Dude I dont care what you all sayz vanilla ice cream was the original flavor all the others have only copied its molecular structure. No seriously ive played ICO in 2002 and i dont suppose to know better as to proclaim it was the first of its kind but im pretty sure it came out before some of those fancy games i never played with. By the way i prefer Chocolate to Vanilla but my favorite is Pistachio. xoxo
Castlevania established this style since the NES era, and you can see that clearly the Slash style for 3D games was seen in the N64 with both Castlevania titles released for that console.
I'm not saying it was the first with that style, but one of the strong ones.
GoW fails completely.
Such beautiful settings and story will never be in a GoW game, which is only fuck and kill.
That's all there is to the greek mythology, just sex and murder. =D
i'm gonna play through and beat this game eventually but goddamn this shit is boring. wish it were a 2d sequel to sotn, but here i am playing castlevania with no castle, no melee challenge, no dracula, no breakable walls with meat questionably hidden in them. i just wish they would left castlvania alone, this isn't a horrible game but they shouldn't have called it castlevania, maybe" god of the shade from the colossus who goes to war with a whip "would have been a more fitting title. thx4tehvid.
@xenojobeia The stories are different eaven if the general plot is the same because of they way they are told and theattitude of the characters.Im not trying to say anything offensive im just pointing out shit for the sake of intelectual prowess ;P
@xenojobeia it is offensive to the people who created the game(unless they intended it to be a soul copy of GoW but that would be fucked up).The spade thing you were going on about , well im not exactly calling the spade a heart. They are both the same genre and playstyle but as far as extra features and storyline goes they are not.Im not exactly a fan boy either, dont get me wrong i really dont like this type of gameplay that much i just like the story.im runnin outa space see next comment.
@ilovemyman001 these guy are idiots....probably all of the criticizers trying to compare games are FAT obese dumbasses who have nothing else to do. what they need to do instead is to GO OUTSIDE and get some ass or something progressive.
@fanboys: we all like games here but the comparing and complaining about copying bullshit(which is nowhere near true), come fucking on.....go get laid or STFU! the s imilarity thing is called GENRE >:P
@xenojobeia Dont say rip off.Eaven if you say its an ok game the term is still offensive. DMC is the original hack and slash, and fight mythical creatures, and use flashy combos, and use an overpowered berserk left handed attack and so on - game.But that doesent make every other game in the genre a rip off.Are all racing games a rip off of the first?No. Every game has something unique so claiming something to be a ripoff is exagerated.
@TheCrimsonDay offensive to who exactly? its a fact it rips off GOW in lots of ways and DMC plays a lot differently than this, where as LOS plays the same as GOW there's a difference. Just cuz DMC is a hack and slash doesn't make it the same, playing DMC is a lot more loose and freer in terms of movement, both Gabe and Kartos are stiffer in their movements, But like I say I like them all. I'm just not afraid to call a spade a spade only fans boys are afraid to do that.
@xenojobeia Ridiculous. Castlevania has been around since forever and it had games on the PS2 way before GoW -_- And its something called a "Genre" Their similar but not Ripoffs.
@xenojobeia ok seriously shut the fuck up you dont know a shit about me. for starters i have played god of war 1 2 and 3 so dont just say i havent played a game when you dont even know me
seriously guys NOBODY! stole enything from enybody. íf what your sayingis right then ALL fps stole the idea from doom and wolfenstain ? O_o and know can we please stop talking about fucking GOW !?
Break a wall using a spider/wolfie, kill few here and there, climb few walls, rinse and repeat. I don't see any weapon upgrading incentive or other factors that would keep me going forward. The combat is fluid and unique, no doubt; but this isn't how castlevania game should be. Hell, the ps2's one was harder than this one. The puzzles are easy to solve. Why do I have to break EVERY door w/ a beast?
@mindsoulbody yeah they kinda went abit easy on those things.
Door i need to break *insert beast point of view looking at gabriel*
it's like locking a door and placing the key right next to the said door....
and there is no weapon upgrades beside those you pick up through the story used to unlock a section you couldn't reach before, they add some small things buuut nothing huge.
im putting an end to this bullshit right now. to all the faggot GoW fanboys saying castlevania stole from its play style you fail. Castlevania had Lamnent of innocence and Curse of Darkness on the PS2 with this play style way before GoW. so GoW stole from its Castlevanias play style. Castlevania is the original hack n slash game. know the facts before you start accusing and just make yourself look stupid
@Alucard613 if ppl want to troll about their game being better sure let em.
but saying a game ripped of a other game is stupid, most of the time their wrong and duno what their talking about, other times their right.
copying something directly from a other game is something completely different from burrowing, im gonna say Dante's inferno was coppying more than this game does, the only different from GOW was the setting and changed controlls, otherwise it was a clone of GOW.
@Alucard613 actually to be honest, Devil May Cry is what started the hack and slash series, not castlevania. so every game after DMC that is a hack and slash stole its play style from it
@zechrov Let's say that Castlevania didin't steal it's game mechanic from GoW or DMC, but let's say that it took the gameplay idea and improved it to it's own purpouse.
@CrippleCrossface you really want to get technical? Castlevania (until lament of innocence, judgement, and lords of shadow) IS a platform game, not a 2D hack n slash
@TheKrustaceox you talking about the old D&D hack n slash bit? im talking about the genre in video games, DMC is what set the standard for future games
@zechrov Im not talking about dungeons n dragons. Hack and slash in games are older than Devil May Cry. Its just that the ps2 and newer consoles made the genre more action paced. Soul Reaver is a good example ( aim at the enemy, strafe and atack? yes.), and even older games (unknow for the fanboys). But yes, DMC did set a place to the genre.
