Topic: IGA --Le Requiem?

[DragonSlayr81]

About LOS, one simple illustration : I loved to fight epic combats against Vampires. Iga and his team totally forgot during 8 years that Castlevania was a fight between a Hero/Vampire Hunter against evil creatures of the Night, including Vampires ! Althought we have a crazy large variations of Skeletons in IGA games, but absolutely no vampires (just final boss).

Yes, IGA N-E-V-E-R used vampires in his video games OTHER than final bosses. I mean, y'know, Olrox, Joachim Armster, Walter Bernhard, Brauner, Loretta and Stella, and even Vampre Annette in DXC were only set pieces. You never really fight them as, say, BOSSES! *wipes the sarcasm off lips*

Konami should make up for the lack of vampires by releasing a Castlevania game with 8 Vampire Masters in their own levels. You should be able to choose which order to tackle the levels, and for every Vampire Master you beat, you gain a new ability/weapon.  Finally, when you've beaten all the 8 Vampire Masters you should be able to enter Dr Wily's... eh, Draculas Castle.

Great idea on paper, this.

I'd like to see him continue to make Castlevania games.  Or, you know what?  Maybe not even him, but someone who doesn't betray the spirit of the series and can do it proper justice.  I think that's all I really need to be happy.  It doesn't have to be IGA, but I feel Mercury Steam and Dave Cox should have nothing to do with Castlevania.

EDIT:
This is really an aside, but is it really necessary to broadcast my operating system and internet browser choices to the world? : x

Pffffft, there's no way that setup would ever work with anything...

I would sooo buy this play to play as BelmontMan. I already fear the MedusaheadMan stage. o__O

Oh yeah, and what about these browser stuff. What if someone comes up with a PornoFox or XXXXplorer?

You are free to leave the forum if you so wish.  Or stay.  But I will not have you insulting the community every three of your posts. You're not any better than any of these forum members, so please stop acting like you are.

Where are my insults ? When I say there are children on this forum, it's because those kind of emails :

And I will finish it.  What kind of stupid child response is that?
Stop with the nonsense already, what the hell!?

Child is your own word, okay ? And I felt it's very justified because this dispute was useless.

There's no hate in my messages, just LOVE for Castlevania. You and Crisis only concentrate on "why I despise IGAvania" (it's easier !) but you should better read why I love real Castlevania games since 20 years. It's okay I don't have to speak about IGA and his team anymore, because they look like dead and buried since 2 years now ! There's no use to speak much about that. So I just hope people will begin to forget him in playing this wonderful Despair shit...

I prefer to speak about the good news for Castlevania : the adds for LOS and the new direction Konami wants to give to the series.

[crisis]

Making games is a collaborative effort, and spewing hatred the likes of "GRRR IGA SHOULD DIE ALREADY" makes those butthurt fanboys seem more and more foolish with each sentence.

I should just make this my sig

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Not gonna bother quoting.

I only posted "what a childish response" because it was directly at single bickering between two people where one resorted to saying "You started it".  That one response does not reflect my response to the entire Castlevania Dungeon Forums populace, and if you think that's what I meant, then you have gravely misunderstood.

"I" personally don't care whether you hate IGA or worship the ground he walks on.  I just want civility and order in here, and in order to maintain it, sometimes people need to stop with the name-calling amongst themselves and put things in perspective.  If I'm personally calling a response childish it's because it really is, such as the example above, and I get to do that because I'm the person modding around here, and it was a warning to NOT do that, and it wasn't even directed at you, but at someone else. 

My personal opinion on IGA does not get mentioned... I don't mention it because most people already know it and I don't want to waste my time typing it over and over again.  What I do mention is that you continue to cause enmity in every few posts you post.  Why do you even bother posting them if all it is is an overly verbose paragraph insulting the community forum you're posting on.

This is a Warning, Innovator.  Do not continue your behavior.

That's so true.  Actually, having vampires as normal enemies was one of the redeeming features of the N64 CVs.  It's also what I like about LoS.  For Dracula being "lord of the vampires", he doesn't have a lot of them as underlings.

LMAO.

Jorge,

Actually, this entire topic is childish.
I shoul'nt have participate in this debate, the very same neverending since 3-4 years.
However, you can talk about all hate you want, you notice it isn't I who initiate "IGA --Le Requiem?".

I guess man is a wolf to man.
Crisis was right when he said : "oh man I could see this turn into a bash-fest real fast."

Everyone keeps on his position so it's useless to continue on speaking about it. Like I already said, I prefer to speak about the good news for Castlevania : the interesting adds for LOS and the new direction Konami wants to give to the series. That's my point.

[le052383]

This (sans the last part " I want a new direction for the series for each new entry" really? xD)


Ugh, sorry but NOT THIS.

Innovator, way to act like a glorified troll by continuously bashing the community for literally nothing at all. We consider IGA's games Castlevania games because they're CASTLEVANIA games, it doesn't matter what you want them to be. And LoS is a Castlevania game as well! But wahhh they include save points & levelling up, the Japo-influences make me poop my pants. Please stop spamming this forum with how much you hate half the games of the series, I think we get your point by now. Sheesh.

I would like to add your post that all game developers tries to innovate(pun inted) their titles to make them fresh and new to gamers.  With that said, IGA is trying to change up the game to make it fresh, which is the same thing Mercurysteam is doing with LOS. 

[Maedhros]

Sorry for the Off-Topic Jorge, but I want to ask something: this forum have a account ban/suspension system? I never saw anyone here being suspended at all... just asking.

[whitedragon_nall]

How come every post he makes is dripping with smugness and attitude. Relax. Keep in mind, we're all Castlevania fans here. Just that we have different ideas on what we want with the series.

Maybe we should all start posting hot pics of Carmilla again. I think that's something we all can agree on.

Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Honestly, the administration/moderation here (myself and others) really try and give people a chance.  The rules are obvious and stated at the topic "Rules Thread".  Mostly it's "Don't be douchey" or something.   I give people a few warnings and if they persist with their shenanigans, then all of a sudden you guys don't see them post anymore.  It's low-key, the way moderation happens.

Well, it seems about two-thirds are supportive of IGA's involvement, --but most of that support seems to call for some measure of closure as well.

This is my opinion...

Konami needs to acknowledge their art.  Don't get me wrong, I think Castlevania's rebooting was inevitable, but damn ill-advised to leave their existing mythology and artistic legacy unfinished.  Downright contemptible to strings us along --building up to something epic --for several years --and then being told to forget everything we know about Castlevania and play *this* instead.  LoS was a good game, but not good enough to make me forget Castlevania --and certainly not good enough to replace Castlevania as we know it.  I'm very angry about all this --angry that businessmen are making business decisions, instead of letting the devoted artists finish their work.  Order of Ecclesia came out over 2 years ago --there are NO announcements concerning IGA's future --NO reassurances that Konami will support the classic timeline --NO promise whatsoever of any closure for the Castlevania Mythology's most supportive fans.

If there's nothing hopeful announced by the time 3DS arrives...

--well, that's as good as a big, chocolate GAME OVER cake with a blazing, corporate, middle-finger-shaped candle on top.
