Ha! The pink theme/thing is genuinely done to be funny and is not intended in any meaningful way as a reflection of sexuality...


Hahahaha...I was gonna say. Nothing against you if you are gay or anything, but I was pretty sure that you were just trying to be funny with the whole pink thing. I tend to have a habit of playing as female characters in games whenever possible, as I find female characters to be far more interesting in terms of personality. Castlevania games would probably be an exception there, though. The male characters are just completely bad-ass.

Somehow, I have a feeling that my Castlevania thread was expecting some more worthwhile traffic...

CotM isn't all that bad. It's probably one of my least-favorite Castleroid/Metroidvania installments in the series, with Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance being the only one that ranks below it.

Damn those EUropeans! mad.gif
My guess is that they censored it due to one or possibly a couple of European nations having stricter censorship laws. Consequently the rest of Europe, GB included gets the censored version whether we like it or not. The majority yet again suffers for the sake of the minority...

Please don't assume the grass is greener elsewhere in this respect.

Well, I'll refrain from derailing the topic, so I'll just not comment further. tongue.gif

Anyway, seriously, buy Bloodlines. It plays a good bit faster than all other classic-style Castlevania games, and its storyline strays a bit from what had previously been expected in the series. Plus, Dracula shoots fire out of his crotch in his final form.

I just watched a YouTube clip and nearly retched at how poor the graphics are.

The upcoming DS one looks promising so that maybe the one that tempts me.

Enough already about Dracula's crotch btw!

Erm...well, seeing as how you chose to utilize the first level in your judgement of the entire game's graphics, I'm not surprised. Really, some of the special effects used in that game are freaking amazing.

Dammit...you beat me to it. I've already posted a topic devoted to this game. It really doesn't look all that bad, in my opinion, although it's odd that some screens have anti-aliased characters and some don't.
