So! You know, for the next generation of games, I just want one thing.

I know that I like MGS's plot. However, pausing the game for the Codec calls was annoying.

Not just MGS, either. Cutscenes for dialogue are unnecessary. Take Prince of Persia's example... at least, Sands of Time. In that game, the characters talked WHILE they moved along. This meant less cutscenes. I wanna see that implemented more often.

Prince of Persia...
Girl: "I'll cover you!"
Guy: "Don't your liable to shoot me!"
Me: Heh that never actually happens.
Girl: *shoots me 500 times.*
Me: *kills girl, rewinds time until sand is out... kills her again and loads game to kill girl and rewind time some more.*

I never beat the game, but a friend beat it on my ps2 with my copy. That's close enough, I watched some of it.

I never really had problems with her.

I was referring to their conversation in the library, which would have beena cutscene in any other game.

I got bored with running on the walls. It was intresting, but I can only defy physics the same way so many times before it doesn't impress me anymore.

I liked the fighting system though, and was impressed that the fights managed to keep getting harder.

Guess the platform genre just isn't my cup of tea.

So, has anyone seen any of the movies for Dawn of Sorrow for the DS?
It made me cry tears of joy and think "This looks like the greatest thing since Jesus!"

Movies, screen-shots, etc at Gamespot.

Seriously, full voice high quality anime intro for a HANDHELD?! When was the last time that even happened?! And the gameplay itself...so gorgeous...SO many frames of animation!! I'm TOTALLY blown away!

It does look very good. THere is only one problem- it does not star a part of the Belemont clan. If it did, 'twould be perfection.

Yes, I was thinking that...
but then I remembered how hard it was to try to get through Aria with Julius...
and I thought, "You know, the soul system is really bitchin'."

Still trying to supress the embers of smoldering anger.

edit: That and I wish they'd actually get someone who KNEW how to play Castlevania games to do the gameplay demos. Whoever plays in them is so disgraceful and awkward, it's disdainful.

Or they don't want to tell you how to do things, so they did it intentionally. My second worry is that you'll need artistic skills to do that "seal" thinggy with the stylus.

It's got nothing to do with telling people how to do things.
It's all about speed and grace of movement. The classic jump, whip candle and get heart in same movement and then on landing kill enemy in one stroke and move forward, never stopping. Any decent CV player can and will do it.

and about the stylus, I don't think so. For sigils, it's connect the dots. However what IS interesting is that you use it to clear away "weak" castle parts... ice, breakable walls.

I think the conversation that sold me on Sands of Time as during the first boss fight.
Her: You can use the dagger to rewind time!
Me: *Gets beat down by half a dozen guards and rewinds*
Her: You can use the dagger to rewind time!
Me: You already said that!
Her: No I didn't!

The fact that the game paid attention to the fact that I rewound past her comment was just cool.

I've already put forth plans to buy dawn of sorrow.

Aria was some of the best fun I've had on a gba. makes me wish I hadn't emulated it.

so far my DS wish list stands at 2.

Well, actually two if you count Pokemon Diamond and/or Pearl.

But I don't count it because they haven't even said anything about it yet.

They've said they will exist, and thats good enough. Unless they turn out bad. IN which case it isn't.
