Topic: What are your current thoughts on the Dracula X Chronicles?

[Claimh Solais]

everything in that shit of game is recycled

1) Don't say HD was shit. I play the hell outta that game. I have over, like, 200 hours on my Alucard alone.

2) Not everything. They did go out of their way to make some stuff, though a lot of it feels severely half-assed. All the dual-crush poses were new, Julius's running animation, his eight directional whipping animations on the ground and in the air, Richter's straight-downward jumpkick, Simon's backdash, jump kicks and slide, as well as a new hit frame, etc. etc. Please note I said a lot of it feels half-assed, which it was for the most part.

• Julius's new sprites were terribly shaded.
• The dual crush poses were like, two frames, some were just sprite-overs.
• Richter's jump kick was just splicing and slight editing of other frames.
• Everything but the slide and jump kicks of Simon's new frames were spliced. So that's like, two frames.

HD was shit.

Cuz I pretty much said everything I had to say about DXC on the few other pages, and I was responding to your post. :\

Oh sorry I thought you were affinity, but HD is still Shit, Scheit, Scheiße, Merde, Mierda, Merda, Drit, خرا, etc...

While I do think the fact that they didn't even change the layout of the rooms was bull-turd, and just pulled stuff from other games completely, I thought the game played well, and was pretty fun multiplayer.

But in order to stay ontopic, I'll have to say the DXC redesigns are far better than the originals. The originals looked generic and terribly anime-like (why does everyone say animu, by the way?). The new ones fit perfectly into the timeline. Maria, though, was originally gonna have a dress, but the rag-doll physics on the cloth would make it hard to put in. <----That was being lazy, but I can't complain seeing as DXC is my favorite CV.

I agree, it's a good game that got bad sellings just because the Cvgeeks didn't approved it.

- I did like the bonuses.
- I did like RoB's music better at some points but the new soundtrack is very good too.
- I didn't like that they replaced the intro of Richter.
- I didn't like Maria.

- I wish Richter had more powers, I was actually expecting they improve that too. Like, for example, the ones he has on SoTN, or some new abilities wouldn't hurt.
- I wish RoB's emulation would have been better and with the original intro in german.
- I wish people stop being such douchebags to the point of buying the game just to get the SoTN.

Above all DXC is a good game and I had fun playing it, but in the end it didn't completely filled my expectations. What I mean to say is that DXC is not the ultimate remake of RoB, the original hasn't been surpassed yet.

^ I think the problem is reversed. CVgeeks approved it, but no one else really cared.

Also, I think Richter's powers are fine. If they gave him the powers he has in Symphony of the Night, they'd have to change the entire game or the game really wouldn't be worth playing. Powers, in and of themselves, are not that important. It's how those powers interact with things around them that matters, and Symphony of the Night Richter's powers would basically destroy the entire game.

Yeah, I don't remember anyone in here giving the game any particular bombing judgments, and we pretty much care for the title.
Hell, some of us **raises hand** got a PSP-Slim just for that title.  I think that's the one thing I hate the most about it (and it has nothing to do with the game; the game is goodstuff.... just wish it came out on PS2 or PS3).

[Claimh Solais]

It'd be funny (and in all honesty, I wouldn't mind) if the new CV with the portraits and everything was an HD remake of DXC with a revamped menu. ^.^

But everyone knows that if you own a PS3, you don't need to get a PSP. You can download and play (almost) any PSP game on your PS3. DXC being one of them (that's how I played it the first time ever).

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

This wasn't true when it came out.
Also, I didn't have a PS3 when it came out.  It was still ridiculously expensive to me.

[Puwexil]

I'm pretty sure the common (but not universal) press mentality at the time of release was "get it for Symphony!", which was counterproductive and point-missing to say the least, especially how Symphony is arbitrarily locked in the depths of the remake proper to begin with. Sometimes it just seemed people didn't know what they were getting into with the game when Symphony was paraded as the main event, so there was a lot of "no this is too difficult and archaic" misgivings, when Rondo is anything but. It was weird to see.

What? Since when? I recall it not playing PSP games being why I never got on in the first place at release.

Does it play full screen, unlike my PSP2000? Is there a way to verify you have the legit UMD and download the digital copy free of charge?

Yea... I didn't get a psp for it, but I bought it for my friend to play it on his psp.

I downloaded it from PSN, using my PS3.

This wasn't true when it came out.
Also, I didn't have a PS3 when it came out.  It was still ridiculously expensive to me.

Well yeah, it wasn't like that when it came out, but of course, I didn't get re-interested in the CV series until after Judgment came out.
 That's the whole way I got the game. Of course, I bought the UMD a couple months later cuz my PS3 broke.
