Only if you're going for a hard level 1 run. None of the metroidvanias are as hard as any of the classic games.

Old Axe Armor mode in Portrait of Ruin is apparently pretty brutal too, but I didn't feel like killing a few hundred of them to find out.

Well... it may be up there with Super Castlevania IV, which was probably the easiest out of all the classic games. It is no where near Castlevania 3, though.

I'm sure Castlevania IV is a great game, but I refuse to play it for one simple reason.

That God-awful short man-skirt he wears. What the gently caress is up with that?

Hey man, it's less restrictive okay :mad:

Think about it though: Which Castlevania game is the easiest to control? Why, I think it is... yes, it's the one with Skirty Belmont :colbert:

Simon, Christopher and Trevor all went pantsless on their first outing, and Christopher even forewent them for his second adventure when he was pushing 40. Though the Rebirth game, unfortunately, seems to retcon Chris into a pants-wearer. :(

Yeah... Castlevania has a reputation for characters that look really, really gay.

Although Link from Zelda and pretty much everyone in all the Final Fantasy games are also really gay looking and people play those a lot. Although I can play as green fairy elf boy and BDSM Simon Belmont, Final Fantasy is a little much for me and my dignity.

Yeah sorry but you're pretty wrong here. He got all of the mannerisms and even included the Rolling Rock. It's good satire, even though I enjoy the normal AVGN stuff as well.

It's also Schmorky's normal humor style, so if you don't like the Flash Tub then you're not going to like FFF.

Wow yeah, I mean, if he didn't include the beer I would have hated it even more.

Any person with a normal sense of humor would find this to be amateur garbage. Just because it's "Schmorky" doesn't make it comedy gold ya know!

That is so bizarre... the cute chick has to be somebody's sister or felt incredibly sorry for those guys. You would think anyone possessing a vagina and is moderately attractive would stay the gently caress away from those guys.

Every goon knows that Aspergers is kind of an Internet meme, but that is actual legitimate hand-flapping Aspergers.

Well you can tell by her comment in the article she's just a kind understanding person. She doesn't come off as an "EW NERDS" kind of girl. These guys just had legitimate issues and I guess it didn't bother her that much. It was still funny to watch their show though! :D

It's not really an "EWWW NERDS!" thing. I mean, I'm a huge nerd, but I don't have any serious mental disorders. Aside from my really, really geeky interests and hobbies, I'm "normal".

Also the story about the kid threatening to shoot up a school after a girl rejected him is just :psyduck:

I still remember a joke from that show, where the father says that something is like "having Gladys Knight and one Pip." Nobody else appreciated that joke.

James is back to his old persona in his new video- an unlicensed game based on Little Red Riding Hood, no less.

That game literally looks like a terrible Zelda clone with awful jumping controls and lovely ways of killing your enemies. I'm surprised that he didn't make that comparison right away. At least it gave us a really good AVGN episode. :)

I had never heard of this debacle before and most of the videos on their main page aren't working but seeing this made me feel pretty :smith: about it. The guy talking obviously has problems and it looks like this MTV "show" just let them have a segment out of pity. It definitely has a "sponsoring a developmentally disabled child" air to it.

I loved "because of its many flaws I give Prey a 7/10." So, because a game has not a few, but MANY flaws it gets a solid C?
