's the deal with Dracula, amirite?".
The time for discussion about Lords of Shadow has come and gone by.  Many many moons have passed since it was a hot topic of discussion, and, quite frankly, where have you been, man?  Anyone who's even a remote follower of Castlevania who posts at pretty much any Castlevania related board (including GameFAQs) should be aware of the general feeling that a portion of the fans have got.  You may disagree with it, but to not even be aware of it?  Have you been living under a rock?

So, again, while I'm not particularly fond of the responses given, they reflect a feeling of "We've generally gone over this... you're bringing it up now?  Are you trying to start something?  Let's not go there again".  But that's too many words, so...

It's kinda a newbie thing to post.  I expect this from newbies with three threads under their wing, but not from someone like you who's been around the block a few times.  Just sayin'.  And no, the forum could just ignore your post 'demanding for answers'.  I was almost half-expecting someone to go to "let me google that for you" or something.

Do feel free to stir up the old sentiment by posting a thread in "Classic Castlevania Threads" though.  I'm sure that there will be helpful forum folk who will elaborate on the PM you received.

"This [franchise] is a creature of chaos. It may take many incarnations."

You are now reading it in Robert Belgrade's voice.

[Dracula9]

Fair enough, Jorge. I'll lay off it.

[Lelygax]

Who is Robert Belgrade? lol

[crisis]

WHAAAAAT

R. Belgrade is the ORIGINAL Alucard, and the best, imo

[Phoenix7786]

Who is Robert Belgrade? lol

The original SotN Voice-actor. If you play the PSP SotN version they changed the voice actors around. And the line that Flame posted was a near word-for-word line that Alucard says to Maria, so it was a freaking awesome inside-joke I laughed hard at it.

[Lelygax]

Yeah, I recognized the joke, but I didnt knew the name of the voice actor until now, it makes much more sense now, thanks. xD
