Topic: POLL: Who will you play as first in Harmony of Despair?

[Dremn]

Shanoa is the only character I give a damn about. The lack of any Belmonts really sucks, I hate how Iga keeps avoiding them.

[angevil]

LOL. Jonathan and Charlotte are definitely not cool and inspiring Is there really someone who likes them? Besides Affinity?

Shanoa, Soma and Alucard are some of my favorite characters in the whole game series. Which reminds me: when will we have that main artwork in high res?

I wonder who will be included in the future..Albus? Will it be just characters from DS games?

[corneliab]

I like Soma, Alucard, and Shanoa, but having Jonathan instead of a real Belmont is a real slap to the face.

Oh well, it's not like I'm buying this thing anyways~

[thernz]

Defeating Dracula shouldn't make a Castlevania character more likable, considering that 90% of the cast did that. Pfft. But yeah, my main qualm is that we have Jonathan instead of someone like even Richter.
Because SoTN Richter was pretty unique with all his abilities, besides actually being a Belmont. Even if it would mean reusing Richter again. >->

I don't own an Xbox either so I'll just wait until someone out there hacks HoD onto the internet. I'll play it then.

Is that possible?

Of course.   He might not be as great as John Morris, but he is still very likable.  Deny it as much as you want, but Johathan defeated Dracula like other legendary whip wielders we have known.  Of course not without help, but John was technically accompanied by Eric, and Trevor Belmont received a lot of help in his journey as well, but that doesn't make them weak.

A complete crock of shit. Johnathan and Charlotte basically ambushed Drac as he was just getting out of his coffin. Nothing to be proud of. It would be like me hitting you in the face with a baseball bat just as you got up in the morning. Actually that sounds like a lot of fun. Watch your back.

Drac should have won in PoR.

HAY 5 O/

but as for those, Al, all the way, he is fancy, yet awesome.

Simon ressurrected/woke up Dracula in CVII just to beat him down before you can say
"But enough talk, have at you!" Dracula didn't even get to eat breakfast.   
Jonathan and Charlotte had to fight Dracula and Death at the sametime, even a merged version of Dracula and Death afterwards!   No one else in Castlevania defeated a team that powerful.

Hm, I'll play as Jonathan. Cause he wields a whip, simple as that. That's why I enjoy Castlevania from a gameplay stand point. You people think too much about storylines, artwork and stuff... like it even matters? They're all video game characters, so none of them are "cooler" than the others. Unless, of couse, you are 14 years old.

This is the stupidest thing I've heard all day. Characters are all designed and written in specific ways to fulfill certain roles. Obviously, some people are going to find certain characters to be more appealing than others.

I don't know about anyone else, but Jonathan's daddy-angst, gimmick dialogue (NO PROBLEM LOLZ), and snarkiness (I CAN KICK UR ASS DEATH), make the character thoroughly out of place and downright lame compared to the series' more understandably stoic characters.

[Rugal]

If it ever comes out on PSN, I'll probably pick Soma first. I think he's the coolest of them all. Also, I'm 23 years old and just said that. Does that make me uncool now?

Simon was also afflicted with a curse.

[thernz]

Not to mention Simon already defeated him fair and square earlier.

I'm talking about how a VG character plays, not what they say in cutscenes. I'm not interested in their personality and can honestly say that Simon/Jonathan/Alucard/Soma/Shanoa/whoever are equally poor characters. I was merely saying Jonathan has a whip, which is more fun than a sword IMO. You just kinda proved my point there. No need to get defensive though. People are all like "OMG I WILL NEVAH PLAY AS JONATHAN!!!1" but they defend other characters that are just as embarrasing.
