I suppose the problem is that they don't portray it well enough in-game. >.< It always feels like an afterthought. |

It was the nature of the beast... It's hard to put story on a platformer with limited hardware capabilities. No, the real problem is no one really knows Castlevania has a story because the first games didn't have the serious text in the manuals translated.... |

And reading through the site you linked...I'm seeing several repeated instances of "Dracula rose. A Belmont beat him." as the plot of one of the games, which isn't really all that deep, and is just what I thought it was before. |

Anything seems to be able to wake Dracula up though. Hell, I bet if I answer my cell phone on Castlevania grounds, there will be an army of undead breathing down my neck. |

Terra-- That is probably due to Chronicles/Akumajo Dracula X6800, Super Castlevania IV, Haunted Castle being remakes of Castlevania I. Castlevania II had a different plot. There've been a lot of variations, but yes of COURSE it boils down to Dracula being beaten down by a Belmont. It's mainly what the series is ABOUT. And sometimes even that isn't true, that wasn't the plot for Lament of Innocence, or Aria of Sorrow, or Bloodlines (although the you fight dracula at the end), or or Symphony of the Night or Dawn of Sorrow. Anyway...stop ragging on Castlevania, yo'. You gonna force me to rag on Megaman?! |

Hey, you're the one that brought it up.
That complex story mainly consists of Dracula being reborn so many times that it's become boring and stale, and then various incarnations of the same guy fighting him. |

... Well. Pentazamen-whatever isn't required for the Sniper Wolf Blizzard Battle. I still can't believe I was a pretty good shot. Heheh... Snake proves that winners don't do drugs. Or, they don't if they run out! EDIT: Well, got the Otacon ending. As much as I like the Meryl ending (YAY! Meryl!), the Otacon ending was sad and hilarious all at once. Now, for the tuxedo! ... In a few months, when I forget enough to make the game fun again. |

There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote. Everyday I'm tumbl'n. "This bitch is makin' me all Paru..." ~Hang in There, Kogasa-san! | |
