No more throwaway than the rest of the self contained games.
Agreed, but to put so much emphasis on this game then abandon it just sets me in a bad mood
Quote
How?
Trevor was the First Belmont to make the Family famous, the origins of Leon was not a bad idea, but to have his best friend Dracula HAS to be a conflict in canon
Quote
Huh. as if the other origins actually went anywhere either.
agreed, but the unseen origins gave him a questionable origin like Joker, which made him alot better
Quote
what..? I dont get what you mean here. you mean you find it impossible for Belmonts to exist and NOT kill dracula for a few centuries? How? Remember that Dracula did not start his war against humanity until his second wife was killed under the accusation of witchcraft
Its the establishment of the conflict so insignificantly early is the flaw, Belmonts and Dracula can exist in the past, but it was Trevor who started the whole tradition.
Quote
What? it did? what game?
the wii-like arcade game where dracula comes out of hiding for the first time
Quote
Aria and Dawn are only 2 games, friend.
I wish I could agree, but there are references in PoR and in OoE about the War to be
Quote
but ultimately, I have to agree a little bit.
I Agree with your points too, Its mostly that I'm a bit angery on the focus of the Games since AoS, it seemed IGA wanted to focus on a big fight and the end of the franchise rather than work with this plausable origin story which could spawn many games in a Pre-Trevor Era

the best dracula is the one that NEVER 'fell in love and had babies'
alucards dad (dracula) is a weiner dracula.
mathias is a puss... 'wah my wife died. damn you god, to spite you and well... myself... i'm going to become a devil' = lame

gabriel... all around bad ass. never meant to become cursed, didn't 'hate' god, and still wrecked havoc and chaos throughout the ages (so much that satan dared not move until gabriel was in a weakned state) the only thing he's left to do, is die. but he can't. bad ass.

I'm pretty sure he hates god, like he hates everyone else in that game.

he hates himself for being controlled and killing his wife and Claudia, he hates the lords of shadow and Satan for using him, I think he begins to hate his wife for lying to him about the mask, and I'm also sure he probably hates god for keeping him on earth, not giving him his wife back and for having a worthless mask.

Gabriel pretty much hates everything by the end of the game and DLC, the only one he doesn't is Laura, but now she's dead too.
What a horrible night to have a curse!

by the end of the game... i think he mostly hates himself. for being such a blinded fool. i dont' think he gets hateful until much later. at what point.. yes, he probably began to hate god. but eh... i can not begin to guess.

and i don't count the DLC's. i enjoyed playing them. enjoyed the new scenery, and robert carlyles wonderful narration.. but other than that... nooooope...

redo!! or at least a sequal.

I don't think Gabe ever hated god.  At the end of LoS, he just didn't have anything to live for anymore.  He had in essence lost everything that mattered to him.  The only reason he went to help Laura was because he owed her for sparing his life.

i agree to this. by endgame (dlc's nonwithstanding) that's all i thought. i didn't see that rage or hate. the epilogue however, it was apparent that something had happened. i mean... obviously. LOL there is also a fine line between gabriel and the evil that consumed him. i mean. sure, the evil hated god. gabriel's essence has been swollowed by the evil by the time the epilogue rolls around. but ah well, i don't think we'll ever know when this switch occurs or why...

yes i know it's riddled with spelling errors. LOL but i'm too tired to care.
