even the voice clips that they actually used for that game were insane. at one point i had a thing that would play all the sounds on the disc, it may have even been included. wanted to make a Windows sound theme out of them but never got around to it

I played Guilty Gear tonight, my first fighting game since Smash Bros. Melee. Spent fifty minutes in the tutorial, played once through arcade mode (eight consecutive matches against the beginner AI, button-mashing my way to victory, I really didn't learn a thing), then I spent another half hour checking out everyone's super moves and animations.

Fighting games aren't for me, which is a shame because these Guilty Gear characters are the right kind of anime, except the lame-o ones who seem stupidly serious

Konami asked Nintendo how they can revive interest in the Bomberman series like how Fire Emblem was revived.

Nintendo told them to just fill it with fictional women and/or girls.

And so we arrived here.

Because this worked so well for Gradius.

Also lmao at this quote from the Castlevania thread.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:

Warren Ellis was working on a Castlevania project back in the IGA days - it never went anywhere, obviously, but here's the excerpt he posted back then:

quote:

EXT. VILLAGE - NIGHT

The village of MURDENU, as denoted by the wooden signpost hammered into the dirt track in front of an INN. Under it, a sign points left for GRESIT (15m) and right for TÂRGOVISTE (70m).

SUPER
TWO WEEKS LATER
It’s a cloudy night, no stars or moon. The only lights in the shot come from the lamps burning in the windows of the inn, from which we hear:

BOSHA (O.S)
So I said to him, it’s my goat, I’ve been tending goats since I was four years old –
INT. INN - NIGHT

And TREVOR BELMONT, the last of the legendary vampire hunters, sitting alone in the back of the drinking-house, wrapped in a heavy cloak and nursing a flagon of watery beer while, at the bar counter, BOSHA, a burly middle-aged farmer, blusters at KOB, a narrow man still wearing a blacksmith’s apron. The INNKEEPER is trying hard not to listen.

KOB
…Right, right.
BOSHA
– and I’d know if my goat was in love with you.

KOB
For God’s sake.

BOSHA
And he says to me, I know your goat is in love with me.

KOB
So you said “how?”, Bosha?

BOSHA
So I said, “how?” And he says, well, she fucks me, doesn’t she?

Bosha pauses to down his beer.

KOB
And that’s when you hit him.
Bosha clumps the beer pot down on the bar.

BOSHA
Right across the eyes with a shovel. And now the headman says I have to pay the bastard money because he went blind.

I redownloaded soul hackers and am powering through it. Wish me luck! I probably won't do the new game+ right after I beat it, but I think that's fine. New game+ is for when you've put a game down for a while and want to go through it again.

I am worried about the upcoming castlevania series because last I heard Warren Ellis had replaced the whip with a sword, so there would be zero point to any of it.

There's no whip in SOTN (excepting Richter mode) and that's like the most popular game in the series.

Don't be mistaken, there is no point to any of it, just that's not the reason why.

In fact very few of the post-SotN games have a main character who exclusively uses whips.

and they'll totally be cool 2D platformer DS Castlevania games and not Lords of Shadow 3

Destiny 2 is going to be poorly received because fans have the unrealistic expectation that they will actually be able to transfer their Destiny 1 progress over to the sequel, and there is just no way that is going to happen.