@zechrov hey, um, can i ask you something? WHO THE FUCK CARES?! so what if Devil May Cry came before all other hack n' slash games? yes, it's a fantastic series. that doesn't mean all other games with similar styles stole from it you moron. Castlevania is it's own game. yes, the style is similar. that doesn't make it theft. if something tastes like chicken, that doesn't necessarily mean it's chicken, does it?
@zechrov GoW fan boys are saying that Castlevania stole not Devil May Cry. and actually even with that Castlevania is still the original hack and slash out of these series. The older ones on like NES were considered 2D hack and slash. and are we forgetting Castlevania 64? lol yet another noob to come here to try and prove a point and fails. next plz......
@zechrov but if your on about what is main stream in that genre nowadays then dynasty warriors 2 (November 2000) and Onimusha (march 2001) both came out before DMC (October 2001).
Actually the 1st ninja gaiden was a beat em up(The arcade came before the NES version) I just said something to disagree with you.
I actually had to google this(what was the 1st hack n slash), one b/c i didn't know the answer two b/c your answer doesn't sound right at all, but everywhere I look up cites some dungeons and dragons rpg as the 1st hack n slash. Also Dynasty warriors 2 came out a year before dmc1. DMC just made the entire genre way more popular.
son, how old are you? my guess is about 9 years old! I guess you wouldn't know the fact that Castlevania is the granddaddy of all action/adventure/hack/slash games. All those GOW, DMC games copied the original concept that the Castlevania series had already established decades ago.
@zechrov ACTUALLY...Devil May Cry, God of War and Castlevania stole their core concepts from Space Invaders. Space Invaders was a fun video game and these are just blatantly ripping off the "fun" part of every video game before it.
@Alucard613 Finally someone makes these idiots shut up about that -_- Castlevania has been around for centuries compared to the GoW games. *thumbs up*
@Alucard613 I agree but it's not that simple. Konami probably saw the success of the GOW series and revamped their hack-n-slash style of games to appeal to the same fanbase. While Castlevania were the first of these games, they likely drew influence from GOW. Really question is, did Castlevania fight giant titans before SOTC? :D
@Alucard613 loi is the best of the 3d castlevania games if you leave out graphics, but still not better than sotn. that being said i highly doubt the creators of god of war intentionally borrowed castlevanias borrowing of the 3d hack n slash genre, because alot of other games were doing t0hat before lament of innocence. you made a good point, but lords of shadow clearly went out of its way to borrow qte from god of war, even tho qte finishers weren't made original by gow.. the point is 2d cv ftw
if your a long term castlevania fan, wait for the price to go down to by this games, its not a bad game but its not castlevania,if youre a big fan of the action in god of war, the boss fights of shadow of the colossus, and tombraideresque puzzle solving buy the shit out of this game today.. not a bad game, but not castlevania, meaning not as awesome as it should be for cv fans.
@Bruce372 wheres the castle at exactly? totally different type of game, i love about 95% of kojimas work, but this feels like a michael bay remake of cv. not a bad game but a legit sequel to sotn woulda been a far better game. you're certainly entitled to your own opinion tho.
@Butchurus Have you played Aria of Sorrow or Dawn of Sorrow o the Hanldheld system? It is a legitimate sequel to SoTN, as I am a HUGE fan of that game. However, I am just going with the flow of things with this game. The Castle is presented later on in the game, as Vania, the word, means "woods". Just speaking from an open mind, I suppose.
@Alucard613 Ummmm I agree with you and all but GoW didn't steal anything from any game; Lament of Innocence came before GoW and after GoW, Curse of Darkness came before GoWII. Just stating for accuracy but everything else you've stated is true!
@TenebrarumVires who says i have a problem with it ? i am merely saying that it emulates the god of war style of combat mechanics and finishing your opponents that all
@caorr not really, the only thing it ripps off is the combat, ut then again since he is using a whip (the series staple) and GOW did the best ranged melee combat ever can you really blame them?
@BillyCauseyjr lol why does everyone keep saying that i am blaming the creators of castlevania , all i made was comment . the combat is reminiscent of God of war thats it
@Bimbabimbeta02 lol judging by your choice of words , i think you need to grow up loser......anyways i "JUST" made a comment and I m not going worked up like u because unlike u I actually have a life to get back to rather then aruging about a video game. I d suggest u , give playing games a rest , get out of your parents basement , and live a little XD
@Bimbabimbeta02 LOL i knew u were dumb but once again you have outdone your own stupidity XD what does LIKING MUSIC HAVE TO DO WITH GAMING ? Just admit it u dont have anything as a rebuttle hence FAIL! are u a 40 yr old virign or something ? get out of here dude haaaa
@Bimbabimbeta02 huh who would have thought that you were 25 . you seem to exhibit the mentality and demanour of a 2 yr old ....bravo sir . if it makes u feel better Im 20 and in a prestigious Med program ...so in conclusion u suck ? i dont know u be the judge for yourself :D .
@Bimbabimbeta02 lol i guess when talking to a child u have to reiterate things quite often , so here goes........ I DONT GIVE A FUCK! i made a casual comment and it blew out of proportion because brainless nerds like u have nothing else to do then whine and complain about their precious video games. ITS A FUCKING GAME , GET OVER IT ! geez are u sure you are 25 ? u must be an OTAKU lolz
@caorr but you' saw all the walkthrough? you made it this far? just to say that "gow is the shit" ...you though that everybody in here need to know that You little moron, love GoW and know nothing about History of the Video Games? and I'm the inmature? yes kid... 20? yeah sure!!!
@Bimbabimbeta02 no u prick i didnt watch the walkthrough to complain , i was just curious about the gameplay of the game . i dont think the game is bad , again i have a life , videogames are just videogames , (im going to reiterate once again for your pea-sized brain ) I DONT GIVE A FUCK AS TO WHICH GAME IS BETTER! and why is it so hard for u to accept the fact that im 20 , am i using words too big for u to comprehend ? do u want me to dumb my vocabulary down for u so u can understand ?
the boss battles remind me of shadows of the collossus =)

