Not my first time playing Castlevania as I played it as a young kid, but I thought that playing it now as opposed to then would mean I'd just run through it and say, "Pffft. Easy ass game."
Holy f--- it's a hardass game. Mostly because of the typical NES BS that causes unavoidable damage and makes you fall off ledges when you get hit. Honestly, the hardest part was Dracula because his first form is a pain in the ass, so I cheated and kept saving every time I hit him without taking damage and then loaded from my suspend point on my NES: CE and kept doing it. His second form is cake, but that first form, holy sh-t you have to be pretty skilled to beat it without losing at least half of your health such that you're rattled when you face his second form. This must have been a hard ass game for people back in the day. They must have been using Nintendo Power and sh-t to get through that Dracula stage or else just continuing a hundred times in a row because that's no f'ing joke. Wow... makes the modern Castlevanias look like Sesame Street shit.
Yamcha and Tien suck at fighting. I'm surprised they aren't getting hammered at the bar every night telling random peeps their stories of the DB days when everybody was weak and they were relevant.
How are you starting off the new year? I'm watching Toonami while other guys my age are hooking up with the girls I tried to meet up with this weekend over OkCupid.
Normal Person: What'd you do for New Year's Eve? Any cool parties? Pick up any hot ladies on the prowl?
Zeni: I was (nerdy snivel) tuned into Toonami's marathon of Dragon Ball Z Kai from the time the clock struck midnight until 3:30 in the morning.
No real plans. It'll just be an ordinary, enjoyable Saturday. Booze, food, games, DVDs/Blu-Rays, TV, OkCupid lurking, Unevenedge, YouTube, etc etc etc.
