    Well at least he learned his lesson in Dracula X Chronicles on PSP and stopped fucking around by becoming God Dracula. He finally figured out attacks in human form there that actually work and kill you in seconds if you don't dodge them.

    It's become a bit of a joke how Dracula always shoots fireballs and volcanic orbs at your general direction. It didn't work with the last 48 Belmonts, doofus, I don't see why it would work now.

    I don't know, what with his horrible back problems, it might have worked on Simon if he had tried a bit harder :P

    speaking of castlevania, is there an easy and legal way to get a ton of castlevania music? itunes or something i guess?

    If you have a midi to MP3 convertor you can get the NES tracks from a game site I can't remember the name of. Amazon has a few of the soundtracks on DD for $9.99 too.

    The Castlevania Dungeon has a pretty huge archive of MP3s you can download, and they're all hosted on Fileplanet. I'm assuming it's legal since it's been around forever. Google Castlevania Dungeon and check it out.

    Konami should really stop titling their Castlevanias with "x of y". Harmony of Despair, Harmony of Dissonance, it's getting confusing. Seriously, when was the last time they didn't follow this routine?

    Well, to be fair Harmony of Dissonance had an entirely different title in Japan and they probably didn't give two geese what it was called in America when they decided they wanted to use the HD initials for the new game.
    In English, Juste's game would have translated to something like "Concert of the Midnight Sun" or "White Night Concerto."

    Every game from Rondo until the DS games used a musical reference in the title, then the DS just started using whatever they thought sounded cool at the time (with Dawn of Sorrow obviously be named as such for the DS initials and Sorrow reference to Soma's last game).

    Me neither, so I just looked it up. Apparently the game may just randomly delete your save file when you load it up. So you should either back it up on something or not play until the patch because it's completely random. This also happens on the 360 version but the message is lying. The save file still works perfectly.

    Awesome news on that patch! I've been holding off at around Chapter 6, for fear of having my save wiped again on the last boss. :? I love this game, but I don't know if I could take having to start all over for a third time.

    I guess in the meantime I'll go (finally) pick up Deadly Premonition and anxiously await the patch.

    Is SotN on Ps3? I did my exchange for a Ps3 copy and there's the code again! Sorry kiddies, this one goes to my very awesome little cousin who loves Psychonauts, rocks at Brutal Legend, and has exceptional taste for his age.

    Wonderful. His dad likes Dante's Inferno. I will correct him while I'm at it. :x

    The visual quality between a 360's Component and the Ps3's HDMI cable is staggering. The slowdown in the game is actually no different from Ps3. The book menu is at 60 FPS on the other hand, and the loading between flicking pages is more noticeable. Other than that I am very very pleased. I am playing on Knight this time.

    Did anyone else think Camilla was like, super easy? I could count the number of times I got hit in this battle on one hand.

    I actually died on Olrox, but I just obliterated his master.

    That said, the boss is still awesome. Especially the halo timing event at the end.

    I'm playing again on Ps3, and I think I'm doing something wrong. I grab the goblins with R2, Gabriel gives them a shank and throws them, then they run away and blow up. The subtitles says Gabriel is supposed to gain a grenade, but that doesn't happen. How the heck did I do this right the first time?

    The goblins throw grenades, which you then have to pick up, you'll automatically throw them at the thing you're supposed to blow up, or the nearest enemy if there's nothing to blow up.

    Dammit.

    I might be able to wing it with the Hong Kong version then. Sometimes they have japanese voices with english subs. I'll have to look into it.

    Why do you even want it in Japanese?

    This is a Western developed game and English is the primary language.

    Yeah guys I'm a basement dwelling mouth breathing weaboo because I like a bunch of particular actors and found it cool.

    When in actuality I was hoping the hong kong version would have both english AND japanese, because I also want to hear patrick stewart.

    Try not to jump on the first available stereotype that comes to hand when talking to people, I know it's hard but you can do it. I believe in you!

    I wouldn't get your hopes up. There's not enough room left on the 360 version for an extra voice track, due to all of the pre-rendered video. And Konami isn't going to include a feature in the PS3 version and not include it in the 360 one, so that's out as well.

    A few things I feel could be added to the OP.

    1. The fact that you can take screenshots of the artwork on PS3. I bet a lot of people don't know about this.

    2. Ditto custom soundtracks on PS3.

    3. This awesome collection of doujin Castlevania music.

    4. A retrospective review written by me. While I am currently not commissioned to review LoS, I did do a write-up on the next best thing.

    Right now on Chapter 5, and they just keep ramping up the epic meter.

    I also got an honest-to-God jump scare from the
    Ogre

    in Chapter 4. Thing came out of nowhere.

    Also, I heard there's a trailer that includes the intro theme to SCIV. Anyone got a link?

    Hmm. Well then since I'm equally interested in both versions, I'll have to look and see which one is cheaper in a few months, when I plan to get it.

    The other reason I was looking at importing it is that australia is $$ rape land for games and it's usually significantly cheaper to import it.

    The Spanish are really into their horror/fantasy settings (Pan's Labyrinth, REC), so I bet it would've sounded exceptional.
