The Castlevania Thread

Some Castlevania lulz: [media=youtube]LeNr33gIhIM&feature=player_embedded[/media]

Can’t wait for this new Castlevania. Hideo Kojima can do no wrong.

Oh god loooooooooooooooool. :rofl: Funniest Mega64 in a while. I love those guys.

I just have a $20 off credit from Amazon.

hey specs, if you are from edmonton
why dont you ever post in the edmonton thread? ARE YOU HIDING FROM US?

Two reasons:

  1. I don’t play fighters all that seriously.

  2. Like 6 years ago, I did post there, talked through my ass about shit I didn’t really understand, got chewed out (rightfully) for it, and just never went back.

I’m also fat, white, and extraordinarily opinionated. And often busy. Also I kinda smell. Dr. B’s cool with it but everything smells like bacon to him.

lol for real?
i definitely do not remember that…

“I’m also fat, white, and extraordinarily opinionated”

well i guess we have Jinrai for that lol
carry on

Admittedly I never played Arkham. Wanted to, heard good stuff about it, never did. I know, what the hell.

Dr. B ninja edits certain double-posts, just to show he can.

No worries. If you can try a demo, do so. Play on Hard. Use Batman Button. Feel like Batman.

If you post impressions and spoilers, use spoiler tags.

Dr. B

Spoiler

I lost my job today, but not my faith in the B.

Good news from the producer for framerate whores like myself: “The games are identical. The 360 review code had some issues with frame rates but not major and they are not in the final [product].”

WTF, Where’s the Kojima artwork on the cover?! I could have sworn it had the illustrated Gabriel on it.

Special edition only. Dr. B can sleep at will (not that he needs it). Specs can’t (but needs it).

That image is taken from this post from neogaf. Which he later confirms the purchase by posting this picture from the game. The guy bought it from a mom and pop store in New Jersey that broke the street date early, not from play-asia.

Your URL also shows that you’re using the play-asia referral program. Normally I wouldn’t care since the site and affiliate program is safe but when you’re intentionally duping forum members into purchasing the game thinking they’ll get it early when in reality they could get it for cheaper and faster just ordering from amazon or going to a local shop on day 1 (amazon shipping is free vs having to pay to ship from play-asia) just so you can make a couple quick bucks is rather unbecoming. It’s pretty much spam/trying to sell outside of the trading outlet considering you a) haven’t been a member for at least six months and b) have fewer than 50 posts.

For everyone else I have some spoilers regarding LoS as reported from someone who bought the strategy guide:

unlockable after you beat the game

Spoiler

You unlock Snake’s bandanna and Solid Eye from MGS4 as a costume.

Ignore that guy. He had 2 posts and both were just spamming referral URL’s for play asia so I banned him.

SE LOS worth it?

Considering that no one even has it yet, dunno.

But probably not. Just the ‘soundtrack’ and an art book.

So the LE is 10-20$ more for a different case(?) OST and art book? That doesn’t seem too bad. If I do end up buying this game, the CV fan in me will force me to buy the LE.

I played the demo, and, as someone who plays a shitload of action games there wasn’t really anything there that I haven’t seen before. I still gotta play the full game, though. I laughed when a knife 1-hit killed the wolves I was fighting but it took an entire whip combo to kill them. Knives usually suck as a sub-weapon, goddamn!

The knives are silver, of course.

Demo doesn’t really show much, only the basic controls and a starting area. (My guess is that they want to keep it spoiler free so they can’t show more) Action feels fluid and responsive so that’s a good thing. Nothing really new compare to other action games but it is just a demo…the non playable scenes after the demo ends looks good though, we shall see.
