To be fair, none of the GBA or DS iterations ever sold as much as SotN, which was the best-selling Castlevania game until the first Lords of Shadow exceeded it in that regard.
This is unpopular? XI is basically ignored by a majority of fans, XII is cult at best (although more and more people have been revisiting it and liking it lately), XIII is polarizing and even people who like the game generally admit that it's not that great and XIV is in the same boat as XI.
I kinda disagree. Games are becoming more accessible, but there's always indie games to scratch that old school itch. Not to mention games like Dark Souls. Plus its worth mentioning that most modern mainstream games come with adjustable difficulty and other options to increase the challenge. IMO most games are actually pretty challenging if you play that above normal.
Castlevania 3 has those moments that make you upset but it's fine. Ghosts n Goblins is a different beast. From the amount of hell it brings you, the dickish level design and how you have to do it twice makes it really tiring to most people.I really like games like Ghosts n Goblins and Castlevania 3 however I've met a lot of people who hate these games because of how hard they are. I'm not sure if it's unpopular to like these games or if it's just the people I know that don't like them.
Explain further please, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I hate some Isaac fanboys so much that I refuse to play any of the golden sun games, because I think I will hate the games because of them.
The Werehog really should have been Knuckles. Knuckles and Shadow were actually supposed to be in the game (idk what roles exactly, probably not playable) but were cut from the game for unknown reasons.
...What? I want Isaac in as much as the next guy, but seriously? As a lover of Xenoblade and Golden Sun I can't help but be both very confused and curious as to whether you're trolling or have been trolled.
There is some truth to her statement. During pre-release Smash 4 speculation, Shulk actually was seen as Isaac's competition due to them both being blonde JRPG protagonists. However, as of now, I have yet to come across anyone claiming that Shulk outright killed Isaac's chances. Either they think he's unlikely due to the Golden Sun franchise's uncertain future, or they are confident in his chances thanks to his immense ballot support.
Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I really want Isaac in, but I don't think he'll get in. Golden Sun isn't popular in Japan, and Japan doesn't really care about what happens outside of Japan. So unless Isaac is top of the ballot, I wouldn't bet on his chances.
Had this been the case I feel like Unleashed would have gotten significantly less **** from the press and community.
I didn't like Smith's Sonic for a really long time, but after watching the Boom Cartoon I can confidently say that he's gotten a lot better. I still like Griffith a bit more, though.
I never got why this was a problem for some people. Having multiple playable character has always been part of Sonic. Prior to Unleashed, the only main series game where Sonic was the only playable character was Sonic 1.
It's probably because Sonic's gameplay is generally the most popular, which, to be fair, you can't fault them, he does have the better experience.
This is one of the reasons why Sonic doesn't interest me anymore. More playable characters means more variety.
Maybe we should just make a Sonic the Hedgehog topic.
We've had a few but they usually end up sinking to the depths of the Light House.
Sonic Lost Worlds was announced for PC so that's technically new.
Plus SEGA was in the business of porting their games to PC long before that become a trend. Games like Daytona and Panzer Dragoon got PC ports while the Saturn was still a thing.
Anyone that has a problem with a company putting its product on a piece of hardware in hopes that it might sell units isn't really worth talking to. Tune out the platform warriors and never go back. You don't have to engage the 14 year olds.
Have you heard of the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive)? Or perhaps you were only referring to Sonic games since Sega went 3rd party.
IMO...
Sonic 1 is....pretty average in my eyes.
I'd be lying if I said that CD wasn't my favorite 2D Sonic game.
For me, CD falls in between Sonic 2 and 3. It's an overall good Sonic game with unique stages and sweet music.
On this note, I really don't think P3 is all that great of a game. Dungeon crawling gets really dull, I don't like having an AI controlled party, IMO none of the social links are all that interesting or memorable (save for Elizabeth's) and the story feels like it's trying too hard this edgy thought-provoking masterpiece.
The only issue I see with Sonic 3 is the fact that Carnival Night exists.
