i hate this game

[blue]

if theres no lords of shadow haters anymore that means i have passed away

truly flabbergasting this game has straight shooters for it. theres not a single redeeming thing here past how the game looks. what a truly abysmal piece of video game history. the megaman x7 of castlevania. i do not understand how some of yall can look at each other in the eyes and be like : yes queen underrated masterpiece. fantastic gameplay.

need some of u to pick up more than 1 video game in your life

every time i get mad i look up why people like this game and i get even more mad. i do not think many of you have played more than 3 video games in your lives

Its OKAY at best, it's not necessarily a "bad" game, it's just not very good, even though it's really close to it. It just has some pretty bad decision making when it comes to game design.

I started playing this game again to remember the story before diving into the other two games, because I've owned them for a long time but never played them.

So i'm on my second full playthrough for the story, and trying to have fun with it.

The combat mechanics actually are completely fine for the most part. Maybe I just suck at understanding specific things like block timings or what you can or cannot block, but blocking is my main issue with the combat.

What REALLY bugs me is user interface stuff:
-You cannot easily play through the game just for the story on a repeat playthrough, you have to remember which mission you did last.
-You cannot reset your save file information without going into system files.
-The game does not support multiple save files.

I'm sure there's going to be more things that piss me off as I play through this, but for now. it's just kinda mid.

Games like this are a good example for aspiring game devs to try to identify what works, and what doesn't work just through the gameplay experience.

Edit: Oh, I completely forgot to add why I checked the forums in the first place.

Not having a reward for the trials is stupid as hell. They should have just programmed it into the game, but not showcased it. I was extremely confused if they gave rewards at all for the trials until I looked up that they literally do not exist.

I was doing the trials thinking they gave rewards, now i'm just going to blatantly ignore them.

As I continue my 2nd playthrough, I'm slowly turning into much more of a hater myself.

These golem fights are just as awkward as I remember them being.

shout out to the bone dragon for jsut being one long excruciating fight

also the vampire where the fight just stops and he goes to heal 4 times with a whole small cutscene

do not get me started on the bit in the last few levels where you have to find a cave hidden in a small corner to get a titan key to progress the level

im glad you see the hater vision though...
