Didn't they already said, years ago, that RE6 would return to the series roots somewhere?

year-old thread, people?

I think you should do something constructive instead, like planting a tree.

It doesn't look like a Castlevania game. It also looks dumb.

Ever played the first Castlevania games? I highly doubt it, because Lords of Shadow is exactly what those games were. SoTN introduced a new genre, mimicked by the DS titles which strayed far away from its original roots. Castlevania doesn't equal metroidvania, by the way.

As I said before, all Lords of Shadow is is a third-person action game like God of War with some Castlevania-esque art design and character names strewn about. Also, the Metroidvania GBA and DS titles may not play 100% like SOTN, but they still maintain enough of the core concepts and aesthetic to maintain a greater connection to it than your hilarious attempt to connect Lords of Shadow to the first NES game.

What? Hilarious attempt? Look, dude, you have your opinion, and that's fine, and I also have mine. And to me, Lords of Shadow is exactly what the NES version of Castlevania would be in this 3d, modern era. Forest area, making your way to the castle and stuff. But hey, it's cool. At least, I made you laugh, right? You and your hilarity.

Having played the demo, I can safely say that this game is just... more Dead Space. You just happen to have a section on a snow planet to vary the environments. That said, I like the idea that the game transforms its cutscenes and dialog once you switch it to co-op.

Really, I don't understand why people complain about this game. It's not going a completely different way like F.3.A.R. ( fear3 ). It will still offer a solid single player experience. Would you people prefer not to have a Dead Space 3 instead? If so, that's very selfish.

I don't agree with your points, but you're damn right to have an opinion. I don't think Skyrim is that good either; it's a game for simple gamers with very little standards. People who enjoy AC, CoD and Halo usually love Skyrim. I don't mean to generalize, nor to take the merit of these (great) games, what I mean is that it's such a mainstream experience that everything about this game is very plain, dull or colorless. Plain combat, plain soceries, plain storyline. And also, Bethesda can't figure out how to make third person animations work properly.

You know, I don't know if you've figured this out yet. It's pretty difficult, but you can not like a game without straight-up insulting the people who do like it. It's pretty easy, you just don't include stupid generalizations like "it's a game for simple gamers with very little standards." The game is pretty universally liked. It has faults, as all games do, but saying that the people who do like it are "simple" is just stupid and completely undermines your argument.

It's also completely false since many fans of more complex RPGs like the Infinity Engine games also happen to love Skyrim. Myself included.

@believer258 To all of you. I said I didn't generalize. If YOU don't seem affected, it doesn't mean it's false. Skyrim is still a very mainstream and pretty basic experience. There's not a lot of bells and whistles to that game. There's very little that actually take attention and care and energy to get through unlike, say, Dark Souls ( and no, i'm not saying DS is better ). Skyrim isn't a deep, engrossing experience. It is a rather leveled experience that won't ask you to commit more than any of the games I mentioned. It's a streamlined experience. What I meant is that a shitload of gamers don't deviate from those high-caliber triple A titles like those I mentioned. To the point that they don't even know that other great games exist. And that, my friend, is a fact.

Also, I never called anybody stupid and I didn't insult anyone. If you dudes feel insulted, then i'm sorry.

In what universe is "simple gamers with very little standards" not an insult? Don't be naive.

It's not an insult. A lot of gamers are pretty simple. A lot of people I know, actually. They like Call of Duty, NHL and Skyrim. That's it. It doesn't make them stupid or dim-witted. They just like simple, streamlined experiences. They have no idea that gems like Enslaved or Witcher exist, because they won't dig past the icing of the cake. I never insulted anyone.

People don't like the ending because the game ends. No moon child handing you different endings, it just end. Old school 98' style. No fucking bullshit. Game is a modern classic for me; it does everything right. Including its ending.
