no iga is a delicate flower

You know what happens to delicate flowers right? They get crushed.

White Flower Bare foot crush

Made that too easy Thernz 

Oh and too the folks who DVed me what has IGA done currently that would make an invidual go wow? Tell me 


Do not know why I am being a jackball right now.

 Just wanted to type downvoted without really typing it (the plus minus thing). Sometimes I become a bit lazy when typing

[TheouAegis]

Both the interviewer and Cocx showed a bit of naivety. If the interviewer was only interested in the Batman movies, then IGA would be more like Joel Schumaker. Actually in the whole of the Batman/Castlevania universe, IGA is closer to Schumaker than Burton. Cox should have said he's Schumaker in keeping chronology, but in terms of game personalities, IGA is definitely a Schumaker and Cox may as well be a Nolan. But the interviewer bumbled by comparing IGA to Burton, thereby suggesting the NES and Gameboy games were the equivalent of Batman The TV series. The NES team was much closer to Burton than IGA could ever be.

What the fuck kind of question is this? It's funny there's still people here that harbor such hatred for IGA when in reality, he's probably, um you know, a decent human being. And his games aren't bad, either.

Probably the same reason you're getting "DVed"

Ehh not a big one I'll tell you. As for hating IGA well it's not like I was saying he is a horrible person or the devil so in the end do I really hate IGA? Nah. All the time I have been here I never really said anything bad/sarcastic/mean about him, Yet I  should have known better for typing something that could be seen as malicious. Yes it was a jackball thing to do then again  that probably does not excuse what I did huh.

This batman analogy is kind of poor.

Also neither IGA nor Cox are one-man teams responsible for every facet of the games they have produced. The directors are the ones with the power, which is why Takeda Takashi said that he was the one who decided that HoD should focus on graphics over sound quality. It's right on this site, under the linear notes for the HoD/CotM soundtrack.

Kind of like how movie directors are the ones who make the decisions! People don't blame Transformers' producer, Steven Speilberg, for swinging Decepticon balls in Transformers 2; they blame the director, Michael Bay.

Also IGA has mentioned that he has been overridden a few times like with Judgment, when he wanted Don't Wait Until Midnight to be Simon's theme instead of Vampire Killer.

it is just an analogy.
goodness.
no one is calling someone a cockadoodieface here.
it's just a comparison.
 
that's it.

and i don't even like the new batmans >< or even the old ones >O<

that was my long winded way of saying chill out folks.
this was just a humorous post.

[shelverton.]

Yeah, people are really taking this comparision so seriously and literal. I still think it's pretty accurate, even if IGA is not doing the EXACT same thing as Burton. That was not even the point. The point was explaining how the IGA games and Cox games are related to each other, and that they're two different takes on the very same thing. I don't see what's so incredibly wrong with that.

This whole topic was meant to be a funny almost lighthearted and humorous scene not a serious one that's why I posted it. Come on IGA as Adam West version of batman gives a good chuckle. Heck I just liked the pictures rather than the actual Article

It's still fun I guess...

LoK games are vastly overrated. The only one that was any good was Soul Reaver.

I vastly disagree!

I won't say the gameplay was the bestest of all or nothing, but the gameplay was okay. The story was what drove it home. LoS was vastly overrated.

In your opinion which game would be good for someone like me who has never played a LoK title should start? From what I am reading the story seems good so I am thinking I have to start from the first game.

This goes for anyone I have never touched A LoK title

Start with Soul Reaver, then SR2, (they run really ast on PC nowdays!) then Defiance. BO2 is not worth playing, BO1 is REALLY worth playing before Soul Reaver 1 but it's a bitch to run it. Believe everyone when they say it has a hell of a story.

I love a good story 

These were all on PC? not sure if my pc can handle games but they were on the PS1 right all of them? So the games must not cost that much right? Was thinking they might cost as much as Sotn or worst Sukikoden II that cost an arm. All what I have mostly for the PS1 are rpgs since square kicked way too much butt so a good action game would do me well besides Sotn and mega man 8 and resident evil.

Thanks Ahasverus

If your PC is less than 5 years old you could run them on max.
Blood Omen 1 came out for PC, but it wouldn't be bad to play it in a PSX emulator, it could be better, actually.
Soul Reaver 1 came out on PC and that's the recommended version (Far prettier  ) Also, runs great!
Soul Reaver 2 as a PS2 game so its prettier and the PC version is great too.
Blood Omen 2 was better on PC than consoles but still.. Ehm, play it if you are really engaged, otherwise wiki it.
Defiance was a 2005 game a little more taxing than SR2 (But not much) and better played with joystiq/pad. A great game and a satisfing conclusion.

I think Cox and MS could do far worse than taking example from Legacy of Kain.