@Butchurus Have you played Aria of Sorrow or Dawn of Sorrow o the Hanldheld system? It is a legitimate sequel to SoTN, as I am a HUGE fan of that game. However, I am just going with the flow of things with this game. The Castle is presented later on in the game, as Vania, the word, means "woods". Just speaking from an open mind, I suppose.

@Alucard613 Ummmm I agree with you and all but GoW didn't steal anything from any game; Lament of Innocence came before GoW and after GoW, Curse of Darkness came before GoWII. Just stating for accuracy but everything else you've stated is true!

this game is a total rip off of God of War -_-

@caorr I can't see the problem. Even Dante's Inferno was a god of war ripoff, but if it's a good game, why blame it? :)
well I admit this Castlevania has A LOT of imperfections that, if fixed, could have made the game better... but It's a nice game

@TenebrarumVires who says i have a problem with it ? i am merely saying that it emulates the god of war style of combat mechanics and finishing your opponents that all

@caorr not really, the only thing it ripps off is the combat, ut then again since he is using a whip (the series staple) and GOW did the best ranged melee combat ever can you really blame them?

@BillyCauseyjr lol why does everyone keep saying that i am blaming the creators of castlevania , all i made was comment . the combat is reminiscent of God of war thats it

Implying that God of War wasn't a ripoff of Devil May Cry.
