Topic: why there's still hope

[Kingshango]

you motherfuckers D:

Spoiler tags exist. Use 'em.

Awe man I forgot you were in the middle of playing it, my bad. Although Im surprised that you didn't know about it since it's pretty much common knowledge by now.

Edit: I've added spoiler warnings to my post, unfortunately the other posters have quoted me so it's out in the open unless they go back and edit them, sorry.

Might wanna stay off the forums till you finish though, they're far more thing we've have not mentioned in this thread that are critical to the plot.

[Abnormal Freak]

Oh please. we've been discussing these things ever since it came out. (which was a long while ago)

If this were a fucking LOS discussion thread, that'd be one thing. I avoid those threads—and I also barely ever venture into the CV section of the board.

Anyway, I'll get over it. I still love you guys. :o But damn...

I mean, I already kinda saw where things were going with

the mention of Gabriel possibly being from the Cronqvist family,

but still. It's nice to see things unfold.

First : i apologize for not keep the spoiling thing on my mind and i respect that you're still playing the game

second : you just need to stay away of the general discussions forums until you beat the game , cuz there are many game and stuffs will be mentioned not only los but many will be spoiled .

We have more clever ideas than they do.

Yeah, sure. Let's remake SOTN over and over and over...
No thanks. I prefer to see what MS writers has in stock.

Of course you do.

We're revamping SOTN even better than konami did with the psp and xbox360 version ... ESCO !

Let's remake Lords of Shadow instead!

well , we only deal with true castlevania games sorry ... XD

[Ahasverus]

well , we only deal with true castlevania games sorry ... XD

Exactly, neither we do with Super Metroid clones

But the metroid style castlevanias won both old school fans and the new comers by mixing two castlevania styles ! the old school one and the new one

but sadly CV los , lost alooot alot of fans it brought nothing just replace the game we have always loved and grown with

Oh really? where is your proof? And how could you said that it's not the same that happened with LoS? (I dno't know if it happened, so I won't go out and say that everyone loves it, because that's false, same with SOTN you know)

The argument that make LoS haters who say "LoS is Gow with a castlevania coat of  paint" could be said with SOTN. And it's just as stupid.

[Dengo vlad tepes]

its easy , they kept the story which the first castlevania game started with ... ^^ so most of the fans got interested and maybe you can ask the ooooold ooold old school fans like jorge and many peoples who played both metroidvanias and classicvanias

And what about people who played the three eras and liked those three? (as you said, ask Jorge...) see,there's the flaw of your argument, you say LoS is not  CV game.. for YOU, and quite a few people yes, but it could be said the same for whom SOTN and its children are not CV games.

And if anything, LoS is how an Old School vania (say, "true" castlevania)  would look like in modern times. Linear, atmospheric, location-varied, slashing type, with a few puzzles here and there, oh, and big bosses, very big bosses.

(And no, SOTN doesn't have the same story of old castlevanias, Dracula was Count Dracula alias Movie Dracula until 2003, there was no Vampire killer per se - it was a different whip each time, play Simon's Quest) also SOTN retconed plot points from ROB and Cv3 the same HoD to SQ. See? The story you "know and love" has been as constant as Dracula's look.

I've said it, and I'll said it again, LoS hate reasons are completely aesthetic. If it had less vibrnant colors, if Gabriel was an anrdorgenus pretty boy and if music was j-pop and "catchy", haters would be drooling all over it.

Sad, because CV was not like that until 1996.

I can play this game too:


Man I hated Symphony of the Night. It just isn't a true Castlevania.

Where is the linear straight path to or through Dracula's castle? What is this RPG stuff? The music sucks too, there's no older themes from previous games! Theres no music I recognize! OH BIG WHOOP, TWO REMIXED TRACKS FROM DRACULA X.

Why does Alucard look like a long haired pretty boy? He looks like a woman! Where's my tough looking manly Belmonts? What!? Richter is the enemy and the Lord of the Castle? That's stupid. Why would they Make a Belmont the bad guy? What the fuck, Konami? And why does Richter look like a woman too?

And sorry, If I wanted to play Metroid I would have played Metroid, they should make up their own unique gameplay instead of copying Super Metroid's open world and upgrade system. And they totally copied Metroid's super jump, by the way. How unoriginal can they get!
