It appears the game has more animated cutscenes like that. Maria's ending was pretty freakin' cute, and totally did not feel like it belonged in a Castlevania game.

It is really, really good. Feels like at any moment the game will burst with energy. Do not want to give an opinion yet but it could be the best classic Castlevania in the series. Yes. I am implying it could trump Super Castlevania IV. It lacks directional whip control, sure, but it has item crashes, character selection, evasive techniques and while it can be difficult it is also fair. Did I mention it has seven hidden routes that more or less double the play value? If I compare it to my previous Castlevania download (Adventure ReBirth), it seems worlds better. Sometimes there is what one would call Nintendo Hard. Difficulty that is more akin to walking through a dark room full of bear-traps instead of difficulty that requires quick learning and reflexes. Sure Richter has died a few times but if I played it smarter that would not have happened.

I want Bioshock 2. But I need to finish Bioshock 1 first.

I watched my fiancé play Bioshock 1, which was very enjoyable. It's not the type of game I would ever play, but I am very glad to have seen it played. The story was highly intriguing.

WOULD YOU KINDLY?

I feel all alone.

You pretty much are, in Rapture.

... except that you're not.

But oh, you mean you feel alone because you haven't played Bioshock?

No. I feel all alone because I hated every single aspect of that game but grit my teeth enough to finish it.

I love that game's atmosphere. To each their own.

you know

my name is Ryan

and my oldest brother's name is Andrew ;~;

XD

We all love you, Ryan.

Bioshock...honestly if it's not on a Nintendo console it's a 50% chance I'll know what game it is... which is kind of sad, I guess.

I've had Heroes of Mana (DS) for ages but have only just picked it up last night. It's kind of funky, but I like the music 8D

The Mana series is awesome, but Children Of Mana was kinda meh in some respects, and I suck at strategy games, so Heroes Of Mana wasn't a success for me either.

FFXIII Upgrade System ... so easy to abuse. Buy cheap mats, use mats in multiples for +Multiplier (3x = 36 Sturdy Bone/Barbed Tail/Vibrant Ooze), use quality mats in bulk (nothing good to buy yet though for this; best EXP:Gil ratio I could find was like 36% [Paraffin Oil 72 EXP per 200 Gil]).

[spoiler]For the curious:

Multiplier Value:
0-50 = 1x EXP
51-100 = 1.25x EXP
101 -200 = 1.5x EXP
201 - 250 = 1.75x EXP
251 - 500 = 2.0x EXP
501+ = 3.0x EXP

And the items I listed are +14 per item (so 36 of them is 504 points); there will probably be a new tier of them eventually (+21 probably) and those will only take 24 of them to reach the 3.0x threshold.[/spoiler]

Also, Gil is ridiculously easy to get at least by late Chapter 9; almost every 5-star fight nets ~3000 Gil in Credit/Incentive Chips. Most of the non-Reaver fights are snore-fest to 5-star too. Guess I'll spend an hour-ish to farm up to 100k Gil before moving on.

Edit: And by hour-ish I guess I meant two fights >>
