Topic: why there's still hope

[Dengo vlad tepes]

So long as there is still one fan bitching about this series, there is hope!

But seriously, how many IGAvanias are there? If you are unhappy with the direction that Konami has decided to take the series, there are plenty of other CV games to play. In fact, new games in general just don't interest me that much anymore, but there are tons of old games out there that will always be awesome.

All this time bitching about things online that we have no control over could be better spent, I don't know, outside & talking to women?

So why are you here ?! if you have nothing to say , go out of the whole forum because of this site made for castlevania fans and !! i post this thread on the general discussion forum to talk and discuss with peoples .. nothing more or nothing less , if you have nothing to say so please be silent , you must know that your noiselessness is a gold and i'll be so grateful if you did

What are these "outside" and "women" you speak of?

I heard there is nothing that makes a girl feel more hot and bothered than complaining to her about the Castlevania series.

[beingthehero]

Also what is an IGAvania

I've been here since 2002 because I am a CV fan, and whenever I poke at people who take things too seriously, it's fun to watch them swell up and explode like you just did.

My original post consisted of only that first line, but I realized it was just troll post so I went back and added something meaningful: If you don't like LoS and whatever else MS churns out, don't play them, pretty simple. The old CV games will always be there, and they will always be great. I don't like Justin Beiber, but bitching about him all day won't make him go away.

What are these "outside" and "women" you speak of?

I don't know, but the way I hear people talk about them, they seem to be the antithesis of video games. Does that mean Jack Thompson is a woman, or is he an outside?

Also what is an IGAvania

All of the CV games produced by Koji Igarashi. This includes SotN, as well as every game released afterward, save for Legends, both N64 games, and CotM (and LoS, obviously.) He also worked on RoB, but he wasn't a producer.

Honestly, the terms "classicvania" "metroidvania" "alucardvania" and "igavania" all sound retarded and does nothing but belittle the CASTLEVANIA name. Whoever coined these terms should be shot.

[thernz]

iirc bimmy lee is the guy who coined up classicvania

but it was as a joke

welp

IMO the only two terms that count are Classicvania and Metroidvania. One referring to the strictly linear pathway platformers of CV1-X, and MetroidVanias referring to the Metroid style open world Symphony - Dawn.


They are convenient terms to describe the two prominent halves of the Castlevania series.

Not sure what you could Call LoS though...

'Modernvania?"

[Kingshango]

It's a toss up between either "GodofWarvania" or "Modernvania."

Perferably I suggest "Modernvania" since it's shorter and it's easier to say than "GodofWarvania". Plus a Modernvania could consist's of Modern or mainstream game design.

I'm playing through Lords of Shadow right now and it's certainly more entertaining and engulfing than a lot of IGA's CV productions. Not understanding the hate.

Because it's more engulfing and entertaining than a lot of IGA's CV productions.

That's certainly the case. The game is alright, just like Uncharted, God of War, Shadow of Colossus, Zeldas, Marios and many other experiences. I mean, it's not like Castlevania has that many great games in it's library.
It's just bad as Castlevania game.
