And at this point in the thread, everyone disregards TMB.

Yet again.

Reading his posts is like watching repeats of Rhoda on Nick at Nite. Its just the same repeated ******** no one likes.

*Cure* · 10-07-2010, 09:43 PM

Good job on blocking the car.

Peanut · 10-07-2010, 09:56 PM

I guess I'm guaranteed to like it now.

I love how the biggest complaint was that the combat was button mashy and the writing was awful, two things every review has said the complete opposite of.

*Cure* · 10-07-2010, 09:57 PM

TMB is the Spitfire of games, cuz he hates anything American.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-08-2010, 01:05 AM

It all makes sense now.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-09-2010, 01:01 AM

Fu*k transportation. Games are more important.

Downloaded Shantae for DS. One of the absolute best 2D platformers that nobody is going to play.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-09-2010, 01:22 AM

Whatever. If the consensus is that this new Castlevania is what people like and what we'll be getting more of, then it looks like its time for me to part ways with the brand. That game was just awful.

*Brodie* · 10-09-2010, 02:48 AM

I just started it. Its pretty neat.

Biggest downside thus far? The main protagonist's face is kind of badly rendered, especially considering how good the rest of the game looks.

Might be all the character models in the game as a whole, kind of out of place in the world. But mostly just in the face.

Awful? Well, they can't all be direct rehashes done in less than a year. I.e., Super Street Fighter 4. You can keep buying those instead, I guess.

I just picked up Bayonetta at Wal Mart for $20 and Prototype for $10... now, to find the time to play them.

You're simply retarded. How can you look at a game as polished and well produced as that and say it's awful?

Why the f*ck do you even pretend you still enjoy games at all and when are you going to grow the hell up about this stuff? When will you realize the difference between a game you don't like and something that is poorly made?

On the topic of the game itself, I've only played through the first chapter, which is 5 levels or something like that, but it's a lot of fun. In a weird way, it kinda gives me the vibes I used to get while playing the original Castlevania games. There's kinda something sinister and mysterious, yet wonderful, about the world.

*Cure* · 10-10-2010, 06:30 PM

I beat Castlevania and am now on Enslaved. I'm liking Enslaved so much.

I heard they're some Zelda references in that game. I think it was about the Deku Tree.

Also, I'm close to passing Resident Evil 5 with my friend from kindergarten. I haven't spoke to him in two years and now I'm helping him pass some games on his new account. And my brother and I are almost done with our second round of Reach on Legendary, I also hope I could finish GTA IV soon. That game is time consuming but great.

CASTLEVANIA!

What do you guys think of it? i'm actually not currently playing it, but have been heavily considering picking it up for the last few weeks. I'm a little tight on money and the reviews are so mixed that it's hard to justify a purchase. I'm a sucker for GOOD boss fights and good art design though, which this game seems to have a lot of. I've played all the action greats from Ninja Gaiden to God of War, so I'm a picky action gamer. What do you guys think?

*Cure* · 10-12-2010, 09:41 PM

I sure liked it. It's nothing original, but it's fun. I'd recommend it.

But also, I'm not a fan of Ninja Gaiden, so consider that.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-15-2010, 05:35 AM

Played farther into Castlevania. I'm liking it better. It still doesn't feel like a Castlevania game and I've given up on it in that regard, but it's a good game on its own.

As for Sonic the Hedgehog 4... we're good Sega. I think we're finally good. You actually did it. Thank you for getting it right.

愛 · 10-15-2010, 02:37 PM

I picked up the first Dead Rising a few days ago because it wasn't in my collection for some reason...probably was poor at the time.

*The Stryker* · 10-15-2010, 02:46 PM

I'm just going to ignore that last comment. Ugh.

I played through Alpha Protocol twice. That's a decent game that gets a really bad rap for no real good reason. It's not spectacular at all but it's enjoyable.

Peanut · 10-15-2010, 03:37 PM

Sonic 4 is Sega pulling some wool over retards eyes. If you think Sonic's movement feels right, or that his animation is any good, you need to be shot.

But I guess there's also the fact that "classic" Sonic games have been sh*t since 3, so it's not a huge surprise.

愛 · 10-15-2010, 03:40 PM

Sonic will never be the same. That is a FACT.

If Sega ever wants to revive something, it should be Shenmue.
