Hey all, haven't been on in awhile. Saw the premier with Shankar at Indy Pop Con after he had a panel on it. Only 2 episodes in and just wanted to give an short initial thought before I see the next two.
I think this adaptation really brings the life and lore of Castlevania to where it has been with some of its most popular games. The horror, gothic, bloody, and graphic design really is something out of the ordinary these days and (while gross as f**k when seeing it) it is really original to see. I haven't played Lament of Innocence to get the full background lore that the games intended, but when I saw basically what was the intro screen of Castlevania 3 in about 12-16 minutes, I was stoked to see that I knew this plot line and to finally see it played out (what with Lisa, hearing about her from SotN) was just awesome.
Dracula, who I did not expect to be a gentle man that warmed up easily to Lisa. The games always painted him as the big baddy that you, the belmont, has to defeat. Its nice that we get to see some development. His rage, once Lisa is burned at the stake, is absolutely brutality and really puts a tingle down your spine. The first moment of all those hell-beasts just ravaging the town one year after his promise is some of the most intense and gory stuff I've seen ON NETFLIX FOR PETE'S SAKE. You know the man means business and his wrath is just bursting with that feeling of "Yeah...this dude ain't going to be easy to beat"
Coming into this, I realized that the church played a bigger role than the initial lore says. They are more painted as an antagonist to Trevor (by means of banishing and excommunicating). This caught me off guard. I will mention now I am Catholic, but after some research I can see why the people behind the series went with this decision (due to the time before the reformation. At some point I thought that this was the view on all of the Catholic Church, but it most likely may just be zoomed on those who had the power and became tyrants with it. This is why we see some of the priests here threatening others and the archbishop being this all-powerful figure and acts like a king. It also seems a bit far fetched, but then again, we are only in a few places, not all of Europe. At first I was a bit disappointed, but then, again after research, I felt that it made sense as long as the writers aren't intending the whole church is bad (yeah I agree there are some bad times in the church. We ain't perfect). Hopefully down the road there is some good people of the church down the road for the show.
To continue off of that, Trevor's character is good (I agree with what most people said here in the thread), but I find the lack of a religious faith in him. Unless this is later explained (and I will edit my post once I reach the other two episodes), all I see him disliking the church (for understandable reasons), but the thought of God aiding him in his quest wasn't really there. In CV3, Trevor prays before a crucifix before he travels off. I hear that he does use holy water in one of the episodes, but does he have a faith or not? Are we going to see the bible and cross subweapons? I'm not sure just yet.
I still think this is a great adaptation even though I have my gripes against it. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. I'll try to stay alive more around these forums, (just been too busy playing games instead of using the internets these days).

SOTN kinda had a little bit of a playstyle in terms of it's familiars. Which ever one you wanted was going to be the one with the most exp since that is the one you've used the most. Not to mention some familiars in SOTN helped you find secrets and goodies or sometimes they'll hit an enemy that is out of your reach which is great.
If bloodstained had to choose, it would be SOTN for me.

Do these count? Ahhh....Amiibola at its finest. I remember when I had that curse. Now I gave away my amiibos to my friends and kept my Shulk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topic: I love and I mean LOVE collecting Hats. I'd show some of them off, but that requires work so I may put that in later on (got a presentation tomorrow and a exam to study for on Tuesday....Soo maybe sometime later?

Yes and no.
Yes for it would be really fun incentive in speedrunning the game since you deal way more damage but have to be very careful with enemies. No for every single time I've encountered this type of item in Castlevania games, I've always put it on, raged, unequip it, then feel like I'm doing damage with a toothpick, rinse and repeat.

Ahh Metroid....what a beautiful series. SM was my first Metroid since my family owned a SNES. Had like over 20 playthroughs and I'd still play it again if I had time to emulate it. Moved up the line with Prime 1 and 2, got a GBA with Fusion and Zero Mission, Prime 3 came out. I loved the series then, I still love it now. I did skip Hunters because I never liked the controls and I went back to try Metroid 1 and 2: Return of Samus, but I never completed them because 1 was too hard for a under 15 year old LuckPercentSRL and I got bored with 2. To some it may seem a surprise, but I did enjoy Other M. Not its story per say, but the gameplay was pretty solid besides a few bits. Wish the series could come back to life these days. With the whole Fed Force and AM2R being shot down, it hurts my hopes to play a game again by Nintendo. ------------------------------------------------- On another note, anyone catch the Summer Games Done Quick 4 way race of Super Metroid near the end of the marathon? It was super tight and seriously heartpounding for the runners.

Grow/Shrink for me.
It would seriously make my life more enjoyable. If I'm in a tight spot, just reduce size and sneak away. Or grow big and have extra fire-power behind me. Plus also I have a thing for small things. The idea of what it would be like to be like 3 inches tall would be something. Riding model trains, eating gigantic foods, seeing the whole world from a view point like that....just....wow.
Seems weird, but you just got to get a feel how this would be cool.

Is there an end date for the contest, or can somebody find out when the contest is supposed to end? I wonder if anyone is still running? I've seen players with sub 2:30 times, but wasn't the contest suppose to end, I was under the assumption that it was a short term thing? I haven't seen any updates about it. I'm playing for fun at this point, but has anyone else tried utilizing the weapon swap glitch with the boots to get extra damage out of Vepar? It saves a couple swings (and seconds) if timed right. At this point, I'm pretty happy with my 3:18. One problem is that the game chugs with my computer right now, which the whole thing itself is being slow as of lately. So I really can't play some games with the frame rate chugging down to 10 for a few seconds a time. Second problem is school is back in session (Even though I said I would stream again after school started) and I'm completely busy with real life stuff. Really the only time I can get time to stream is before I go to bed on school nights (which usually results me in playing Overwatch or youtube for like 45 minutes then going to bed early) or weekends, and usually there, I am a huge lazy butt who can't do anything else except procrastinate on homework. Siiiigh. Maybe one day I'll get to streaming...maybe tomorrow? Hopefully. Will I ever return to Demo% runs? Maybe. Honestly, I'm waiting for the beta if there is one and eventually the full game. Considering going back to Axiom, or moving on to Another Metroid 2 Remake to do some any% runs. If I were to return to Demo% runs, I would possibly go for a sub 3 and call it quits.

May be the wrong place to introduce yourself. We have an introductions thread Here. In any case, welcome! To answer your question (if its something small like this, maybe the shoutbox down below may be a better thing) I believe the whip is still part of the game. There hasn't been word on IGA-san saying no whip...
