To be clear I didn't hate LoS2, I was just disappointed by it. The fact that it was to such a level that near the end of the game I'd stopped having fun is just one of the things I was disappointed about.
None of the Wii shop Konami games have escaped, because Konami, naturally.

It's shit like that that made me stop believing or watching any CG-based trailers. They're almost never a representation of how the game actually plays. I switched to gameplay trailers only, because we all know that 90% of the time we'll be following behind a character in the 3rd person, so swirling camera bullshit is just there to set a scene and drum up presells using bait-and-switch tactics.

Oh, no doubt, I generally hate them too and tune out when a company shows something like this as their sole trailer these days.
But this one was very well crafted and I can appreciate it outside the gaming medium.

It's not a trailer, it's just a cg movie vaguely related to the game. Didn't we learn from killzone

But then with CG trailers we get things like this

Your brand new IP I know nothing, yet you still want me to preorder both the game and season pass the second you've announced it? Yeah, gameplay or GTFO.
Doesn't even have to be a known IP. Elden Ring is a new IP but people had a pretty good idea of what the game would be like after that first trailer just because From was making it.

See, that’s a CG trailer that then jumps right into gameplay footage.
Hey Konami! Where's the Castlevania DS Collection?!
Meanwhile, on my game shelf:
"Are we a joke to you?"

I mean yeah, but you can't play them on the Switch . . . :razz:
And actually, at this point, with me being older, slower, and worse at video games than I was when those games were new, I need the inevitable assists that M2 has been including in their collections. I need the rewind time feature. I need save states. I need button mapping. Because while I might have been able to clear Portrait and Order back in the day, I probably can't now.

Oh yeah and can't forget about the extremely, insultingly slow walking speed, unless you double tap to run which is awful and feels terrible.

When a unit does extreme damage, take advantage of placement order. Enemies attack the most recent thing you set down first. So either set a disposable unit for them to hit on purpose (Gravel) or set your blocking unit with some high defense last (a Defender).
This one was on the right track with the title screen but then I think they made the sprites too detailed and action too smooth :P (I'm not super familiar with the 2600 specifically but I get the feeling it's one color too many too)
That said, this works as primitive Commodore 64 :P
This game has level recommendations? :P
I dunno what part you're at right now but I remember like mid-elite 1 being sufficient for most of the content. It might not be for the last chapter or two though, I dunno (by that point I had a ton of e2s already).
past Ch 2 story you really should have your main operators leveled and promoted to at least e1 or you are going to feel very underpowered
With superior strategy, you can win underleveled. If you're struggling on the strategy part (or your units aren't super OP), then leveling will help.
Yeah, if you're really stumped I think there are f2p (like all 3*/4*) low end guides for literally everything on youtube.
Yeah, I mean like the earlier gen. They definitely could look better but there were plenty of plain ones like that too (i.e. think SMB1 vs SMB3) :P
Also haha, that looks a lot like DOS Castlevania. I wonder if they are essentially the same. I used to own that one
The fact it even shows up to this day is kind of a sign that most of the cast, writers, and crew will need to have shuffled off from this mortal coil to consider it truly gone, and even then I would give fairly balanced odds on someone daring to take up the mantle all the same.
I mean, I'm pretty old, and the series is only 8 years younger than I am. Literally around a third of a century from when it first started off.
