Topic: Operation: Akumajo commencing Viral Campaign

[Sindra]

Now, things are worse than ever before, because the games aren't even good.

Bitch to Konami then, not us. Saying over and over "Well this sucks and that sucks and the franchise is going down the shitter...yadda yadda...." doesn't do dick unless communicated to the right people.

How about actually doing something?




Like getting your goddamn website and forums up active again. Just saying.

You guys want to help do something without needing to put forth a lot of effort? Retweet shit like this that you want Konami/Cox/MS to know irks you, but without being demanding - http://twitter.com/#!/CVSyndicate/status/109691359803359232

I saw this earlier and did retweet it. It's so, so sad though. It really does seem like Konami just doesn't care about the series anymore.

[Munchy]

I also retweeted the thing, because that really is sad. Who the fuck cares about Frogger anymore?

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

I, too, retweeted it.

[Claimh Solais]

I read nigh six pages of more of the same stuff that's been said over 9000 times elsewhere on this board, with only a few people like Sindra actually trying to stay on topic. >.>

Seriously guys? Try not to let a lot of the threads here derail into LoS hate, we hate change, HD sucks, Judgment sucks etc. etc.

And now, back on topic:

I think that some stuff could be done to change the mission statement. Though I am an admin for OP: Akumajo, I don't think I'mma go changing things up without talking to Cecil about it first, though. What OP: Akumajo should be doing is encouraging all of the types of CV that we have thus far. You know, Classicvanias, Metroidvanias, 3DVanias, MSVanias, etc. We shouldn't diss one and favor another, because it's ridiculously unprofessional and makes us look like total douchebags, not that I'm saying anyone here actually is.

I'll try my best to promote this on other places.

Oh and... How about a website or something? That might be good, or even OP: Akumajo's own forum, so that others can join it without being arsed to make Facebooks, since I know a lot of us here don't like Facebook.

So then your saying what we should be doing is encouraging Konami to embrace Castlevania's diversity as opposed to throwing all of it's previous genres (?) out with the trash? which is what it currently looks like.

I absolutely agree with this

Of course I think the only way Konami would ever listen to us is if we all promised to give them a ridiculously large sum of money...    and then they would probably just use it to make  a new frogger game

[crisis]

Or we could just make a "100,000 strong for WayForward to make a Castlevania game" lol


only in my wildest dreams
that's why we must vote for pedro

the pedro president thing

Heh after hearing about the absurdly high levels of gore they've put into Bloodrayne: betrayal I actually don't think I could get behind a Wayforward Castlevania game for fear of it being turned into a shallow blood filled beat'em up game. Mind you in Bloodraynes case they are probably just matching the content of it's source material, still irks me though.

Its all about advertising, look at all the Hype GoW3 got and that shit stunk, Look at all the hype of MGS4 and it stunk too
Look at MvC3, It was overhyped and it was a shitty Beta!

My point is, Even if the is horrible, Its all about advertising and Paying reviewers to Hype it up.

[Rugal]

You're all wasting your time.

Castlevania is dead and it's not coming back after 100 years either.

Konami (Japan) twitter policy

The inquiry of Twitter might be meaningless.

What I don't understand is Konami's apparently "very pleased" with the sales performance of LoS - best selling entry in a while - and then they decide "herp derp, better not give any news for about a year amirite lol?"

[Sonic_Reaper]

We already know that a sequel is coming though.  The writing is on the wall.  If Konami is pleased with the sales of LoS, well guess what, that's where Castlevania is headed.  The "fans" are going to continue to get HoD and similar titles to tide them over, but all the resources will be put into LoS, and crafting that as a reboot of the series.

On topic ... if you want this movement to even succeed in the slightest, you're going to need waaa-haaay more members.  I would support it, but I neither use Facebook or Twitter.

There was a similar campaign for Xenoblade, where preorders were actually made, and Nintendo still said no.  I don't know how pigheaded Konami is, but it seems 99% of all companies are the same, so I doubt there will be any change.  I mean, the suits know these campaigns exist, it's not like they're blind to them.  Unfortunately, numbers is all that speaks, and to the Konami suits, it says that LoS is where the series is headed, whether we like it or not!

Funny you should mention that, since Sega's money woes are legendary.
