  • Evangelion Franchise Announces New Series

  • As long as it’s not Anno. I love the OG series, but I’m sorry man, Rebuild of Eva was a complete clusterfuck.

  • No “maybe” about it, the time for soft language is long past. Billionaires need to be taxed to the hilt to pay for the aggregate needs of the populace and national infrastructure. They don’t pay their share and they leverage their wealth to continually increase their wealth and influence while not contributing to the commonwealth.

    There’s no reason for these people to have more money than god, and we’ve seen them have exponentially disproportionate power and levels of influence in politics and life in general, influencing all aspects of society as their levels of wealth have dramatically increased over the last decade and change.

  • Seemingly good, just massively padded. We're talking about what was a ~30 hour PS1 RPG being milked for three entire games. One of which, still isn't released nearly 6 years later. Squeenix basically got away with selling parts of a game.

    I actually own Remake and Rebirth, but I just can't get into them because... why bother? Not like I can finish it.

  • Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse - Announcement Trailer

    跳过

  • I love CV3 but it's brutal, I've played it off and on since around 1991 or so and still never finished it.

    Have you played the Japanese version, Akumajō Densetsu? Some of the tracks in that version are even better with the use of the fancy sound chip (VRC6).

  • Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse - Announcement Trailer

    跳过

  • Nah, it’s great and has some of the best music in the series. I mean, it introduced Bloody Tears!

    Try a romhack of the game, like Simon’s Redaction or Simon’s Quest Retranslated, it’s absolutely worth a play.

  • Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse - Announcement Trailer

    跳过

  • Nope, believe it or not the first Metroidvania style game was Castlevania 2: Simon’s Quest for the NES. It was actually an excellent game, but a botched translation to English made it more frustrating and obtuse than it should have been. It was rather ambitious for a NES game.

    Also, while level based and not Metroidvania style, Castlevania 3, Super Castlevania IV, Bloodlines, and Rondo of Blood were all fantastic games and Iga’s games have their lore and continuity based on the prior titles. In fact, SotN’s intro sequence is literally the ending of Rondo, it’s a direct sequel.

    Not to mention, while it wasn’t as well received, the attempted series reboot (Lords of Shadow) was pretty great too. Mostly people didn’t like the gameplay changes for the 3D title.

    And that’s not even getting into the N64 and PS2 games (one of which, Curse of Darkness, was popular enough that the first Netflix Castlevania series involves characters based on it).

    Metroidvania was Igarashi’s style, to the point they were sometimes coined as “Igavania” games, but they’re not the end-all-be-all of the series.

  • Koji Igarashi was responsible for the “Metroidvania” style, but was not the creator of Castlevania. He worked on the series from Symphony of the Night and through the NDS games, and his last involvement was as producer of Harmony of Despair in 2010. There were games in the series both before his involvement and after.

    Iga’s great, but Castlevania is still Castlevania without his influence.

  • Splinter Cell series - Chaos Theory, Conviction, and Blacklist

    跳过

  • now I don’t think I could enjoy certain political aspects of the story where the americans (the government, not the people) are the good guys..

    As an American, I feel you on this.

    All I can say is that Conviction is a personal story for Sam, and in that one there’s a terrorist threat, but it’s domestic terrorists.

    In Blacklist, the Engineers seem to be global and evidence points to the Middle East, but it’s a misdirect. And while 4th Echelon is working to stop the attacks, I don’t think the American government is painted in a good light in that one either (the stated goal of the Engineers is to get US troops out of other sovereign nations and bring them home). It’s actually feels like a relevant and nuanced plot in the modern day.

  • Don’t know regarding the study, but as a rule coffee “cups” are commonly either 4oz or 6oz.

    6oz is the most common measurement for a “cup” of coffee as far as I know.

    I have inside shoes and slippers/sandals for home and inside exercise use. Outside shoes and boots are for outside only, and come off in the mud room. I live in the rurals and I do not want that mess in the house.
