Topic: The Official Mirror of Fate Opinion Poll

Cautiously optimistic. It looks great so far, but it's too early. Maybe I'll have a better idea on Friday.

Cautiously optimistic. It has serious potential to be something truly great.

A good reason for clean from the dust my 3DS.
Anyway Day 1 for me and i'll expect a collectors edition.

There should be some kind of anniversary bundle for this game. I know the real anniversary was last year, but the american 25th anniversary is this year. Sooo, a special designed 3DS with maybe some gorgeous castle artwork on it, and the game, in a bundle for a nice price. I'd be all over that.

Day 1 for me, if they release a CE, I will get it too!. I already have  a 3DS, so I'm ready.

[Neobelmont]

It's all about that special collection

I knew I would need it for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance when it comes out.

+1 for kingdom hearts 3D one month left =O

[JR]

Pre-ordering this whenever available, and getting the deluxe/collector's/whatever if they have one. But that's no different than any other Castlevania game for me, to tell the truth.

Bring on the lemon wedges!

This poll leaves out pretty much any nuanced negative vote options, like "I can see I'll have real problems with the game from the description of it in the article, so I probably won't get it without more info" or "Doesn't look Metroidvaniay enough for me." A bit surprising given who made it.

Day 1 purchase for me. Well, maybe day 2 or 3 depending on when I get paid

I dunno, "I will never buy any LoS games --even in 2D..." seems pretty negative

This is a record!  None of my polls have had so many votes in a 24 hour period!

Criticism becomes more nuanced once a game is actually played --or at the very least, seen in action.  This poll is more about gauging the forum's enthusiasm based on the first impressions.  Mirror of Fate is an opportunity to answer fan complaints, and it looks like there may be a legitimate effort to acknowledge and reconnect.  Looking at these numbers, the first impression appears to be very positive.  Moreover, we can see that those who don't already own the 3DS are committing to invest by 11 to 3 --that's over 78%!

Although, more than 48% have said "Day 1 purchase", there is a glut of apprehension as well.  30% describe themselves as "cautiously optimistic" or "once burned twice shy".  And rather distantly, the committed non-buyers are coming in at 10%...

Just because I've seen this forum's opinions change rather quickly in the past, I've given everyone the option to change their vote if something upsetting causes any kind of a backlash.  And if needed I can always add additional options at that time.  As of right now however, the negatives don't need any detailed explanation.

I will buy any LoS games--even in 2D... 



Hell I just want some cv action

[shelverton.]

LoS games, IGA games, classicvanias.... I buy them all. This will be no exception.
The only Castlevania I was never interested in was Harmony of Despair. So I didn't get it and probably never will.
