Topic: Harmony of Despair (The next Castlevania game?)

They're still making GBA titles. But if you're refering to Castlevania then yes, I can sympathize. the only thing i like about the DS titles is that all the characters have been brought up to SNES size standards; Meaning it makes fan game making far more easier for us.

So much for rage... I get a giggle or two out of that face.

1200 points!? Really!?

[affinity]

it's a steal selling this game for less than $20.
Great bargain for Castlevania fans and online parties!   ^.^

1200 is a ripoff. What are you talking about.

1200 is a ripoff. What are you talking about.

It's only a ripoff to those who don't understand the costs of game development, and the value of these unique features, such as being the first online multiplayer Castlevania game that up to 6 players (not 2, not 4) can share together, and includes a versus mode, and really reworked the way Castlevania is played (a mix of staged based boss goal Castlevanias, and non-linear Metroidvanias.)  With 5 playable characters (that were not in the same game in other CV games.  that can be customized with lots of equipment and skills you find for extra replay value and different ways to play a character.

The netcode and online infrastructure isn't a easy cheap task either.

And this is also the first Castlevania that supports high definition, and the graphics are perfect for true Castlevania fans who see classic graphics as art instead of recycled assets. 

1200 pts. is only about $15.  This game offers more fun, and replay value than most, if not all $60 games out there.   

If you are not social in cooperative online gaming, or a cheap negative nancy,
then this game isn't for you.

have you played the game? do you know it's fun?

[Ahasverus]

Affinity is IGA, or IGA's worker, or somethig rerlated to him, all of her posts are wrtten in pure PR style.
Development costs¿ how could we know about that if we are NOT developers but the people who gve their money to them in exchange of a lasting good experience?, and, hey, What development costs are you talking about if this game is 100% green? IT'S PURE RECYCLING.

So wait, I'm not a "true Castlevania fan" because my standards for the series are more reasonable than yours? Because I would rather see a Castlevania title that actually uses original sprites and room structure (like almost every Castlevania to date, DS games included)?

Whatever, bucko.

Also, the DS assets (which comprise the majority of the visuals) are not classic by any stretch of the imagination. The reused Rondo/Symphony graphics have also long since worn out their "classic" value by repeat use.

Im in favor of what you have to say here.

Either Affinity is IGA/his associates, like Ahasverus stated, or she's just another Alucard/IGA fangirl who loves to play the same game with the exact same sprites 1234576767578998767 times. Because of people like her, this is why IGA made this poor excuse for a Castlevania title. Seriously, I know a ton of people who can come up with better homebrews than... this. Also, 1200 MS Points is a complete ripoff for something of this quality.

[Little Dracula]

1200 points plus the DLC is too much, but the good thing is that why can try the game before buying it (the beauty of Xbox live). If I have fun with the demo I will buy it. I hope we can get a taste of single and online mode with the demo.

Man we've all got to get alone in here or else George or somebody else with CVdungeon authority will close off this thread. Didn't anybody here learn to play nice in elemantary school? Or was it beaten out of you guys when junior high came around?  :
