@MsJubilee Yes! Only he deserved it after that performance of the Joker! Thanks for the good news!

@NotTelevision I really like the LoS saga. It is a modern take on Castlevania. It feels like a GoW but in a good way. Castlevania Lament of Innocence is also like that and it is made before GoW but more people know the one exclusive and not the other.

@Zuljaras Cool. I’m going to try the 2nd game in the series. Now that I adjusted my expectations, I’ll probably get into it.

@NotTelevision You mean LoS 2 or LoS Mirror of Fate?

Chronologically LoS(+DLCs) > LoS Mirror of Fate > LoS 2 DLC (with Alucard) > LoS 2.

That reminds me that I need to finish my LoS 2 run.

@Zuljaras Ohh I didn’t know about that one. I see it is on so that’s convenient Steam.

@NotTelevision It is just like Metroid Samus Returns. I think the same engine is used to make it like the one in Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate.

It is 2.5D Metroidvania. You play as 3 characters Simon Belmont (Chapter 1), Alucard (Chapter 2) and Trevor Belmont (Chapter 3).

A very good game. It was initially exclusive for the 3DS. It fills the gap between LoS 1 and LoS 2.

@Zuljaras Thats good. I’m guessing it is a lot of the same people who made Samus Returns because it is also MercuryStream.

@NotTelevision I am pretty sure the same team made all 3 games. I don't understand the hate towards them but to each its own. I am probably biased because of my love for Castlevania related stuff.

@Zuljaras I also really enjoyed the LoS games. They were the first Castlevania games I played to the end.
Dante’s Inferno had my attention, too.

@HobbitGamer Damn I need to find it for the 360 and play Dante's Inferno. Watched videos of it and it looks very good. GoW but with Christian mythology.

@Tyranexx I'm already there, being the cool and crazy uncle. Kids in my family and circle of friends really love that I'm still so into video games and all that, and I also like to entertain people, either by doing funny voices or imitations, and just like with the adults, I always have comedy on my mind, so I'm nearly always able to get a laugh out of someone.

@bimmy-lee Yeah, I got that already. The couple hundred bucks I mentioned was what it'd cost me for the trip.

@Zuljaras Oh, you should get it. I still have my copy of that game, and it is pretty damn good. It has a really cool story, great graphics and colorful and inventive environments, and some really great end bosses. Far as I'm concerned, it's one of the last good and micro-transaction free EA games...

I don't know if you're determined to find a physical copy or not, but if you're okay with digital, it's only 15 euros on the Xbox Marketplace.

@ThanosReXXX 100% physical copy I will find it pretty cheap I am sure. From time to time it pops in my second-hand site (something like a local ebay). But I am sure I can find a cheap copy on Ebay as well.

Although I have it on PSP physical but the graphics and some of the features are not 100% the same.

@ThanosReXXX Aaaand just like that I found it and ordered it. Tomorrow I will have Dante's Inferno for the 360 It is around 8$.

@Zuljaras I can imagine. I didn't even know it was on there. Must have been quite a downgrade in graphics, seeing as a PSP is basically a portable PS2 light.

EDIT:
Well, that's a pretty decent price.

@ThanosReXXX Actually it is pretty decent for a PSP game. The gameplay is 1 on 1 with the PS3/Xbox 360 BUT there are less skills, no relics, no absolution mini game and NO Divine Armor.

You play it there for the action and for the story. After all they managed to get ALL of that on the little UMD disc.

However I bet that it would look damn good on the One X.

@Zuljaras Well, it's actually backwards compatible, but I "only" have a One S, so I wouldn't know how much better it would look on a One X.

And I can imagine it still looked decent enough, regardless of the downgrade, on the PSP. And the smaller screen obviously also helped. It's basically what the Switch is now also making good use of, with quite a few titles...

@ThanosReXXX Just checked and Dante's Inferno is not Xbox One X Enhanced so it is just like the One/S

@ThanosReXXX I'm a kid at heart! I do adult tasks of course (henceforth referred to as "adulting") and know how important many of them are, but I get little to no joy from performing them besides the feeling of relief when they're finished. While I've considered stepping back a bit from gaming to allow for other hobbies/interests, I don't think (at least at this point in my life) that I could fully give it up. It's a big part of my identity. It saddens me that some out there "grow out of" gaming. It's easily an activity for all ages.

But nope, I have no issue spoiling (to a point) and interacting with kids, particularly in my own family. Some of my cousins already have their own little ones, but the ones I see a lot of are a bit young for the controller right now.

I am at it again. This time I am thinking of making some mythological creatures. My first stop is a Cyclops.

I am making the head. He is squinting at something. I imagine the cyclops to be the helpers of Hephaestus the Smith God since they are resistant to the heat of his furnace.

He will be a craftsman.

He looks nice. Like a grandpa.
