Topic: LoS: Why do some fans hate it?

[Ahasverus]

To be completely honest, I think Gabriel is quite handsome, I'd like to see how he'll look in Dracula mode without the grief face.

He may not be a pretty boy, but I don't doubt of his sex appeal.

[Sumac]

it just instantly tells me they strayed too far from the rest of the series and makes me wonder what they were thinking

As I said before, undoubtely its the biggest design flaw of the LOS.

Though I must say, when I saw Kojima designed Belmonts for the first time, my first thought was: "WTF is that?!" However I never hated games for it and never said that "it couldn't be in Castlevania". Maybe I am just that openminded and doesn't care about superficial shit too much.

But yeah, the outfit itself is just as distinct from the classic heroes as any of Ayami's, in terms of actual clothing details, ornamentation, etc. It's its own thing, which I'm sure they were intending considering it was the base for the other Brotherhood members. It's pretty unique.

I don't see why something new should be instantly considred alien to the series. I bet many people thought that Alucard design was pretty alien to the series back in 1997. And see what happened 15 years forward.

uhhhhh

[thernz]

I wasn't calling it alien. I even grouped the Ayami designs, like Alucard, with it in how different it is from the old Belmonts.

and Castlevania should never be a "dark fairy tale," gtfo here with that nonsense


they should make the next Zelda game a futuristic sci-fi epic just so they can get new fans & more moneys (swords replaced with laser swords, as long as gameplay remains intact lol)

b-but change is always good & for the better, guys, remember this?

Yes, Dudebro Zelda, where everybody's wielding a sort of heavy duty sci-fi blaster, and is decked in space marine armor. Where guys have necks larger than their heads!

I kinda joked elsewhere regarding my idea of a Pac-Man reboot, as according to how modern culture would do it(just to poke fun at modern society). Set in a futuristic world, where a nuclear war decimated the majority of the population. The few surviving colonies live in safe ground, protected from the Gene Ghosts. Gene Ghosts are spirit-like entities that were melded into the fabric of reality, forbidden to "pass on", so they enact their scorn on the few living survivors. That's where the PAC-Men come in. PAC(Paranormal Assault & Containment) are a group of skilled soldiers who treck out into the labyrinthian ruins of the old world to recover "Power Pellets", compressed energy crystals created from the nuclear fallout that are used to power the energy shields around the colonies, and have the power to weaken the Gene Ghosts.

So, basically, the team is composed of PAC-Man(typical dudebro, ex-marine badass), Ms PAC(Former secret government agent), Junior PAC(ex-homeless kid who uses his street smarts when navigating the ruins), Baby PAC(sexdoll and former stripper, recruited because she's a deadshot) and Super PAC(nicknamed "The Super" because he can fix any problem, African-American, the stature of a linebacker who created most of their hi-tech weaponry).  Hell, c'mon Hollywood. You know you wanna make it into a movie. Get Michael Bay to direct!

I don't think theres anyone in the world that wants a sci fi Zelda game.

However there's a alarming amount of people that would like to see a steampunk Zelda though.

[Dremn]

For Dracula, I'm just imaging what Gabe looked like at the end of Resurrection. White, greyed out hair, whited out pupils, paler skin. For his wardrobe, probably some twisted version of his armor with an even sharper Gothic flair of some sort.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm just not expecting the Dracula we know from Iga's vision to appear.

[beingthehero]

I imagine in Lords 2 he will become Alucard. He doesn't seem totally evil at the end of Lords, just conflicted between light and dark.

[Dremn]

I heard a rumor Alucard is supposed to be in Castlevania 3DS, but we'll see.

[K.G. Morder]

I imagine in Lords 2 he will become Alucard. He doesn't seem totally evil at the end of Lords, just conflicted between light and dark.

Seems pretty ruthless and merciless to me. Not to mention he DIDN'T get his wife back, after killing the Lords of Shadow in God's name and even defeating Satan himself. More than conflicted he seems right about to plunge right off the deep end into madness.

As a certain Clown once said, "All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy".

I'd say Gabe's had a pretty bad FEW days.

[beingthehero]

If he tries to redeem himself though, it might set the path for him to become Alucard. He's ruthless, sure, but so was Hector.

[K.G. Morder]

Hector didn't become Dracula. people forget that here. He became Dracula in the flash forward, he seems pretty "overlord of darkness" to me. Well, 'former' overlord of darkness. All broody and sinister like. I imagine at his prime he might have been a force to be reckoned with. Zobek implies that Gabriel renamed himself Dracula some time ago.

"No doubt you once were.."

Better try and to do something new, instead of repeating the same thing over and over. Stagnation kills.

[Dark Nemesis]

I agree with that, but some times the new attempt, might have the same effect with Stagnation, if it doesn't meet the standars of the product!!!
