    I could never really get into the first DR, the combat always felt really sluggish and unfun to me. I guess that's kind of the point, but still...

    I played a little of the demo for DR2 last week, and it felt almost like the same game.

    Capcom release the same game twice?

    I know, I know, it took me by surprise, too.

    I was just hoping they would make the combat a little more fun and less...

    man I hope this is good

    bale I'm not seeing that pre-order $20 back thing on amazon, does it only show up once its in your cart or something?

    You buy it at full price, then they send you the credit after it ships. Gotta use it on a future purchase

    EDIT: actually it looks like they just stopped taking preorders for that dealy thing. You're boned.

    Doh

    I guess I'll just wait until it comes out and if it gets good reviews then, no big deal

    You probably just needed to give it more time. The control scheme took real getting used to and the saving and leveling was kinda wonky but one fully understood the game fucking rocked.

    Does it work well? I made a spiked bat in the demo, which was fun until it disintegrated, but you can only carry so many items, right?

    Carrying extra materials to find a workbench somewhere seems like it might be more of a hassle than it's worth. But again, I only played the demo version of the prequel episode they released on Live.

    Yeah, because the Castlevania franchise is very forgettable. This game looks like it's just another in a long line of dreadful games.

    It got canceled, last I heard. Probably for the best, unless W.S. Anderson was directing it himself. His passed-off scripts always end badly.

    Also, Beatmania had Castlevania music.

    If it looked terrible, that would actually get people talking about it. The gameplay video makes it look like one of a slue of other games that have come out in the past four or five years. No, at this point, it just looks generic.

    And let's not forget, no draculas.

    no. draculas.

    no. draculas.

    But this is fun

    That's the difference between it and other generic God of War rip-offs like Dante's Inferno and that Conan game a couple years back

    Games don't have to be particularly original to excite me (because what is anymore?), but if they are fun and polished I can probably dig it. One of my big surprises last year was the Wolverine game, and that was essentially God of Wolverine.

    This takes a lot of cues from God of War and Shadow of the Colossus, and from the demo at least they've formed a very fun product, so I'm okay with that.

    I wonder who that mysterious Lord of all Lords of Shadow is in that trailer?

    Perhaps it was Vincent price? Even better if it was Christopher Lee.

    No way in hell that it is the Prince of Darkness.

    God of War is one game

    and I still fail to see how having similar combat to arguably the premiere action game out there is a bad thing
