Topic: Pachislot III?

[thernz]

Yes, it kind of sucked IGA didn't acknowledge the anniversary at all. I even congratulated him on his facebook page. ;__;

Pachislot is still better than lawds, though!   

iga doesn't want to talk about it because he's too grief-ridden

Ok. You can have fun with your pinball machine, ill go back to my videogame.

KoJ sure hasnt.

It's because they have enacted a strict zero tolerance policy on the lesser known franchises. As an employee, if you are caught mentioning Contra, Castlevania, Parodius, or even Sparkster, you are severely beaten and thrown in the Konami dungeon for two months. You are only allowed to eat cheese flavored Calorie Mate and each day you must produce one speech praising Metal Gear Solid or lengthen your sentence by another month.

Nintendo has a similar policy but it only applies to Metroid.

cheers to Cox, even though LoS borrowed elements, it was at least a GOOD castlevania Console game.
I want you to make a console timeline.

IGA, HD didn't suck, OoE was amazing, so cheer the fuck up before I have to slap you!
I want YOU to make a handheld tmeline, Now that handhelds are AMAZING, you're sure to have some new fans quick.

Hideo Kojima, If you were forced to make an original story without borrowing from movies you wouldn't have a career.
after MGS4, I hate everything about you. over cocky prick.

Konami, MGS isn't the only franchise you have, need I have to bring up the wai wai World games?
You suck Konami, at least Capcom is Trying to regain thier megaman fans, TRYING, which is something you obviously putting effort to avoid doing.

Still MGS is far more known, profitable and popular than Castlevania in the last...15 years or so.
You can continue with your (fruitless and useless) hatred. 

Fanboism of what exactly?   

Of old formula(s) / story to the point that logic is completely evaporated.
But if said person thinks that gamble machine is better, just because it copypaste stuff from old games in random order, rather than quality and fullfleshed new entry in the series with a new story...I can only feel sorry for that person. Or to citate old meme "this is why you can't have nice things".
With such approach said person will wait for her "ideal / good" Castlevania for a very long time. Eternity that is the name of it.

I could understand such talk (no really I can't, but I could give it a try) if there were talks about new full-fleshed CV game set in the old universe - 2D, 3D, DLC or on the disk, but comparing cheap gamble machine to the normal game? Hardcore, really hardcore.

As of right now, we don't have ANY announced game to look forward to. Happy frickin' Anniversary, Castlevania. 25 big years and all Konami has to show for it are DLC(LoS), online bash hash(HoD) and pachislot III.

So much rage over the Angela games.

sigh.

I could appreciate her much better if she was in an actual game.

Why is it well known?
The gameplay style was Original.
It is one of the first games in the U.S. to have GOOD voice acting and awesome cutscenes.
While stumbling on MGS2 which is basically MGS1 with a twist, it still was solid.
MGS3, the best in the series was the perfect game to borderline game and movies.
Some years pass and that hock of shit MGS4 comes out, while still sporting some of the best gameplay of all the games, when the fuck are you actually playing it?
Since then every character named Snake has been endlessly rambling the same shit "war is hell" and "the horrors of war" for hours and Forced messages just makes someone who pays attention to the now assinine story punch a wall.

MGS games' Story borrow more from movies and also being shittier with the story more and more while Hideo's Ego boosts higher and Higher.

I only hate Hideo only because his head and konami itself is shoved so far up his ass thier seeing MGS Narnia.

He should humble himself down and pay more attention to his other projects and then he'll be respected again by people who actually CARE for QUALITY.

Pachislot is not the old formula nor does it have much of a story. It might not be an actual video game but at least it captures the essence of the Castlevania series, which Lords doesn't, period.   

Also, just because I don't like the new direction Lords is taking doesn't mean I'm conservative and I don't have an open mind like you like to shout for some reason. It seems more to me like an act of inadequacy because you don't like people think lawds is an embarrassment and betrayal to the Castlevania fanbase.

So if anybody is being a whiny fanbrat here, it's you. Most people here don't like the shitty reboot. Deal with it.             

[Super Waffle]

Can we please stop talking about that second rate God of War ripoff that only had the word "Castlevania" thrown into its title during the last stage of production in the Angela thread?

i mean jesus

LoL at those who want to play the pachislot.  It's not a CV game, hell it's not even a video game.  It's just people using an image/franchise which sells to a particular group, and getting them to try gambling.  Go to vegas and see what I mean - every slot machine in there has the theme of an old TV show or movie to attract that audience, which happens to be retired people.  The reason we don't see mario/nintendo/cv slot machines in the USA is because they could never get away with targeting a very young audience, but apparently that's not the case in Japan. 
Those marketing people are saying: "Let's use this image/theme to draw them in and get them lose their money!"  and those who say they want to play the pachislot are like little sheep for them to lead.  It's creepy.

Man, there's a lot of Lords of Shadow hatred in this forum, Jesus.  Lighten up, guys.  Lords of Shadow is an alright game.

I'll chime in and say I'd rather plan ANY videogame that's real over playing a gambling game with some familiar franchise decals/videos/etc. slap-dashed on top of it to try and fool me into thinking I'm playing an actual title of said franchise.

So yes, I'll take playing TETRIS over playing Pachislot games.  Unless, y'know, I'm in Atlantic City/Vegas, etc.

We're not that bad compared to the Anti-Chapel's super-saiyan lvl 3 hatred for LAWDS. There's prolly like 2 or 3 people there that enjoyed it

I mean come on, it's "Castlevania:The Movie" for a home console, and as misguided as MercurySteam's views on the series may be, at least they put in more effort than IGA's 3D console team (i don't know who was in charge of the 64 vania's so those are debateable)
