Dont worry, we wont attack...the game will do so for us :D
And I hope it's awesome. I'm not saying one way or another whether or not the game is good or bad. I sincerely hope it's great so I have another game to play.

So you came in here just to say that? No one has said it'll be the 'best thing ever'; we're excited about a game that looks like it's going to be a great experience, hence why we're discussing it in the appropriate thread.
No, I was already "in here" reading the posts as I'm mildly interested in the game. You might just be excited, but there are others who are batshit insane when it comes to enthusiasm for games they haven't played yet to the point where real conversation can't even occur because whatever flavour-of-the-week is being discussed is already predetermined to be completely fucking perfect.

Someone at Neogaf got it early and he is giving impressions and he says he loves the game so far.

I also said there are trials and you can select any chapter you want through world map once they are done.

I hope the trials are like NGs mission modes.

Arena, alot of enemies, you are maxed out...go crazy :)

So you are saying its more valid a reviewer opinion on the game say a IGN one than a gamer opinion?

It has to be a impression from a famous site or else it doesnt count coming from a gamer on a forum.

Well if someone else gets the game early and says its shit, you would both be saying his comment means nothing to you, so yeah his comment means nothing!

Now when it gets released and the majority of gamers playing it says its great, then that i am more likely to give some credit, not some random one off Neogaf comment!

No if a gamer on a forum say its shit and reviewers the contrary I will start to get worried,they don't gain nothing for saying it like I gain nothing for saying its awesome.

Reviewers opinions we are not sure what the freakin agenda they have.

Indeed.

I mean I dont care if they hate the game, i would be worried of the problems he/she experienced.

But once you start nitpicking dumb stuff like "this isnt the castlevania I know, I rather play the 2D version" or "music is out of place"...etc. thats nitpicking.

I want impressions of gameplay, glitches, bugs, platforming, replayvalue, combat, difficulties being what they say they are when you pick them, content...etc.

Then whats the point of people posting impressions?
Might as well not do that at all until full game is out.

Korn posted his impressions from the demo did he not? should i take his word for it or yours??

All i'm trying to say is you posting the one comment from some dude on Neogaf does nothing for me eitherway, and of course reviews from professional gaming sites count, the fact that ign and gt gave it sub 8 has me worried but the fact it has received so many 9's means my pre-order will stand and i'll get it day one!, but if another 10 reviews flood in and give it 7's then i may re-evaluate.

WOW reading all these comments has made me lose some brain cells :), Sath\Korn\Iraptor your all as bad as each other, when you love a game you can find no wrong in it, and when your not interested in a game you nip-pick the stupidest things..., i guess where all guilty of this in some shape or form.

I'll be picking this game up, as it has grown on me the more i see of it.

I'll listen to both once there are enough commments and reviews for me to get a general idea, and so far i have heard or seen nothing that would stop me from picking this game up.

I loved NG2 in all the videos and all, until I played it.
Since that day I have been careful to what I like in a game and I am more honest now, if I see something i dislike I will say it.

I have actually mentioned minor issues with LoS long time ago, such as animations could be much better, like jumping, rolling, running, platforming...etc. needs a bit of work.
But as a whole package of what the game seems to offer I dont care much.

Why not? At least the guy isn't expecting a cheque in the mail. The fact that IGN and Gamespot gave the game an average score, no matter what their justification for doing so may be, shouldn't take away from the fact that it's been getting plenty of great scores from other places. It pisses me off how the 9+ reviews are basically ignored once a 'major' site gives it a fairly average score.

Well it's a multiplatform title... so no.

As for listening to KOrns comments on a multiplatform game, I was never serious about that :)

Professionbal gaming site counts as official reviews but not from regular gamers like us?

LMAO that is one of the most funniest posts I have read.

The only thing that makes them "professional" is that they get paid to do so, thats it.

Sath you know what makes you seem like some crazed Castlevania fanboy!, is the fact that when a game you like gets good reviews you post it and call it great, yet when one of them post a negative one you call them unprefessional and not paid off hence the reason they gave it a bad review, you sound worst than thoes crazies on the GT forums!.

You have to take the good with the bad and aceept it, there will be people and pro gaming sites that just dont think its good, this dose not mean they are un-prefessional in any way.

"long before me"?

WTF are you on about here DC?

BlackHawk

I am in no way a Castlevania fan, never was.

I dont mind bad reviews as long as they stop bitching about how much of a not-castlevania it is and start giving me more gameplay problems if there are any, replayvalue...etc.
When I do see bad reviews I take those into consideration as well and makes me worried, but when the majority of magazines and sites has given it 8s and 9s (unless DC says they are no professionals LOL) but 3 famous sites given it 7s, it makes me wonder what is that the most saw was so good but 3 sites didnt.

But its all good, even with shit reviews, I would still buy the game nontheless.
I have never let a review effect my decision on purchasing a game, never has and never will.
