Those are clearly white men wearing scarves, so it's obviously an attempt by the CIA to destabilize the region.

Excuse me, wearing mirrored shades and filming yourself in high contrast black and white in your room full of videogame posters is extremely gnarly and totally rad.

Yeah he's Sikh but they are "Unknown Extremists"

So it turns out the real enemy to videogames turned out to be pachinko.

Pachinko is expected to be the place where all dead videogame franchises go. As shown by the recent Valkyrie Profile and Suikoden pachinko machines.

Being superior to Dawn of Sorrow is still not enough to be a good game.

Being superior to a very good game like Dawn of Sorrow is enough to be a great game though?

PoR was good too.

I don't really think any of the DS games are very good. Not that Harmony of Dissonance was the best game ever, but I think Symphony, Aria and Circle are all quite a few steps above anything on the DS.

Oh right! I forgot about OoE. The gameplay loving owns, but I felt like the exploration aspect was kind of lacking.

PoR was easily the worst of the entire Metroid-inspired lineup IMO

I feel like Circle of the Moon doesn't get near enough love. IIRC it's not really highly regarded in the :airquote:community:airquote:, but I certainly liked it better than Harmony and Portrait.

I haven't played it in goddamn years. I need to fire it up again.

Sakurazuka posted:

This is the correct opinion.

Dawn is my favorite but Symphony comes in close second. I was actually so disappointed in Portrait that I traded it in shortly after finishing it. Probably would have done the same with Harmony if I didn't have the HoD/AoS double cart.

Silent Hill pachinko


I really feel like Until Dawn is the closest to Silent Hills we will ever see. It does a better job of being spooky than either Downpour or Homecoming. It doesn't delve into Satan land like a classic Silent Hill, but I can pretend the mines are Silent Hill.

OoE was good and mechanically interesting and I would've liked to see them iterate on it. I even think Lords of Shadow was a good attempt at what it was actually doing, just that what it was doing (cloning God of War) was a poor and baffling decision for the Castlevania franchise.

Huge part of that is that IGA had nothing to do with that one, and has said it isn't canon (much like Sonia Belmont) AND it was made by the team that made the N64 Castlevanias.

But yeah, it's really great. Love the soundtrack, just wish it could be remastered somehow, because early GBA games don't sound too good.

I hope Bloodstained is going to be rad instead of bad, Igarashi is a cool and charismatic guy and I want his game to do well.

I like that it seems the Harmony of Dissonance team's solution to that was to just make chip music reminiscent of the Famicom version of Castlevania 3.

Circle of the Moon's soundtrack is good as hell. All the handheld games throw in a remastered classic track here and there for fanservice. CoM not only had the most of such tracks but I think it was also the only one to use music from Bloodlines and Castlevania 4.

He isn't starting 2 more Kickstarters before his game is released at least.

The proper way to kickstart is to start one for a game you don't plan on working on for a year so that you can finish the last one that you underestimated budget on, deliver poo poo on the first one, and never send more than token updates on the next one and promptly have a nervous breakdown. Igarashi needs to get with the program.
