Do I buy Dracula X?

[MottZilla]

Castlevania IV was absolutely awesome. Of the earlier Castlevania games, only CV2 was a weak link. And I think part of the problem was likely development constraints and they probably ran out of time before they really had what they wanted. It's still decent but compared to 1, 3, 4, Dracula X, Bloodlines, SotN, and even the Gameboy games it is probably the least favorite.

Don't take me wrong, those are good games, I just happened to pass on them back in the day.

Really?  Even though it wasn't as good as the NES games I was used to, I played the heck out of it and its sequel and loved 'em.

Dear soop.  You buy Dracula X.  You play Dracula X.  You become overfilled with joy.

well, maybe my expectations were warped, as i never played it until about a year ago.
but i just felt the game was way too slow, compared to the console games.

[Tatsujin]

Yeah, adv. on the GB was a dry fart.

[MottZilla]

I mainly played the Belmont's Revenge I think on GB, and only a few levels here and there. The point was CV2 on NES felt unfinished and could have been better than it was.

[esadajr]

Also, considering for how much the watered down SNES port goes for these days, Dracula X for the PCE is an excellent deal for your $.

Re: Do I buy Dracula X?

FUCK YES.

I paid 46 pounds sterling to a guy that was super pissed back about 2 years ago and he shipped it from liverpool. It was eBay and it wasn't sunteam_paul so I didn't feel bad.

It's full of awesome. Every goddamn moment is pure bliss. It will completely slay you on side-scrollers for nigh close to eternity.

[NecroPhile]

61 continues?

[blueraven]

YES

:>

[Bardoly]

Buy it.

Even though I've never had a chance to play it (I soon will, when I get my DUO form Keith Courage tomorrow!!!), I've read soooo many great reviews of it, and I already love the Castlevania series, so I'm really looking forward to the day (soon) when I can get this game and PLAY IT!

[sauce55]

Buy the game

[CPTRAVE]

So did you buy the game yet?

[PunkCryborg]

I can't believe this thread is still going
BUY THE GAME ALREADY SOOP

[esteban]

soop, you really need to put this game on your official "Will eventually acquire" list.

[Tatsujin]

no, he needs to buy the game immediately and stop opening such dumb threads..lol.

[KnightWarrior]

Make sure it's not bootleg

Make sure it's not bootleg

Unfortunately, this has finally become an issue. Even if you get a refund in the end, who wants to waste their time?

Really? Are there more bootlegs now than just Sapphire?

[PunkCryborg]

soop shouldn't be allowed to post any more or start any new threads (like the 50 he does a day) until he owns Dracula X

I've already sanctioned on his TurboKarma, Cool Points, and Turbob privileges. I'm surprised he's lasted so long... he must be winning raffles in Iraq.

I'd like to know this as well. I sent out some lightscribed US Rondos (maybe 5, all were copies I made while trying to figure out lightscribe) several months ago. I really hope nobody is selling their copy.

[SignOfZeta]

You'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to mistake a Lightscribe disc for a real Dracula X.

I'm having trouble finding it now, but a few months back there was a thread here about a guy selling a 'promo' or some crap copy of Dracula X, on auction. Once that one sold, he magically had three more.

Those are the only Drac X booties I'm aware of.

[VestCunt]

Well that's good news. Gougers have been hawking silver-back CD-R "prototypes" for years.

[jperryss]

Found the thread.

This makes Soop a sad panda.  Surely I'm not that bad?

I busted out laughing at this.  Lmao

[esadajr]

Oh yeah, it's here baby. No more playing from a CD-R.

No way!  $30?

[esadajr]

I wish, $30 was what he used for declared value. I paid "standard" price.

That means I start a new post on average every ~2.4 days.  Some of them are quite good.

You blacked out your own name and left the sellers name for all to see on a public forum? Not good practice, man.

You blacked out your own name and left the sellers name for all to see on a public forum? What the hell, man? If that was me I'd come to your house and punch you in the face, in invite you to Tokyo/Yokohama and kick you in the nuts. Delete that shit.

Its a good thing violent people like you don't know about phone books. I mean, everyone's name and address in there...people just waiting to get punched!

Seriously, I find this kind of paranoia odd. Like when people post pictures of their car and they black out the number plate. WHY? That numberplate is attached to their car and in fill view everywhere they go for years, but for some reason if its on the internet they feel they have to censor it.

Damn, I come to edit my post to make it less harsh, and you copied it.

In other words, yeah, I think I did came down too hard. Still, I doubt a lot of people like having that sort of thing shown. The seller probably isn't on these forums, but does that make a difference? It's basic forum etiquette (isn't it?) not to do that sort of thing. And no, I would not really do anything violent about it. That was just to get the point across (which I thought was poorly stated, and I edited it out).

I do hope Esada enjoys his copy of DracX. I'm sure he just posted that without really thinking about it. Esa, do the right thing and edit that guy's info out.



-for the record, I'm not in the phone book. I'm unlisted. Not everyone wants their info so easily available and that should be respected. It might very well be a big deal to some people.

You bet.

Edited out.

Ok, so let's get back on track with this thread.
