Topic: Anyone thinks that LOS has a better origin story than LOI?(plz use spoiler tags)

Zobek was actually manipulated by Satan, who is the final boss.

Thank you for ruining it for me.  I think I am going to stay away from this topic

Sorry, that was kind of a dick-move. But other people were right in that expecting to be able to avoid spoilers in this kind of topic seems like a lost cause.

This is something I already mentione in another thread but Jorge thought that enough time has passed.

Yet there is a specific announcement that you should use the tags. The mind boggles.

I wouldn't mind if you guys use the tags.

There's not much I can spoil when I just know fragments from here and there (now I know a pretty big fragment since the final boss was revealed). I pretty much just answer to spoilers already made.

But yes, I agree.

No, there is no entity called Death.  The reapers in LoS are the physical manifestation of death in this game.  So, instead of having one supreme entity called Death, you have a bunch of lesser entities that represent it.  Also, those reapers aren't pushovers.  In a group, they can kill you in a number of seconds if you aren't careful.

Reapers can kill you in 2 hits. 2 HITS. And they swing twice per attack too!

While that might be true, I was thinking more of a brief comparsion between the two games as oppose to the thread to stray away and evolving into topic about about Zobek = Death because of a specific scene.  I wouldn't expect spoilers in here unless I mention spoilers in the heading.  Besides, if you guys have to mention spoilers, please use the spoiler tags.  I haven't beaten the game yet, which I made clear a few times (someone got the point in avoiding to mention spoilers here).  Remember that not everyone passed LOS yet since it is only a few months old and there are going to be someone here so wants a generic or brief comparsion of the two games.  I apologized for not being blunt the first time, so I changed the title to say to use spoilers tags.

Not to be mean, but three things come to mind:

1. If you haven't beaten the game, you might wanna avoid threads that deal with the story of LoS as inevitably people will assume that you know it already.
2. I put in the News Header to tread carefully in LoS thread, as spoilers are abound.
3. The game came out nearly three months ago.

What did you think was going to happen?  People would tiptoe around a key story point when the thread title should have given you a clue that there would be talk of post-ending stuff (I only noticed just now that it says (plz no spoilers), was that recently added or was that always there?).

EDIT: You did the right thing by adding that to the thread title, but you should have done that in the first place if you did not want to be spoiled.

You're not helping.

It only boggles if you were not aware that that particular news item is now three months old.
I'm going to go remove it now, so that it doesn't cause other people's minds to boggle.

It's not really a spoiler since it just comes out in one of those Hideo Kojima cutscenes where you find out that everyone has been manipulating everyone else. Seemingly they just ran out of people actually in the plot to reveal were manipulating other people, so Satan shows up looking like he was kicked off Facebook for being too emo and you have a fight and then a series of things happen that nobody understands. Seriously, you could replace him with Snidely Whiplash or Doctor Robotnik and you wouldn't have to change anything.

Well lets agree to disagree that Death is unaccounted for in this game, just a bunch of necromancers including one very very very powerful necromancer god.

[Kale]

both origin story kind of sucks imo....

LOI a bit more so as it didn't say much about drac at all, while los is all drac and abandons belmonts

Yeah, it really pissed me off that this part of the game mentions "doing battle with Death himself" which... never really ends up happening at all. Why all the cockteases without following through? It really only added to the feeling of the game being "bait and switch."

[crystos]

well didnlt thewy say that gabriel is NOT a belmont from birth? I wonder how they will go with this.. are their true belmonts that will be introduced and somehow tied in?

[crisis]

They will just be borrowing eachothers names in this timeline.

No, Gabriel is the first Belmont in this continuity. He chose the name for himself due to his love of the mountains. And they really just namedropped him being a Cronqvist as a mythos nod to Mathias Cronqvist being the IGAverse's Dracula
