This game has been getting alot of shit and I think its not because its a bad game but mainly because people simply just want to hate it.

Castlevannia fans make no sense. All they want are 2D games. Even with the recent announcement of Castlvannia for PS3/360 they still arent excited because it most likely wont be 2D

Back on topic the game DOES NOT look ugly. People say the graphics are shit which is a fucking ridiculous statement. Those graphics while not amazing look good.The gameplay also looks good.<---(Edit -MY own personal opinion.) The video uploaded onto this site however does not do the game justice because whoever the hell was playing the game sucked.

The main resons people hate this game

• Its not 2D
• Its graphics are "bad"
• Its a fighter = close minded<----People automatically wrote this off because of it NO SENSE.
  
• Different character design.<--Im not a fan of the artists work but its not terrible. Original design still look fruity=P

Im not really trying to change any minds but Id just like people to give me some valid reasons as to why they dont like the game. Especially since the majority of people have never played it and never will.

You ask for valid reasons and then say that you don't need justification for anticipating the game because it's all down to personal opinion?

You cannot be serious.

Im not a fan of castlev.

Like I've wrote on Rol's wall:

Konami just seems to be getting blasted this generation for no particular reason from Ninty fanboys that haven't played their previous games on many other consoles (I assume that's the case, look at Tres!). I think it's unfair for them to judge whatever Konami is doing, because between you and me, they mostly make amazing games. How is this one going to be different? It's not a Castlevania platformer, so what? It's still Castlevania, and I'm just grateful that we're getting another one.

And here's what I usually say: Enjoy the game for what it is damnit, not what it should have been! I simply don't get it.

I meant that the gameplay looking fun is my personal opinion. Of course most people wont even say that the game looks fun they just write it off instantly for being what it is. A fighter for a series thats never been a fighter before.

i think the only reason why Castlevannia is getting so much hate is because it's a wii game.

No, Konami is getting blasted by Wii boys. They get an exclusive game on the Wii from Konami (a legendary developer), and people are not even thankful. They should stop developing for the Wii if that's all they'll get from people watching/playing their ''new'' Wii games this generation. >_>

I wanted to put that BUT I knew it would just be flamebait.

I'll tell you why I'm writing it off:

Because it's not really a Castlevania game, I will not judge it on those merits. Judge a game for what it is, not for what it isn't, says I.

So the question is: what is this game?

It looks like a watered down version of Power Stone with wonky controls, unfortunate camera angles, and random enemies dropped into the fight for no reason other than to exacerbate the problem of the bad camera angles.

Like I said, I'm going to rent the game. Maybe it will prove me wrong! But I'm not betting money on it.

Are you being sarcastic?
