Topic: Castlevania Lords of Shadow explain to me please?

[DragonSlayr81]

Problem is, if Konami says it's a Castlevania game it IS a Castlevania. Maybe by name only, but still every bit as legit as the original NES Castlevania.
Also, careful what you write in these forums. Konami may very well pick up on your idea and make a game of it, lol!

Name only, but even if Konami says so, to a point, even their say wouldn't matter. If they were so greedy and corrupt that they'd push something like my idea as a CV "just for the sake of milking a new fanbase with an original title masked under the name 'Castlevania' as a safe familiar sell", credibility will no doubt slip from the fans. And I'm not saying LoS could be placed along side my example, or is anything like it in spirit. LoS, at the least, has some CV feel to it.

I mean, if Konami takes a playing card, smears shit on it and says, "We call this Castlevania!", sorry, I'm going to disagree, and to hell with Konami's say.  Anybody who gets that big headed that they can do something stupid like that, and think they can be pat on the back, needs to be taken down a notch!

I wonder what would have happened if LOS launched without the Castlevania name and no ties with Castlevania at all but STILL had that ending.

Boy oh boy this forum would have been on fire.

Hahaha

Thank you all for discussing this topic with me, I feel that this is a Castlevania game; But At the same time its a shadow of All the other games that tried to attempt to work out a "God Of War" style to the action, ex: Dante's Inferno..

I mean I did enjoy it, but It would be cool if they remade the game and it had to do with the Castlevania time line we all know :l

Dante's Inferno was a flat-out clone.

LoS is not.

I don't remember buying combo attacks in Castlevania, I don't remember Grabbing enemies In castlevania, The only thing missing was the hit count...

I bought those combo attacks as well but I never bothered to learn to put them into practice. There really was no point for me to do so.

The hit count thing did happen in Castlevania.

that was really just a visual woop more than anything really affecting gameplay though. i really liked loi's combat though. as you got more moves, the newer moves were actually better than your older ones. plus it was neat that with playing around with the system, you could find different ways to do the attacks than what it lists in the menu.
